Джеффри Дивер4.2 Линкольн Райм возвращается - для того, чтобы вступить в борьбу со страшным миром китайской организованной преступности.
Американское правительство ставит перед Раймом практически невыполнимую задачу, но криминалист вместе со своей напарницей Амелией Сакс определяет местонахождение грузового корабля, который перевозит двадцать пять нелегальных иммигрантов из Китая, а также находит знаменитого перевозчика живого груза и убийцу по кличке Призрак.
Однако задержание Призрака оборачивается катастрофой, и Линкольн и Амелия вступают в гонку со временем: необходимо остановить Призрака до того, как он успеет найти и убить две спасшиеся семьи иммигрантов, которые затерялись в лабиринтах китайских кварталов Нью-Йорка.
В течение сорока восьми часов Призрак ведет безжалостную охоту за иммигрантами, а тем временем Райм при содействии полицейского из Китая пытается найти их первым. Между тем Сакс выполняет несвойственную для нее работу, при этом, устанавливая тесный контакт с одним из иммигрантов, что, возможно, скажется на ее отношениях с Линкольном Раймом, ее напарником и возлюбленным.
В романе "Каменная обезьяна" Дивер возвращается к любимым героям и в очередной раз демонстрирует свой безграничный талант. Напряженным действием, совершенно непредсказуемыми поворотами сюжета, захватывающим динамизмом эта книга в очередной раз напоминает нам, почему журнал "Таймc" провозгласил Дивера "лучшим писателем психологических триллеров в мире".
Эйс Аткинс0.0 The plan was simple. All Nick Travers had to do was drive up Highway 61 from New Orleans to Memphis and track down the lost brother of one of his best friends. But as Travers knows, these simple jobs seldom turn out smoothly.
Эдди Мюллер0.0 It's 1948, an era when newspapermen were stars -- and San Francisco sportswriter Billy Nichols is no exception. Known as Mr. Boxing throughout the city, he is the West Coast's answer to Damon Runyon -- an insider's insider who plucks and polishes his pearllike stories from the nonstop hustle of the city's nightclubs, gambling dens, and ringside seats. Billy Nichols is right where he wants to be, until he stumbles onto a shocking crime scene. Heavyweight boxer Hack Escalante has killed his manager, and for reasons Billy doesn't fully understand, he makes a spur-of-the-moment decision to protect the prizefighter. Soon Billy's in too deep, caught in a conspiracy of desire, deceit, and betrayal, and he sets off a chain of events whose consequences may cost him his beloved career -- and his life.
As Billy himself struggles to escape suspicion, he must square off against relentless police detective Francis O'Connor, carry on business as usual with his colorful cronies in the boxing world, and resist his overwhelming passion for a woman he dare not love.
Billy soon discovers that he's not the only yarn spinner in this nefarious netherworld: many of the characters inhabiting his well-honed newspaper columns have crafted their own alternative life stories, hiding scores of secrets. Whose story will emerge as "truth"?
As richly ambient as James Ellroy's "L.A. Confidential," this debut novel brilliantly brings to life another time -- when pride and professionalism are sometimes more important than life itself.

Джонатон Кинг4.0 The Edgar Award–winning debut of the bestselling Max Freeman mystery series: A tormented ex-cop’s mission to solve a grisly murder and earn redemption for his dark past
After a shootout during a convenience store holdup led to the accidental death of a twelve-year-old, Max Freeman left behind the Philadelphia police department for a life in exile in the Florida Everglades. Since then, he has lived in seclusion, haunted by guilt, with the humid night and the nocturnal predators of the swamp as his only company. But everything changes when Freeman discovers a young girl’s body floating in the muddy waters and becomes the prime suspect for her murder. To prove his innocence, Freeman must uncover the real murderer—and confront his own tortured soul—before it’s too late.
Дэвид Розенфелт0.0 "There is nothing like a golden retriever. I know, I know, it's a big planet with a lot of wonderful things, but golden retrievers are the absolute best. Mine is named Tara . . . The only problem she has ever caused is that I spend so much time with her in the mornings that I am almost invariably late for work."
Whether dueling with new forensics or the local old boys' network, irreverent defense attorney Andy Carpenter always leaves them awed with his biting wit and winning fourth-quarter game plan. But Andy prefers the company of his best friend, Tara, to the people he encounters in the courtroom. Tara, a golden retriever, is clearly smarter than half the lawyers who clog the courts of Passaic County. However, just as it seems Andy has everything figured out, his dad, New Jersey's legendary ex-D.A., drops dead in front of him at a game in Yankee Stadium. The shocks pile on as he discovers his dad left him with two unexpected legacies: a fortune of $22 million that Andy never knew existed . . . and a murder case with enough racial tinder to burn down City Hall. Struggling to serve justice and bring honor to his father, Andy must dig up some explosive political skeletons - and an astonishing family secret that can close his case (and his mouth) for good

What they discover is a world of trouble, an attraction to each other—and murder...
