L'ombre du soupçon

A Seattle, un tueur en série amateur de mise en scène macabre fait une apparition remarquée. Deux hommes sont retrouvés tailladés, étranglés et pendus : même âge, même taille, même pick-up. Bientôt, une jeune femme est assassinée selon un scénario identique. Sans nouvelles de son épouse depuis quelques jours, le célèbre avocat Gus Wheatley se présente à la morgue. Si le cadavre n'est pas celui de Beth, le soulagement est cependant de courte durée. La victime lui ressemble étrangement, et selon Andie Henning, chargée d'enquête au FBI, l'étrangleur pourrait fonctionner par paires... Pour Gus et Andie, le jeu du pendu ne fait que commencer et, à la recherche de Beth, ils ignorent encore que l'ombre de la potence cache un projet bien plus terrifiant...

La secte de l'ombre

A first-year resident at a major Boston children's hospital, Peyton Shields finally has the career she's always dreamed of-even though her marriage to Kevin, an up-and-coming young lawyer, is suffering from her hard work and impossibly long hours. But a late-night drive home in a heavy snowstorm changes everything when she is forced off the road. No one, not even Kevin, believes Peyton's claims that the "accident" was deliberate. Suddenly, her wonderful life has turned dark and uncertain, and the terror has only just begun. Her husband is growing inexplicably distant and bitter, accusing her of paranoia, betrayal, and infidelity. And a series of bizarre and frightening events is moving Peyton steadily closer to a faceless, resourceful enemy who is watching her every move.

Lying with Strangers

The author of five bestselling novels, including Under Cover of Darkness and The Pardon, James Grippando writes compulsively readable thrillers that could be drawn from today's headlines, only better. Now his trademark gifts are wonderfully demonstrated in a taut new tale of intrigue that will keep you guessing to the final, breathtaking scene. Just two years out of law school, Nick Rey is on the career fast track at a hot Miami law firm when he is suddenly plunged headfirst into a dangerous bid to save his father. Matthew Rey has been kidnapped while on business in Columbia's exotic port city of Cartagena. The ransom demand of three million dollars is far more than the Rey family can ever hope to raise. Fortunately, Matthew had purchased an insurance policy to protect against just such a threat. Unfortunately, the kidnappers seem to know all about the policy, and the insurance company, suspecting fraud, is refusing to pay out. With nowhere to turn, Nick links up with Alex, a beautiful, street-smart woman who may be the only person capable of negotiating with Matthew's abductors. But Nick soon discovers that the gravest dangers to him and his family are not the kidnappers and their guns, but the men in suits: lawyers, to be exact, at a powerful firm with something to hide, and they will stop at nothing to keep Nick from unleashing the truth.

Miami criminal defense attorney Jack Swyteck isn't looking for a new client, at least not one who is homeless and in jail for threatening to jump off a bridge. But from the moment Jack is called to defend the man, who goes by the name Falcon, something is amiss. For one thing, Falcon comes up with the $10, 000 bail-in cash. Then the body of a brutally murdered woman is found in the trunk of the abandoned car in which he is living. Panicked and on the run, Falcon takes Jack's best friend, Theo, hostage. They end up barricaded in a motel room, and Theo isn't the only one at Falcon's mercy. Jack must work with the cops and their crackerjack negotiator to free Theo and the other captives before Falcon decides he has nothing to lose by killing them all.

Thus unfolds a riveting, lightning-paced story, as only James Grippando can tell it.
