Synopsis

In a near-future America torn apart by political polarization, "The Algerian" follows Jack Kolesaar, an ordinary man who becomes an extraordinary killer. Disillusioned with the direction of his country and convinced that voting can't fix what's broken, Jack has joined a shadowy organization known as "The Movement" that draws inspiration from the Algerian independence fighters who drove out French colonists through brutal guerrilla warfare.
 
Operating as a lone wolf assassin, Jack methodically eliminates those he sees as enemies of traditional American values—from drag queens to progressive pastors. His clinical approach to killing contrasts sharply with his artistic sensibilities and philosophical musings about beauty, civilization, and decay. When he meets Stefanie, a waypoint woman who assists Movement operatives, and later Tina, a church administrator eager to eliminate her progressive pastor, Jack finds himself navigating unfamiliar emotional territory while continuing his lethal mission.
 
Under the spiritual guidance of Father Conrad, a Catholic priest with revolutionary leanings, Jack's campaign of targeted violence expands. As bodies pile up and authorities close in, Jack must decide how far he's willing to go and what personal connections he can maintain in a life dedicated to destruction in service of rebirth.
 
Unflinching and provocative, "The Algerian" offers a disturbing glimpse into the mind of a man who believes himself a patriot while committing acts of terrorism. If you enjoyed "American War," "Vigilante," and "The Turner Diaries," you'll love "The Algerian."

    A drunken man is shot dead on his doorstep in this classic mystery starring the "observant [and] appealing" seventy-year-old sleuth (Publishers Weekly). 
     
     
      
    Walking home wearily from an evening spent poring over the books of the Parchly Heights Methodist Ladies' Aid searching for a fifty-eight-cent error, Miss Jennifer Murdock becomes witness to a terrible scene: A man, stumbling drunk, arrives home—and just as he fumbles with his keys, gunfire erupts and kills him on the spot. 
     
     
      
    Jennifer is determined not to tell her sister, Rachel, anything about it. After all, Rachel considers herself a sleuth, or as Jennifer views it, a busybody who pokes her nose in places it doesn't belong. What she doesn't know is Rachel has just had a visit from a member of that same household, a meek eighteen-year-old taken in after she was orphaned and treated like a servant. Young Shirley has been alarmed by a series of nasty pranks—and now she's heartbroken, and even more frightened, after finding her pet bird dead. There's something awful going on in the house on Chestnut Street, and neither her prim and proper sister nor Det. Lt. Stephen Mayhew can stop Rachel from finding out what it is . . .

    Twenty crime stories by the creator of Jack Reacher, never before collected 
     
     
     
    For the past twenty years, Lee Child has been one of the bestselling authors in the world, thanks to the popularity of his iconic and instantly recognizable hero Jack Reacher. But even at the height of Reacher's fame, Child's short story writing was not confined to the series; throughout the course of his career, he published tales about a range of characters on both sides of the law, including assassins, a body guard, CIA and FBI agents, gangsters, and more. Meticulously plotted and packed with Child's trademark action and suspense, this collection shows the author's mastery of the short form. 
     
     
     
    In "Ten Keys," a drug-dealing hit man feels that he must unburden his fears and guilt to a stranger. A rookie cop in "Normal in Every Way" is assigned to the department's file room, where he makes connections to historic dates that could lead to solving crimes. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he's outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection. A potential worker for the Manhattan Project is carefully surveilled by an FBI agent. A killer preys on other killers. Taken together, these stories are a riotous calamity of criminals and crime fighters; individually, they are expertly crafted, piercing tales that hit hard enough to leave a mark.
