Any thriller writer, wannabe or actual, would do well to study Patterson's 10th Alex Cross novel. A sequel to last year's The Big Bad Wolf, the book is a model of economy, delivering a full package of suspense, emotion and characterization in a minimum number of words. The story brings back not only Big Bad Wolf's arch-villain, the Russian mobster known as the Wolf, but also an earlier Patterson bad guy, the Weasel, recruited by the Wolf to further his plans. These involve extorting Western powers for billions of dollars to avoid major terrorist attacks on New York, London, Washington and Frankfurt-attacks the Wolf offers a preview of by wiping out a town in Nevada by aerial bombardment after hustling its citizens to safety, then by doing the same to a village in England without evacuating the populace. The novel features numerous exciting scenes, most notably one in which Cross is kidnapped, then shackled to a suitcase atomic bomb. It's not the steady tension, the numerous colorful locales, the reliable action climaxes nor the novel's effective doomsday gloss that makes this thriller work so well, though. It is, of course, the characters, and in Cross, Patterson continues to elaborate his finest hero, cerebral yet emotional, dedicated yet flawed, caught between duty and family. Regrettably, the novel is marred in its final chapters by a series of surprises that skirt playing unfair with the reader, but most Patterson fans probably won't mind and they are legion enough to send this to the top of the charts, for good reason.

The conclusion to the trilogy. Bernard has got Erich Stinnes back from Mexico – now he has to get him to talk.

This is an entirely riveting crime novel that travels from the Russian criminal underworld of London to Russian Brooklyn and Russia itself. "Londongrad" opens on the fringes of New York, where Brooklyn abuts on Queens and where planes heading for JFK fly in low over the Jamaica wetlands. Russian-American PI Artie Cohen finds a dead girl wrapped from head to toe in silver duct tape – 'Mummy Girl', she is dubbed by the newspapers. Along with his new sidekick, Bobo Leven, a twenty-eight-year-old detective who still lives with his Russian parents in Brighton Beach, Artie hunts for the killer, a hunt which leads him to London – or 'Londongrad'. Londongrad is emigre home to a quarter of a million Russians – the oligarchs, City traders, restaurateurs, asylum seekers, the rich and not so rich, who create a Little Russia in the heart of Britain's capital. Here, a new Cold War is played out against a setting of huge country houses, and lavish London apartments, in restaurants and Orthodox churches and bars. In Londongrad, oligarchs employ squads of former SAS men as bodyguards, buy football clubs, and – perhaps – plot the overthrow of President Putin.

Newspaper writer, family man, and reluctant hero Zack Walker has stumbled onto some dicey stories before, but nothing like what he’s about to uncover when a mutilated corpse is found at his father’s lakeside fishing camp. As always, Zack fears the worst. And this time, his paranoid worldview is dead-on.

While the locals attribute the death to a bear attack, Zack suspects something far more ominous — a predator whose weapons include arson, assault, and enough wacko beliefs to fuel a dozen hate groups. Then another body is discovered and a large supply of fertilizer goes missing, evoking memories of the Oklahoma City bombing. But it’s when he learns that his neighbor is a classic Lone Wolf — FBI parlance for a solo fanatic hell-bent on using high body counts to make political statements — that Zack realizes the idyllic town of his childhood is under siege. The fuse is lit to a catastrophe of unimaginable terror. And with time running out, Zack must face off with a madman.

Like Robert Ludlum, Morrell began his bestselling career with short, tough action yarns (First Blood; Testament), then moved into very long, very complex conspiracy thrillers (The Brotherhood of the Rose). This modestly exciting thriller is a return to his old laconic style, but what's missing is the original plotting that has marked so much of Morrell's fiction. The novel does boast a first-rate setup: narrator Brad Denning is on top of the world, with a great career as an architect, a wonderful wife, Kate, and son, Jason, 11 never mind the trauma that scarred his youth, when his 11-year-old younger brother, Petey, was kidnapped, never to be found. Now a "rough-looking" man shows up outside Brad's Denver office, claiming to be the long-lost Petey. Brad takes Petey, who's apparently become a hard-knock drifter, into his home. Days later, Petey pushes Brad off a cliff, leaving him for dead. Battered Brad claws his way home to find Petey gone, along with the presumably kidnapped Kate and Jason. The remainder of the novel details Brad's cross-country attempt to track them down. Morrell tosses in a major complication when it appears that Petey may not be Petey after all, but few readers will be surprised by the novel's conclusion. Along the way, there are several strong action sequences, particularly one in which Brad gets trapped in a dark, snake-infested cellar, but Morrell has written this sort of pitch-black action scene before. The novel is slick, but there's little in it that's unexpected.

