It's 1969, and, having just celebrated his forty-fifth birthday, James Bond — British special agent 007 — is summoned to headquarters to receive an unusual assignment. Zanzarim, a troubled West African nation, is being ravaged by a bitter civil war, and M directs Bond to quash the rebels threatening the established regime.

Bond's arrival in Africa marks the start of a feverish mission to discover the forces behind this brutal war — and he soon realizes the situation is far from straightforward. Piece by piece, Bond uncovers the real cause of the violence in Zanzarim, revealing a twisting conspiracy that extends further than he ever imagined.

Washington, D.C., Metro Police Detective Sergeant Sam Holland needs a big win to salvage her career — and her confidence — after a disastrous investigation. The perfect opportunity arises when Senator John O'Connor is found brutally murdered in his bed, and Sam is assigned to the case.

Matters get complicated when Sam has to team up with Nick Cappuano, O'Connor's friend and chief of staff … and the man Sam had a memorable one-night stand with years earlier. Their sexual chemistry still sizzles, and Sam has to fight to stay focused on the case. Sleeping with a material witness is another mistake she can't afford — especially when the bodies keep piling up.

Showcasing writers who have honed this nuanced skill set, this short story collection offers tightly wound whodunits, puzzling perspectives, and disturbing denouements. There's a bank-robbing former Marine, a young mother under suspicion after her child goes missing, a ruthless colonial timber baron, a high school principal with a past, and a host of other memorable characters in this collection "filled with mayhem and murder and darkness."
