The 11th adventure of Santa Teresa, Calif., PI Kinsey Milhone has a dark tone-due in great part to Kinsey's working this case mostly at night. Kinsey agrees to look into the 10-month-old death of Lorna Kepler, a young woman whose decomposed body was discovered in her cabin so long after death that it was impossible to determine the cause. Kinsey's client, Lorna's mother, who works the night shift in a 24-hour diner, suspects murder. So does Kinsey, especially after investigating Lorna's effects and her considerable assets, some unaccounted-for. An anonymously delivered pornographic tape adds to the emerging portrait of the dead woman as an intriguingly self-sufficient, ambitious woman of the evening. In nighttime forays, Kinsey talks to an all-night deejay whom Lorna often visited at his studio; she meets-and befriends-a prostitute who occasionally teamed up with Lorna to party with clients. She also investigates the victim's day job as a part-time receptionist for the water district, where a high-stakes development project is currently raising tempers. A host of suspects includes a porn filmmaker in San Francisco, members of Lorna's family, her landlord, the water district employees and even a smooth-dressing cop, whom Kinsey talks to at night. But lack of sleep dulls Kinsey's perceptions and it takes two more deaths and the surprise appearance of a deus ex limousine to lead her to a solution. Even sleep-deprived, Kinsey shows spunk and appeal, but she is not at her sharpest here. 600,000 first printing; author tour.

Quand le Soleil Levant devient un Soleil noir,

Quand le passé devient aussi tranchant qu’une lame nue,

Quand le Japon n’est plus un souvenir mais un cauchemar,

Alors, l’heure du kaïken a sonné.

Do wybrzeży Stanów Zjednoczonych zbliża się statek z nielegalnymi chińskimi imigrantami na pokładzie.

Przemytem tych ludzi kieruje nieuchwytny Kwang Ang, poszukiwany przez policję wielu krajów. Okręt tonie niedaleko brzegu, ale części imigrantów udaje się dotrzeć do lądu. Kwang Ang znika w Nowym Jorku, a Lincoln Rhyme zostaje poproszony o pomoc w poszukiwaniach przestępcy, który nie zawaha się przed zgładzeniem każdego, kto mógłby go zidentyfikować. Wszystkim ocalałym z katastrofy Chińczykom grozi śmierć. Rhyme musi ująć mordercę, zanim ten do nich dotrze.

Agentka FBI, Rachel Walling, dostaje w końcu wiadomość, której obawiała się przez lata – dowiaduje się, że Poeta powrócił. Wiele lat temu pracowała nad tą słynną sprawą, ścigając seryjnego mordercę wplatającego w swe ohydne zbrodnie fragmenty wierszy. Rachel nigdy nie zapomniała Roberta Backusa, zabójcy, który nazywał siebie Poetą – i najwidoczniej on również jej nie zapomniał.

U Harry'ego Boscha również dzwoni telefon. Emerytowany detektyw z policji Los Angeles dowiaduje się od żony dawnego przyjaciela o jego śmierci. Jej przyczyna wydaje się naturalna, lecz przyjaciel miał związek ze sprawą Poety – Harry rozpoczyna więc dogłębne poszukiwania – i wplątuje się przez to w niesamowitą, przerażającą aferę.

Właśnie tak rozpoczyna się najbardziej wciągająca, przejmująca i mistrzowsko napisana ze wszystkich powieści Michaela Connelly'ego. W „Kanale” Harry Bosch sprzymierza się z Rachel Walling, przeciwko FBI; razem podążają tropem najbardziej okrutnego i inteligentnego z morderców jakiego widziało Los Angeles. W pełnym napięcia, ekscytującym pościgu za rozwiązaniem zagadki, Harry Bosch trafia w surowy krajobraz pustyni Mojave, na pełen blasku bulwar Las Vegas, w mroczne zakamarki Los Angeles. Jednocześnie musi odnaleźć się w swej nowej roli, jako ojciec kilkuletniej córki, pogodzić największą miłość swego życia z poczuciem obowiązku i swą głęboką świadomością istnienia zła. Ta niezwykle dramatyczna i wstrząsająca powieść sprawi, że czytelnicy Michaela Connelly'ego z niecierpliwością czekać będą na następny utwór tego jednego z najlepszych amerykańskich pisarzy.

Historia prawdziwie przerażająca, w stylu Thomasa Harrisa, a to wielka pochwała. – Stephen King

W Edynburgu zaginęła studentka… Tyle że nie jakaś tam, a córka niezwykle zamożnego i wielce wpływowego bankiera. Brak wszelkich śladów, a detektyw inspektor John Rebus nabiera przeświadczenia, iż chodzi tu o coś więcej niźli tylko wyskok zbuntowanej smarkuli, której do głowy uderzyły pieniądze tatusia i nie tylko. Pojawiają się dwa tropy: drewniana laleczka w piętnastocentymetrowej trumience, którą ktoś podrzucił nad brzegiem strumienia i interaktywna gra internetowa, którą zarządza tajemniczy cybernetyczny guru. Dramatyczne zdarzenia i zawzięty upór detektywa, który woli słuchać starych longplayów niż plików MP3 powodują, że historia i współczesność zaczynają się z sobą mieszać i wzajemnie przenikać.

