I need a war ...' Nicolas Creel, a super-rich arms dealer, decides that the best way to boost his business is to start a new cold war - and he won't let anything or anyone get in his way. As international tensions rise and the superpowers line up against each other, the lives of three very different people will never be the same again. As intelligence agent Shaw, academic Anna Fischer and ambitious journalist Katie James are all drawn into Creel's games, can anything stop the world from spiralling out of control? This terrifying global thriller delivers all the twists and turns, emotional drama, unforgettable characters and can't-put-it-down pacing that Baldacci fans expect - and still goes beyond anything he's written before.

Mason "Mace" Perry was a maverick cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything - her career, her liberty - and spent two years in prison. Now back on the outside, Mace is trying to rebuild her life and track down the people who set her up. But even with her police chief sister at her side, she has to work in the shadows: there's a vindictive US attorney on her tail and she's just looking for a reason to send her back behind bars ...Roy Kingman is a young lawyer, still getting used to his high-paid job at a law firm in Washington. When Roy discovers the dead body of a female partner at the firm, his fate becomes entangled with Mace's, as the two team up to investigate. But as their enquiries gather pace, Roy and Mace soon find themselves in unexpected territory; drawn into both the private and public world of the nation's capital, as dark secrets begin to emerge. For what began as a fairly routine homicide investigation will quickly turn into something far more complex. And possibly lethal ...

Evan Waller is a monster. He has built a fortune from his willingness to buy and sell anything . . . and anyone. In search of new opportunities, Waller has just begun a new business venture: one that could lead to millions of deaths all over the globe.

When she turned the page and her gaze flickered over the date on top it was as though the lightning outside had somehow grounded right into her. A billion volts of pain, a shriek of anguish you could actually see, and feel, as it pierced her. Camp David, USA. A birthday party turns into a nightmare when a child is snatched after the celebrations. The First Lady enlists the services of Sean King and Michelle Maxwell to bring the child home safely. But she and King share a past. Years ago he saved her then senator husband from political disaster. And this may not be all that passed between them. With Michelle still battling her own demons, the two are pushed to the limit, with forces aligned on all sides against them - and the line between friend and foe impossible to define ...or defend.

Hrobník Oliver Stone se svými podivnými přáteli, knihovníkem, matematickým géniem i dělníkem z doku, kteří si říkají trochu nesmyslně Camel club, se tentokrát nikoli vlastní vinou zapletou do několika případů kruté pomsty. Přestože už prošli mnoha střetnutími s korupcí a podlou zradou (Camel club, Sběratelé), tak proti spiklencům z více front už nemají ani nejmenší šanci. Přinejmenším teoreticky…

Seven seconds. That's all it took for Web London to lose everything: his friends, his team, his reputation. Point man of the FBI's super-elite Hostage rescue Team, Web roared into a blind alley towards a drug leader's lair, only to meet a high-tech, custom-designed ambush that killed everyone around him. Coping with the blame-filled words of anguished widows and the suspicions of colleagues, Web tries to put his life back together. To do so, he must discover why he was the one man who lived through the ambush - and find the only other person who came out of the alley alive ...a ten-year-old boy who has since disappeared. Acting on his instincts, Web believes he knows where the killer will strike next. Only this time, he may not survive the attack. In this extraordinary work, Baldacci uses his unsurpassed storytelling skills to explore the essence of survival itself, as a conspiracy of violence surrounds an FBI agent whose fate was to be the ..."Last Man Standing".

Baldacci brach mit Absolute Power (1995) über die Thriller-Szene herein und blieb damit über vier Monate lang in der Bestsellerliste der New York Times. Das Labyrinth ist sogar noch spannender und auch um einiges interessanter, was die von ihm aufgeworfene Frage betrifft, inwiefern wir von Technologie kontrolliert werden. Baldaccis rücksichtslose Figuren sind ausgestattet mit den neuesten Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Actionwaffen, Laptops und Handys. Alle tragen noch eine Pistole, aber sie kämpfen per Computerdisketten und versuchen sich mit hektisch geschriebenen E-mails gegenseitig zu überlisten. Mit Ausnahme einiger brutaler Morde und eines sabotierten Verkehrsflugzeugs, das mit soviel Wucht auf der Erde aufschlägt, daß es regelrecht in seine Bestandteile zerfällt und einen riesigen Krater im ländlichen Virginia hinterläßt, wobei hunderte unschuldiger Menschen ums Leben kommen, finden die Straftaten alle online statt. Dabei handelt es sich auch um den Diebstahl von streng geheimen Finanzpapieren, die High-tech-Firmen mit Namen wie Triton und CyberCom betreffen. Baldaccis Helden sind eine Mischung aus Alt und Neu: Ein großherziger FBI-Mann und eine schöne Vollblutanwältin, die eigentlich nur zu Hause bleiben und auf die Kinder aufpassen möchte. Wie dem auch sei -- doch als ihr Mann spurlos verschwindet, verwandelt sich Sidney Archer von einer Unternehmensanwältin zu einer schwerbewaffneten, treffsicheren Lady mit genug Grips, um ihre sehr verärgerten, sehr boshaften Verfolger zu überlisten. Sehr gut und sehr professionell. --Donna Seaman
