If you had to kill three people to save your best friend's life, would you do it?When John Rain decides to get out of the business, his hand is forced by rogue CIA operative Jim Hilger. Hilger kidnaps Dox, Rain's trusted partner and closest friend, and offers Rain a choice: carry out a final assignment, or bear the responsibility for Dox's murder.For a professional like John Rain, the choice ought to be easy: Do the job-a series of three hits-then walk away. But how does Rain know Jim Hilger won't kill Dox anyway, once the assignment is complete? How does he know that each of the hits isn't simultaneously a setup for Rain himself? And what will he do when he finds out that among the targets of this lethal game of extortion is someone else Rain cares about deeply?From the urban canyons of Silicon Valley and New York to the lush forests of Bali, the boulevards of Paris, and the old killing fields of Vietnam, Rain must grapple with his age, his enemies, and most of all, his conscience in a battle that not even Rain-"the stuff great characters are made of" (Entertainment Weekly)-can hope to survive intact.

Esta conmovedora novela capta lúcidamente el tenso momento histórico de Rusia en las dos semanas previas al fracasado golpe de derecha, de agosto de 1991, entrelazado con los amores y desamores de sus personajes.En una trama minuciosamente urdida recibimos la más vívida imagen de una nación inmersa en los pesares e incertidumbres de la rebelión, junto con la recreación de la vida cotidiana de una ciudad minera rusa con su mundo de policías, burócratas e idealistas en pleno proceso de transición.En ese momento y circunstancias confluyen las vidas de Anton Gzeich, diplomático de los servicios secretos estadounidenses, y de Sergei Propenko, burócrata profesional soviético, ambos a cargo de un programa de ayuda del gobierno de Estados Unidos, para paliar el hambre en esa ciudad tan distante de Moscú, aislada y pobre, donde comparten las angustias de la mediana edad y los vaivenes de sus almas de individuos atrapados en los conflictos entre su carrera y sus ideales.

Liv died when she was just six years old. At least, that’s what the authorities think. Her father knew he alone could keep her safe in this world. So one evening he left the isolated house his little family called home, he pushed their boat out to sea and watched it ruin on the rocks. Then he walked the long way into town to report his only child missing.

But behind the boxes and the baskets crowding her dad’s workshop, Liv was hiding. This way, her dad had said, she’d never have to go to school; this way, she’d never have to leave her parents. This way, Liv would be safe.

Suspenseful and heartbreaking, Resin is the story of what can happen when you love someone too much – when your desire to keep them safe becomes the very thing that puts them in danger.For more information on Ane Riel and her books, see her website at www.aneriel.dk

As he lies, bound and hidden, on the floor of his abductors' SUV, Carroll Monks is only dimly aware of the bizarre series of high-profile murders sweeping across the nation. What he thinks about instead, as they travel for hours deep into the Northern California wilderness, is that the face of one of his abductors belongsto his own son, Glenn – long estranged and living (the last Monksknew) on the streets of Seattle.The vehicle finally stops. When Monks is untied and steps out, he sees he's been brought to a remote off-the-grid community where paramilitary training and methamphetamine make for combustible, uneasy bedfellows – and that Glenn has fallen under the spell of a disenfranchised countercultural sociopath known simply as Freeboot, who claims that a revolution "of the people" is already under way. Monks is appalled by Freeboot's violent histrionics and Manson-like affinity for the hidden messages buried within Lennon and McCartney lyrics, yet acknowledges that he hears echoes of his own feelings when Freeboot speaks about the disintegration of workers' rights, the escalating differential between the haves and the have-nots, and the slap-on-the-wrist "justice" doled out in cases of billion-dollar corporate malfeasance. Could this well-armed madman actually have his finger on the pulse of the underclass?The reason Monks has been abducted, he soon discovers, is Freeboot's own son, a four-year-old boy who is deathly ill – a conundrum for Freeboot, whose distrust of institutional America (hospitals included) borders on the psychotic. Monks, an ER physician, has been brought in to care for the boy, but he can see immediately that the boy's condition is acute and that only immediate hospitalization will save him. When Monks's pleas fall on deaf ears, he fashions a daring escape during a snowstorm, with the young boy slung across his back – and brings the wrath of a madman down on himself and his family, culminating in a diabolically crafted "revolution" – a re-creation of Hitchcock's The Birds, but with human predators, unleashed on the town of Bodega Bay, California.
