In ''Broken Harbour'', einer heruntergekommenen, halb verlassenen Wohnanlage außerhalb von Dublin, werden die Leicher zweier Kinder und ihres Vaters gefunden. Die Mutter schwer verletzt.

Kurzbeschreibung

A gripping, action-packed short story available only as an eBook?from a master of character, crime, and urgent suspense.
 
Will Trent, a dedicated agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for fifteen years, knows that there?s definitely such a thing as a cop?s intuition. Which is why he should have listened to his own.
 
While in an airport restroom at Atlanta?s Hartsfield-Jackson International, Will overhears a girl?s pleading, plaintive voice: ?Please, I wanna go home.? Something isn?t right here, thinks Will. He feels it in his gut. But he waits too long to act, and now the girl and the anxious, angry man she?s with have disappeared into the crowds at the busiest passenger airport in the world.
 
After a desperate search and with time running out, Will makes a call to his supervisor, Amanda Wagner. Will?s partner, Faith Mitchell, immediately sends out an abducted child alert. The entire airport will soon be grinding to a halt: Eighty-nine million passengers a year. Five runways. Seven concourses. Six million square feet of space that sprawled across two counties, three cities, and five jurisdictions. All shut down on a dime because Will has a hunch that he is certain is true: a girl, maybe six or seven years old, has been snatched from God knows where. And he intends to bring her back?no matter what it takes.
 
Includes an exclusive excerpt from Karin Slaughter?s thrilling new novel of suspense, Criminal.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King?s heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination?a thousand page tour de force.

Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment?a real life moment?when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history.

Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students?a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning?s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.

Not much later, Jake?s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane?and insanely possible?mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake?s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake?s life ? a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.

A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.

Kurzbeschreibung

Patricia Rushford kicks off a thrilling new crime series set in the cozy coastal hamlet of Sunset Cove, Oregon. Featuring determined police officer Angel Delaney, the first episode is sure to have armchair sleuths turning the pages as fast as they can to discover whodunit?
When a police shootout results in the death of a 12-year-old boy, Officer Angel Delaney is blamed, convicted, and condemned by the media and the Sunset Cove community before the case even goes to trial.
Angel will have her day in court, but before she has the chance to defend herself, the situation spirals out of control. Key evidence is missing, evidence that could have verified her claim of firing only one shot in self-defense. In short order, the body count rises, and suddenly Angel is a suspect in more than one murder investigation. Heartsick about the young boy's death, and questioning her judgment as a police officer, Angel joins forces with Detective Callen Riley to fight the mounting charges against her.
