A blazingly original new novel from the undisputed dean of American crime fiction, featuring a sharp, tough, sexy new P.I., Sunny Randall.

Sunny Randall is a Boston P.I. and former cop, a college graduate, an aspiring painter, a divorcee, and the owner of a miniature bullterrier named Rosie. Hired by a wealthy family to locate their teenage daughter, Sunny is tested by the parents’ preconceived notion of what a detective should be. With the help of underworld contacts she tracks down the runaway Millicent, who has turned to prostitution, rescues her from her pimp, and finds herself, at thirty-four, the unlikely custodian of a difficult teenager when the girl refuses to return to her family.

But Millicent’s problems are rooted in much larger crimes than running away, and Sunny, now playing the role of bodyguard, is caught in a shooting war with some very serious mobsters. She turns for help to her ex-husband, Richie, himself the son of a mob family, and to her dearest friend, Spike, a flamboyant and dangerous gay man. Heading this unlikely alliance, Sunny must solve at least one murder, resolve a criminal conspiracy that reaches to the top of state government, and bring Millicent back into functional young womanhood.

Where every day the sun makes a promise the nighttime breaks, while the super-rich live out expensive fantasies in posh beach houses and drown their memories in Cuervo Gold margaritas...

Where trouble has swept in like a Santa Ana wind, blowing the cover off a world of torture, murder and blood-red secrets

Where a crazed killer has turned paradise into a Disneyland of depraved violance — with a fiery vengeance — and where homicide cop Tom Shephard unravels a grisly mystery that reaches back across forty years of sordid sex, blackmail, and suicide into the dark corners of his own past, and sweats out a deadly truth in the sweltering..

Captain Tom Barnes is leading British troops in a war zone. Two boys are growing up there, sharing a prized bicycle and flying kites, before finding themselves separated once the soldiers appear in their countryside. On all sides of this conflict, people are about to be caught up in the violence, from the man who trains one boy to fight the infidel invaders to Barnes's family waiting for him to return home.

We see them not as they see themselves, but as all the objects surrounding them do: shoes and boots, a helmet, a trove of dollars, a drone, that bike, weaponry, a bag of fertilizer, a medal, a beer glass, a snowflake, dog tags, an exploding IED and the medical implements that are subsequently employed.

Anatomy of a Soldier is a moving, enlightening and fiercely dramatic novel about one man's journey of survival and the experiences of those around him. Forty-five objects, one unforgettable story.

'A tour de force. In this brilliant and beguiling novel Harry Parker sees the hidden forces that act on the bodies and souls of combatants and non-combatants. . It feels like war through the looking glass but it is utterly real.' Nadeem Aslam

Patrick Norris has seen the worst that Afghanistan has to offer — punishing heat, bitter cold, and buddies blown away by bombs and snipers.

Patrick falls in love with Iris, a beautiful and unusual woman, who seems strong enough to help see Patrick through his re-entry from the war. But Ted’s plan for redemption goes terribly wrong. Desperate to find his brother and salvage what remains of his family, Patrick must make an agonizing choice.

A former L.A. homicide cop with a drinking problem, a broken marriage, and some lost dreams, Stone has just been hired to be police chief of the small Massachusetts town of Paradise. The Paradise power brokers are sure surprised when Stone not only doesn’t look the other way at various goings-on but also starts looking into such matters as money laundering, militia activities, and murder.

Matt Stromsoe has come a long way since his wife and son were killed in an explosion meant for him. Wounded severely in both body and spirit, Stromsoe gave up the last thing that held any meaning for him — his job on the police force — and proceeded to hit rock bottom, hard.

That was a lifetime ago, and finally the spiral of personal destruction and despair seems to have come to an end. The man responsible for the murders — Stromsoe’s best friend from childhood and his wife’s old lover — is behind bars and Stromsoe has put the past behind him, rescued from the abyss by a former colleague who offers him a job at his private security firm. Stromsoe’s first assignment is to protect local television personality Frankie Hatfield from a stalker. But the further Stromsoe is drawn into this case, the more he finds that the net of intrigue is wide and ultimately leads back to the man who killed his family. As events conspire against him, Stromsoe learns that prison is no safeguard against revenge.

Un hombre despierta en un charco de lodo y sangre; a su alrededor no hay más que cadáveres y unos cuervos que lo observan inquisitivos. Ha perdido completamente la memoria. Su accidentado encuentro con Copis, la falsa sacerdotisa, quien le dará un nombre, Poldarn, marca el principio de una serie de aventuras y calamidades, Poldarn vagará por un hostil imperio de piratas, monjes guerreros, magia, conspiraciones y másacres, internándose en las sombras, tanto del mundo en que vive como de su pasado.

Ha transcurrido un año desde que Poldarn perdió la memoria y emprendió un viaje repleto de desventuras que culminó con el reencuentro con su gente. Ahora ha regresado a su aldea, en la isla Este, albergando la esperanza de descansar y recuperar la identidad. Su nueva vida presenta importantes retos: integrarse en una sociedad donde la tradición y la rutina han acabado con la necesidad de hablar; aprender el oficio de herrero, para el que pronto se revela como un verdadero negado; casarse con la joven Elja, cuando el matrimonio tampoco resulta ser uno de sus fuertes... Aparte, sólo Poldarn puede salvar a su pueblo del volcán que los amenaza desde el centro de la isla. Pero Poldarn seguirá provocando situaciones tragicómicas con su especial talento para meter la pata, y todo su empeño por encajar en una comunidad sin fisuras resultará torpe e infructuoso. Además, en sus sueños o alucinaciones proféticas va descubriendo aspectos muy poco alentadores sobre su oscuro pasado: por lo visto, fue un auténtico granuja. Ésta es la segunda entrega de una trilogía repleta de aventura, frescura y misterio, compuesta con un estilo tan original como adictivo y forjada en torno a un concepto del destino importado directamente de la tragedia griega.
