Operation Hebron
by Eric JordanSome truths are best told under the guise of fiction! The implications are immense; the power brokers are scurrying. Who is Hebron - and will he pull off the most audacious mission in the history of espionage? More daring and damning than Watergate and Irangate! It's an election year and political tension and media hype are mounting fast. A foreign power has launched a high-risk covert operation to have its top agent - a prominent U.S. Senator - elected President of the United States. The womanizing American Ambassador to the European Union is found dead in his Brussels mansion. The Iranians and Iraqis are suspected. Heads are going to roll. Meet Brenda Straus and Jackie Markovic, two of the most determined women you'll ever encounter - one, a whiz-kid Special Agent for the FBI, the other a lethally-seductive, moist-mouthed assassin - as they battle it out in a geo-political chess game that just may change the balance of world power. Written by a former top-level U.S. spy, Operation Hebron takes you from the thickly-upholstered nerve centers of Washington, D.C., the spartan quarters of Jerusalem's brain trust, and a secluded dacha outside of Moscow, to the seedy bars of Brussels and a sun-drenched hide-away in Mallorca. Across time-zones and secret satellite transmissions author Eric Jordan offers a thrill ride through the corridors of power, and uncovers the most sensitive operations of the FBI, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, (SVR, ex-KGB), and the mythic Israeli Mossad. As the threat of international terror edges closer to home, Operation Hebron offers an unprecedented glance through a private window on which the shades are usually drawn!

Outside the Badge
by Mitchell GrobesonA serial killer is loose on the streets of Los Angeles, targeting young male hustlers. Indifferent to crimes against gays, the police department has categorized the killings as NHI--No Humans Involved. No one gives a damn, except for a gay cop whose fellow officers consider him as expendable as the young men being tortured and murdered. That some members of the LAPD could use a good spanking is no secret; allegations of abuse within and outside the department have been surfacing for years. In Outside the Badge, former LAPD officer Mitchell Grobeson (who sued the department for discrimination--and won) takes actual events to weave a fictionalized account of a cop under siege--from the streets and from his own department. Grobeson obviously knows his territory. Those with a cop fetish will enjoy his authentic voice and his attention to police procedure. And the unconventional cover image of him as a hunky bare-chested hustler will surely win him fans. But his gritty tale is not for the faint-hearted: the descriptions of the doomed hustlers--mostly runaways--are heartbreaking, and the torture scenes are cold and graphic. While this first-time author could have used a firm hand with editing (the attention to detail can get monotonous), this is clearly a story that needed to be told.
Outlaws
by Tim GreenCody Grey, the Texas Outlaws' assassin on the football field, is facing up to the harsh reality that both his marriage and his pro career are grinding to a painful close. Then comes the broadside tackle that could bench him permanently - and arrest for the murder of the slimy IRS agent who was out to nail him. Only one woman can save him. A brilliant lawyer, Madison McCall reluctantly takes Cody on as a client. Madison risks everything to save a life, solve a murderous puzzle, and keep herself from getting killed along the way.
The Man Who Was Thursday
by G. K. ChestertonA WILD, MAD, HILARIOUS AND PROFOUNDLY MOVING TALE It is very difficult to classify THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY. It is possible to say that it is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen; but it was to be expected that the author of the Father Brown stories should tell a detective story like no-one else. On this level, therefore, THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY succeeds superbly; if nothing else, it is a magnificent tour-de-force of suspense-writing. However, the reader will soon discover that it is much more than that. Carried along on the boisterous rush of the narrative by Chesterton's wonderful high-spirited style, he will soon see that he is being carried into much deeper waters than he had planned on; and the totally unforeseeable denouement will prove for the modern reader, as it has for thousands of others since 1908 when the book was first published, an inevitable and moving experience, as the investigators finally discover who Sunday is.
Random Acts
by Taylor SmithCriminal profiler Laurel Madden is at the top of her field. But being the best comes at a price. Brilliant, beautiful and aloof, agent Madden has a dark side and even darker secrets. Maybe it's why she understands the criminal mind so well. Sent to cover the disappearance of the children, report Claire Gillespie arrives in California with another, more personal agenda: to rip away the veil of secrecy that surrounds and protects Madden. Claire has evidence that Madden committed murder... and got away with it. Until now. And Claire won't rest until there's justice for the victim - someone she cared about. Between these two determined women stands veteran FBI agent Dan Sprague - torn by duty, loyalty to one woman and an intense attraction to the other that's as unwelcome as it is irresistible. As the balance shifts dangerously between these three, one thing becomes clear: hunting killers is a dangerous game.
