Dopo anni di minacce internazionali, il presidente Jack Ryan si trova ad affrontare un pericolo dall'interno. La storia inizia con il comandante della Marina degli Stati Uniti, Scott Hagan, che, mentre è in congedo a Princeton, nel New Jersey, viene attaccato in un ristorante. Sebbene venga colpito, riesce a difendersi dal suo aggressore, un russo che cerca vendetta per la morte del fratello causata dalla nave di Hagan. L'aggressore muore prima di rivelare come ha rintracciato Hagan. Nel frattempo, un uomo d'affari canadese all'aeroporto Imam Khomeini di Teheran è in realtà un agente della CIA. Dopo un normale controllo delle impronte digitali, viene arrestato, rivelando di essere un obiettivo delle autorità iraniane. Con il verificarsi di ulteriori incidenti che coinvolgono personale militare e di intelligence americano in tutto il mondo, diventa evidente che si è verificata una grave violazione delle informazioni, consentendo ai nemici dell'America di sfruttare dati rubati. Con le agenzie di intelligence statunitensi potenzialmente compromesse, John Clark e The Campus devono rintracciare la fuga di notizie. La loro indagine rivela una minaccia profonda che si infiltra nella nazione, con un conto alla rovescia che può essere fermato solo da un uomo: il presidente Jack Ryan.

Van de #1 New York Times-bestsellerauteur komt een meeslepende psychologische thriller waarin twee vrouwen—een voormalige detective en een gevaarlijke oplichter—het tegen elkaar opnemen in een electriserend kat-en-muis spel. Mickey Gibson, alleenstaande moeder en voormalige detective, leidt een hectisch leven waarin ze de eisen van haar twee kleine kinderen combineert met haar werk voor ProEye, een wereldwijd onderzoeksbedrijf dat rijke belasting- en kredietfraudeurs opspoort. Wanneer Mickey een telefoontje krijgt van een collega met een ongebruikelijk verzoek om de leegstaande woning van een wapenhandelaar te inventariseren, denkt ze er niet veel van. Tot ze bij het landhuis aankomt en een lijk in een geheime kamer ontdekt—en dat niets is zoals het lijkt. De wapenhandelaar blijkt niet te bestaan en het slachtoffer is Harry Lancaster, een man met banden met de maffia die ooit in het getuigenbeschermingsprogramma zat. Bovendien werkt er niemand met de naam Arlene Robinson bij ProEye. In een oogwenk is Gibson de belangrijkste verdachte in een moordonderzoek—en nu staat ook haar baan op het spel totdat ze bewijst dat ze in de val is gelokt. Al snel is Gibson verwikkeld in een strijd van verstand met een briljante vrouw zonder naam, een verborgen verleden en onbekende motieven—wiens einddoel net zo mysterieus als dodelijk is.

When a convicted killer is saved by another man's confession, Amos Decker, now an FBI special task force detective, must find the truth in this "utterly absorbing" #1 New York Times bestseller (Associated Press). Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution--for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier--when he's granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars's case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men's families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars--guilty or not--a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now? But when a member of Decker's team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger--and more sinister--than just one convicted criminal's life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.

By his 18th birthday David Millar was living and racing in France, sleeping in rented rooms, tipped to be the next English-speaking Tour winner. A year later he'd realised the dream and signed a professional contract with the Cofidis team, who had one Lance Armstrong on their books. He perhaps lived the high life a little too enthusiastically -- high on a roof after too much drink , he broke his heel in a fall, and before long the pressure to succeed had tipped over into doping. Here, in a full and frank autobiography, David Millar recounts the story from the inside: he doped because 'cycling's drug culture was like white noise', and because of peer pressure. 'I doped for money and glory in order to guarantee the continuation of my status.' Five years on from his arrest, Millar is clean and reflective, and holds nothing back in this account of his dark years.

Le forze contro di lui hanno armi, elicotteri, eserciti privati e una popolazione terrorizzata sotto il loro controllo. Nick Stone ha due decenni di abilità operative che potrebbero non essere più negabili e un forte desiderio di proteggere una donna e un bambino che ora significano più per lui della vita stessa.

#1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci introduces a remarkable new character: Atlee Pine, an FBI special agent assigned to the remote wilds of the western United States. Ever since her twin sister was abducted by a notorious serial killer at age five, Atlee has spent her life hunting down those who hurt others. And she's the best at it.

Her chosen mission is a lonesome one--but that suits her just fine. Now, Atlee is called in to investigate the mutilated carcass of a mule found in the Grand Canyon--and hopefully, solve the disappearance of its rider. But this isn't the only recent disappearance. In fact, it may be just the first clue, the key to unraveling a rash of other similar missing persons cases in the canyon....

After a young trooper is shot in the head at the Regiment's Killing House, Stone, just back from Moscow and grappling with the safety of his girlfriend and baby son, is well-positioned to investigate the incident.
