Dette De Sang (Victor Carl, #4)

La femme d'un chef cuisinier français, François Dubé, a été sauvagement assassinée. Son mari, accusé du meurtre et emprisonné, clame son innocence : il contacte le cabinet d'avocats Derringer & Carl pour trouver de nouvelles preuves en sa faveur afin de faire réviser son procès. Le hic, c'est que Victor Carl ne croit pas une seconde à l'innocence de l'arrogant Français - et il faut toute la force de persuasion de son associée Beth, tombée sous le charme de leur client, pour qu'il accepte l'affaire. Comme si Victor n'avait pas d'autres soucis en tête. Toujours célibataire et désargenté, le voilà qui souffre en plus d'une terrible rage de dents. Partagé entre effroi et résignation, il se décide à consulter l'énigmatique "docteur Bob", un dentiste peu orthodoxe, déterminé à faire le bonheur de ses patients. Sur la fiche que doivent remplir ceux qui entrent dans son cabinet, on peut lire notamment la question suivante : "Avez-vous une sexualité satisfaisante ?" Et non content de soigner la dentition ravagée de Victor, ce bon Samaritain décide de le prendre en main - en commençant par lui faire changer de cravate, et en lui présentant une compagne idéale... Victor Carl a-t-il enfin rencontré son ange gardien ?

L'Homme Marqué (Victor Carl, #6)

"Lashner keeps the reader spellbound."-Harlan Coben New York Times bestselling author William Lashner takes a brief hiatus from his popular series character, lawyer Victor Carl (Hostile Witness, Fatal Flaw, A Killer's Kiss et al), and electrifies with Blood and Bone-a relentlessly exciting standalone thriller. A gripping story of a hard-luck slacker pulled into a deadly conspiracy surrounding the late father he barely knew, it enthralls and surprises on every page. The Washington Post raves: "Lashner is as impressive as anyone writing thrillers today." Blood and Bone is the proof.

Blood and Bone

"A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing." -- Albert Camus "I suppose every hundred million dollars has its own sordid story and the hundred million I am chasing is no exception..." So begins "Veritas, " William Lashner's riveting follow-up to his bestselling debut novel, "Hostile Witness." Victor Carl--lawyer, loser, hapless hero of "Hostile Witness, " and a Philadelphian way out of his element--has come to the sweat-drenched jungles of Berize to chase his fortune. Finding it is something else entirely.Coerced into defending an unpleasant parade of mob enforcers, two-bit hoods, and other Philadelphian riffraff, Carl wants out of his shabby, squalid life more than ever. So when a terrified young woman offers Carl an unusual--but substantial--proposition, he leaps at the opportunity to trade in his grubby existence for a life of wealthy excess.The job--proving that the recent suicide of wealthy Philadelphian heiress Jacqueline Shaw was not a suicide at all but murder--plunges Carl into an eerie shadow world, where events buried deep in the past exert an awful weight in the present, a world of overturned gravesites, gruesome secrets, and a haunted, lonely estate that houses the broken and dying heirs of a once-powerful family.Simultaneously caught up in an exploding mob war and the machinations of an avaricious cult, Carl realizes too late that he's in way over his head, as he races against time to collect his fee and get out alive. As Carl edges closer to the truth, a truth that is concealed in the mists of a bygone era and now awaits him in the rainforests of Belize, he learns firsthand that the most terrifying darkness crouches not in theheart of the jungle surrounding him but in the deepest yearnings of the human soul.
