One Claire Claire Danvers was in a rare bad mood, and nearly getting arrested didn’t improve it. First, her university classes hadn’t gone well at all, and then she’d had a humiliating argument with her “adviser” (she usually thought of him that way, in quotes, because he didn’t “advise” her to do anything but take boring core subjects and not challenge herself), and then she’d gotten a completely unfair B on a physics paper she knew had been letter perfect. She would have grudgingly accepted a B on something unimportant, like history, but no, it had to be in her major. And of course Professor Carlyle wasn’t in his office to talk about it. So she wasn’t fully paying attention when she stepped off the curb. Traffic in Morganville, Texas, wasn’t exactly fast and furious, and here by Texas Prairie University, people were fully used to stopping for oblivious students. Still, the screech of brakes surprised her and sent her stumbling back to the safety of the sidewalk, and it was only after a couple of fast breaths that she realized she’d nearly been run over by a police cruiser. And a policeman was getting out of the car, looking grim. As he stalked over to her she realized he was probably a vampire-he was too pale to be a human, and he had on sunglasses even here in the shade of the building. Glancing at the cruiser to confirm, she saw the extreme tinting job on the windows. Definitely vampire police. The official slogan of the police was to pr...

An anonymous caller complained at 10:16 p.m. about a party on North First Street. RP [reporting party] called to report a loud party in the above area. Unit dispatched. Responsibles contacted. Noise abated. Subjects to depart the area. Suspicious conditions were reported-again anonymously-at 10:22 p.m. RP reported hearing a small child crying. Unit dispatched.

The answers lead Reacher on a cold trail back to New York, to the tenuous confidence of an alluring woman, and the dangerous corners of his own past. Review “Child grabs hold with the first page and wont let go until the finish. This is pulse-pounding suspense, and Child hardly misses a beat.”- The Arizona Daily Star “Good thrillers exist in a class of their own.

A bang-up finale which makes the reader sit back and gasp with both wonder and understanding.”- The Denver Post “Not only bang-on suspense but an insightful look into how humans work.”- Houston Chronicle “A stylish thriller as complex and disturbing as its hero.”-Stephen White “A tightly-drawn and swift thriller that gives new meaning to what a page-turner should be.”-Michael Connelly “Page for page, theres probably more fisticuffs in a Lee Child thriller than anywhere else.”- Chicago Tribune “When you put a good villain together with a great hero like Jack Reacher...the result is a thriller good to the last drop.

It’s no wonder.” -Arizona Daily Star “[Reacher] is a character who deserves to be around for a long time.” -Green Bay Press-Gazette “Complex . . . Throughout this cross-country cat-and-mouse tale, the author’s spare style reveals telling details: layers of intrigue, poignant moments, hideous crimes, and ingenious solutions.” -BookPage “A beaut . . .

