Книга выдающегося русского этнографа Льва Николаевича Гумилева посвящена одной из самых сложных и запутанных проблем отечественной истории – вопросу взаимоотношений Древней Руси и кочевников Великой степи на протяжении всего Средневековья. Увлекательная и эмоциональная, написанная безупречным языком, эта работа стала блестящей попыткой реконструкции подробной и целостной картины истории Евразии в XI–XIV веках.

Кэтрин Ферри – судебно-медицинский одонтолог, специалист по следам укусов, демонстрирующий блестящее понимание мотивов насильников и убийц, алкоголичка с расшатанной психикой – никак не может решиться взглянуть в лицо собственному прошлому, в котором остались шум дождя по оцинкованной крыше, вызывающий ужас оранжевый пикап, кровавые следы на ковре… Можно ли доверять этим воспоминаниям? Или правда настолько искажена, что девушка никогда не узнает подлинную историю своей семьи? Раскрытие серии загадочных убийств означает не только поимку безжалостного маньяка – быть может, для Кэтрин это единственный способ сохранить здравый рассудок…

With his gift for crafting “a keep-you engaged- to-the-very-last-page thriller” () at full throttle, Greg Iles brings back the unforgettable Penn Cage in this electrifying suspense masterpiece.

A new day has dawned . . . but the darkest evils live forever in the murky depths of a Southern town.

Penn Cage was elected mayor of Natchez, Mississippi—the hometown he returned to after the death of his wife—on a tide of support for change. Two years into his term, casino gambling has proved a sure bet for bringing new jobs and fresh money to this fading jewel of the Old South. But deep inside the , a fantastical repurposed steamboat, a depraved hidden world draws high-stakes players with money to burn on their unquenchable taste for blood sport and the dark vices that go with it. When an old high school friend hands him blood-chilling evidence, Penn alone must beat the odds tracking a sophisticated killer who counters his every move, placing those nearest to him—including his young daughter, his renowned physician father, and a lover from the past—in grave danger, and all at the risk of jeopardizing forever the town he loves.

From Publishers Weekly

Iles's third addition to the Penn Cage saga is an effective thriller that would have been even more satisfying at half its length. There is a lot of story to cover, with Cage now mayor of Natchez, Miss., battling to save his hometown, his family and his true love from the evil clutches of a pair of homicidal casino operators who are being protected by a homeland security bigwig. Dick Hill handles the large cast of characters effortlessly, adopting Southern accents that range from aristocratic (Cage and his elderly father) to redneck (assorted Natchez townsfolk). He provides the bad guys with their vocal flair, including an icy arrogance for the homeland security honcho, a soft Asian-tempered English for the daughter of an international villain and the rough Irish brogue of the two main antagonists. One of the latter pretends to be an upper-class Englishman and, in a moment of revelation, Hill does a smashing job of switching accents mid-sentence. 

The Spandau Diarywhat was in it? Why did the secret intelligence agencies of every major power want it? Why was a brave and beautiful woman kidnapped and sexually tormented to get it? Why did a chain of deception and violent death lash out across the globe, from survivors of the Nazi past to warriors in the new conflict now about to explode? Why did the world's entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss?

A neo-Nazi/South African cartel plots to destroy Israel.

From Library Journal

Rudolph Hess--Spandau prisoner number 7--dies in 1987. When a secret "Hess diary" is found at Spandau by a West German policeman, the various police and intelligence agencies stationed in Berlin become even more interested in Hess's 1941 flight to England. Did Hess have highly placed contacts there? Was he alone? Was his well-trained double captured instead? The chain reaction from the diary's discovery explodes around West Germany, England, and South Africa, uncovering secret alliances and double agents. This first novel, which attempts to fill in history's blanks and to tie the past with the present, has action, characters, and violence to spare. But the body count is high, even for this genre, and the novel loses its impact long before the end of the drawn-out plot.

“On fire with suspense.”—

It is January 1944—and as Allied troops prepare for D-Day, Nazi scientists develop a toxic nerve gas that would repel and wipe out any invasion force. To salvage the planned assault, two vastly different but equally determined men are sent to infiltrate the secret concentration camp where the poison gas is being perfected on human subjects. Their only objective: destroy all traces of the gas and the men who created it—no matter how many lives may be lost. Including their own…

“Stunning…From the very first page,takes his readers on an emotional roller-coaster ride, juxtaposing tension-filled action scenes, horrifying depictions of savage cruelty, and heart-stopping descriptions of sacrifice and bravery. A remarkable story from a remarkable writer”—

But this man has never met the likes of Will and Karen Jennings.

Enero de 1944. Las tropas aliadas se prepararan para el día D y el mundo entero espera la invasión aliada de Europa. Pero en Inglaterra, Winston Churchill ha descubierto que los científicos nazis han desarrollado un gas nervioso tóxico que puede repeler y eliminar cualquier fuerza invasora, el arma química final. Sólo una jugada desesperada puede evitar el desastre.

Para salvar el planificado asalto, dos hombres muy diferentes pero igualmente decididos -un médico pacifista estadounidense y un fanático sionista – son enviados a infiltrarse en el campo de concentración secreto donde está siendo perfeccionado el gas venenoso en seres humanos.

Sus únicos aliados: una joven viuda judía que lucha para salvar a sus hijos y una enfermera alemana que es la imagen de la perfección aria. Su único objetivo: destruir todos los rastros del gas y los hombres que la crearon, sin importar cuántas vidas se pueden perder, incluso las suyas propias…

Lo que se ven obligados a hacer en el nombre de la victoria y la supervivencia demuestra con terrible claridad que, en un mundo donde todo esta en juego, la guerra no tiene reglas.

Desde la primera página, Greg Iles lleva a sus lectores en un viaje en montaña rusa emocional, escenas de acción llenas de tensión, representaciones horribles de crueldad y descripciones de sacrificio y valentía.
