Dr Rae Duprae is an obstetrician with more than a passion for her work. Driven by the memory of her own mother's death in the back of an ambulance, she is possessed by an all-consuming mission to save the lives of the women and babies she encounters daily at Berkeley Hills Hospital. But she is suddenly derailed by a series of 'bad baby' cases that seem to be emanating from the politically sensitive birth centre across the street - a centre run by her ex-lover. This threatens the very existence of her department and, it seems, her career. When Rae decides to uncover the truth, she sets off a firestorm of resistance from all sides. And to make matters worse, Rae finds herself falling for the new member of the rival cardiac department - a doctor with uncertain allegiances.

Ex combattente dello Special Air Service (il reparto d'élite dell'esercito britannico), e ora al servizio dell'Intelligence, Nick Stone viene spedito negli USA sulle tracce di un agente che sembra svanito nel nulla: Sarah Greenwood, sospettata di aver tradito il controspionaggio ed essere entrata nell'organizzazione terroristica di Osama Bin Laden. Una volta Nick e Sarah hanno 'lavorato' insieme, e forse, una volta, si sono anche amati. Ora però gli ordini di Nick sono chiari e decisamente minacciosi: trovarla, fare rapporto, attendere ulteriori istruzioni. E sono proprio quelle 'ulteriori istruzioni' cui Nick decide di disobbedire, per trovarsi improvvisamente trasformato da cacciatore in preda. Braccati dai servizi segreti, dagli uomini di Bin Laden, dalla polizia, Nick e Sarah troveranno l'unica via di fuga in un percorso obbligato sino a "Crisi Quattro": il centro di protezione e controllo della Casa Bianca...

Wilton Cooper is at a drive-in movie when he notices the ugly white boy walk into the projection booth. Seconds later a gun goes off, perfectly timed to coincide with the movie?s noisy climax. When the boy struts coolly out, blood sprayed on the front of his cheap print shirt, Cooper knows he?s found his partner. King Suckerman weaves the blaxploitation films, the drug deals, the soul music and the racial tensions that defined the ?70?s into a story of natural-born killers and two men who risk everything to bring them down. This is the second novel in the DC Quartet, the most explosive contribution to crime fiction since Ellroy?s LA Quartet.