-Titulo Original : No Te Comas El Marshmallow...todavia: El Secreto Para Conquistar Las Recompensas Mas Dulces De Lavida (Spanish Edition)-Fabricante : Berkley-Descripcion Original: BESTSELLER INTERNACIONAL ¿Que separa a los futuros triunfadores de los demas? Una simple decision que cambio sus vidas… Arthur es un chofer que puede completar el crucigrama del New York Times en treinta minutos, analizar la economia de America Latina en media hora y calcular mentalmente cifras con mas rapidez que la mayoria de las personas pueden hacerlo con una calculadora. Jonathan es tan inteligente como Arthur, es tan trabajador como el y tiene cientos de millones de dolares. Entonces, ¿por que Jonathan esta sentado en el asiento trasero de la limusina y Arthur es el chofer? ¿Que separa sus niveles de exito? ¿Que explica la diferencia entre triunfo y fracaso? ¿Y que significa eso para ti y para tus hijos? La respuesta reside en un crucial estudio de la Universidad de Stanford. Se dejo solos un grupo de niños en un habitacion, cada uno con un marshmallow, y se les dijo que podian escoger comerselo enseguida o al cabo de quince minutos, per a los que esperaran se les recompensaria con un marshmallow adicional. Algunos se comieron su marshmallow al instante. Otros esperaron. Pero la verdadera importancia del estudio se revelo quince años mas tarde, cuando los investigadores descubrieron que los niños que esperaron para obtener la recompensa se habian convertido en adultos mas exitosos que los niños que habian engullido sus marshmallows inmediatamente. Joachim de Posada, un reconocido orador motivacional que ha hablado antes miles de empresarios, ejecutivos y atletas profesionales en todo el mundo, tomo muy en cuenta esta leccion. La “teoria del marshmallow” dio respuesta a un busqueda de treinta años para encontrar una explicacion convincente de por que algunas personas triunfan y otras fracasan. De Posada estaba convencido de que la diferencia clave entre el exito y el fracaso no reside tan solo en el esfuerzo personal ni en una inteligencia superior, sino en la habilidad de demorar la recompensa. Aquellos que son capaces de no comerse el marshmallow enseguida, logran niveles superiores de exito, mientras que el resto de nosotros, como quien dice, no podemos resistir comernos nuestros marshmallows al instante-acumulando deudas e insatisfaccion, no importa cuales sean nuestras ocupaciones e ingresos. Pero no tiene por que ser asi. Mediante el uso de una sencilla parabola y ejemplos de la vida real (entre ellos el de legendario jugador de baloncesto Larry Bird y el de Jorge Posada, primo de Joachim, receptor del equipo Yankees de Nueva York), este libro, capaz de cambiar tu vida, te muestra como los pasos que das hoy pueden recompensarte en grande mañana-solo si no te comes el marshmallow…¡todavia! About the Author Joachim de Posada is a bilingual international motivational speaker, radio and TV personality, author of four books, and newspaper columnist who has spoken in more than 60 countries about leadership, team building, sales, and management.

He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell. Review Praise for Killing Floor A People Magazine “Page-Turner” A Barry Award winner An Anthony Award winner “All [Jack Reacher novels] are ripping yarns, but.... Killing Floor wins awards for Best Corrupt Southern Town in a Summer Novel and Best Exploding Warehouse.”-Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly “Combines high suspense with almost nonstop action. Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero: tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable.”-People“Great style and careful plotting. The violence is brutal… depicted with the kind of detail that builds dread and suspense.”-The New York Times “A complex thriller with layer upon layer of mystery and violence and intrigue…A long unsettling trip that leaves your brain buzzing and your stomach knotted.

Lee Child’s Killing Floor is one of them. But not content with writing a rip-roaring thriller, Child also gives us one of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction: Jack Reacher.”-Jeffery Deaver “A big, rangy plot, menace as palpable as a ticking bomb, and enough battered corpses to make an undertaker grin.”-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Beautifully detailed action scenes and fascinating arcana about currency and counterfeiting…[A] taut and tough-minded first novel.”-Publishers Weekly “I love the larger-than-life hero, Jack Reacher.

-Titulo Original : The Attic On Queen Street (tradd Street)-Fabricante : Berkley-Descripcion Original: An instant New York Times bestseller!Return to the house on Tradd Street one last time in this hauntingly spectacular finale to the bestselling series featuring psychic medium Melanie Trenholm. After the devastating events of the past few months, the last thing Melanie Trenholm wants is to think about the future. Why, when her husband, Jack, has asked for a separation-a separation that might have been her fault? Nevertheless, with twin toddlers, a stepdaughter leaving for college soon, a real estate career to resume and a historic home that is still being restored, Melanie doesn’t have much time to wonder where it all went wrong-but that doesn’t stop her from trying to win her husband back. Their relationship issues are pushed aside, however, when longtime nemesis, Marc Longo, comes to them with a proposition: allow their Tradd Street house to be used as the filming location for the movie adaptation of Marc’s bestselling book, and he will help Jack re-establish his stalled writing career. Despite Melanie’s hesitation, Jack jumps at the chance. But Melanie’s doubts soon prove to be well founded when she uncovers ulterior reasons for Marc wanting to be back in their house-reasons that include a hidden gem so brilliant that legend links it to the most infamous jewel of all, the Hope Diamond. But Melanie has an unexpected ally in protecting the house and its inhabitants-the ghost of a Civil War era girl warns her of increasing threats to her family. But she’s not the only spirit who is haunting Melanie. A malevolent ghost seems determined to stop Melanie from investigating the decades-old murder of a friend’s sister, and this spirit will stop at nothing to protect its secrets-even from beyond the grave. Melanie and Jack must work together to find the answers before evil spirits of past and present destroy everything they love.

