Hunting Eve by Iris Johansen
She’s broken free--but danger is in hot pursuit. And rescue is nowhere
in sight....Eve Duncan is on the run. Kidnapped by Jim Doane, a
mysterious man who wants her to complete a sinister forensic sculpture,
she now has no time to savor the victory of escaping from him. He’s back
on her trail and closing in fast. At the mercy of the Colorado
wilderness, she struggles to outwit and outrun him, but the odds are
stacked high in his favor.
Doane desperately needs Eve’s skill to
reconstruct the skull of his son - a sick and twisted killer who still
holds Doane in thrall from beyond the grave - and like a man possessed,
he refuses to let anything stand in his way. The CIA has its own reasons
for tracking Eve’s nemesis. And those closest to Eve - Joe Quinn and
Jane MacGuire - are doing everything in their power to rescue her, while
a hired gun named Lee Zander is on a personal mission to eliminate
Doane. But does that mean he can be trusted to save Eve? Zander’s
checkered history may be tied to Eve’s own past in a shocking way - or
he may be nothing more than another assassin with a long-standing grudge
and an overactive trigger finger.
Using everything from cutting-edge
technology to animal whisperers, the hunt for Eve is on. And the
hourglass is almost empty.
The King's Deception by Steve Berry
Cotton Malone Series Book # 8
Cotton Malone and his
fifteen-year-old son, Gary, are headed to Europe. As a favor to his
former boss at the Justice Department, Malone agrees to escort a teenage
fugitive back to England. But after he is greeted at gunpoint in
London, both the fugitive and Gary disappear, and Malone learns that
he’s stumbled into a high-stakes diplomatic showdown—an international
incident fueled by geopolitical gamesmanship and shocking Tudor secrets.
At its heart is the Libyan terrorist convicted of bombing Pan Am Flight
103, who is set to be released by Scottish authorities for
“humanitarian reasons.” An outraged American government objects, but
nothing can persuade the British to intervene.
Except, perhaps, Operation King’s Deception.
Run by the CIA, the operation aims to solve a centuries-old mystery,
one that could rock Great Britain to its royal foundations.
Blake Antrim, the CIA operative in charge of King’s Deception, is
hunting for the spark that could rekindle a most dangerous fire, the one
thing that every Irish national has sought for generations: a legal
reason why the English must leave Northern Ireland. The answer is a
long-buried secret that calls into question the legitimacy of the entire
forty-five-year reign of Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch, who
completed the conquest of Ireland and seized much of its land. But
Antrim also has a more personal agenda, a twisted game of revenge in
which Gary is a pawn. With assassins, traitors, spies, and dangerous
disciples of a secret society closing in, Malone is caught in a lethal
bind. To save Gary he must play one treacherous player against
another—and only by uncovering the incredible truth can he hope to
prevent the shattering consequences of the King’s Deception.

as the news of the battle of Bosworth is brought to Princess Elizabeth
of York, who will learn not only which rival royal house has triumphed,
Tudor or York, but also which suitor she must marry: Richard III her
lover, or Henry Tudor her enemy.
A princess from birth, Elizabeth
fell in love with Richard III, though her mother made an arranged
betrothal for her with the pretender to the throne: Henry Tudor. When
Henry defeats Richard against all odds, Elizabeth has to marry the man
who murdered her lover in battle, and create a new royal family with him
and his ambitious mother: Margaret Beaufort, The Red Queen. But, while
the new monarchy can win, it cannot, it seems, hold power in an England
which remembers the House of York with love.
The new king’s
greatest fear is that somewhere, outside England, a prince from the
House of York is waiting to invade and re-claim the throne for the house
of York. Fearing that none of his new allies can be trusted, Henry
turns to his wife to advise him, all the time knowing that her loyalties
must be divided. When the young man who would be king finally leads his
army and invades England, it is for Elizabeth to decide whether she
recognizes him as her brother and a claimant to the throne, or denies
him in favor of the husband she is coming to love.

farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past
too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone,
let alone a small boy.

on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable
ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly
