The Forsaken
‘Fast-paced, sharp, and dark. A terrific read.’ Kathy ReichsFor ten years, Logan Booth served as a contract killer for the CIA – he just never knew it. The first book in a blockbuster thriller series from Matt Rogers, a million-copy bestseller and 'a bright new talent shaking up the genre' (Candice Fox). In the twilight of his career, Logan learns he has been a vessel for furthering government interests, not a rogue hitman for a band of vigilantes. The revelation destroys him. But when Jorge Romero – an investigative reporter and Logan's oldest friend – is brutally and inexplicably murdered, Logan allows his fury to deliver him from despair. With an ally in Alice Mason, a homeless witness with a target on her back, Logan goes to war. Against whom, he isn't sure, but he knows powerful forces are at work behind the scenes. Now, to deliver justice, Logan and Alice must confront their demons and win a savage battle that could destroy their lives... even if they survive.'Logan Booth is a character who is impossible to look away from and difficult to forget.' Kyle Mills

Meltdown
''This is more than a richly detailed story about the hubris, corruption and incompetence that doomed Credit Suisse; it''s a stark warning to all of us about what happens when we let bankers do what they like'' - Oliver Bullough, bestselling author of Butler to the World---For centuries, Swiss banks have served the globe''s wealthiest individuals, employing a strict culture of anonymity and gaining massive wealth in the process. But when Credit Suisse collapsed, the veil of secrecy came down and the world was suddenly privy to the corruption, scandal and empty hubris that keep our biggest banks alive.It was a 166-year-old bastion of Swiss banking, amongst the most important and influential financial institutions in the world – but a veneer of high-class service disguised a darker, dirtier reality. From its sterile Zurich headquarters, the bank catered to a clientele that included dictators, drug dealers and former Nazi officers, and helped fleece its own clients out of billions of dollars. This continued for decades, even as Credit Suisse continued to expand, acquiring smaller banks and granting its own executives lucrative bonus contracts.Meltdown is the story of how the house of cards fell apart. Bloomberg investigative journalist and bestselling author of Pyramid of Lies Duncan Mavin takes readers inside the bank’s hushed marble corridors, detailing its secretive culture and the series of increasingly selfish decisions, made by a handful of men at the top, which ultimately led to disaster.This is the fascinating history of one of the biggest financial institutions of our times - and a thrilling exposé of the wider financial services sector - which promises to give readers a shocking and brutally honest look into a previously-unknown world of greed, lies and unrelenting human ambition.---''A riveting autopsy of how one of banking''s titans gradually, then suddenly, crumbled under the weight of its own misdeeds'' - Bradley Hope, New York Times bestselling author of Billion Dollar Whale and Blood and Oil''This financial thriller of a book offers a tantalising glimpse into the rot at the heart of one of the world''s most powerful banks'' - Parmy Olson, bestselling author of We Are Anonymous and Supremacy''We''re used by now to bankers behaving badly, but Duncan Mavin takes it to another shocking, anger-inducing level.
