New Releases by Chuck Hogan

The incredible true story of a group of moms who, united by a search for new purpose, attempt to solve a fifteen-year-old double murder. “An instant true crime classic.”—Douglas Century, author of The Last Boss of Brighton A lot of us like to think we could solve a mystery. Can these four moms actually do it? In 2020, Marissa, Jeannie, Samira, and Nicole find themselves at a familiar crossroads: when motherhood takes charge of their lives, they begin grappling with their own identities. Their thriving careers seem like a lifetime ago, and as their children become more independent, they struggle to find purpose. But when they meet at a bowling night fundraiser for their kids’ school, they discover a shared interest in true crime that crystalizes around a mysterious double homicide that took place in their hometown a decade earlier: A couple in their 60s vanished overnight from their home and mysteriously shuttered their family business, leaving millions of dollars unaccounted for. Initially believed to have absconded with the money, they went from suspects to victims when their bodies were discovered in their car at the bottom of a steep ravine. And then the case turned cold. But what if the moms could solve it? What if they could bring a killer to justice and give closure to a grieving family? The four women have no connection to the case and no law-enforcement background, but the determined group find themselves in incredible and often dangerous situations–digging for evidence in prohibited ravines, scouring potential crime scenes for blood splatter, and sifting through pages and pages of dense police files. As they get more and more entangled in this complex investigation, they also find themselves in real danger—and with information that could blow the case wide open. An emotional and often terrifying odyssey through a DIY criminal investigation, The Carpool Detectives is the ultimate wish fulfillment for any true crime fanatic, an absolutely thrilling read for armchair sleuths and mystery fans alike.

In this "masterly" thriller from the acclaimed author of The Town, the right‑hand man of one of the most infamous mob bosses in American history goes on a dangerous mission (New York Times Book Review). In the late 1970s, The Outfit, led by Tony Accardo, has the entire city of Chicago in its grip. When the bracelet he bought his wife is stolen in a jewelry heist, Tony has his loyal soldier Nicky Passero track it down—by whatever means necessary. What Accardo doesn't know: Nicky has a secret which has made his life impossible and has put him in the pocket of the FBI. Based on the true story of Tony Accardo, the longest‑reigning mob capo in history, Gangland is a Shakespearean drama of integrity, lost honor, and revenge. Gritty and action‑packed, it is Chuck Hogan's most thrilling novel yet. 2023 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel and a New York Times Best Crime Novel of 2022

Après une enquête qui a mal tourné, Odessa Hardwicke est mise à pied. Dévastée, la jeune agent du FBI n’est pourtant pas en cause. Sur la piste d’un meurtrier avec son collègue, elle se voit obligée de commettre l’irréparable. Mais ce qui la choque le plus n’est pas d’avoir fait usage de son arme, c’est la présence ténébreuse qu’elle pense avoir vu quitter le corps de sa victime. En attendant des jours meilleurs, Odessa accepte une mission à New York. Cette affectation a priori sans intérêt la met sur la piste d’un personnage mystérieux, Hugo Blackwood. Qui est cet homme ? Un simple fou ou le meilleur espoir de l’humanité face à un mal indicible ?

A horrific crime that defies explanation, a rookie FBI agent in uncharted territory, and an extraordinary hero for the ages: an investigation spirals out of control in this heart-pounding thriller. Odessa Hardwicke's life is derailed when she's forced to turn her gun on her partner, Walt Leppo, a decorated FBI agent who turns suddenly, inexplicably violent while apprehending a rampaging murderer. The shooting, justified by self-defense, shakes the young FBI agent to her core. Devastated, Odessa is placed on desk leave pending a full investigation. But what most troubles Odessa isn't the tragedy itself -- it's the shadowy presence she thought she saw fleeing the deceased agent's body after his death. Questioning her future with the FBI and her sanity, Hardwicke accepts a low-level assignment to clear out the belongings of a retired agent in the New York office. What she finds there will put her on the trail of a mysterious figure named Hugo Blackwood, a man of enormous means who claims to have been alive for centuries, and who is either an unhinged lunatic, or humanity's best and only defense against unspeakable evil. From the authors who brought you The Strain Trilogy comes a strange, terrifying, and darkly wondrous world of suspense, mystery, and literary horror. The Hollow Ones is a chilling, spell-binding tale, a hauntingly original new fable from Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro and bestselling author Chuck Hogan featuring their most fascinating character yet.

Suite et fin de The Strain, la série horrifique signée David Lapham et Mike Huddleston, d'après un roman de Guillermo del Toro. Une gigantesque conspiration empêche le professeur Ephraïm Goodweather de révéler au monde ce qu'il a découvert : une terrible épidémie se répand à Manhattan et transforme les habitants en vampires ! Mais la solution pour enrayer le phénomène est d'affronter les créatures ancestrales qui en sont à l'origine.

