  Breaking through to the truth is deadly 
  After months of nerve-wracking undercover work, Detective Erin O’Reilly is finally getting ready to bring down the Irish Mob. She has everything she needs: recordings, witnesses, and even the secret O’Malley ledger. She just needs to wait a few more weeks while the NYPD makes the final preparations to drop the hammer. If everything stays calm on the street, there’s nothing to fear. 
  But a routine construction job in Brooklyn shatters Erin’s hopes for peace. When a work crew unearths a trio of decade-old bodies, a cold homicide case heats up fast. One of the dead men is a missing O’Malley associate linked to a long-ago turf war with crooked Teamsters. 
  Erin and the Major Crimes squad start digging to find the truth, but unhinged gangster Kyle Finnegan wants answers too. Finnegan may be crazy, but he’s also smart. He’s more than willing to break anything and anyone to reach his goal. Erin and Rolf will have to smash through enemies and so-called allies alike to unearth a secret worth killing for.

  At twenty-six, Princeton grad Michael Wang is trapped. Stifled under the bamboo ceiling at General Motors, he's working quietly on a breakthrough in self-driving car technology that he hopes will catapult him out of obscurity. Disaffected and largely friendless in San Francisco, he's dogged by resentment towards the Ivy Leaguers who never accepted him and his colleagues who see him as passive and faceless. 
   
   
   
  But all that changes when one night, on a freelance coding platform, he meets the beautiful and enigmatic Vivian. She's been admiring Michael's work from afar and represents a rival Beijing tech company that's eager to poach him, liberate his ideas from the stagnant confines of GM, and help him find success. For Michael, it's no choice at all. But as soon as Michael arrives in Beijing, Vivian vanishes. When the true nature of his new position is made clear, Michael finds himself enmeshed in a dangerous web of industrial espionage and counterintelligence. Caught between two countries that view him as a pawn, where do his loyalties lie? 
   
   
   
  Piercingly intelligent and ruthlessly contemporary, The Expat is a spy novel and a thrilling exploration of the myth of meritocracy, high-tech immigration, U.S.-China conflicts, identity, and disaffection that asks: in the pursuit of self-actualization, who will we betray and how far will we go?

  "The Greek Interpreter", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally serialised in Strand Magazine in 1893. This story introduces Holmes's elder brother Mycroft. Doyle ranked "The Greek Interpreter" seventeenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
  On a summer evening, while engaged in an aimless conversation that has come round to the topic of hereditary attributes, Doctor Watson learns that Sherlock Holmes, far from being a one-off in terms of his powers of observation and deductive reasoning, in fact has an elder brother whose skills, or so Holmes claims, outstrip even his own. As a consequence of this, Watson becomes acquainted with the Diogenes Club and his friend's brother, Mycroft.
