A Ogni Costo
“Tra i migliori del genere thriller. Gli appassionati, che amano gustarsi la precisa creazione di un thriller internazionale ma che sono anche alla ricerca di uno spessore psicologico e di un protagonista realistico costretto ad affrontare sfide sia sul terreno professionale che su quello private, troveranno A OGNI COSTO una storia avvincente, difficile da abbandonare.” –Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (su A ogni costo) “Uno dei migliori thriller che ho letto quest’anno. La trama è intelligente e accattivante fin dalle prime pagine. L’autore ha fatto un lavoro superbo nel creare una serie di personaggi che vi piaceranno. Non vedo l’ora di leggere il seguito.” –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (su A ogni costo) Quando una notte degli jihadisti rubano del materiale radioattivo da un ospedale non custodito di New York, la polizia, in una frenetica corsa contro il tempo, chiama l’FBI. E Luke Stone, capo di un dipartimento speciale e segreto interno all’FBI, è l’unico a cui possono rivolgersi. Luke capisce subito che l’obiettivo dei terroristi è creare una bomba sporca, che colpiranno un luogo importante per gli Stati Uniti, e che agiranno entro le prossime 48 ore. Segue una serrata caccia al topo, che vede in contrapposizione i più geniali agenti governativi contro i terroristi più sofisticati. Prova dopo prova e scontro dopo scontro, l’agente Stone non ci mette molto a scoprire di essersi trovato in mezzo a una cospirazione vastissima, il cui obiettivo è ancor più importante e iconico di quanto potesse immaginare – il presidente degli Stati Uniti. Con Luke incastrato per il crimine, la sua squadra minacciata e la sua stessa famiglia in pericolo, la posta in gioco non potrebbe essere più alta. Ma in quanto ex commando delle forze speciali, Luke si è trovato in posizioni difficili anche in passato, e non mollerà finché non riuscirà a fermarli – a ogni costo e con ogni mezzo.

Un’Impresa da Eroi
"Wartka akcja, która wciąga od pierwszego rozdziału do samego końca" -Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan "Perełka wśród thrillerów i powieści detektywistycznych! Autor tak doskonale przedstawił rozwój psychologiczny bohaterów, że czujemy się, jakbyśmy byli w stanie zajrzeć w ich umysły, poczuć ich strach i radować się ich zwycięstwem. Akcja jest bardzo inteligentnie skonstruowana i trzyma przez cały czas w napięciu. Ta książka jest tak pełna zwrotów akcji, że nie odłożysz jej dopóki nie przewrócisz ostatniej strony." –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos Na obrzeżach stanu Virginia pojawiają się martwe ciała kobiet zamordowanych w dziwaczny sposób. Przybyli na miejsce agenci FBI są w szoku. To robota seryjnego mordercy, który działa coraz szybciej. Wiedzą, że tylko jedna osoba może rozwiązać tę sprawę: agent specjalny Riley Paige. Riley jest akurat na zwolnieniu, próbując wrócić do formy po traumatycznych przejściach z ostatnim mordercą. Jest w nie najlepszym stanie i FBI niechętnie sięga po pomoc jej genialnego umysłu. Jednak Riley, chcąc zwalczyć własne demony, wkracza do akcji, a jej śledztwo prowadzi przez niepokojące nisze kolekcjonerów lalek, domy rodzin dotkniętych tragedią, aż do najciemniejszych zakamarków umysłu zabójcy. Odkrywając kolejne wątki, Riley uświadamia sobie, że ma do czynienia z mordercą dużo bardziej skrzywionym psychicznie, niż mogła sobie wyobrazić. Prowadząc nieustanny wyścig czasem, Riley staje na granicy własnych możliwości, ryzykuje utratę pracy, ściąga niebezpieczeństwo na własną rodzinę, a jej psychika chce dać za wygraną. Po raz kolejny jednak Riley decyduje się wziąć sprawę. Nie che się poddać. Ma obsesję, która wiedzie ją w najciemniejsze zaułki jej własnego umysłu, zacierając granice pomiędzy łowcą i ofiarą. Po serii niespodziewanych zwrotów akcji, instynkt doprowadza ją do szokującego rozwiązania, którego nawet sama Riley nie byłaby w stanie przewidzieć. „Zaginiona”, ciemny thriller psychologiczny z atmosferą napięcia zapierającą dech w piersiach, to debiut wciągającej serii – oraz nowej ulubionej postaci – które sprawią, że nie będziesz w stanie oderwać się od książki. Druga książka z serii o Riley Page już w sprzedaży!
