Simon and Vicky couldn’t seem more normal: a wealthy Chicago couple, he a respected law professor, she an advocate for domestic violence victims. A stable, if unexciting marriage.

When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky’s secrets begin to unravel. A secret whirlwind affair.

These are just a few of the lies that make up the complex web...and they will have devastating consequences. And while both Vicky and Simon are liars, just who exactly is conning who? Part Gone Girl, part Strangers on a Train, Look Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know.

As Chicago PD’s special-ops leader, Detective Billy Harney knows well that money is not the only valuable currency. The filthy rich man he’s investigating is down to his last twenty million. He’s also being held in jail.

For now.

Billy’s unit is called in when an escape plan results in officers down and inmates vanished.

In an empty lot, Billy spots two Kevlar vests. Two helmets. Two assault rifles. And a handwritten note:

Hi, Billy
Are you having fun yet?

Čikāgā kādā guļamistabā tiek atrasti trīs līķi

Billijam Hārnijam policista darbs ir dzīves aicinājums. Būdams Čikāgas galvenā detektīva dēls, Billijs vienmēr rīkojas strikti saskaņā ar likumu. Abi ar pārinieci Keitu, viņi ir gatavi upurēt jebko, lai tikai labāk paveiktu darbu. Tomēr Eimijai Lentini – centīgajai prokurores asistentei – ir radušās aizdomas, ka Billijs nav tik godīgs policists, par kādu izliekas.

Pazudusi melnā grāmatiņa

Kāda īpaši nežēlīga nozieguma izmeklēšana detektīvus aizved uz smalku bordeli, kuru apmeklē pilsētas bagātākie un ietekmīgākie ļaudis. Tiek uzieti dažādi inkriminējoši pierādījumi, tomēr trūkst paša svarīgākā – madāmas klientu saraksta. Pilsētas eliti satricina šoks, un ikviens cenšas atrast šo melno grāmatiņu.

Čikāgā vēl nekad nav bijis tik bīstami...

Kamēr Čikāgas elites sabiedrība nopūlas saraksta meklējumos, neviena motīviem uzticēties īsti nevar. “Melnā grāmatiņa” – atjautīgais trilleris par korupciju, varaskāri un noslēpumiem, kas var izraisīt pilsētas mēroga skandālu un, iespējams, iznīcināt arī ģimeni – ir Džeimsa Patersona viens no labākajiem romāniem pēdējo gadu laikā.

Džeimsam Patersonam pieder Ginesa Pasaules rekords par vislielāko skaitu #1 New York Times bestselleru, un pasaulē ir pārdoti vairāk nekā 350 miljoni eksemplāru viņa sarakstīto grāmatu.

For Detective Billy Harney, getting shot in the head, stalked by a state’s attorney, and accused of murder by his fellow cops is a normal week on the job. So when a drive-by shooting on the Chicago's west side turns political, he leads the way to a quick solve. But Harney's instincts -- his father was once chief of detectives and his twin sister, Patti, is also on the force -- run deep. As a population hungry for justice threatens to riot, he realizes that the three known victims are hardly the only casualties.

When Harney starts asking questions about who's to blame, the easy answers prove to be the wrong ones. On the flip side, the less he seems to know, the longer he can keep his clandestine investigation going ... until Harney's quest to expose the evil that's rotting the city from the inside out takes him to the one place he vowed never to return: his own troubled past.

FBI analyst Emmy Dockery's unique ability to uncover the patterns that others miss has brought her an impressive string of arrests. But a new case - unfolding across the country - has left her looking for something which may not exist.
The victims all appear to have died by accident, and seemingly have nothing in common. But this many deaths can't be a coincidence. Can they?
Emmy's instincts tell her this is the work of a terrifyingly intelligent serial killer - and she's determined to prove it. When her obsession with the crimes raises flags within the FBI, she's in danger of becoming a suspect herself.
But someone else is watching Dockery. Studying, learning, waiting. Until it's the perfect time to strike.

