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.

The environment’s first responders In the pages of The Massive, Ninth Wave was struggling to repair a broken world. But before that, it was the preeminent global environmental-rescue unit, taking on criminals, polluters, politicians, and rogue states. Critically acclaimed writer Brian Wood and artist Garry Brown go back to the beginning with the Ninth Wave environmental action unit, sharing stories from the front lines of the eco-war in The Massive: Ninth Wave #1–#6, now collected in a beautiful hardcover perfect for any library collection. “A welcome look at a strong cast of characters who are at their peak, rather than suffering through the effects of a world gone mad.”—Comic Book Resources

Die Saat-Trilogie erstmals in einem Band. Enthält "Die Saat", "Das Blut" und "Die Nacht". Eine normale Nacht am John-F.-Kennedy- Flughafen in New York. Eine Maschine aus Europa landet – doch dann gehen alle Lichter aus, und der Funkkontakt bricht unvermittelt ab. Ephraim Goodweather, Chef der New Yorker Seuchenschutzbehörde, und sein Team betreten das Flugzeug, um die Lage zu klären, und finden ein Bild des Schreckens vor: Die Passagiere sitzen aufrecht in ihren Sesseln – tot. Noch ahnt Goodweather nicht, dass genau in diesem Augenblick das Böse nach New York gekommen ist, um von dort aus die ganze Welt zu erobern. Von diesem Augenblick an wird das Schicksal der Menschheit seinen Lauf nehmen ...

Det har gått två år sedan vampyrerna tog över och hela världen är nu på gränsen till förintelse. Atomvintern ligger som en filt över jordens yta och ständigt mörker råder. Solens strålar filtreras genom den förgiftade atmosfären endast under två timmar varje dag – en perfekt miljö för vampyrer att fortplanta sig i. De flesta människor har massutrotats av Mästaren, en uråldrig vampyr utrustad med fruktansvärda krafter. De människor som finns kvar är totalt undergivna och internerade i läger. Människorna är uppdelade i två grupper: de som föder upp fler människor och de som fungerar som föda åt Mästarens vampyrarmé. Människornas öde ligger i händerna på en brokig skara frihetskämpar – Doktor Eph Goodweather, före detta chef för Smittskyddsinstitutet, Doktor Nora Martinez, kollega med Eph och skicklig på att döda vampyrer, Vasiliy Fet, den färgstarke ryske råttutrotaren och Mr. Quinlan, Mästarens avkomma som är ute efter hämnd. Deras jobb är att hitta Ephs son, Zack, och rädda världen från undergång. Mitt i allt detta visar det sig att det troligen finns en förrädare ibland dem. Endast en man kan få Mästaren på fall, men är han rätt person att bära världens öde på sina axlar? Och vem av dem ska göra den ultimata uppoffringen och samtidigt rädda de andra? "Djävulskt bra läsning, full av skräck." Stephen King

De har alltid funnits bland oss – vampyrerna. I hemlighet och i mörker har de väntat på att deras tid ska komma, och nu är den äntligen här. Inom en vecka kommer Manhattan att vara utplånat. Inom tre månader resten av USA. Och inom sex månader: hela världen. En Boeing 777 från Berlin har precis landat på JFK-flygplatsen i New York när allting plötsligt svartnar. Kontrolltornet tappar kontakten med piloten och ingen aktivitet märks längre inifrån planet. En specialistgrupp tillkallas för att ta sig in i planet eftersom man fruktar att ett livsfarligt virus har spritt sig. Eph Goodweather blir förste man att kliva in genom flygplansdörren. Synen han möter chockar honom: livlösa människor ligger kringspridda överallt. Medan kropparna börjar transporteras iväg upptäcker man emellertid att fyra personer fortfarande lever och verkar vara nästan helt oskadda. Men inget är vad det ser ut att vara. Släktet är första delen i en trilogi om vampyrer. Berättelsen utspelar sig i New York, där ett virus förvandlar befolkningen till varelser som härstammar från forntiden. Berättelsen går oväntade vägar och varje bok innehåller unika och originella avslöjanden om den vampyriska rasen, vars rötter kan spåras ända tillbaka till Gamla Testamentets begynnelse. ”Del Toro och Hogan har skapat en härligt, ruggig berättelse som bokstavligen kommer att få dina nackhår att resa sig. Släktet är Bram Stoker möter Stephen King möter Michael Crichton. [...] Det kan knappast bli mycket bättre än så här.” Nelson DeMille ”Ha din hjärtmedicin inom räckhåll: det är mycket möjligt att Släktet smyger sig på dig - och den är tillräckligt otäck för att döda. Jag älskade den.” Gregory Maguire ”Den första boken i en trilogi som genomsyras av en trollbindande intrig. Det är en oförglömlig historia som man inte kan lägga ifrån sig när man väl har börjat. Jag kan knappt bärga mig innan nästa del kommer.” Clive Cussler ”Blod och världens undergång blandat i en skräckinjagande berättelse som känns som om den kunde vara hämtad från dagens nyhetslöpsedlar. [...] Jag längtar efter att se vart Del Toro och Hogan tar oss nästa gång.” James Rollins ”Jag kan bara säg ''wow''.[...] Släktet är en av de mest skrämmande och fasansfulla böcker jag har läst på mycket länge.” Borders ”De vampyrer jag kände till och älskade som barn är tillbaka. Denna skräckberättelse är bland de bästa jag har läst på länge.” Barnes & Noble

When a Boeing 777 lands at JFK International Airport and goes dark on the runway, the Center for Disease Control, fearing a terrorist attack, calls in Dr. Ephraim Goodweather and his team of expert biological-threat first responders. Only an elderly pawnbroker from Spanish Harlem suspects a darker purpose behind the event - an ancient threat intent on covering mankind in darkness. In one week, Manhattan will be gone. In one month, the country. In two months - the world.

Récemment rentré d''Irak, où il a appris l''art de tuer vite et bien, Neal Maven doit se contenter d''un boulot de gardien de parking. Un jour, Danielle Vetti, dont il était amoureux au lycée, débarque sur son lieu de travail au volant d''un SUV de luxe. Coup de chance, Brad Royce, le compagnon de Danielle, ancien combattant lui aussi, lui propose un job : rejoindre le groupe qu''il a formé pour vider les dealers des rues de Boston et garder leur argent une fois le coup réalisé. Pour Maven, difficile de résister à cette offre qui allie morale et récompense financière, en plus de lui rendre sa dignité. Il devient vite l''un des meilleurs justiciers du groupe. Bien sûr, cela ne fait pas le bonheur des trafiquants qui font appel à deux redoutables tueurs pour mettre fin à cette entreprise, ni celui de la Drug Enforcement Administration qui ne contrôle plus ce qui se passe dans le secteur. Et... qui sont vraiment Danielle Vetti et Brad Royce ?

Unable to kill the Master - the powerful vampire behind the epidemic infesting New York City - Dr. Ephraim Goodweather begins to self-destruct as battle lines are drawn. It''s now up to a handful of humans to stop an ancient evil from devouring the human race.

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.”

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.
