Mitch Rapp has worked for a number of presidents over his career, but Anthony Cook is unlike any he’s encountered before. Cunning and autocratic, he feels no loyalty to America’s institutions and is distrustful of the influence Rapp and CIA director Irene Kennedy have in Washington. When Kennedy discovers evidence of a mole scouring the Agency’s database for sensitive information on Nicholas Ward, the world’s first trillionaire, she assigns Rapp the task of protecting him. In doing so, he finds himself walking an impossible tightrope: Keep the man alive, but also use him as bait to uncover a traitor who has seemingly unlimited access to government secrets. As the attacks on Ward become increasingly dire, Rapp and Kennedy are dragged into a world where the lines between governments, multinational corporations, and the hyper-wealthy fade. An environment in which liberty, nationality, and loyalty are meaningless. Only the pursuit of power remains.

Terrorism in Europe has spun out of control. The United States has decided on a dramatic response. Now, the CIA needs a very special kind of operative. Scot Harvath has exactly the skills the CIA is looking for. He’s a former US Navy SEAL with extensive experience in espionage. Working for a private intelligence company, he will provide the CIA, and more important, the President, with absolute deniability. But deep within the Russian Caucasus, Moscow also has its own special kind of operative. When a clandestine American operations team is ambushed near Syria, all signs point toward a dangerous informant in Brussels. As the attacks mount, and terror is brought to the very doorstep of the White House, Harvath finds himself in the race of his life. From Vienna, Brussels, and Berlin, to Malta, Jordan, and Syria—he will push himself beyond the edge in order to confront one of the greatest evils the world has ever known.

As a storm rages across the Mediterranean Sea, a terrifying distress call is made to the Italian Coast Guard. Days later, a body washes ashore. Identified as a missing high value terrorism suspect, his name sends panic through the Central Intelligence Agency. Where was he headed? What was he planning? In a race against time, the CIA taps an unorthodox source to get answers: Navy SEAL turned covert counterterrorism operative, Scot Harvath. Hired on a black contract, Harvath will provide the deniability the United States needs, while he breaks every rule along the way.

LAPD detective Renee Ballard and Harry Bosch work together to hunt the killer who is Bosch's 'white whale' -- a man responsible for the murder of an entire family.  A year has passed since LAPD detective Renée Ballard quit the force in the face of misogyny, demoralization, and endless red tape.  But after the chief of police himself tells her she can write her own ticket within the department, Ballard takes back her badge, leaving “the Late Show” to rebuild and lead the cold case unit at the elite Robbery-Homicide Division. For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him -- the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free.  Ballard makes Bosch an offer: come volunteer as an investigator in her new Open-Unsolved Unit, and he can pursue his “white whale” with the resources of the LAPD behind him. First priority for Ballard is to clear the unsolved rape and murder of a sixteen-year-old girl.  The decades-old case is essential to the councilman who supported re-forming the unit, and who could shutter it again -- the victim was his sister.  When Ballard gets a “cold hit” connecting the killing to a similar crime, proving that a serial predator has been at work in the city for years, the political pressure has never been higher.  To keep momentum going, she has to pull Bosch off his own investigation, the case that is the consummation of his lifelong mission.  The two must put aside old resentments and new tensions to run to ground not one but two dangerous killers who have operated with brash impunity.

 Tis the night before Christmas when a bedraggled white feline enters the heart -- and home -- of Cleveland Amory. To say it is a friendly takeover is an understatement. For the cat who came for Christmas is clearly of the Independent Type, and Cleveland Amory, who has rescued many a homeless creature as president of The Fund for Animals, is, where his own pets are concerned, primarily a "dog man."  As it is with all good relationships, domestic skirmishes are their modus vivendi. Toe-to-toe they stand - Amory at six feet three, the cat at six inches - and eyeball-to-eyeball each other on every issue - whether or not to come when called, to recognize one's name, to take a trip, a pill, a bath or a walk on a leash, to be civil to New People, or even in an age when Thin Is In why anyone in his right mind would want to be the Last Fat Cat. We will not spoil 'he Cat Who Came for Christmas by telling you who blinks first. Suffice it to say that in this hilarious battle, nine times out of ten it is not the cat.  The chapter titles tell the story -- "The Great Compromise," "His Hollywood," "His Fitness Program," "His Foreign Policy," "His Domestic Policy." But there is much more, including the cat's memorable meetings with such notables as Walter Cronkite, George C. Scott, and the late Cary Grant, not to mention those with a cat psychiatrist, an afghan in Central Park, the Kamikaze Kitten and Herbert the Pigeon.  Here, too, is not just the story of one cat, but literally hundreds of others - from celebrity to literary cats, from the cats of movie stars and American Presidents to those of Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Aldous Huxley and T.S. Eliot. Indeed, in chapters like "His Roots" and "A Difficult Matter," there is a whole history of cats.  An enchanting true story that makes laughing out loud inevitable, The Cat Who Came for Christmas is for anyone who has ever been owned by a cat -- or any other pet.

“We’re going to murder people who need to be murdered.” So begins a press release from a mysterious group known only as “The Five,” shortly after a vicious predator is murdered in San Francisco. The Five is made up of vigilante killers who are very bored…and very rich. They target the worst of society—rapists, murderers, and thieves—and then use their unlimited resources to offset the damage done by those who they’ve killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to charities and victims via the dark net. The Five soon become popular figures in the media …though their motives may not be entirely pure. After The Five strike again in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport are sent in to investigate. And they soon have their hands full--the killings are smart and carefully choreographed, and with no apparent direct connection to the victims, the killers are virtually untraceable. But if anyone can destroy this group, it will be the dynamic team of Davenport and Flowers.
