Внезапное отключение электричества во всем Берлине в самый ответственный момент решающего футбольного матча в считаные часы приводит к транспортному, продовольственному и социальному коллапсу. Эта диверсия дает начало серии масштабных терактов, организованных группой хакеров-луддитов, предупреждающих об опасной зависимости человечества от технологий. Айзенберг и его группа помогают уголовной полиции с расследованием, но со временем одного из сотрудников Айзенберга начинают подозревать в причастности к диверсиям.

Even Cat Sitters Get The Blues (A Dixie Hemingway Mystery[3])
Клемент Блейз

Dixie has a knack for being in

the wrong place at the wrong

time. The day she happens upon

the dead body outside a fancy

mansion is no different. She's

had her fill of homicide investigations, so she leaves the

gate-keeper's corpse to be

found by somebody else.

Unfortunately, that somebody

else sees Dixie leaving the scene

of the crime, and the fatal bullet might have even come from her

own gun! To make matters

worse, the owner of the

mansion is Dixie's new client--a

scientist who is either a genius,

insane, or both--whose pet iguana is under her charge. All

that, plus a feisty calico kitten

that needs some TLC, means

that time is running out for

Dixie to cat nip this case in the

bud... and collar the killer.

New York’s a tough town. Hard to impress. Shrugs off hype, casts a cold eye on glitz. But once in a blue moon a killer with street smarts and a sense of theater will reach out and take the city by the throat. Maybe he’ll write letters to a popular tabloid columnist, proclaiming himself the answer to a failed criminal justice system. Maybe he’ll point a finger at the kind of villain the law can’t touch. A child killer who got off on a technicality, say. A top mobster with decades of blood on his hands. A rabble-rouser who incites others to murder. Maybe he’ll sign himself “Will,” as in “The Will of the People.” Then suppose he takes aim at a respectable lawyer, a defense attorney with a roster of unpopular clients. Suppose the lawyer’s a friend of Matt Scudder. Scudder is New York to the bone. He’s as tough as the big town itself, as hard to impress. And now he’s up against the self-styled Will of the People in a city with eight million ways to die, a city where not just the good guys but even the wicked get worse than they deserve.

When friend of the family and multi-billionaire Roger Ferris comes to Joe with an assignment, he’s got no choice but to accept, even if the case is a tough one to stomach. White nationalist Alfred Xavier Quiller has been accused of murder and the sale of sensitive information to the Russians. Ferris has reason to believe Quiller’s been set up and he needs King to see if the charges hold.

This linear assignment becomes a winding quest to uncover the extent of Quiller’s dealings, to understand Ferris’ skin in the game, and to get to the bottom of who is working for whom. Even with the help of bodyguard and mercenary Oliya Ruez — no regular girl Friday — the machine King’s up against proves relentless and unsparing. As King gets closer to exposing the truth, he and his loved ones barrel towards grave danger.

Mosley once again proves himself a "master of craft and narrative" (National Book Foundation) in this carefully plotted mystery that is at once a classic caper, a family saga and an examination of fealty, pride and how deep debt can go.
