      En 1940, Olivier, jeune homme de 17 ans, est apprenti typographe chez son oncle Henri. L'exode le pousse à fuir vers la Loire avec sa famille, puis à bicyclette vers l'Auvergne. De retour à Paris sous l'occupation allemande, il bénéficie de certains privilèges familiaux, ce qui lui cause un sentiment de honte. Face à l'appel du Service du Travail Obligatoire (STO), il entre dans la clandestinité, se cache chez des amis de la famille, puis travaille à Roanne avant de fuir à pied vers Saugues. En chemin, il rencontre des maquisards et choisit de les rejoindre sans hésitation. Nicholas Spencer, directeur d'un centre de recherche médicale, disparaît dans un accident d'avion mystérieux. Son laboratoire voit son vaccin anti-cancéreux refusé, et il est soupçonné de détournement de fonds. Carley, journaliste et belle-sœur de Spencer, se lance dans l'enquête et découvre des questions troublantes : et si l'accident était un coup monté ? Pourquoi les autorités médicales ont-elles changé d'avis sur le vaccin ? Sa quête de vérité devient dangereuse. Les années passion suivent une journaliste déterminée à Bordeaux dans les années 80, explorant l'accès des femmes à des postes de responsabilité et les relations humaines marquées par des malentendus et des jalousies. Dans un roman noir hypnotique, John Rain, tueur à gages à Tokyo, jongle entre ses principes et son attirance pour Midori, une pianiste de jazz, alors que son passé guerrier ref

      The assassins of Barry Eisler's #1 bestseller The Killer Collective are back--and this time, it's chaos. Assistant US Attorney Alondra Diaz hates traffickers. And she's determined to put one of America's most powerful financiers, Andrew Schrader, in prison forever for his crimes against children. But Schrader has videos implicating some of the most powerful members of the US national security state. To eliminate Diaz, the powers that be bring in a contractor: Marvin Manus, an implacable assassin whose skills have been forged in intelligence, the military, and the hardest prisons. Enter former Marine sniper Dox and black-ops veteran Daniel Larison with an unusual assignment: not to kill Diaz, but to keep her alive. A lot of players are determined to acquire the videos and the blackmail power they represent. But with Seattle sex-crimes detective Livia Lone, "natural causes" killer John Rain, and ex-Mossad honey-trap specialist Delilah, the good guys might just have a chance. They're not going to play by anyone else's rules. They're not going to play by any rules at all. They want a different kind of fight. The chaos kind.
