The president rushes across the South Lawn through a pounding thunderstorm to Marine One to fly to Camp David late at night. His advisers plead with him not to fly, but he insists. He has arranged a meeting that only three people in his administration know about. After fighting its way through the brutal thunderstorm on the way to Camp David, Marine One crashes into a ravine in Maryland, killing all aboard.

The government blames the European manufacturer of the helicopter and accuses them of killing the president. Senate Investigations and Justice Department accusations multiply as Mike Nolan, a Marine Corps reserve helicopter pilot and trial attorney in civilian life, is hired to defend the company from the criminal investigations, then from a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the most notorious lawyer in America on behalf of the First Lady. Nolan knows that to prevail in the firestorm against his client, he has to find out what really caused Marine One to crash, and why the president threw caution aside to go to a meeting no one seems to know about. To clear his client, Nolan must win the highest-profile trial of the last hundred years with very little working for him, and everything working against him.

Marine One expertly mixes political intrigue with courtroom drama and fast-paced action in the most exciting thriller of the year.

Роман Ярослава Гашека «Похождения бравого солдата Швейка» во время мировой войны» - самый популярный чешский роман. Образ чешского солдата в армии Австро-Венгерской монархии был создан Ярославом Гашеком не сразу. В 1911г. в чешском журнале «Карикатуры» были напечатаны первые рассказы о солдате по имени Швейк («Поход Швейка против Италии», «Швейк закупает церковное вино» и др.). Образ Швейка в этих рассказах сильно отличается от образа его в романе. В 1917г. в Киеве на чешском языке выходит повесть Гашека «Бравый солдат Швейк в плену». Первые наброски к роману Гашек делает в 1916г., в 1921г. начинается публикация романа отдельными выпусками. Смерть писателя в 1923г. прервала его работу над 4 частью романа; её дописал друг Гашека, писатель Карел Ванек, и она вышла в том же 1923г. Последующие издания выходят без написанного Ванеком окончания. «Швейк» - один из первых антивоенных романов XX века. В значительной степени он автобиографичен. В нём соединяются две ведущие художественные линии творчества Гашека: фольклорно-очерковая и сатирико-гиперболическая.

Interior decorator Deva Dunne never dreamed she'd see a Monet hanging on someone's dining room wall. Then she snags a client with two Monet seascapes. Her thrill lasts until she finds one of the paintings missing, cut from its frame, and the cook shot dead.

Rough-around-the edges, but gorgeous all-around police lieutenant Victor Rossi insists Deva leave the sleuthing to the police. But what could it hurt to come up with a list of suspects that doesn't include herself? Like the owners of the Monets, a rich man and his trophy wife, and their frequent guests. Even the cook's husband is suspect. Then Deva finds another victim, clutching a very strange set of clues.

Desperate to save her business amid the negative publicity, Deva helps Rossi investigate. And when he needs advice decorating his bedroom, she just might find a client for life. Unless a killer gets to her first.

Pulsing with the dark obsession of Radiohead’s song “Creep,” this taut thriller-Jennifer Hillier’s superb debut-rockets from its seductive opening to a heartpounding climax not easily forgotten.

If he can’t have her…

Dr. Sheila Tao is a professor of psychology. An expert in human behavior. And when she began an affair with sexy, charming graduate student Ethan Wolfe, she knew she was playing with fire. Consumed by lust when they were together, riddled with guilt when they weren’t, she knows the three-month fling with her teaching assistant has to end. After all, she’s finally engaged to a kind and loving investment banker who adores her, and she’s taking control of her life. But when she attempts to end the affair, Ethan Wolfe won’t let her walk away.

… no one else can.

Ethan has plans for Sheila, plans that involve posting a sex video that would surely get her fired and destroy her prestigious career. Plans to make her pay for rejecting him. And as she attempts to counter his every threatening move without her colleagues or her fiancé discovering her most intimate secrets, a shattering crime rocks Puget Sound State University: a female student, a star athlete, is found stabbed to death. Someone is raising the stakes of violence, sex, and blackmail… and before she knows it, Sheila is caught in a terrifying cat-and-mouse game with the lover she couldn’t resist-who is now the monster who won’t let her go.

Hired to protect Maisy Andrus-a vociferous supporter of the right to die-from a potential assassin, John Francis Cuddy must put his marathon training on a back burner to get involved with the Andrus case-a job that dredges up painful memories of his own wife's slow death.<

Josh and Bella have been friends for years, but suddenly Bella is starting to see her Josh in a very different light – she's falling in love. Worse, she's just agreed to pretend to be Josh's fiancee and spend a week in the Seychelles with him.<

Seth Carrington necesitaba una novia y Daisy Deare un pasaje al Caribe… ¡parecía un intercambio justo! Sin embargo, después de haber pasado satisfactoriamente la exhaustiva entrevista de Seth, a Daisy le surgieron algunas dudas: Seth era un déspota y tenía unos modales bastante rudos… excepto cuando sonreía. Entonces, se transformaba en una persona sumamente atractiva.

Sonriente o no, Daisy tenía que enfrentarse a la realidad. Su trabajo sería algo estrictamente temporal. Tenía que actuar como señuelo para desviar la atención del romance secreto que Seth mantenía con una sofisticada y bella mujer casada.

Skye había decidido cambiar. Estaba cansada de ser una niña mimada y protegida y sobre todo, estaba cansada de que la llamaran impulsiva, incoherente y estrafalaria. Iba a demostrar al mundo que ella era capaz de conseguir un trabajo en las oficinas de Lorimer Kingan y, además, mantenerlo. Era una mujer madura, porque el hecho de ir hasta Escocia buscando a un hombre, de mentir en su currículum y de usar pendientes enormes de animales no tenía nada que ver ¿o sí?<