Sono trascorsi due anni da quando il virus diffuso dai vampiri ha invaso il mondo, ormai sull¿orlo della distruzione. Il Padrone, il potentissimo capo degli strigoi, dopo aver annientato qualunque forma di resistenza da parte degli umani, ha rinchiuso in vasti campi di prigionia i sopravvissuti e ne ha selezionati alcuni per la produzione di sangue o come schiavi per svolgere lavori di manovalanza. Persino l¿ambiente viene modificato: una coltre di ceneri nucleari ricopre infatti il pianeta Terra, dove regna quasi sempre l¿oscurità e il sole si scorge appena per poche ore al giorno. La resistenza è guidata da una banda improvvisata di combattenti liberi che, sebbene accomunati dall¿unico scopo di scongiurare l¿apocalisse, formano un gruppo alquanto disgregato: Ephraim Goodweather, capo dell¿Ente controllo e prevenzione malattie infettive, è impegnato nella ricerca del figlio Zack, rapito dalla madre Kelly, cambiata in vampiro; la dottoressa Nora Martinez, una sua ex collega, è preoccupata per le sorti dell¿anziana madre e sentimentalmente indecisa tra Ephraim e il disinfestatore russo Vasiliy Fet; il misterioso signor Quinlan, il vampiro bastardo, persegue invece un obiettivo tutto suo. Le creature del male sembrano avere vinto su tutti i fronti e lo strapotere del Padrone appare invincibile, ma anche lui ha un punto debole, sebbene siano in pochi a conoscerlo. Solo un uomo è in grado di approfittarne, ma ci si può fidare di lui? Epica conclusione della trilogia ¿Nocturna¿, che ha tenuto i lettori con il fiato sospeso, Notte eterna è una storia di pura adrenalina, tra scenari cupi e spiazzanti, in cui pochi eroi di tragica grandezza tengono alta la fiamma della speranza per aggiudicarsi l¿ultima, imprevedibile mano di una partita decisiva.

“The most credible and frightening of all the vampire books of the past decade.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Bram Stoker meets Stephen King meets Michael Crichton. It just doesn’t get much better than this.” —Nelson DeMille The stunning New York Times bestselling vampire saga that author Dan Simmons (Drood, The Terror) calls, “an unholy spawn of I Am Legend out of ‘Salem’s Lot,” concludes with The Night Eternal. The magnificent, if monstrously warped brainchild of cinematic horror master Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) and Chuck Hogan—whose novel Prince of Thieves, was praised as, “one of the 10 best books of the year” by Stephen King—The Night Eternal begins where The Strain and The Fall left off: with the last remnants of humankind enslaved by the vampire masters in a world forever shrouded by nuclear winter. Still, a small band of the living fights on in the shadows, in the final book of the ingenious dark fantasy trilogy that Newsweek says is, “good enough to make us break that vow to swear off vampire stories.”

At New York’s JFK Airport, an arriving Boeing 777 taxiing along a runway suddenly stops dead. All the shades have been drawn, all communication channels have mysteriously gone quiet. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of a CDC rapid-response team investigating biological threats, boards the darkened plane—–and what he finds makes his blood run cold. A terrifying contagion has come to the unsuspecting city, an unstoppable plague that will spread like all-consuming wildfire—–lethal, merciless, hungry . . . vampiric. And in a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, an aged Holocaust survivor knows that the war he has been dreading his entire life is finally here. In one week, Manhattan will be gone. In one month, the country. In two months . . . the world.

Secondo episodio della trilogia "Nocturna" dopo La progenie, La caduta è un thriller avvincente e cinematografico, ricco di azione e suspense, che conferma le notevoli doti dei due autori di intrattenitori del grande pubblico.

