An unputdownable reissued thriller, from the best-selling author of Icarus and Aphrodite

After East Hampton, New York, is hit by a terrorist bombing, local cop Justin Westwood discovers that someone is targeting specific people to murder, and disguising these actions with what appear to be "suicide bombings," in this latest work by the bestselling author of "Aphrodite."

Justin Westwood has retreated from reality by taking a menial post with the police department in Long Island. Mindless traffic duty and a lot of booze stop him reliving the past, but his dormant professionalism is reluctantly awakened when he realises that the death of a young journalist is deliberate not accidental. As he retraces the woman's movements in the hours before her death he learns she's been in trouble for quoting some erroneous facts in an obituary of a man who had been living in the local old people's home. Not the sort of mistake which normally brings a duo of professional hitmen to the door of a fallible reporter, and certainly not one which brings the FBI into town. As he attempts to unravel the puzzle he finds someone is a step ahead of him, disposing of witnesses and setting him up for the rap. Realising he has to face real life at its starkest if he is to survive, he goes solo - though if he'd known what was in store he'd have stuck to handing out parking tickets.A thriller of such tension and action that it should come with its own oxygen supply.

Gideon - Identita, která je zahalena tajemstvím -anonymní zdroj, který drží klíč k velkému tajemství. Na tajné schůzce, je spisovatel Carl Granville najat, aby ze stránek starého deníku, dopisů a dokumentů vytvořil přesvědčivou fikci. Nesmí, ale použít žádná skutečná jména ani místa. Za to dostane čtvrt milionu dolarů. Nikdy to, ale nesmí prozradit živé duši. Jakmile je zásoben informacemi a jeho práce postupuje , Granville si začíná uvědomovat, že kniha Gideon je víc, než jen potenciální bestseller. Je to zjevení zla a desítky let trvajícího krytí někým, kdo má dalekosáhlou moc. Začíná se bát. K jakému účelu bude jeho kniha použita? Kolik životů ovlivní a ohrozí? Co za pravdu skrývá příběh - a kdo je jeho vypravěč?
