**Three women fled the scene -- but did one commit the crime?** When mob accountant Anthony Costello, nephew of the don of central Florida, is fatally stabbed in his own kitchen, the numbers are off. Way off. There were three women in the house with him that morning -- his wife, Anna; his maid, Serena; and his personal chef, Sarah. All three have reason to want him dead. And all three are missing. What's more, chef Sarah happens to be married to homicide detective Sean Walsh. Walsh may be a bad husband, but he's a good cop. And one with a ready audience: his vengeful ex-partner, who's in charge of the investigation; and Anthony's uncle, who has his own powerful hold over Walsh. Both are watching his every move. But even if Walsh can find the women and bring them in, it'll be their word against that of a dead man -- and none of them can be trusted

The writer, Thomas Tull, calls the Family Man murders the perfect crime story. He believes the killer may never be caught. Cross knows there is no perfect crime. And he’s going to hunt down the Family Man no matter what it takes. Until the Family Man decides to flip the narrative and bring down Cross and his family

**In the long-awaited follow-up to the #1 bestselling thriller INVISIBLE . . . t** **he perfect murder always looks like an accident.** FBI agent Emmy Dockery is absolutely relentless. She's young and driven, and her unique skill at seeing connections others miss has brought her an impressive string of arrests. But a shocking new case-unfolding across the country-has left her utterly baffled. The victims all appear to have died by accident, and have seemingly nothing in common. But this many deaths can't be coincidence. And the killer is somehow one step ahead of every move Dockery makes. *How?* To FBI special agent Harrison "Books" Bookman, everyone in the FBI is a suspect-particularly Emmy Dockery (the fact that she's his ex-fiancee doesn't make it easier). But someone else is watching Dockery. Studying, learning, waiting. Until it's the perfect time to strike

Алекс Крос поема случаи на прецизно режисирани убийства на млади мъже и жени. Огледът на местопрестъпленията сочи към двама извършители, водени от заслепяваща ярост. Опитният детектив забелязва и нещо още по-смущаващо: начинът, по който са извършени престъпленията, говори за дълго таена болна фантазия и прецизен план за реализирането ѝ. Мълвата за тандема психопати плъзва из Вашингтон и всява ужас сред жителите на града. Това поставя Крос под огромно напрежение да разреши случаите. Докато работи неуморно, той не забелязва, че някой го следи. Някой, който дълго е чакал да разчисти сметките си с него

Вашингтон — больше не оплот законности и порядка. Отныне он — ТЕРРИТОРИЯ СМЕРТИ.

«…Ибо сам путешественник, и поэт, и актер», — сказал как-то о себе Николай Глазков (1919–1979), поэт интересный, самобытный. Справедливость этих слов подтверждается рассказами его друзей и знакомых. Только сейчас, после смерти поэта, стало осознаваться, какое это крупное явление — Н. Глазков. Среди авторов сборника не только известные писатели, но и кинорежиссер В. Строева, актер М. Козаков, гроссмейстер Ю. Авербах… В их воспоминаниях вырисовывается облик удивительно своеобразного художника, признанного авторитета у своих собратьев по перу

Агентът от ФБР Джон О’Хара е нает от милиардера Уорнър Бреслоу да извърши малко частно разследване. Някой е убил сина на Бреслоу по време на медения му месец на Карибските острови и милиардерът, който няма доверие в способностите на полицията, иска Джон да открие виновника. Примамен от щедрото възнаграждение, агентът приема задачата… и скоро открива, че е въвлечен в игра на котка и мишка с изобретателен сериен убиец. Докато О’Хара преследва екзекутора на младоженци, колежката му Сара Брубейкър се опитва да залови друг убиец — някой, който бавно, но методично избива мъже с името Джон О’Хара. Джеймс Патерсън (роден 1947 г.) държи рекорда на „Гинес“ по брой на първи места в листата за бестселъри на в. „Ню Йорк Таймс“. С първата си книга печели наградата „Едгар“ за най-добър дебютен криминален роман (1976), когато авторът е едва двайсет и седем годишен. Оттогава е написал повече от трийсет криминални романа, сред които над 10 от поредицата с детектива психолог Алекс Крос. През 1997 г. „Парамаунт Пикчърс“ снима изключително успешен филм по „Целуни момичетата“, в който ролята на Алекс Крос се изпълнява от Морган Фрийман. Две други негови книги също са филмирани успешно. Джеймс Патерсън твърди, че иска да бъде „кралят на романите, четящи се на един дъх“. Според почитателите на неговите трилъри той вече е такъв. Книгите му са оглавявали класацията за бестселъри на в. „Ню Йорк Таймс“ над 60 пъти, а общият им тираж в световен мащаб е над 300 милиона екземпляра. Джеймс Патерсън фигурира в Книгата за рекордите на Гинес и като първия писател, продал над 1 милион електронни книги. Затова никой вече не се наема да го сравнява с други величия в областта на криминалния роман — Патерсън с основание е смятан за несравним феномен

Жестоко убиты две темнокожие женщины, девочка и пожилая дама. Казалось бы, у жертв не было ничего общего. Но связь все-таки есть — серийный убийца расправляется только с теми, кто имеет какое-то отношение к четырем подругам. И очередной жертвой может стать уже кто-то из них. Кольцо смертельной опасности, нависшей над ними, сжимается. Каким будет следующий шаг преступника? И можно ли его остановить?

Этот преступник называет себя Учителем. И он намерен преподать урок всем жителям Нью-Йорка. Он убивает, заявляя, что выполняет высшую миссию — избавляет город от богачей, кичащихся огромными деньгами и положением в обществе. Но какое отношение к ним имели другие жертвы — юная пассажирка метро, продавец из дорогого магазина, метрдотель элитного клуба, стюардесса? Детектив Майкл Беннетт, которому поручено это сложное дело, убежден: убийца преследует какую-то иную цель и она далека от его громких заявлений. В ходе расследования Беннетт подбирается к Учителю все ближе, но вскоре погибают двое его коллег-полицейских, и он понимает, что смертельная опасность грозит и ему самому…
