The Three Sentinels
by Geoffrey HouseholdFor control of a South American oil field, two men go to war On the spine of the Andes Mountains, three monuments have been built to honor the god known as oil. These towering derricks, known to the Company as the three sentinels, will change a few lives for the better--and destroy one thousand more. The completion of the sentinels means closing the outdated oil field known as Cabo Desierto, which hundreds of native families call home. Those who live there are to be relocated. Some are happy to move, but most are not. For the sake of their community, these radicals will fight--and they will die. When the protests against relocation claim the life of his wife, Rafael Garay vows revenge against the Company. With his son at his side, he takes arms against the men who control the sentinels, pitting himself against a corporate troubleshooter who has never met a union he couldn't break.

Three Stations: An Arkady Renko Novel (The\arkady Renko Novels Ser. #7)
by Martin Cruz SmithInvestigator Arkady Renko has been suspended from the Moscow prosecutor's office for smashing through the corruption of Russia's underbelly to uncover unpleasant truths. Despite this, he strives to solve a final case: a young woman is found dead in a work shed on the perimeter of Moscow's main rail hub, and Renko is the only one who recognises it to be more than the simple drug overdose of a common prostitute. The case quickly unveils itself as an entangled web of murder, money and madness that stretches from the lowest of street urchins to the powerful billionaires, uncovering the extent of corruption and fear in an emergent Russia.
Three Stations: An Arkady Renko Novel (The Arkady Renko Novels #7)
by Martin Cruz SmithA passenger train hurtling through the night. An unwed teenage mother headed to Moscow to seek a new life. A cruel-hearted soldier looking furtively, forcibly, for sex. An infant disappearing without a trace. So begins Martin Cruz Smith’s masterful Three Stations, a suspenseful, intricately constructed novel featuring Investigator Arkady Renko. For the last three decades, beginning with the trailblazing Gorky Park, Renko (and Smith) have captivated readers with detective tales set in Russia. Renko is the ironic, brilliantly observant cop who finds solutions to heinous crimes when other lawmen refuse to even acknowledge that crimes have occurred. He uses his biting humor and intuitive leaps to fight not only wrongdoers but the corrupt state apparatus as well. In Three Stations, Renko’s skills are put to their most severe test. Though he has been technically suspended from the prosecutor’s office for once again turning up unpleasant truths, he strives to solve a last case: the death of an elegant young woman whose body is found in a construction trailer on the perimeter of Moscow’s main rail hub. It looks like a simple drug overdose to everyone—except to Renko, whose examination of the crime scene turns up some inexplicable clues, most notably an invitation to Russia’s premier charity ball, the billionaires’ Nijinksy Fair. Thus a sordid death becomes interwoven with the lifestyles of Moscow’s rich and famous, many of whom are clinging to their cash in the face of Putin’s crackdown on the very oligarchs who placed him in power. Renko uncovers a web of death, money, madness and a kidnapping that threatens the woman he is coming to love and the lives of children he is desperate to protect. In Three Stations, Smith produces a complex and haunting vision of an emergent Russia’s secret underclass of street urchins, greedy thugs and a bureaucracy still paralyzed by power and fear.

Three Strikes and You're Dead: A Murder, She Wrote Mystery
by Donald Bain Jessica FletcherSylvester Cole leaned into my shoulder and spoke in a soft voice. "Do you mind if I ask you something, Mrs. Fletcher? You're an artist, a writer. You must be a sensitive woman. Am I imagining it, or are you picking up the same negative vibes I'm getting?" "I'm not sure I know what you mean." "The atmosphere in this room and on the team. I've been around plenty of conflict in locker rooms and at team dinners, but nothing like this." He faked a shudder, and rubbed his arms as if he were cold. All evening, I'd sensed the tension flowing between Ty Ramos and Junior Bennett. The conflict between the manager and the owner was no secret either, with the two men seated at either end of the dais and seemingly intent on avoiding any attempts to bring them together-or to get them to smile. At times, the foul mood in the room seemed as thick as the Arizona air outside, and I'd contemplated escaping the ballroom for a breath of fresh air. "Well, I have to admit that there is a certain level of discomfort this evening," I said.

No wonder James Rollins says: “Jon Land proves yet again that suspense has a new king.” The Valhalla Testament: After his sister—an American undercover operative masquerading as a journalist in Nicaragua—is murdered and he is imprisoned, NFL running back Jamie Skylar must escape to the United States to warn the government of an impending terrorist attack. Vortex: Vietnam special-forces veteran Joshua Bane must wage a one-man war to stop a government conspiracy from completing a superweapon that could alter the very fabric of reality.
