Summary

'Coakley delivers another hard-hitting assured thriller'— Catherine Kirwan
Fresh from solving a harrowing abduction case linked to drug gangs in Kerry, Detective Tim Collins returns to Cork City, only to discover that lurking in the shadows of its fabled lanes lies a world he's unprepared for.
A series of harrowing crimes—neglected by the very police force sworn to protect—has the city's most vulnerable people on edge.
As Collins digs deeper, the line between justice and revenge blurs. Trust becomes a luxury he can't afford as allies become adversaries and the truth slips further away. The streets he once knew now hold secrets that challenge everything he knows, forcing him to confront the demons of his haunted past—a past rooted in his formative years at University College Cork making him question the nature of justice and the path he has chosen in its pursuit.
As the story unfolds, Tim must decide how far he will go to uncover the truth and whether redemption lies at the end of the road. The question remains: Can one man make a difference?
Experience the brutal and blood-soaked world of Detective Tim Collins in the third instalment of this riveting series. Filled with unforeseen twists, this book promises a visceral journey that will hold you in suspense from beginning to end.

    “I don’t know which is worse: disease of the human body or disease of humanity.” 
    In today’s digital world, no one is safe from cyberattacks. Not even medical doctors and hospitals. Can a hacker remotely kill a doctor’s patients, just by altering medical records? 
    Dr. Mark Lin, a proficient but cynical and disillusioned internist, is the target of such a hacker, known as Doctor Lucifer. Three of his patients at Ivory Memorial Hospital suffer from medication errors, created by the hacker, yet Mark is forced to take the blame. However, he knows that a computer worm is spreading worldwide and crippling network security everywhere. When Doctor Lucifer threatens more patient deaths, Mark vows to defend his honor. 
    Together with the hospital’s information technology team, Mark scrambles to outwit the hacker and avert one medical crisis after another. But the consequences of Doctor Lucifer’s actions still hurt Mark, who soon hits rock bottom at the hands of a vengeful widow and an egotistical surgeon. He has no choice but to hunt down and confront Doctor Lucifer, an enemy with a truly malicious purpose. 
    Doctor Lucifer, Anthony Lee’s debut novel that is the first of a series, is a new take on the medical thriller, featuring unusual life-and-death situations, an antihero doctor taking center stage, and hard-hitting commentary on the state of humanity itself.

    Everly Dupree's to-do list just got longer: clear her best friend's name, solve two murders, and send two ghosts into the light. All before happy hour. 
    When Patrea Evergreen is arrested for murder, Everly leaps into action—as if being haunted by psychic Davina Benet's uncooperative ghost wasn't irritating enough. 
    With zero suspects and even fewer clues, Everly hits a wall until town gossip Jober Peavey starts spreading the most ridiculous rumors Mooselick River has ever heard. But someone thought Jober should keep his mouth permanently shut—and now there's another body on the ground. 
    As Everly digs deeper, she unravels a tangled web of secrets that reaches into the heart of her sleepy town. With Patrea's freedom hanging in the balance and two chatty ghosts demanding justice, Everly finds herself racing against a ticking clock. 
    The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her investigation becomes. Now she must decide how far she's willing to go to save her friend—before she becomes the next victim in this deadly haunting season. 
    When the dead won't rest and the living won't talk, sometimes the most dangerous thing in town isn't the ghost haunting you—it's the truth.

    Lance Bear Wolf and his Shadow Tier operators must stop the rebirth of The French Connection and its terror funding connection to the Taliban. By any means necessary. 
    When the resurgent Sinaloa cartel attacks Wolf and his wife, Elle Parker, on the Crow Indian reservation, the safety of his people becomes Job One—until the president of the United States orders Shadow Tier to stop the Taliban’s opium trade. The president’s underlying message: The drug war is a failure. Fix this now, or your funding disappears. 
    The team takes the dangerous decision to operate in the open … as a drug cartel. The operation yields results, but there is a piece missing. Parker and Kennedy believe a government contractor providing logistics flights into and out of the war zones is involved. 
    Plans are made by the fake cartel for a large shipment of heroin to go to the mafia in New York City, where wholesale arrests will be made if all goes as planned. As the data pours in from three continents, the heroin network unfolds and things to do not go as planned. The takedown of a multi-national drug production, shipment, and sales operation is unlike any operation Shadow Tier has attempted. 
    For the president, it’s a no-fail mission or his administration is doomed. 
    For Shadow Tier, it’s time to bring war back into “the war on drugs.”
