Van de #1 New York Times-bestsellerauteur komt een meeslepende psychologische thriller waarin twee vrouwen—een voormalige detective en een gevaarlijke oplichter—het tegen elkaar opnemen in een electriserend kat-en-muis spel. Mickey Gibson, alleenstaande moeder en voormalige detective, leidt een hectisch leven waarin ze de eisen van haar twee kleine kinderen combineert met haar werk voor ProEye, een wereldwijd onderzoeksbedrijf dat rijke belasting- en kredietfraudeurs opspoort. Wanneer Mickey een telefoontje krijgt van een collega met een ongebruikelijk verzoek om de leegstaande woning van een wapenhandelaar te inventariseren, denkt ze er niet veel van. Tot ze bij het landhuis aankomt en een lijk in een geheime kamer ontdekt—en dat niets is zoals het lijkt. De wapenhandelaar blijkt niet te bestaan en het slachtoffer is Harry Lancaster, een man met banden met de maffia die ooit in het getuigenbeschermingsprogramma zat. Bovendien werkt er niemand met de naam Arlene Robinson bij ProEye. In een oogwenk is Gibson de belangrijkste verdachte in een moordonderzoek—en nu staat ook haar baan op het spel totdat ze bewijst dat ze in de val is gelokt. Al snel is Gibson verwikkeld in een strijd van verstand met een briljante vrouw zonder naam, een verborgen verleden en onbekende motieven—wiens einddoel net zo mysterieus als dodelijk is.

By his 18th birthday David Millar was living and racing in France, sleeping in rented rooms, tipped to be the next English-speaking Tour winner. A year later he'd realised the dream and signed a professional contract with the Cofidis team, who had one Lance Armstrong on their books. He perhaps lived the high life a little too enthusiastically -- high on a roof after too much drink , he broke his heel in a fall, and before long the pressure to succeed had tipped over into doping. Here, in a full and frank autobiography, David Millar recounts the story from the inside: he doped because 'cycling's drug culture was like white noise', and because of peer pressure. 'I doped for money and glory in order to guarantee the continuation of my status.' Five years on from his arrest, Millar is clean and reflective, and holds nothing back in this account of his dark years.

A heart-pounding thriller featuring Amos Decker, FBI Special Agent, by internationally bestselling author David Baldacci.

From the author of The 6:20 Man, "Memory Man" Amos Decker--an FBI consultant with perfect recall--delves into a bewildering double homicide in this new thriller in David Baldacci's #1 New York Times bestselling series. 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.

Will Robie escaped his small Gulf Coast hometown of Cantrell, Mississippi after high school, severing all personal ties, and never looked back. Not once. Not until the unimaginable occurs. His father, Dan Robie, has been arrested and charged with murder. Father and son haven't spoken or seen each other since the day Robie left town. In that time, Dan Robie -- a local attorney and pillar of the community -- has been elected town judge. Despite this, most of Cantrell is aligned against Dan. His guilt is assumed. To make matters worse, Dan has refused to do anything to defend himself. When Robie tries to help, his father responds only with anger and defiance. Could Dan really be guilty? With the equally formidable Jessica Reel at his side, Robie ignores his father's wishes and begins his own desperate investigation into the case. But Robie is now a stranger to his hometown, an outsider, a man who has forsaken his past and his family. His attempts to save his father are met with distrust and skepticism ... and violence. Unlike the missions Robie undertook in the service of his country, where his target was clearly defined, digging into his father's case only reveals more questions. Robie is drawn into the hidden underside of Cantrell, where he must face the unexpected and possibly deadly consequences of the long-ago choices made by father and son. And this time, there may be no escape for either of them
