Az anya
A családunkért bármire képesek vagyunk. Gyilkossággal vádolták. Most kiszabadult... Egy anya álruhában, a távolból követ végig egy temetést, és gyötrődve figyeli a gyászoló fiait. Nem vigasztalhatja meg őket, és nem fedheti fel előttük a titkát. Tíz évvel korábban, egy átlagos péntek estén Heather lefektette a gyerekeit, és várta, hogy a férje hazatérjen. Nem is sejtette, hogy aznap éjszaka darabjaira hullik az élete. Másnap ugyanis megvádolták a férfi meggyilkolásával. Heather akkor mindenét elvesztette. Most pedig semmitől sem riad vissza, hogy tisztázza a nevét, és visszakapja a gyerekeit... Magabiztos, lebilincselő és hipnotikusan olvasmányos... egy csavarral a végén, amelyre garantáltan senki sem számít. - Lee Child
Halálmester
A "Halálmester" első megjelenésekor az eladási listák élén állt, megelőzve az összes magyar és külföldi szerzőt. A mostani, teljesen átdolgozott kiadásban az izgalmas alapsztori megmaradt, de még jobban érvényesül a szerző pergő tempójú, kiváló humorral fűszerezett stílusa.
A mindvégig feszült hangulatú krimi bepillantást nyújt a keleti és nyugati ember gondolkodása közti különbségbe, s az olvasó számára apránként az is egyértelművé válik, hogy az író maga is képzett harcművész.
A kötetben a sorozat kung-fu mester, amerikai magánnyomozó hősei Hongkongba utaznak egy izgalmas akciófilm forgatására.
A film harcművész főszereplőit ugyanis egy titokzatos, magát Halálmesternek nevező ismeretlen levélben halálosan megfenyegeti.
A magánnyomozók megérkeznek a helyszínre... és ekkor elszabadul a pokol! A Halálmester megkezdi a leszámolást!
Hőseinket azonban nem tántorítják el sem a kegyetlen gyilkosságok, sem a gyakran hihetetlennek tűnő események. Felveszik a harcot a vérszomjas és könyörtelen ellenféllel.
"- Mr. Grey! Egy pillanatra...
- Muszáj? - fordultam hátra kelletlenül.
- Sajnos ön kulcsfigura az ügyben... és khm... azt hiszem, jobb lenne, ha most hallgatnám ki.
Szomorúan felsóhajtottam.
- Gondolja?
Shaó furcsán elmosolyodott.
- Igen, Mr. Grey.
- Nem várhatnánk reggelig?
- Tőlem igen...
- De...?
- De nem biztos, hogy ön megéri a reggelt."