PROLOGUE A flash of light in the distant morning sky captured the attention of the Land Rovers blood-soaked driver. Polarized Oakleys shielded his eyes from the brunt of the suns rays; still, he squinted through his windshields glare, desperate to identify the burning aircraft that now spun and hurtled towards earth, a smoldering comets tail of black smoke left hanging above it.It was a helicopter, a large Army Chinook, and horrific though the situation must have been for those on board, the driver of the Land Rover breathed a subdued sigh of relief. His extraction transport was to be a Russian-built KA-32T, crewed by Polish mercenaries and flown in from over the border in Turkey. The driver found the dying Chinook regrettable but preferable to a dying KA-32T.He watched the chopper spin in its uncontrolled descent, staining the blue sky directly in front of him with burning fuel.He turned the Land Rover hard to the right and accelerated eastward. The blood-soaked driver wanted to get as far away from here as fast as possible. As much as he wished there was something he could do for the Americans on board the Chinook, he knew their fate was out of his hands.And he had his own problems. For five hours hed raced across the flatlands of western Iraq, fleeing the dirty work hed left behind, and now he was less than twenty minutes from his exfiltration. A shot-down chopper meant that in minutes this place would be crawling with armed fighters, defiling bodies, shooting assault rifles into the air, and jumping around like fucking moro...

Tea maven Theodosia Browning and her tea sommelier, Drayton Conneley, are catering a Victorian Christmas party at a swanky mansion in downtown Charleston. Drucilla Heyward, the hostess, is one of the wealthiest women in town. As the champagne flows and the tea steeps, Drucilla is so pleased with the reception by her partygoers that she reveals her secret plan to Theodosia. The Grande Dame has brought the cream of Charleston society together to reveal that she is planning to give her wealth away to various charitable organizations. However, before she can make the announcement, Theodosia finds her crumpled unconscious in the hallway.

All rights reserved. 1Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the house, a Victorian Christmas party was stirring in a genuine Victorian mansion at one of the swankiest addresses in all of Charleston, South Carolina. The original owner of the mansion had been a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the current resident, a certain Miss Drucilla Heyward, was signatory on a bank account that contained more money than the GDP of a small European country.Picture it this way: a group of well-heeled women in St. John Knits and low-heeled Manolos, wearing stacks of bangles, diamond-stud earrings, and subtle hints of Chanel No. 5. All quite tasteful and genteel as they sipped Lapsang souchong from bone china teacups.The men at the party leaned toward portly and were beginning to get ruddy faced from nipping brandy. The rent-a-bartender in his snug red rent-a-jacket was pouring Hennessy X.O tonight, so that was what they were drinking. Talking stock markets and sailboats and business and family, dressed in conservative Corneliani suits from M. Dumas & Sons on King Street, here and there a few of them sporting tartan plaid vests or Christmas bow ties.And down the hallway, in the palatial dining room . . . Theodosia Browning would never consider herself a member of this well-heeled, fairly insular group. But she knew what they liked. Which is why shed orchestrated a spectacular menu for tonights party. Rare roast beef on rye with dabs of horse radish, steamed blue crabs pulled fresh from local tidal creeks, Capers Blades oysters on the half shell, goat cheese crostini, and spicy chimichurri steak bites.And then there were the tea sandwiches.I hope the guests love these little sandwiches as much as I do, Theodosia said as she arranged her offerings on polished silver trays.The crab salad on brioche? Drayton asked. As Theodosias tea sommelier at the Indigo Tea Shop, he was also her partner in crime for tonights catering gig.And lobster salad accented with fresh tarragon. Haley whipped up both fillings using her famous homemade mayonnaise recipe-or receipt, as she calls it.Yum, Drayton said. No wonder Miss Drucilla asked us to serve champagne along with Lapsang souchong. He paused. I do love that tea. The gently twisted leaves impart such a delicious smoky flavor.Id say its all rather perfect, Theodosia said.She stepped back to admire their buffet table, an amazing amalgam of food, flickering candles, crystal vases filled with red and white roses, and some silver angel figurines that had somehow snuck their way in. As proprietor of the Indigo Tea Shop on Charlestons famed Church Street, Theodosia was us...

