Jack Reacher
#20
Язык книги: Английский
“Why is this town called Mother’s Rest?” That’s all Reacher wants to know. But no one will tell him. It’s a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal.Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there’s something about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long he’s plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way—right back to where he started, in Mother’s Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine.Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reacher’s rule is: If you want me to stop, you’re going to have to make me.

From award-winning author Gary A. Braunbeck comes Prodigal Blues, his first foray into non-supernatural horror.After he finds himself stranded at a truck stop in Missouri, Mark Sieber gets one of the biggest shocks of his life when he recognizes the face of a little girl on a Missing poster as belonging to the same little girl he saw only a few minutes before. Looking around for some sign of her, he comes back to his table in the restaurant to find the little sitting there, waiting for him."I'm sorry, mister," is all she seems capable of saying.As the police and media begin to converge on the truck stop, Mark retreats back to his hotel room to call his wife and let her know what's going on, only to be taken hostage by the same people who released the little girl. But his abductors are little more than children themselves.Ranging in ages from 12 to 19, Mark's abductors are in the process of escaping from a sadistic pedophile known to them only as "Grendel" a man whose practices include torture and mutilation specifically, mutilation of the face.Mark's abductors have all been mutilated by Grendel who may be very close behind them and need someone with a "normal face" to help them carry out their plan for justice and returning home.For the next few days, Mark will come to understand not only the inhuman horror that these children have suffered, but how they eventually learned to fight back and how they discovered that Grendel and his practices are at the center of a very complex network catering to those who tastes run toward the molestation and mutilation of children.Prodigal Blues is perhaps Braunbeck's most suspenseful and emotionally powerful work to date; a story of suffering, depravity, redemption, and in the end the individual's compassion for his or her fellow human beings that can lead some people to finding reserves of courage and determination they never thought they possessed.Terrifying, suspenseful, sometimes surprisingly funny, and ultimately moving, Prodigal Blues is quintessential Braunbeck.

Three unconnected crimes are about to be linked in the most chilling way imaginable. The abduction of a teenage girl, heading towards a bus stop. A woman shot, point-blank during a brutal robbery. A young man tortured, his body found wrapped in barbed wire.
With nothing to indicate that the three are connected, NYPD detective Tom Harper and psychologist Denise Levene must look beyond the surface to find a killer's true motivation. And they believe that they have found a murderer conditioned to hate and willing to go to any lengths to make his victims suffer.
The killer has nothing to lose. Harper and Levene have one chance to catch him. Sometimes hate is just the beginning…

Язык книги: Английский
When Homicide Detective Jacob Striker discovers a torture chamber in a steel barn down by the river, he is propelled into an investigation that leads to two mysterious bombers. Every few hours, another victim is targeted, located - and then blown to smithereens.
Very quickly, Striker realizes the attacks are not random. But one obvious question remains: Why? With people dying at an alarming rate, Striker desperately searches for an answer to this question. When he discovers it, a stark coldness fills him. For he begins to understand. The reason leads back to a police file that is now ten years old. To a dark and dangerous place across the seas. And to one of Striker's oldest mentors and dearest friends. With time running out, Striker must catch the two bombers before they finish the job and complete their kill list. Otherwise there will be little left for Jacob Striker to save. Little left, but dust and bones.

Ставки высоки. Напряжённая гонка со временем трёх самых неожиданных героев из когда-либо созданных Кингом, которые попытаются остановить убийцу-одиночку, собирающегося взорвать тысячи людей.
В холодные предрассветные часы в городе на Среднем Западе сотни отчаявшихся безработных людей выстраиваются в очередь за место на ярмарке вакансий. Внезапно, одинокий водитель едет сквозь толпу на угнанном Мерседесе, давя невинных людей. Восемь человек погибли, пятнадцать ранены. Убийце удаётся скрыться.
В другой части города, несколько месяцев спустя, отставному полицейскому по имени Билл Ходжес по-прежнему не даёт покоя нераскрытое преступление. Когда он получает безумное письмо от неизвестного, который называет себя "дерзкий" и угрожает ещё более дьявольской атакой, Ходжес выходит из депрессии и становится одержимым идеей предотвращения ещё одной трагедии.
Брэди Хартфилд живёт со своей матерью-алкоголичкой в доме, где он родился. Ему очень понравилось чувствовать смерть под колёсами Мерседеса, и он снова хочет это повторить. Только Билл Ходжес с парой очень сомнительных союзников может задержать убийцу прежде, чем он нанесёт новый удар. И им нельзя терять время, потому что следующая "миссия" Брэди, если удастся, погубит тысячи...

Вопиющие преступления нацистов в годы Второй мировой войны в отношении «недочеловеков», как они называли евреев, возмутили даже гангстеров из американской мафии.

И вот группа боевиков, в которую входил и ликвидатор Маус из нью-йоркской «Корпорации убийц», принадлежавшей преступному синдикату Мейера Лански и Лаки Лучано, отправляется в заморский вояж, чтобы отбить у нацистов поезд с «человеческим материалом», следовавшим прямиком в газовые камеры лагерей смерти.

Columbine. Dunblane. Virginia Tech. Winnenden. But Saint Patrick's High? In his first hour back from a six-month leave of absence, Detective Jacob Striker's day quickly turns into a nightmare. He is barely on scene five minutes at his daughter's high school when he encounters an Active Shooter situation. Three men wearing hockey masks - Black, White, and Red - have stormed the school with firearms and are killing indiscriminately. Striker takes immediate action. Within minutes, two of the gunmen are dead and Striker is close to ending the violence. But the last gunman, Red Mask, does something unexpected. He runs up to his fallen comrade, racks the shotgun, and unloads five rounds into the man, obliterating his face and hands. Before Striker can react, Red Mask flees - and escapes. Against the clock, Striker investigates the killings for which there is no known motive and no known suspect. Soon his investigation takes him to darker places, and he realizes that everything at Saint Patrick's High is not as it appears. The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous his world becomes. Until Striker himself is in the line of fire. And the violence follows him home.

"You try to walk in this town, you hear footsteps behind you—it's like the sound of grenades. A walk in Chicago after dark is a combat mission." This is the story of Paul Benjamin, a man obsessed with revenge and private justice. Revenge against the criminals—the muggers, the murderers, and the rapists who prey on the innocent and the helpless. Death Sentence is the continuing saga of the hero of Death Wish, an ordinary man driven to vigilantism by the brutal rape and murder of his wife and daughter. When Paul moves to Chicago to get away from his past, he knows he is going to continue his violent and private war. He also knows this time he might get caught. What he does not expect is to fall in love with a beautiful woman who is more dangerous to him than the men he stalks.

When Homicide Detective Jacob Striker discovers that a string of recent suicides might actually be covered-up murders, his investigation quickly leads him to the Riverglen Mental Health Facility.

When Striker discovers Larisa Logan - a dear friend of his, and a patient of Ostermann - has gone missing, his investigation goes into overdrive. Time is running out. And the evidence tells him one very important fact: that Larisa knows something about the murders. Racing against time and a chilling adversary, Striker searches desperately for Larisa. It is a dangerous game they play. Where one right step can catapult you to a place of dominance - and one wrong step can leave you sliding to your doom. It is a game of psychopaths. It is Snakes & Ladders.

В подвале послышался какой-то шорох. Эдвард? Он что, тоже в подвале? Его тоже столкнули с лестницы? Нет, в этом не было никакого смысла, никакой логики. Но люди не всегда поступают логически и совершают иногда бессмысленные вещи. У меня раскалывалась голова, и я слегка сжала виски руками. Тут же почувствовала под руками что-то влажное и липкое. Это была кровь!
