'When I wrote my first novel after several non-fiction works about politics, James Patterson lovingly lambasted me for infringing on his thriller territory. Now I know how he feels as he crosses into non-fiction politics with this juicy and entertaining look at a political family that continues to wield power and influence. He's too good - it isn't fair!' JAKE TAPPER, CNN anchor and author of The Hellfire Club

JAMES PATTERSON a világ első számú bestseller thrillerszerzője.„Ha bírod az ütős thrillereket, imádni fogod Candice Foxot!” - Lee ChildSzabadulni akarnak, de ez lehet a vesztük. „Nem lehet letenni.” - Daily Mirror Az Egyesült Államok-beli Gloucesterben magányos épület áll a sziklás parton: a fogadó, amelynek újdonsült tulajdonosa, a bostoni rendőrség exnyomozója, Bill Robinson. A fogadós kifejezetten élvezi az elszigetelt helyszínt. Amíg tucatnyi lakója megfizeti a szállásdíjat, Robinson nem kérdezősködik. Clayton Spears, a sheriff is ugyanígy tesz - ő a fogadó második emeletén lakik. Megjelenik Mitchell Cline, aki homlokegyenest ellenkező módon bonyolítja az ügyeit. Bandájába helybeli bűnözők tartoznak, akik drogot árulnak, nem egyszer öltek is. A fogadó kapuján betör az erőszak. Robinson megismerkedik Susan Solie újságírónővel, és ráébred, azzal, hogy elhagyta a várost, még nem menekült a gonosz valóságtól - és attól a felismeréstől sem, hogy felelősséggel tartozik a közösségnek. Cselekednie kell. Spears sheriff mellett Robinson segítőtársa lesz Nick Jones, veterán katona, és Effie Jones, gondnok. Össze kell fogniuk, hogy megvédjék a környéket, mert ha ki-ki csak magára számíthat, akkor nem élik túl. James Patterson amerikai bestsellerszerző.

Azonnali #1 New York Times bestseller Minden elnöknek vannak rémálmai. De ez most valóra vált. Matthew Keating, az USA korábbi elnöke, aki előzőleg haditengerészeti SEAL volt, mindig épp oly keményen és elkötelezetten védelmezte családját, mint a hazát. Most azonban támadás célpontjává válik. Egy őrült elrabolja Keating tizenéves lányát, Melanie-t - minden szülő retteg attól, hogy ez bekövetkezhet, és egyben nemzetbiztonsági krízishelyzet alakul ki. Az egész világ valós időben követi az eseményeket, Keating pedig egyedül vág bele a küldetésbe, amely vezetőként, katonaként és apaként egyaránt próbára teszi képességeit. Az elnök eltűnt című #1 New York Times bestseller szerzőitől: Minden részlet a helyén van- mert az egyik szerző Bill Clinton, az USA korábbi elnöke.A feszültség és a cselekmény megállíthatatlanul dübörög- mert a másik szerző a világ legnagyobb példányszámban eladott thrillerszerzője, James Patterson. „Az álomcsapat” - Lee Child „James Patterson, a legnagyszerűbb amerikai történetmondó itt csúcsra járatja képességeit. Bill Clinton két ciklust töltött ki a Fehér Házban, amitől a könyv olyannyira autentikus, hogy a riválisok még labdába sem rúghatnak.” - Tony Parsons, A kedvenc feleségem és A mészáros című bestsellerek szerzője „Patterson hihetetlenül felkészült elbeszélő, Clinton pedig tüzetesen ismeri a kormányzat működését - kettejük párosa a legolvasmányosabb thrillert eredményezi.” - TIME „Korunk összes sajátossága megjelenik ebben az izgalmakkal és titkokkal teli thrillerben. A nyitó telefonhívástól a politikai feszültségekkel teli zárlatig egyszerűen nincs megállás.” - Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestseller szerző „Ez a könyv egy rakéta. Olyan autentikus, amilyen csak egy elnök műve lehet. A lánya után kétségbeesetten kutató apa története felfalja az oldalakat. Clinton és Patterson párosa egyszerűen a legjobb a thriller iparágban." - Robert Crais, az Elvis Cole sorozat #1 New York Times bestseller szerzője

The Last Days of John Lennon is the amazing story of John Lennon's life and career, from his earliest days up to his last seconds. It tells the story of the most profound rock-and-roll genius of all time - and of the consummate Nowhere Man who took him from us. JOHN LENNON ACHIEVED WITH THE BEATLES A LEVEL OF SUPERSTARDOM THAT DEFIED CLASSIFICATION. 'WE WERE THE BEST BLOODY BAND THERE WAS,' HE SAID. 'THERE WAS NOBODY TO TOUCH US.' In the summer of 1980, ten years after the break-up of The Beatles, Lennon signed with a new label and hired a top producer to recruit the best session musicians, ready to record new music for the first time in years. They were awestruck when Lennon dashed off '(Just Like) Starting Over'. Lennon was back in peak form, with his best songwriting since 'Imagine'. Even before Lennon left The Beatles, becoming a solo artist and making a life with Yoko Ono in New York City, Mark David Chapman had become obsessed with murdering his former hero. Chapman was convinced that Lennon had squandered his talent and betrayed fans with messages of hope and peace. In December 1980, Chapman quit his security job in Hawaii, signing out as 'John Lennon', and boarded a flight to New York with a handgun and bullets stowed in his luggage. He was never going home again. Enriched by exclusive interviews with Lennon's friends and associates, including Paul McCartney, The Last Days of John Lennon is a true-crime drama about two men who changed history. One whose indelible songs enliven our world to this day, and the other who ended the beautiful music with five pulls of a trigger.

Could a ghost from his past take everything away from Alex Cross? Mere hours after witnessing the execution of a killer he helped put behind bars, Alex Cross is called to the scene of a copycat murder. A note signed 'M' rests on the corpse: 'You messed up big time, Dr. Cross.' Was an innocent man just put to death? As the executed convict's family launch a vicious campaign against Cross, his abilities as a detective are called into question. The enigmatic 'M' lures Cross out of Washington, DC to the sites of multiple homicides, all marked with distressingly familiar details that conjure up decades-old cases and Cross family secrets. Details that make it clear M is after a prize so dear that - were the killer to attain it - Cross's life would be destroyed.