-Titulo Original : Angels Fall-Fabricante : Berkley-Descripcion Original: #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts explores the wilds of the Grand Tetons-and the mysteries of love, murder, and madness-in this engrossing and passionate novel.The sole survivor of a brutal crime back East, Reece Gilmore settles in Angel’s Fall, Wyoming-temporarily, at least-and takes a job at a local diner. One day, while hiking in the mountains, she peers through her binoculars and sees a couple arguing on the bank of the churning Snake River. And suddenly, the man is on top of the woman, his hands around her throat... By the time Reece reaches a gruff loner named Brody farther down the trail, the pair is gone. And when authorities comb the area where she saw the attack, they find no trace that anyone was even there. No one in Angel’s Fall seems to believe Reece-except Brody, despite his seeming impatience and desire to keep her at arm’s length. When a series of menacing events makes it clear that someone wants her out of the way, Reece must put her trust in Brody-and herself-to find out if there is a killer in Angel’s Fall, before it’s too late. Review Praise for Angels Fall “Roberts gifts readers with a story that will keep you tossing aside bookmarks and flipping pages until you’re done.”- The Record (Bergen County, NJ) “A great story…delightful characters.”- The Oakland Press “Irresistible and terrifically satisfying.”- Booklist “Exciting…Nora Roberts is at her very best in this great thriller.”- Midwest Book Review “The queen of romantic suspense doesn’t disappoint readers.”- The Columbus Dispatch (OH) “Roberts strengths are many, but richly defined characters are at the top. This story of the mental and emotional challenges faced by a damaged woman is wholly gripping, even more so because of the eerie psychological element.

All rights reserved. SIGNPOSTS Everywhere is nowhere. -SENECA 1 REECE GILMORE smoked through the tough knuckles of Angel’s Fist in an overheating Chevy Cavalier. She had two hundred forty-three dollars and change in her pocket, which might be enough to cure the Chevy, fuel it and herself. If luck was on her side, and the car wasn’t seriously ill, she’d have enough to pay for a room for the night. Then, even by the most optimistic calculations, she’d be broke. She took the plumes of steam puffing out of the hood as a sign it was time to stop traveling for a while and find a job. No worries, no problem, she told herself. The little Wyoming town huddled around the cold blue waters of a lake was as good as anywhere else. Maybe better. It had the openness she needed-all that sky with the snow-dipped peaks of the Tetons rising into it like sober, and somehow aloof, gods. She’d been meandering her way toward them, through the Ansel Adams photograph of peaks and plains for hours. She hadn’t had a clue where she’d end up when she started out that day before dawn, but she’d bypassed Cody, zipped through Dubois, and though she’d toyed with veering into Jackson, she dipped south instead. So something must have been pulling her to this spot. Over the past eight months, she’d developed a strong belief in following signs and impulses. Dangerous Curves, Slippery When Wet. It was nice that someone took the time and effort to post those kinds of warnings. Other signs might be a peculiar slant of sunlight aimed down a back road, or a weather vane pointing south. If she liked the look of the light or the weather vane, she’d follow, until she found what seemed like the right place at the right time. She might settle in for a few weeks, or, like she had...

-Titulo Original : Phantoms-Fabricante : Berkley-Descripcion Original: “Phantoms is gruesome and unrelenting…It’s well realized, intelligent, and humane.”-Stephen King They found the town silent, apparently abandoned. Then they found the first body, strangely swollen and still warm. One hundred fifty were dead, 350 missing. But the terror had only begun in the tiny mountain town of Snowfield, California. At first they thought it was the work of a maniac. Or terrorists. Or toxic contamination. Or a bizarre new disease. But then they found the truth. And they saw it in the flesh. And it was worse than anything any of them had ever imagined... Review “Scary and stylish.”- Los Angeles Times“First-rate…scary and plausible.”- Publishers Weekly“Gruesome and unrelenting.”-Stephen King “Stunning. Phantoms is an instant classic.”- Chicago Sun-Times“Koontz has outdone himself.”- Philadelphia Daily News More Praise for Dean Koontz“Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”- The Seattle Times“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....‘Serious’ writers...might do well to examine his technique.”- The New York Times Book Review“Lyrical writing and compelling characters...Koontz stands alone.”-Associated Press “In every industry there exist ‘artists’ that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz...is among these artisans.”- Suspense Magazine“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”- Los Angeles Times“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.”- Publishers Weekly About the Author Dean Koontz, the author of many #1 New York Times bestsellers, lives in Southern California with his wife, Gerda, their golden retriever, Elsa, and the enduring spirit of their goldens, Trixie and Anna. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. chapter one The Town Jail The scream was distant and brief. A womans scream. Deputy Paul Henderson looked up from his copy of Time. He cocked his head, listening. Motes of dust drifted lazily in a bright shaft of sunlight that pierced one of the mullioned windows. The thin, red second hand of the wall clock swept soundlessly around the dial. The only noise was the creak of Hendersons office chair as he shifted his weight in it. Through the large front windows, he could see a portion of Snowfields main street. Skyline Road, which was perfectly still and peaceful in the golden afternoon sunshine. Only the trees moved, leaves aflutter in a soft wind. After listening intently for several seconds, Henderson was not sure he had actually heard anything. Imagination, he told himself. Just wishful thinking. He almost would have preferred that someone had screamed. He was restless. During the off season, from April through September, he was the only full-time sheriffs deputy assigned to the Snowfield substation, and the duty was dull. In the winter, when the town was host to several thousand skiers, there were drunks to be dealt with, fistfights to be broken up, and room burglaries to be investigated at the inns, lodges, and motels where the skiers stayed. But now, in early September, only the Candleglow Inn, one lodge, and two small motels were open, and the natives were quiet, and Henderson-who was just twenty-four years old and concluding his first year as a deputy-was bored. He sighed, looked down at the magazine that lay on his desk-and heard another scream. As before, it was distant and brief, but this time it sounded like a mans voice. It wasnt merely a shriek of excitement or even a cry of alarm; it was the sound of terror. Frowning, Henderson got up and headed toward the door...

All rights reserved. One Beverly Hills, 1979 Olivia was four when the monster came. It shambled into dreams that were not dreams and ripped away with bloody hands the innocence monsters covet most. On a night in high summer, when the moon was bright and full as a childs heart and the breeze was softly perfumed with roses and jasmine, it stalked into the house to hunt, to slaughter, to leave behind the indifferent dark and the stink of blood. Nothing was the same after the monster came. The lovely house with its many generous rooms and acres of glossy floors would forever carry the smear of his ghost and the silver-edged echo of Olivias lost innocence. Her mother had told her there werent any monsters. They were only pretend, and her bad dreams only dreams. But the night she saw the monster, heard it, smelled it, her mother couldnt tell her it wasnt real. And there was no one left to sit on the bed, to stroke her hair and tell her pretty stories until she slipped back into sleep. Her daddy told the best stories, wonderfully silly ones with pink giraffes and two-headed cows. But hed gotten sick, and the sickness had made him do bad things and say bad words in a loud, fast voice that wasnt like Daddys at all. Hed had to go away. Her mother had told her hed had to go away until he wasnt sick anymore. Thats why he could only come to see her sometimes, and Mama or Aunt Jamie or Uncle David had to stay right in the room the whole time. Once, shed been allowed to go to Daddys new house on the beach. Aunt Jamie and Uncle David had taken her, and shed been fascinated and delighted to watch through the wide glass wall as the waves lifted and fell, to see the water stretch and stretch into forever where it bumped right into the sky. Then Daddy wanted to take her out on the beach to play, to build sand castles, just the two of them. But her aunt had said no. It wasnt allowed. Theyd argued, at first in those low, hissing voices adults never think children can hear. But Olivia had heard and, hearing, had sat by that big window to stare harder and harder at the water. And as the voices got louder, she made herself not he...
