Beschreibung

Originally published in 2002 and nominated for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Novel
		 
A blend of thriller, satire, and romance with a shocking twist
		 
Romance novelist Maggie Schneider flees snowy Canada for Costa Rica, seeking inspiration … and maybe even a romantic encounter. She finds far more than she expected when she’s kidnapped by a rag-tag gang led by a handsome, charismatic revolutionary called Halcon: the Falcon. Also held hostage for ransom is Halcon’s main target, the flirtatious wife of a right-wing U.S. senator, who seeks to capture the Republican nomination as U.S. president.
		 
Enter burned-out ex–secret agent Slack Cardinal, the protagonist of Deverell’s third novel, Mecca. Now he has changed his name and is hiding out in the Costa Rican jungles, working as a tour guide. But he is found there by CIA operative Ham Bakerfield and reluctantly pressed into service to try to rescue the women.

    Accepting This Vision As Fate Would Be My Ruin. 
    I may be an immortal psychic, but having a vision that the Horseman of Death will rise and claim my soulmate’s life really puts a crimp in my style. I mean, I just got him back. 
    Apollo has to know I’ll do everything in my power to stop it. 
    But no matter what I do, I can’t seem to push my abilities to give me specifics. Each time I try, it’s like my energy is siphoned and it takes me days to get back on my feet. Neat-o. 
    Add on top, we’re trying to keep the Gemini Twins, Colton and Cat, from self-destructing–or worse, getting taken by Sentinel.

    Come hell or high water, I will find a way to hold this group of misfits together–and good luck to anyone who tries to stand in my way.

    Some stories are too dangerous to tell—especially when they’re your own. 
     
    Addison Comstock is a literary icon, known for her bestselling crime novels, razor-sharp tongue, and relentless rise to the top. But behind her polished brand lies a ruthless past filled with secrets, betrayals, and broken lives—including those of the writers she’s employed to ghostwrite her success. 
     
    When her longtime editor collapses and dies during a team retreat in Jamaica, what appears to be a medical emergency soon begins to feel like something far more sinister.

Someone in Addison’s inner circle has decided enough is enough—and they’re using the plot of her next book as the blueprint for revenge. 
     
    As the body count climbs and buried truths resurface, Addison hires a private investigator to infiltrate her own team, desperate to maintain control of her crumbling empire. But with accusations flying and her dirty past threatening to go public, even Addison begins to question who she can trust—and how far she’s willing to go to protect her legacy.

    COP KILLER. 
     
     
     
    That's the accusation scrawled on the home of a dead man, found executed in his own bedroom. That's the tawdry headline thrown around every news channel, every social media feed, every conversation taking over Baltimore. 
     
     
     
    That's the name given to a man who may have been innocent, but never had the chance to prove it—and now Malcolm and Seong-Jae must solve his murder. A death that never should have happened; a death on their watch, when legal technicalities tied their hands. 
     
     
     
    But with the paternity test results hanging over his head, Malcolm grows increasingly erratic, threatening to take his mind from a critical case that could tear Baltimore and the BPD apart. With a dead cop, a dead suspect, and the question of what to do about Juliette and Chrysanthe, there are no easy answers. 
     
     
     
    Only with Seong-Jae can Malcolm keep himself together. 
     
     
     
    And only with Seong-Jae will he find the path he needs to tread. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
