Miracles Cost Extra
‘If I can’t get off – get me out – at any price!’ When millionaire property tycoon Billy Danvers is arrested and awaiting trial for murdering his wife’s lover, his best friend – a respectable city banker – turns to London’s most powerful criminal to pull off the ultimate escape. But when it comes down to huge sums of money, the line between loyalty and betrayal begins to blur. Miracles Cost Extra is a razor-sharp thriller that delivers a stunningly authentic look at how justice can be bent, bought, or broken. It takes readers deep inside the world of high-stakes prison breaks, underworld fixers, and the shadowy border between law and crime. Written by Henry Milner, a legal heavyweight who has defended some of Britain's most notorious criminals. With decades of firsthand courtroom experience, the author crafts a story so true-to-life, it could have been ripped from his case files. ‘Drawing on a lifetime defending crime, Milner writes with elegant, compelling clarity; a novel that’s simply a joy to read.’ Judge Rinder‘A well plotted and thoroughly entertaining tale of lust, murder, bribery, loyalty, betrayal and revenge.' James Morton, Author of Krays: The Final Word

A vizsgáztató
A Royal Hastings University most induló művészeti képzésébe az első pillanattól kódolva van a káosz. A résztvevők már nem egyetemista korúak, és egészen vegyes társaságot alkotnak: Alyson például máris befutott művész, és kétségtelenül túlképzettnek tűnik ide; a fogalmatlan Patrick viszont jóformán még kezelni se tudja a képszerkesztő szoftvert; Cameron, a városi gyerek, pedig mást se csinál, csak handabandázik.
Az egyéves képzés során előfordultak kisebb malőrök: egy diák felgyújtja egy másik műalkotását, a pletyka szerint becsúszott egy házasságtörés, és lezajlott egy katasztrofális kirándulás. Végül itt a vizsgafeladat: installációt kell készíteniük egy helybeli üzlet számára. Hat diák, akikben, úgyszólván, nincs semmi közös, pusztán az, hogy próbálják keresztülhúzni egymás számítását. Ugyan mi baj lehet ebből?
Mindössze annyi, hogy valakit meggyilkolnak. Színre lép a vizsgáztató, akinek értékelnie kell a diákok teljesítményét. Az lesz a meggyőződése, hogy egy diákot megöltek, és a többiek ezt igyekeznek eltussolni. Az igazsághoz csak a bizonyítékok mindenre kiterjedő vizsgálata vezethet el. Lássatok hozzá.

Exit Strategy
Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for.
First - a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing about. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can't deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There's no problem. Nothing is missing.
Second - a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climes. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help.
Third - wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . .
