There`s deadly trouble in the corn country of and Jack Reacher walks right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission. But it`s the unsolved, decades-old case of a missing child that Reacher can`t let go. The Duncans want Reacher gone - and it`s not just past secrets they`re trying to hide. For as dangerous as the Duncans are, they`re just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around the world. For Reacher, it would have made much more sense to put some distance between himself and the hard-core trouble that`s bearing down on him. For Reacher, that was also impossible.
In the depths of the Maine woods, the wreckage of an aeroplane is discovered. There are no bodies, and no such plane has ever been reported missing, but men both good and evil have been seeking it for a long, long time. What the wreckage conceals is more important than money: it is power. Hidden in the plane is a list of names, a record of those who have struck a deal with the Devil. Now a battle is about to commence between those who want the list to remain secret and those who believe that it represents a crucial weapon in the struggle against the forces of darkness. The race to secure the prize draws in private detective Charlie Parker, a man who knows more than most about the nature of the terrible evil that seeks to impose itself on...

I knew reading was a dangerous business, but now it`s not safe for writers either! You see, the author of this book is missing. Well, maybe not missing. A certain author whom I won`t name (okay, me) has abandoned his book and has left his readers hanging out to dry. This is a crime, I admit, but...

I took the skull from its evidence bag and gently set it on the stainless steel table. `Tell me who you ` As a favour to a colleague, Dr David Hunter is on the remote Hebridean island of Runa to inspect a grisly discovery. He`s familiar with death in all its guises but is shocked by what he finds: a body, incinerated but for the feet and a single hand. It appears to be a textbook case of spontaneous human combustion. The local police are certain it`s an accidental death, but Hunter is not convinced. Examining the scorched remains, he finds evidence that this was no accident; this was murder. And as the isolated community considers the enormity of Hunter`s findings, a catastrophic storm hits the island. The power goes down, communication...

Emily Jane Bronte was an English novelist and poet, the third-eldest of the four surviving Bronte siblings. Wuthering Heights is her only novel. It is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine`s father. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
