The last thing Danny wants to see published is his obituary The year is 1975. Danny Jacobs is an ambitious, young American journalist who’s just arrived in Bombay for a new assignment. He’s soon caught up in the chaos of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s domestic “Emergency.” Willy Smets is Danny’s enigmatic expat neighbor. He’s a charming man, but with suspicious connections. As a monsoon drenches Bombay, Danny falls hard for Sushmita, Smets’s beguiling and clever lover—and the infatuation is mutual. "The Emergency," a virtual coup by the prime minister, is only the first twist in the high-stakes drama of Danny’s new life in India. The assassination of a police officer by a Marxist extremist, as well as Danny’s obsession with the inscrutable Sushmita, conspire to put his career—and life—in jeopardy. And, of course, the temptations of Willy Smets’s seductive personality sit squarely at the heart of the matter. Democracy is fragile and the lines of loyalty and betrayal often cross and cannot be untangled. Perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Steve BerryVoir livre

From USA Today bestselling author Dakota Davies comes an all new small town suspense romance about a broken military hero and the soft-hearted girl he’ll burn the world down to save. She’s my best friend, the one that got away, and now, a temptation I can't afford. Six years ago, I spent the night with my best friend. Maybe it was the pretty wedding we'd attended together and the champagne, or maybe it was how she looked at me that night, like I mattered. Or maybe it’s that I’ve been in love with Ava Greely for longer than I care to admit. When she ran the next morning, begging me to forget the best night of my life, I did what I always do, stuffed my broken heart back where it belongs and returned to duty. Thanks to a family emergency that calls me back to Finn River, my path and Ava’s collide once more. We try to avoid each other, but the sparks between us have only intensified with time, and in one powerful moment, they catch fire. But Finn River is hiding secrets that threaten to tear us apart. Someone’s been watching us, and they don’t like what they see. When the threat closes in on Ava, can I piece the clues together in time to save her?Voir livre
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. This is the second book by Brian Phillipson. The first, Thor's Hammer, introduced the two main characters of Eric Swanson and Gerry Denton. The second book, Pharaoh's Treasure, again sees the two battling the bad guys this time by accident rather than design. Pharaoh's Treasure is a stand alone book that, although a sequel, is not a direct follow on from the first.Voir livre
