Murder and family secrets, a touch of romance and deeply-felt revenge - with the twist of all twists - make up the ingredients of One Good Deed. A gripping page-turner for all those who love mystery, crime, Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie from one of the world's favourite thriller writers, David Baldacci. In 1949, Aloysius Archer arrives in the dusty Southern town of Poca City. He has nothing but a handful of dollars, the clothes he's wearing and an appointment with his new parole officer. After his wartime experiences in Italy and a prison sentence for a crime he didn't commit, Archer is looking for a fresh start and a peaceful life. On his first night of freedom, Archer meets local business tycoon Hank Pittleman, who promises Archer handsome compensation to work as his debt collector. Yet Archer takes on more than he bargains for, as he becomes embroiled in a long-running feud between the drought-struck town's most dangerous residents. When one of them dies, the authorities label Archer as their number one suspect. A bloody game is being played above and below the law. Everybody playing has a deeply buried secret, and Archer must uncover them all - if he's to avoid going back behind bars.

The first snow of the season has fallen. A boy named Jonas wakes in the night to find his mother gone. Out his window, in the cold moonlight, he sees the snowman that inexplicably appeared in the yard earlier in the day. Around its neck is his mother’s pink scarf. Hole suspects a link between a menacing letter he's received and the disappearance of Jonas's mother - and of perhaps a dozen other women, all of whom went missing on the day of a first snowfall. As his investigation deepens, something else emerges: he is becoming a pawn in an increasingly terrifying game whose rules are devised - and constantly revised - by the killer. Fiercely suspenseful, its characters brilliantly realized, its atmosphere permeated with evil, "The Snowman" is the electrifying work of one of the best crime writers of our time.

Nothing Ventured is the incredible and thrilling novel by the master storyteller and bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and Kane and Abel, Jeffrey Archer. This is not a detective story, this is a story about the making of a detective . . . William Warwick has always wanted to be a detective, and decides, much to his father's dismay, that rather than become a barrister like his father, Sir Julian Warwick QC, and his sister Grace, he will join London's Metropolitan Police Force. After graduating from university, William begins a career that will define his life: from his early months on the beat under the watchful eye of his first mentor, Constable Fred Yates, to his first high-stakes case as a fledgling detective in Scotland Yard's arts and antiquities squad. Investigating the theft of a priceless Rembrandt painting from the Fitzmolean Museum, he meets Beth Rainsford, a research assistant at the gallery who he falls hopelessly in love with, even as Beth guards a secret of her own that she's terrified will come to light. While William follows the trail of the missing masterpiece, he comes up against suave art collector Miles Faulkner and his brilliant lawyer, Booth Watson QC, who are willing to bend the law to breaking point to stay one step ahead of William. Meanwhile, Miles Faulkner's wife, Christina, befriends William, but whose side is she really on? Nothing Ventured heralds the start of a brand new series in the style of Jeffrey Archer's number one Sunday Times bestselling The Clifton Chronicles: telling the story of the life of William Warwick - as a family man and a detective who will battle throughout his career against a powerful criminal nemesis. Through twists, triumph and tragedy, this series will show that William Warwick is destined to become one of Jeffrey Archer's most enduring legacies.

FBI consultant Amos Decker discovers that he may have made a fatal mistake when he was a rookie homicide detective in Redemption. Back in his home town, he's now compelled to discover the truth in the latest memory man thriller in David Baldacci's international number one bestselling series. Decker has returned to Burlington, Ohio, for a special reason. It would have been his daughter Molly's fourteenth birthday. Molly was brutally murdered four years ago in their home, along with his beloved wife, Cassie, and his brother-in-law. But then Decker is tracked down by a man he'll never forget: Meryl Hawkins, his first homicide arrest more than twelve years ago. Hawkins has been in prison serving a life sentence but was recently released due to a terminal illness. Decker now finds himself questioning what had seemed watertight evidence at the time - maybe he'd been a bit too keen to get that conviction? Could Hawkins really be innocent, as he's always claimed? If so, the killer is still out there - with a possible connection to a new crime. As the body count rises, and Decker and his former partner Mary Lancaster dig deeper, it looks as though there's a lot more to what they thought was a closed case.

Рання осінь 1981 року. На Тернопільщині один за одним помирають партійні та комсомольські діячі. Причина смерті — випили джерельної води. І не простої: біля села, де знаходять тіла, є джерело Святої Варвари. Місцева легенда свідчить, що вода в ньому чарівна. Людям із чистим серцем продовжує життя, а лиходіїв убиває. Містика — чи хтось невідомий оголосив владі свою таємну війну? Яку таємницю приховує густий ліс, де тече таємне джерело? Розслідувати дивну справу доручено київському сищику Ігореві Князевичу. Так він опиняється в загадковому, відрізаному від великих міст селі Гайворон, де люди живуть за своїми законами й таких, як він, ох, як не люблять… «Таємне джерело» — детектив у стилі ретро, сюжет якого замішаний на українській готиці. А ще — історичний роман, котрий переносить читача у не аж таке далеке минуле. Хто пам’ятає ті часи, згадає, як на їхніх очах валилася радянська імперія. Ті, хто тих часів не застав, зрозуміють, чому вона розвалилася.

Яскравий та динамічний детектив Жан-Крістофа Гранже в черговий раз підтверджує здатність автора тримати читача в напрузі до останньої сторінки. Події трилеру розгортаються на фоні розслідування загибелі курсанта авіаційної школи Парижу, схожої спочатку на нещасний випадок. Але чим далі просувається співробітник поліції і головний герой книги Ервін Морван у розкритті справи, тим моторошнішими стають подробиці. Адже почерк маніяка-вбивці дуже схожий на почерк «Людини – Цвяха», злочини якого досліджував глава клану Морванів. Сімейні інтриги з цього приводу сприймаються як контакт із «зміїним кублом». Особливо вражають викриті таємниці зі звичаїв французького бомонду та картини африканських звичаїв та обрядів. Страшна правда стає відомою у фіналі та тримає ще довго читача у напрузі.

Із перших рядків на сторінках роману розпочинається мова про вбивство високопоставленого чиновника — помічника губернатора Бенгалії. Підозра падає на терористів-революціонерів, оскільки у країні розпочався черговий етап національно-визвольного руху за незалежність Індії. Паралельно з убивством важливого посадовця здійснюється ще один важливий злочин — група бандитів нападає на поштово-пасажирський потяг, убивають охоронця але нічого не грабують і не викрадають. Обидва ці непрості злочини потрібно розслідувати і розкрити капітану Віндгему, від якого і оповідається у творі. І він успішно з цим упорався. Події в романі відбуваються у Калькутті за вісімнадцять років до проголошення в Індії незалежності від англійських колонізаторів.
