Beschreibung

In the subterranean metropolis of Cimmeria, memories are currency, woven into the Mind-Web, a neural network binding its citizens.  Lior Vash, a seasoned memory trader haunted by a fragmented past, navigates this precarious world where the self is a commodity. When a crucial fragment of the Mind-Web is stolen, plunging the city into amnesiac chaos, the Guardians of Remembrance turn to Lior.  He alone possesses the knowledge to retrieve it, a quest leading him to the mesmerizing Glass Nexus.Run by the enigmatic Dr. Erin Lewis, the Nexus promises solace to those plagued by memory loss, offering a tantalizing glimpse into a future free from the pain of the past. But beneath its seductive veneer lies a darker truth: Dr. Lewis seeks to control the Mind-Web, reshaping memories to create a homogenous mind. Lior’s pursuit of the stolen fragment becomes a descent into his own erased past, a forgotten love, and a ruthless mentor’s betrayal. He discovers the fragment holds the key to not only his lost identity but also Cimmeria's fate.Within the Nexus, Lior forges uneasy alliances with Kerry Campbell, a cynical information broker, and Kristin Anderson, a brilliant neuroscientist fighting to preserve individual identity. Together, they form a fragile resistance against Dr. Lewis, their own memories hanging in the balance.  As Lior delves deeper, he uncovers the legacy of Anya Sharma, a gifted artist and the Mind-Web's creator, whose fragmented memories are woven into the stolen fragment itself.  He must choose between reclaiming his past and safeguarding Cimmeria's collective consciousness, a decision echoing in the crystalline heart of the Nexus, where the battle for the mind will determine the fate of them all.  In this thrilling mind-bending novel, Victor Mendoza explores the delicate balance between memory and identity, the power of the past, and the enduring struggle for individual consciousness in a world on the brink of oblivion.

    'Ross Greenwood doesn’t write clichés. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's spiced with a lot of humour' Kath Middleton  
    A brutal double murder on a Norfolk beach horrifies the town of Cromer. The way the victims died is chilling and so Norfolk’s Major Investigation Team task DS Ashley Knight to manage the case. 
    It soon becomes clear that the murders were carefully planned and the finger of suspicion points to an organised crime gang, but as the evidence mounts, a far more sinister theory emerges.  
    Ashley has been allocated a young but opinionated partner in Hector Fade, and sparks soon fly. Annoyingly for Ashley, Hector is no pushover and looks destined for great things. When the pair delve into the case, they struggle to understand who would inflict such suffering on their victims and hope the crime is a one off from a deranged and dangerous individual. But then another body is found. 
    There’s a killer on the loose who must be caught, or other victims will meet their fate by the sea. 
    Bestselling Ross Greenwood is back with the start of an exciting new series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Ian Rankin and Peter James.

    When you’re a hostage of your own nightmare... 
    As the Shadow Island Historical Society prepares to raise funds to restore the island’s beloved lighthouse, someone else has other lethal plans. Instead of the presentation the group hopes for, they attract the attention of a madman claiming the historic monument is his family legacy before firing several shots and barricading the doors. 
    Now, one hostage is dying and the rest fear for their lives. 
    Interim Sheriff Rebecca West is no hostage negotiator, but she’ll do whatever it takes to ensure the elderly captives are safely released. Especially when the perp turns out to be a local boy recently released from the mental hospital where he’d been committed since his mother abandoned him and his father. By all accounts, he’s disturbed but harmless. 
    Or is he? 
    He’s making outlandish assertions about the disappearance of his mother that don’t make sense. And identifying missing persons who disappeared miles away. Are these accusations merely the delusions of mentally unstable man? Or is something more nefarious going on? 
    From its shocking beginning to the jaw-dropping conclusion, Shadow’s Hostage—the sixth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—will make you realize we all see what we want to see, even if it’s not true.

    The Thousand-Year Spy opens in 1944 London, where, as Operation OVERLORD looms, the British Secret Service devises an audacious scheme: the false-flag recruitment of a German admiral who secretly is a communist. There isn’t much time. The admiral will be approachable only during the brief window when he travels to neutral Sweden at the head of a Nazi delegation. For the daring gambit to succeed, the British first must borrow from the Americans a linguistically brilliant young analyst, Linnea Thorsell, setting in motion her rigorous preparations, infiltration, and the ultimate showdown in Stockholm. The Thousand-Year Spy serves up a precarious foray into deception that will enthrall fans of John Le Carré and Alan Furst.
