Berkeley, California 1944: A former presidential candidate is assassinated in one of the rooms at the opulent Claremont Hotel. A rich industrialist, Walter Wilkinson could have been targeted by any number of adversaries. But Detective Al Sullivan's investigation brings up the spectre of another tragedy at the Claremont ten years earlier: the death of seven-year-old Iris Stafford, a member of the wealthy and influential Bainbridge family. Some say she haunts the Claremont still. The many threads of the case keep leading Sullivan back to the three remaining Bainbridge heiresses, now adults: Iris's sister, Isabella, and her cousins Cassie and Nicole. Determined not to let anything distract him from the truth - not the powerful influence of Bainbridges' grandmother, or the political aspirations of Berkeley's district attorney, or the interest of Chinese first lady Madame Chiang Kai-Shek - Sullivan follows his investigation to its devastating conclusion. Chua's page-turning debut brings to life a historical era rife with turbulent social forces and ground-breaking forensic advances, when access to power, and therefore justice, hinged on gender, race and class.

Tradimento e doppio gioco sono la norma in questo thriller mediorientale di spie contro spie.4,3 stelle su 400 recensioni US Amazon! Grande lettura! Un agente del Mossad morto, scienziati missilistici nazisti, la Fratellanza Musulmana, un ambasciatore americano corrotto e due reggimenti di carri armati egiziani scomparsi: qualcuno sta cercando di scatenare un'altra guerra arabo-israeliana. Richard Thomson è un agente bruciato della CIA che l'Agenzia ha scaricato in Egitto perché non riusciva a pensare a un posto peggiore dove mandarlo. Già rosicchiato da Langley e incastrato dalla polizia del Cairo, la sua giornata non può peggiorare di molto, finché qualcuno non lascia un cadavere sui gradini posteriori del suo albergo con la testa mozzata come un melone maturo. Un messaggio? Non c'è dubbio. Il corpo appartiene a Mahmoud Yussuf, un grasso ladruncolo e aspirante spia che vende fotografie di una base della RAF abbandonata da tempo nel deserto egiziano. Mentre il mondo si concentra sui missili russi a Cuba, nessuno nota quelli che vengono srotolati nel deserto egiziano e puntati su Israele, nessuno, tranne Thomson. Solo e in fuga, nessuno crede alla sua storia: né la CIA, né l'ambasciatore degli Stati Uniti, né tanto meno il capitano Hassan Saleh, capo dell'ufficio omicidi della polizia del Cairo, che vuole impiccare Thomson per omicidio. Come La notte dei generali, questo è un giallo avvolto in un thriller politico internazionale. Tick Toc, Tick Toc, tutto inizierà giovedì a mezzogiorno, a meno che Thompson non riesca a fermarli. Questo thriller di spionaggio della Guerra Fredda vi riporterà indietro nel tempo, quando John Kennedy era alla Casa Bianca, Nikita Kruscev governava il Cremlino e Abdel Gamal Nasser sedeva precariamente al Cairo, minacciato dalla frangia islamista radicale della Fratellanza Musulmana.Se siete alla ricerca di un buon libro da spiaggia o di qualcosa con cui accoccolarvi davanti al fuoco, questo thriller cospirativo dal ritmo incalzante è stato scritto dall'autore di Burke's War, Burke's Gamble, Burke's Revenge, Burke's Samovar, Burke's Mandarin, Burke's Rescue e il nuovo Burke's Machete.

There's plenty of action and the pace is kept up throughout, leading to a dramatic ending and some nice twists along the way. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what comes next in this series! 5* - Alyson Reads and Reviews⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A great read that keeps you guessing throughout. I love that the characters are becoming more involved. Already waiting for the next book! - Stephanie Wellbelove⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A very well-written book with many surprises throughout. This was not a book that was easy to predict the outcome of. I loved that. Twists and turns and a conclusion I didn't expect made this a great read. I look forward to further tales from Ravenswood. - Lynda Checkley
