When Shan Tao Yun and his old friend Lokesh are abruptly dragged away by Public Security, he is convinced that their secret, often illegal, support of struggling Tibetans has brought their final ruin. But his fear turns to confusion as he discovers he has been chosen to fill a vacancy on a special international commission investigating Tibetan suicides. Soon he finds that his predecessor was murdered, and when a monk sets himself on fire in front of the commissioners he realizes that the Commission is being used as a tool to whitewash Tibet's self-immolation protests as acts of crime and terrorism.

Shan faces an impossible dilemma when the Public Security officer who runs the Commission, Major Ren, orders the imprisoned Lokesh beaten to coerce Shan into following Beijing's script for the Commission. He has no choice but to become part of the hated machine that is devouring Tibet, but when he discovers that the most recent immolation was actually another murder, he realizes the Commission itself is riddled with crime and intrigue.

Everywhere he turns, Shan finds new secrets that seem to lead to the last agonizing chapter of his life. Shan must make a final desperate effort to uncover the Commission's terrible secrets whose painful truth could change Shan's life — and possibly that of many Tibetans — forever.

Ryan Kealey has no doubt that the forces seeking to tip this teetering world into chaos are just getting better. Better equipped, better organized, and, most terrifying of all, more patient. And despite all the ELINT, the all-seeingelectronic intelligence gathered at Langley, nothing stops a devastating attack from ripping through the heart of San Antonio, Texas.

Wrenched from retirement to work the Texas tragedy, Kealey learns of a far greater threat in the Middle East. A radical terrorist group claims possession of a powerful ancient relic, the Staff of Moses, which they will use to unleash plagues across the globe. To avert unimaginable devastation, lone-wolf Kealey, armed with little more than intuition, must prevent , a disaster of biblical proportions that may well be inevitable.

After her most recent foray into detection, Sheila Travis is more than happy to concentrate on her job as Director of International Relations for Hosokawa International. Unfortunately, her relative peace and quiet is short-lived.

Coming home from an exhausting business trip, all Sheila wants to do is go to sleep. Instead, she is dragooned by her young neighbor. Sara Sims Tait into a Sims family dinner out in Gwinnett County.

Each day, the greater metropolitan area of Atlanta moves a little further into Gwinnett County, and Sara Sims's contentious family — part upwardly mobile, part solid dirt farmers — sees big dollar signs when major developers express interest in Grandma Sims's farmland. Too bad she won't sell.

Greed and anger are powerful influences, but when the murderer strikes, Grandma Sims is not the victim, and it is up to Sheila and her irrepressible, aristocratic Aunt Mary to untangle the complicated web of motives, opportunities, and relationships that connect the Sims family to murder.

Investigator Sam McKee likes to spend his holiday time beach-combing for jade and other artifacts on New Zealand's rugged West Coast. But when he stumbles across a strange man digging a grave up on the river flats, and then catches the same man staring at a pretty young girl in the local village, his holiday plans are thrown into chaos.

Lydia would rather live with someone other than Mr G, but she doesn't have a safe exit strategy and Mr G isn't the sort of man a girl says no to.

Mr G wants it all. His brothels make him plenty of money, but that's not enough. His property empire, held together with blackmail and extortion, is under threat, and he will do whatever it takes to keep it.

Sam will need all his skills as an investigator, diplomat, and gambler if he's to satisfy a violent egomaniac, especially one who's out for blood. Can he save the life of someone who's just made a stupid mistake without risking his own, or will he end up buried above high tide?
