Sinossi

Staff Sergeant Mack Murphy was a dedicated Force Recon Marine with a promising future until tragedy struck. When his wife Renée and twin infant daughters are killed in what appears to be a hit-and-run accident, Mack's world shatters. But the trial of Marco Bertoli, son of a notorious mob boss, ends in an acquittal that defies all evidence and logic.
 
Driven by grief and an unquenchable thirst for justice, Mack returns to combat in Iraq, taking increasingly dangerous risks that worry even his closest comrades. When a mission in Ramadi goes catastrophically wrong, Mack is presumed dead under the rubble of an exploded building. But in this moment of destruction, he discovers an unexpected opportunity for redemption—or retribution.
 
Now officially deceased, Mack vanishes into a new identity, meticulously planning his return with a single purpose: to deliver the justice the courtroom failed to provide. As he transforms himself into the ultimate weapon, he infiltrates a shadowy world of human trafficking and organized crime. With nothing left to lose and no one to answer to, Mack becomes the hunter his enemies never see coming.
 
A gripping tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the thin line between justice and vengeance, The Wolf Hunter delivers heart-pounding action and a protagonist fueled by raw determination. If you enjoyed "American Assassin," "Without Remorse," and "Orphan X," you'll love The Wolf Hunter.

Strung

Per Jacobsen

Author Randall Morgan is on his way home after spending fourteen days in the secluded cabin where he always goes to write the endings of his books. However, when he arrives in his hometown, East Alin, he is greeted by a disturbing sight. 
At a traffic light near the city limits, someone has turned a lamppost into a makeshift gallows, and in it a man–dead and decomposing–hangs. 
The sight of the hanged man is terrifying in itself, but it soon dawns on Randall that there are other–and far greater–problems in the small town. Because while he is waiting in his car for the police to show up, several people pass by the crime scene - and not a single one of them reacts to the fact that a dead man is hanging in the middle of the street. 
Something has gone completely wrong in East Alin while Randall has been away.

Crime and Punishment

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Crime and Punishment is the second of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's full-length novels following his return from 5 years of exile in Siberia, and is considered the first great novel of his "mature" period of writing. The novel focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov, in an attempt to defend his actions, argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime while ridding the world of a vermin, and to test a theory of his that some people are naturally superior and have the right to commit crimes if it is in pursuit of a higher purpose.
