A story about one Big man, his too-tight leotard, and the haunting voice in his head screaming at him to clean up the streets.Chasing the Dragon is hands down, the most fun I've ever had with an ARC.Mark Towse has given us a new humanitarian hero narrative; a perfect mix of satire and sincerity. It's a kick-ass blend of Sin City's dark atmosphere and the unconventional heroism of Unbreakable. Beneath the comedic surface, the novel tackles some serious themes like domestic abuse and poverty and while it clearly pokes fun at certain elements, it never loses sight of the weightier subjects it addresses."Chasing The Dragon is a hybrid of all genres, a fever-dream mash-up of horror, fantasy, comedy, crime, thriller, mystery, and even a bit of bloody romance."

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.

A new thriller by the author of the Lindsey Ryan novels: Would you know a serial killer if you met one? What if she served your coffee every day? Grace Murphy doesn't seem like the type of woman who'd have a man cable-tied to a chair, slowly dying in her house. She keeps to herself and goes through life relatively unnoticed, working as a barista and caring for her sister, providing her with wholesome meals and a clean home-things they never had as children . . . Det. Garda Jerry Hughes knows about Grace's brutal and troubled childhood; his own life was profoundly affected by it. Jerry still checks in on the sisters from time to time. But at the moment, he's distracted by work. Men have been going missing in the city-and they seem to have nothing in common aside from a physical resemblance to someone from Grace Murphy's past . . . Praise for Michelle Dunne's While Nobody Is Watching "An engrossing psychological thriller." ―Booklist

Could he be as dangerous as I feared? I thought handsome, charming Blake would be the perfect fit for my quiet and sweet-natured friend Melanie.
