Oliver Stone and the Camel Club are back in their most dangerous adventure yet in David Baldacci's Stone Cold. Casino king Jerry Bagger is hunting Annabelle Conroy who conned him out of millions. Stone and his colleagues marshal all their resources to protect Annabelle. Yet all their skills may not be enough when a deadly new opponent rips off the veneer of Stone's own mysterious past. Bagger's menace pales next to newcomer Harry Finn's lethality. Seeming a normal family-man, Finn has already killed three men with more targets to come. When Finn also sets his bulls-eye on Stone, his reason why will be the greatest shock of all. As bodies and institutions topple, the Stone Cold rockets toward a shattering finale that will leave the survivors of this explosive tale changed forever. Publishers Weekly gives Stone Cold a starred review, calling it "gripping, chilling, and full of surprises."
NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas continues to keep the streets of a near-future New York City safe in Creation in Death by J. D. Robb. But even she makes mistakes, and is haunted by those she couldn't save-and the killers she couldn't capture. When the body of a young brunette is found in East River Park, artfully positioned and marked by signs of prolonged and painful torture, Eve is catapulted back to a case nine years earlier. The city was on edge from a killing spree that took the lives of four women in fifteen days, courtesy of a man the media tagged "The Groom" because he put silver rings on the fingers of his victims. When it turns out that the young brunette was employed by Eve's billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him in on the case-a move that proves fitting when it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made his attack personal. Publishers Weekly states that Creation in Death "offers a satisfyingly novel mélange of suspense, sex, forensics and heroics."
