Il ladro. Non aveva mai visto tanta ferocia. Ma non poteva muoversi, non poteva intervenire. Era invitato d'onore allo spettacolo della Vita Che Se Ne Va. Il presidente. La sua risata era inconfondibile. La risata degli uomini che non pagano per i propri errori. Il capo dello staff. "L'uomo che riesce a ingannare chi lo comanda dovrà affrontare i mostri che ha creato." Ma Gloria Russell non conosceva questo proverbio. La guardia del corpo. Era come un film già visto. Era come se già sapesse la fine. Quella folle esibizione del potere assoluto.

Per molti anni, Atlee Pine è stata tormentata dall'incertezza dopo che sua sorella gemella, Mercy, è stata rapita all'età di sei anni e non è mai più stata vista. Proprio quando Atlee è sotto pressione per chiudere le indagini sulla scomparsa di Mercy, ottiene finalmente una svolta promettente: l'identità del rapitore, Ito Vincenzo. Con il tempo che scorre, Atlee e la sua assistente Carol Blum si precipitano nell'ultima posizione nota di Vincenzo a Trenton, nel New Jersey, e si imbattono involontariamente nel caso di Puller, compromettendo il suo arresto durante un'indagine su un giro di droga che coinvolge un'installazione militare. La loro indagine congiunta rivela una connessione tra la famiglia di Vincenzo e un piano straordinario che colpisce il cuore della democrazia globale. Scoprendo strati di inganni e coperture, Atlee finalmente scopre la verità su ciò che è accaduto a Mercy, una verità che la sconvolgerà profondamente.

Le loro strade si incroceranno con quelle del Camel Club, un gruppo di Washington, quattro amici che si incontrano una volta alla settimana per coltivare il loro hobby: discutere di complotti politici e teorie cospirative. L'improbabile gruppo si sta lambiccando sulla morte, avvenuta in circostanze misteriose, di Jonathan DeHaven, direttore della divisione Libri Rari della Biblioteca del Congresso, dove lavora uno dei membri del Camel Club. Nessuno di loro, però, può riuscire a immaginarsi che qui, in questo luogo a due passi dalla sede del potere a Washington, si stia dipanando una trama sempre più complessa nella quale interessi nazionali, malavita e corruzione politica sì sovrappongono fino all'imprevedibile finale, che appare non molto distante da una possibile realtà.

John Puller non è semplicemente un agente speciale dell’Esercito degli Stati Uniti, ma la punta di diamante della Criminal Investigation Division, l’uomo a cui ci si affida per risolvere i crimini più complessi ed enigmatici. Questa volta, però, Puller è alle prese con un caso anomalo, dai delicati risvolti personali... Il cadavere di sua zia è stato rinvenuto a Paradise, una tranquilla cittadina della Florida, considerata un vero e proprio paradiso in terra dai numerosi turisti che ne affollano le incantevoli spiagge. Mentre la polizia locale è fermamente convinta che si tratti di uno sfortunato e tragico incidente, il ritrovamento di una lettera dal contenuto misterioso, scritta dalla donna poco prima di morire, rimette le carte in tavola e induce Puller a indagare sulla vicenda. Quello che l’agente speciale scoprirà gli infonderà il sospetto che la morte della zia non sia affatto casuale e che le bellezze naturali di Paradise nascondano una fitta rete di cospirazioni e depistaggi che, se portati a galla, potrebbero condurre a una sconvolgente verità... Il maestro mondiale del thriller è tornato con un romanzo incalzante che si preannuncia essere il migliore dell’anno!

Finché, Michelle Maxwell, un altro agente segreto si mette nei guai: il candidato presidenziale a lei affidato, John Bruno, le è stato rapito. E gli eventi criminosi legati ai candidati sembrano legati da un misterioso filo. Saranno Sean e Michelle a sistemare a poco a poco le tessere di un macabro puzzle approntato da una mente astuta quanto perversa e spietata.

Per vedere quanto l'uomo può essere cattivo e quali cose è pronto a fare perché i suoi segreti rimangano tali.

E' il sogno più grande, è il sogno che realizzato sconvolge una vita: un biglietto vincente della lotteria federale americana. Ma chi sogna così in grande deve avere le spalle larghe. Deve sapere che insieme ai 10 milioni di dollari arriverà anche lo ari arriverà anche lo sciame delle furie, degli assassini.

Ora, è chiamato a risolvere un caso in una zona remota della Virginia, lontana da qualsiasi avamposto militare. Qualcuno ha ucciso brutalmente un colonnello della Difesa insieme a tutta la sua famiglia.

Quando il poliziotto messo a guardia della scena del crimine viene trovato morto nel seminterrato della casa, il mistero si infittisce.

It's the eve of 1953, and Aloysius Archer is in Los Angeles to ring in the New Year with an old friend, aspiring actress Liberty Callahan, when their evening is interrupted by an acquaintance of Callahan's: Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter in dire straits. After a series of increasingly chilling events--mysterious phone calls, the same blue car loitering outside her house, and a bloody knife left in her sink--Eleanor fears that her life is in danger, and she wants to hire Archer to look into the matter. Archer suspects that Eleanor knows more than she's saying, but before he can officially take on her case, a dead body turns up inside of Eleanor's home and Eleanor herself disappears. Missing client or not, Archer is dead set on finding both the murderer and Eleanor. With the help of Callahan and his partner Willie Dash, he launches an investigation that will take him from mob-ridden Las Vegas to the glamorous world of Hollywood to the darkest corners of Los Angeles--a city in which beautiful faces are attached to cutthroat schemers, where the cops can be more corrupt than the criminals and where the powerful people responsible for his client's disappearance will kill without a moment's hesitation if they catch Archer on their trail