Guillermo del Toro, diretor do aclamado O labirinto do fauno, e Chuck Hogan, apontado por Stephen King como um dos dez melhores escritores de suspense da atualidade, estão de volta com A queda – segundo volume da surpreendente e aterradora trilogia iniciada com Noturno. Depois que um devastador ataque de vampiros tomou de assalto a cidade de Nova York, a pandemia se espalha rapidamente pelo globo. Um pequeno grupo de heróis luta para salvar a raça humana da extinção. Horror, suspense e fantasia carregada em tintas noir dão o ritmo eletrizante deste épico, descrito como o 'encontro de Bram Stoker com Stephen King e Michael Crichton'. Nadando contra a corrente do gênero atual, no qual os vampiros são mostrados com inclinações românticas ou como heróis de almas atormentadas, Guillermo del Toro e Chuck Hogan os apresentam como monstros desagradáveis, parasitas com um apetite insaciável por sangue humano. Desta vez, a praga que começou no aeroporto de Nova York continua a se espalhar pelo mundo. Há relatos de vírus nas principais cidades do mundo: Londres, Pequim, Tóquio, Lisboa. A queda mostra um pouco mais da linhagem que gerou o vírus, e a guerra de poder travada entre os Velhos e os Novos vampiros. No centro do conflito, encontra-se um livro com textos fundadores da história da raça e seus segredos mais obscuros. Quem encontrá-lo ganha a guerra e, em última instância, dita o destino da humanidade. Em meio a duas forças devastadoras, encontra-se o homem, reduzido a mero alimento numa guerra diabólica. Desta vez, o Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, seu filho Zack, a Dr. Nora Martinez, o velho Abraham Setrakian e Vasiliy Fet recebem o apoio improvável de Gus Elizade e sua gangue de caça-vampiros. Juntos, este estranho grupo tem que enfrentar o terror que se alastra. Eles são obrigados a tomar decisões difíceis, quando encontram rostos conhecidos dominados pelo vírus.

From the authors of the instant New York Times bestseller, The Strain, comes the next volume in one of the most imaginative and frightening thriller series in many, many years Last week they invaded Manhattan. This week they will destroy the world. The vampiric virus unleashed in The Strain has taken over New York City. It is spreading and soon will envelop the globe. Amid the chaos, Eph Goodweather—head of the Centers for Disease Control's team—and the former professor and Holocaust survivor Abraham Setrakian lead a band out to stop these bloodthirsty monsters. But it may be too late.

The tension-filled sequel to THE STRAIN, now a popular Amazon TV show.

A film tie-in edition of The Prince of Thieves, now a major motion picture called The Town directed by Ben Affleck

From the author Jeffery Deaver calls “smart, speedy, and stylish,” this Boston-based thriller was the basis for the film The Town and features an Iraq war veteran who gets involved with dangerous, big-time drug dealers. Neal Maven returns to Boston from his tour in Iraq only to discover that the country he vowed to protect has little use for him now. The men and women who remained Stateside are years ahead of him both personally and professionally, which embitters him and pushes him toward his breaking point. And then he meets Brad Royce. Royce is everything Maven wants to be: a fellow vet, charismatic, and confident, principled, wealthy, and with a beautiful woman on his arm. Not just any beautiful woman, but Danielle Vetti—the most stunning girl from Maven’s high school. Literally, the girl of his dreams. Royce offers Maven a much-needed job, and Maven soon finds himself a part of Royce’s team of “sugar bandits,” a group of fellow veterans who use their military skills to intercept major drug deals, taking the dirty money while destroying the product—a get-rich scheme with a clear moral imperative. Though exceedingly dangerous and certainly illegal, the efforts of these modern-day Robin Hoods provide Maven with the adrenaline charge he’s craved since his decommission. Besides, Maven can’t resist the chance to be in Danielle’s orbit once again. Suddenly, Maven’s life is better than he ever thought possible: a soldier in a civilian’s world, he is once again able to do something he excels at and rediscovers the camaraderie he’s sorely lacked since his return. He can get into any club, eat at any restaurant, be with any woman he wants—except, of course, his dream girl. It’s almost too good to be true. In fact, it is too good to be true when Maven learns that nothing is as it seems, but he’s in too deep and can see no way out…

Um Boeing 747 vindo de Berlim à Nova York, e, subitamente, para na pista com todas as cortinas abaixadas, luzes apagadas e o sistema de comunicação em pane. Uma equipe de emergência cerca o avião e observa, incrédula, que a cabine é similar a um túmulo onde todos parecem mortos. O alarme se transforma em terror quando se descobre que este misterioso acontecimento é apenas o primeiro de uma assustadora invasão que se estenderá por todo o planeta e dá início a uma sangrenta batalha entre homens e vampiros. Assim começa Noturno, primeiro livro da Trilogia da Escuridão, do cineasta mexicano Guillermo Del Toro, responsável pelo aclamado O labirinto do Fauno, em parceria com o norte-americano Chuck Hogan, apontado por Stephen King como um dos dez melhores escritores de suspense da atualidade. Juntos, eles criaram uma obra épica sem precedentes, aterradora e vertiginosa, na qual se revelam, pela primeira vez, detalhes surpreendentes sobre esses seres obscuros e fascinantes, desde suas origens bíblicas até o funcionamento de sua anatomia e genética. Transformando a invasão dos vampiros num ataque viral que não escolhe suas vítimas, uma pandemia mundial capaz de pôr em risco a espécie humana, Noturno mantém um ritmo crescente que leva a um clímax arrebatador e deixa os leitores ávidos pela continuação da história, à espera do segundo livro da trilogia.