The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Nina Reilly series returns with a bold and gripping new work, a masterful stand-alone that will delight devoted fans – and garner legions of new ones. This haunting and original tale of love, obsession, and the secrets that we keep – especially from ourselves – begins with a sudden, inexplicable vanishing.

For ambitious, troubled architect Ray Jackson, the questions start one sultry California summer night when his wife, Leigh, disappears. No phone call, no ransom note, no body to reveal whether she has left of her own accord and is alive, or is dead. Although it's clear they had a passionate, close relationship, Ray Jackson is not looking for his wife. Why?

Enter Kathleen, old friend of Leigh's, who shows up demanding answers. Ray wants answers, too, but his questions seem strange and shady to Kat.

Suspected by his wife's best friend and the police, Ray launches a desperate, alarming search of his own. Using a collection of keys he has hoarded since he was a boy – keys to homes he once lived in – Ray invades each house, one by one.

Will he unlock secrets from his past that will help him make sense of a life that appears to be disintegrating? Or will he expose chilling secrets that may have scarred him past redemption?

Kat can't figure him out. Still, hoping to find answers to her own gnawing, emotional questions, she throws in her lot with him, at times terrified he killed her friend, and at other times convinced he's an innocent man.

Past and present collide as the deceits and subterfuges are exposed, and Ray Jackson is confronted with the most agonizing decision of his life – to face his own violence-laden past, acting to prevent another murder – or not. His choice will leave nothing and no one the same.

After inheriting a farm on New Zealand’s South Island, Lewis Harding tries his best to keep it running. The financially strapped farmer is forced to forage his new land for implements, eliciting the help of his son, Gary. But when they go too close to the entrance of an old deserted gold mine, catastrophe strikes in more ways then one. When Gary’s older brother, Dr. Cecil Harding shows up at the farm, Nekenhalle, he discovers that his brother and father had gone missing.

A spate of livestock mutilations plague the local area, forcing Dr. Harding, a veterinarian, to call in the help of the Australian Wilderness Society. Ironically, this coincides with their current investigation of culling by poison, because, according to Harding, the New Zealand livestock are dying of snakebites. Knowing that New Zealand does not have snakes, the Wilderness Society obtains the help of Scottish explorer, David Purdue, during a legal debate.

Purdue and his associates, journalist Sam Cleave and historian Dr. Nina Gould, accompany the Wildlife Society under the pretense of making a documentary, while actually seeking the location of the Lost City. Similar poisonings in the remains of Nazi soldiers prompted Purdue’s pursuit into the Lost City’s secret, but Nekenhalle has a reputation for evil.

Inside the bowels of the farm, the expedition party finds the source of the killings, but at the same time, they venture into a forbidden place they do not know the way out from…

When Irene Kelly's articles profiling missing children run in the Las Piernas Express, she anticipates the renewed public interest and the deluge of phone tips and remembered clues; she even anticipates the renewed pain of the anguished parents. What she doesn't expect is that the articles will set off a murderous chain reaction – and put her life in peril.

Perhaps one of the more tragic disappearances in recent Las Piernas history was that of Jenny Fletcher, just shy of her fourth birthday. The body of Jenny's father, Richard, a graphic artist, was found bludgeoned in his studio; hours later Jenny's stepbrother Mason was apprehended with the murder weapon and bloody clothing in his car. But little Jenny was never found. As the years pass, everyone assumes Jenny is dead. Everyone except her brother Caleb, who not only believes Jenny survived but steadfastly believes in Mason's innocence.

Caleb, now a graduate student studying with forensic anthropologist Ben Sheridan, works on cases for the Las Piernas Police Department. When bones are discovered at the old Sheffield estate just days after the missing-children articles appear, Caleb finds himself drawn into a case that threatens to bring personal tragedies back to the present. He has a fierce ally in reporter Irene Kelly, who will stop at nothing to solve the mysteries of his father's murder and his sister's disappearance.

With each hour that passes, the chance of finding the children alive diminishes. In an emotional private meeting, the First Lady asks Alex to please save her kids. But even the highest security clearance doesn’t get him any closer to the kidnapper — and Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes in.

An American general is captured in the Middle East by terrorists who threaten to behead him within days. One strange fact: moments before he is rendered unconscious during the attack, the general notices that his captors speak American English. What's going on?

Gunnery Sgt. Kyle Swanson, a top Marine sniper, is vacationing on a yacht in the Mediterranean when he receives orders to mount a top secret mission to rescue the general. But as the Marines prepare to land in the Syrian desert, they fall victim to a terrible accident. Swanson, the only survivor, then discovers they were also flying into an ambush. How did the enemy have details of a mission known only to a few top American government officials?

Swanson takes off across the desert alone to find the captured general and realizes he is fighting a particularly ruthless and dangerous enemy: American mercenaries working for a very-high-level group of U.S. officials with ties to the White House itself, part of a clandestine conspiracy whose hidden goal is nothing less than total control of the American military. Their sworn enemy is the captured general whose fate now rests in Swanson's hands.

Filled with the kind of action that author Jack Coughlin lived during his career as a Marine sniper, Kill Zone marks the debut of an extraordinary new series.