Myron is summoned to Paris at the behest of an old lover, Therese. She is in unspecified trouble and needs his help. When he gets there, he discovers that her ex-husband has been murdered and she is the main suspect. The interesting thing is that more than one blood-type has been discovered at the scene – and the other blood can only be attributed to the dead man's daughter. But she died 10 years before. So far, so Harlan. But there is a twist on his usual twists! Did the daughter really die? Did Therese's husband have a further child with someone else? All those are covered, but when the truth is actually revealed we suddenly reach a stunning new level, on par with Robert Ludlum.

‘Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...’

It is thirty years since FBI special agent Atlee Pine’s twin sister, Mercy, was taken from the room they shared as young children. Notorious serial killer Daniel James Tor, was caught and convicted of other murders, and while there’s no proof, Atlee believes he knows what happened to Mercy. Tor still resides in a high-security prison in Colorado.

Assigned to the remote wilds of the western United States, Atlee has never stopped the search for her sister, and, wracked with survivor’s guilt, she has spent her life hunting down those who hurt others. She will always ask herself, ‘Why her, and not me?’.

Now, Atlee is called in to investigate a case in the Grand Canyon when a mule is found dead with strange carvings on its body, and its rider missing. She knows about killers and perhaps understands them better than any profiler in the FBI, but it soon becomes clear that she will need to put her skills to the ultimate test in this investigation.

It seems that Atlee will now have to confront a new monster.

And face the one of her nightmares.

When Amos Decker is called to South Florida to investigate a double homicide, the case appears straightforward: A federal judge and her bodyguard have been found dead, the judge’s face sporting a blindfold with two eye holes crudely cut out, a clear sign that she’d made one too many enemies over her years on the bench.

What at first seems cut and dry is anything but: Not only did the judge have more enemies than Decker can count — from violent gang members, drug dealers, and smugglers to a resentful ex-husband — but the bodyguard presents additional conundrums that muddy the waters even further. Who was the real target in this vicious attack?

Meanwhile, Decker must contend with a series of unsettling changes, including a new partner — Special Agent Frederica “Freddie” White — and a devastating event that brings Decker’s own tragic past back to the present... and forces him to reckon with his future. As potential witnesses start disappearing, Decker and White are inexorably pulled down a twisted tunnel of secrets, crimes, and scandal — at the end of which lies Decker’s deadliest threat yet.

Nueva York. Will Monroe es un joven periodista novato educado en Inglaterra y felizmente casado que decide mudarse a Estados Unidos donde vive su padre, un prestigioso juez. Empieza a destacar en el New York Times cuando se publica su primer artículo sobre el extraño asesinato de un chulo de burdel. Una historia interesante: aparentemente tras la fachada de hombre oscuro se escondía un hombre que había hecho el bien y su cadáver tratado con respeto. Sin embargo este es el primero de una serie de asesinatos en distintos lugares del mundo con extrañas similitudes y Will se ha puesto sobre la pista. De pronto recibe un e-mail que le avisa del rapto de su mujer y lo chantajean para abandonar la investigación y no acudir a la policía. Will acude a su padre, que le da su apoyo moral, y a un amigo experto programador para que rastree el mail anónimo. Esta pista le lleva al corazón de barrio hasídico, judío ultraortodoxo de Brooklyn, donde descubre que su mujer ha sido retenida para su protección pues está ligada a una profecía antigua de la cábala sobre la existencia de 36 hombres justos en el mundo cuya muerte provocaría el fin del mundo. Le piden 4 días y luego se la devolverán. Will empieza a recibir ahora mensajes cifrados en su móvil que le animan a seguir investigando: claves bíblicas. Acude entonces a su amiga y ex novia judía, experta en textos bíblicos, para que le ayude a descifrar el enigma. Los asesinatos se siguen sucediendo en el resto del mundo, siempre hombres de bien escondidos tras una fachada distinta ante el mundo, y Will pista tras pista, enigma tras enigma, descubre que existe una gran conspiración de un grupo fundamentalista cristiano para provocar el fin del mundo. Poco a poco los hombres justos según la cábala judía están siendo asesinados, y Will se involucra en una carrera contrarreloj para evitar sus muertes y tal vez la de su propia esposa en peligro…y tal vez el fin del mundo.

Richard Hannay no lograba cogerle el pulso a la metrópolis; a su vuelta de una larga estancia en las colonias, Londres le aburría mortalmente. Quizá por eso prestó atención al extraño individuo que le abordó en las escaleras de su casa pidiéndole asilo. Cuando su confusa historia de atentados políticos y de conspiraciones balcánicas empezaba a adquirir perfiles escalofriantes, la muerte interrumpió sus revelaciones. Pero ahora el inocente Hannay se había convertido en único depositario de un secreto que acarreaba la muerte. Tanto Scotland Yard como los agentes del servicio secreto alemán estaban sobre su pista…

Buchan, que fue jefe del departamento inglés de Información durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, supo mezclar sabiamente la invención y la intriga con el conocimiento real y directo de temas de espionaje. Su sentido de la atmósfera y de la escenificación, sus ingeniosas historias y su habilidad para la intriga le convierten en un antecesor directo de autores como Graham Greene y John le Carré.