Kiedy pracownica FBI Emmy Dockery odkrywa brakujące ogniwo łączące setkę nierozwiązanych spraw, nikt jej nie wierzy. Do czasu, aż dowody stają się zbyt przekonujące, aby je ignorować…

Wszyscy myślą, że Emmy Dockery zwariowała. Owładnięta obsesją na punkcie odkrycia związku między setkami podejrzanych podpaleń, Emma rzuciła pracę badaczki w FBI. Teraz za dnia nieustannie ogląda porozwieszane po całej sypialni wycinki z gazet, a nocą przed oczami stają jej koszmary pochłaniającego wszystko ognia…

Nawet były chłopak Emmy, agent Harrison „Books” Bookman, nie wierzy, że setki porwań, gwałtów i morderstw są ze sobą powiązane. I nie uwierzy, dopóki Emmy nie znajdzie dowodów, których nie będzie mógł dłużej ignorować. Coraz więcej osób ginie w tajemniczych okolicznościach, wszystkie zbrodnie nie zostają rozwiązane. Bez motywów, bez narzędzi zbrodni, bez podejrzanych.

Czy to możliwe, aby za tymi okrutnymi morderstwami stała jedna osoba?

In the long-awaited follow-up to the #1 bestselling thriller INVISIBLE . . . the perfect murder always looks like an accident.

FBI agent Emmy Dockery is absolutely relentless. She's young and driven, and her unique skill at seeing connections others miss has brought her an impressive string of arrests.

But a shocking new case-unfolding across the country-has left her utterly baffled.

The victims all appear to have died by accident, and have seemingly nothing in common. But this many deaths can't be coincidence. And the killer is somehow one step ahead of every move Dockery makes. How?

To FBI special agent Harrison "Books" Bookman, everyone in the FBI is a suspect-particularly Emmy Dockery (the fact that she's his ex-fiancee doesn't make it easier).

But someone else is watching Dockery. Studying, learning, waiting. Until it's the perfect time to strike.

Teaming up with his adrenaline-junkie partner, Detective Kate Fenton, there's nothing he wouldn't sacrifice for his job. Enter Amy Lentini, a hard-charging assistant attorney hell-bent on making a name for herself who suspects Billy isn't the cop he claims to be. They're about to be linked by more than their careers.

Now with shock waves rippling through the city's elite, everyone's desperate to find it.

As Chicago's elite scramble to get their hands on the elusive black book, no one's motives can be trusted. An ingenious, inventive thriller about power, corruption, and the secrets that can destroy a city, The Black Book is James Patterson at his page-turning best.

Сотрудник полиции Билли Харни оказывается на волосок от смерти. Его напарница и возлюбленная мертва, а он чудесным образом остался в живых. Харни обвиняют в убийстве, но он ничего не помнит. Отчаянно пытаясь защитить свою честь, Билли собирает информацию про тот ужасный день. Он хочет понять, что же тогда произошло, и найти загадочную черную книжку…

How can you prove your innocence when you can't remember the crime?

Being a cop runs in Billy Harney's family. The son of Chicago's Chief of Detectives whose twin sister, Patty, also followed in their father's footsteps, there's nothing Billy won't give up for the job, including his life.

Left for dead alongside his tempestuous former partner and a hard-charging assistant district attorney out for blood, Billy miraculously survives. But he remembers nothing about the events leading up to the shootout.

Charged with double murder and desperate to clear his name, Billy retraces his steps to get to the bottom of what happened. When he discovers the existence of a little black book that everyone who's anyone in Chicago will stop at nothing to get their hands on, Billy suspects it contains the truth that will either set him free... or confirm his worst fears.

No. 7 Ocean Drive is a multimillion-dollar beachfront house in the Hamptons, but its beautiful exterior hides a horrific past. This house was the setting for a series of depraved killings that have never been solved. Neglected, empty and rumoured to be cursed, it's known as the Murder House, and locals keep their distance.

Detective Jenna Murphy has moved to the area to escape her troubled past and rehabilitate a career on the rocks. But when a Hollywood power broker and his mistress are found dead in the abandoned Murder House, Jenna becomes involved in a case that at first seems open and shut, but reveals more secrets than she could possibly imagine.

As more bodies surface and Jenna is drawn deeper into the dark history of No. 7, she must risk her own life to expose the truth – before the Murder House claims another victim.
