Дэвид Эллис — новинки

ЛОЖЬ, СКРЫВАЮЩАЯ ЛОЖЬ Саймон и Вики Добиас — богатая, благополучная семья из Чикаго. Он — уважаемый преподаватель права, она — защитница жертв домашнего насилия. Спокойная, счастливая семейная жизнь. Но на самом деле все абсолютно не так, как кажется. На поверхности остается лишь то, что они хотят показать людям. И один из них вполне может оказаться…

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. But one thing’s for sure … absolutely nothing is what it seems. The pair are far from normal, and one of them just may be a killer. 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. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and obsession with revenge. 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…
