Bomb Grade
by Brian FreemantleBritish agent Charlie Muffin goes undercover in the Russian mafia to unravel a major nuclear smuggling operation. Russia is falling apart. The economy is in shambles, and the police hold very little power. On the brink of chaos, only organized crime gets results; the Russian mafia controls the streets, the militia, maybe even the government. And as the families battle for supremacy, the embattled boss of bosses plans a job to keep himself in power forever: the ultimate nuclear robbery. Uranium and plutonium have vanished from nuclear plants for years, a few grams here, a few grams there; sufficient cause for concern, but not for panic. You need five kilograms to make a Hiroshima-sized bomb, after all. But this time, the heist is of 250 kilograms of weapons-grade material. The Russians are frantic, the West terrified; the risk of Armageddon looms close on the horizon. To prevent it, Charlie is sent to Moscow, home of the most dangerous trade in the world. Moscow: where secrets are currency, where friends can be more dangerous even than gangsters.

Bombay Monsoon
by James W. ZiskinThe last thing Danny wants to see published is his obituary The year is 1975. Danny Jacobs is an ambitious, young American journalist who's just arrived in Bombay for a new assignment. He's soon caught up in the chaos of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's domestic "Emergency." Willy Smets is Danny's enigmatic expat neighbor. He's a charming man, but with suspicious connections. As a monsoon drenches Bombay, Danny falls hard for Sushmita, Smets's beguiling and clever lover—and the infatuation is mutual. "The Emergency," a virtual coup by the prime minister, is only the first twist in the high-stakes drama of Danny's new life in India. The assassination of a police officer by a Marxist extremist, as well as Danny's obsession with the inscrutable Sushmita, conspire to put his career—and life—in jeopardy. And, of course, the temptations of Willy Smets's seductive personality sit squarely at the heart of the matter. Democracy is fragile and the lines of loyalty and betrayal often cross and cannot be untangled.Perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Steve Berry
Bomber's Law
by George V. HigginsA winding tale of suspicion and intrigue, George V. Higgins skillfully recounts the story of elusive Short Joey Mossi. When detective sergeant Harry Dell'Appa went into enforced exile in the Berkshires to put an end to an ill-fated office romance, he didn't expect to be called back to Boston so soon. But desperate times...so the saying goes, and head detective Brian Dennison is keen for Short Joey Mossi, a suspected mob exterminator, to be arrested once and for all. Dell'Appa is called in to assist detective Bob Brennan, an old rival of his, who despite knowing all there is to know about Mossi, has never apprehended him. The plot thickens and Dell'Appa learns time and time again of the primacy of Bomber's Law: they always "do it for the money". In Bomber's Law, Higgins operates on a captivating policy of "partial disclosure", leaving the reader to piece together the plot, morsel by morsel.
