Quando sei il capo della Omicidi di San Francisco, anche una tranquilla domenica di jogging può trasformarsi in un incubo. È quello che accade al tenente Lindsay Boxer, che si trova ad assistere all’esplosione della villa di Morton Lightower, uno spregiudicato imprenditore. Gettandosi tra le fiamme, Lindsay riesce a salvare il figlio di Lightower, ma tra le macerie rimangono tre cadaveri. Disgrazia o attentato? Sulla scena del delitto inoltre non c’è traccia né della figlia minore dell’imprenditore, né della baby-sitter che si occupava di lei. Mentre Lindsay indaga in questa direzione, un altro omicidio sconvolge l’opinione pubblica: questa volta la vittima è il presidente di una compagnia di assicurazioni, e l’assassino è ancora August Spies… Ancora una volta il tenente Boxer dovrà ricorrere all’aiuto delle sue inseparabili amiche, che con lei formano le «donne del club omicidi»: Jill Bernhardt, sostituto procuratore, Claire Washburn, medico legale e Cindy Thomas, giornalista. La partita contro il killer è aperta…

1944. Physics professor Alfred Mendl is separated from his family and sent to the men’s camp, where all of his belongings are tossed on a roaring fire. His books, his papers, his life’s work. The Nazis have no idea what they have just destroyed. And without that physical record, Alfred is one of only two people in the world with his particular knowledge. Knowledge that could start a war, or end it. Nathan Blum works behind a desk at an intelligence office in Washington, DC, but he longs to contribute to the war effort in a more meaningful way, and he has a particular skill set the U.S. suddenly needs. Nathan is fluent in German and Polish, he is Semitic looking, and he proved his scrappiness at a young age when he escaped from the Polish ghetto. Now, the government wants him to take on the most dangerous assignment of his life: Nathan must sneak into Auschwitz, on a mission to find and escape with one man. This historical thriller from New York Times bestseller Andrew Gross is a deeply affecting, unputdownable series of twists and turns through a landscape at times horrifyingly familiar but still completely compelling.

When a little girl is shot on the steps of a San Francisco church, Detective Lindsay Boxer reconvenes the Women's Murder Club. Working with reporter Cindy Thomas, assistant DA Jill Bernhardt, and medical examiner Claire Washburn, Lindsay tracks a mystifying killer who quickly turns his pursuers into victims. The unorthodox allegiances of the Women's Murder Club lead them to suspect the unexpected - the killer may be an ex-cop. But nothing prepares them for the demented logic behind his choice of victims.

"Kurt Nordstrum, an engineer in Oslo, puts his life aside to take up arms against the Germans as part of the Norwegian resistance. After the loss of his fiancée, his outfit whittled to shreds, he commandeers a coastal steamer and escapes to England to transmit secret evidence of the Nazis's progress towards an atomic bomb at an isolated factory in Norway. There, he joins a team of dedicated Norwegians in training in the Scottish Highlands for a mission to disrupt the Nazis' plans before they advance any further. Parachuted onto the most unforgiving terrain in Europe, braving the fiercest of mountain storms, Nordstrum and his team attempt the most daring raid of the war, targeting the heavily-guarded factory built on a shelf of rock thought to be impregnable, a mission even they know they likely will not survive. Months later, Nordstrum is called upon again to do the impossible, opposed by both elite Nazi soldiers and a long-standing enemy who is now a local collaborator--one man against overwhelming odds, with the fate of the war in the balance, but the choice to act means putting the one person he has a chance to love in peril."--Publisher
