A deadly fall on a rugged stretch of California coast. A home invasion gone wrong in Virginia. These deaths seem unrelated, but the victims were living undercover, their true identities closely held secrets. Now someone is assassinating them, one by one, taking out family members and innocent bystanders as well to make the killings seem like accidents.Captain John Hayes, a special operations legend, has left the military to settle down, for good, with his family. But when he pieces together a pattern behind the murders and discovers that his protégée Claire Rhodes, a brilliant assassin, is the prime suspect, he returns to duty to hunt down the attackers.With every strike, the killers grow bolder. Their ultimate goal: Lure Hayes and his remaining fellow soldiers to Manhattan, to eliminate them all in a single devastating event. To save his teammates and thousands of innocent lives, Hayes must find a way to stop a seemingly unstoppable weapon.Dead Man Switch delivers nonstop twists, turns, and action in a high-stakes thriller about what happens when the fight abroad follows our covert operators home.

To find a Russian mole in the White House, an FBI agent must question everything. . . and trust no oneTo save America from a catastrophic betrayal, an idealistic young FBI agent must stop a Russian mole in the White House in this exhilarating political thriller reminiscent of the early novels of John Grisham and David Baldacci.No one was more surprised than FBI Agent Peter Sutherland when he's tapped to work in the White House Situation Room. From his earliest days as a surveillance specialist, Peter has scrupulously done everything by the book, hoping his record will help him escape the taint of his past. When Peter was a boy, his father, a section chief in FBI counterintelligence, was suspected of selling secrets to the Russians-a catastrophic breach that had cost him his career, his reputation, and eventually his life.Peter knows intimately how one broken rule can cost lives. Nowhere is he more vigilant than in this room, the sanctum of America's secrets. Staffing the night action desk, his job is monitoring an emergency line for a call that has not-and might never-come.Until tonight.At 1:05 a.m. the phone rings. A terrified young woman named Rose tells Peter that her aunt and uncle have just been murdered and that the killer is still in the house with her. Before their deaths, they gave her this phone number with urgent instructions: Tell them OSPREY was right. It's happening. . . The call thrusts Peter into the heart of a conspiracy years in the making, involving a Russian mole at the highest levels of the government. Anyone in the White House could be the traitor. Anyone could be corrupted. To save the nation, Peter must take the rules into his own hands and do the right thing, no matter the cost. He plunges into a desperate hunt for the traitor-a treacherous odyssey that pits him and Rose against some of Russia's most skilled and ruthless operatives and the full force of the FBI itself.Peter knows that the wider a secret is broadcast, the more dangerous it gets for the people at the center. With the fate of the country on the line, he and Rose must evade seasoned assassins and maneuver past jolting betrayals to find the shocking truth-and stop the threat from inside before it's too late.

Mike Ford har ikke den mest åpenbare bakgrunnen til en forretningsadvokat. Han var på full fart inn i en kriminell løpebane før han begynte å studere juss på Harvard. Nå har han fått drømmejobben hos The Davies Group, en mektig politisk lobbyist som blir ledet av den karismatiske Henry Davies. Mike havner midt i maktens sentrum og har mer penger og flere privilegier enn han kunne drømme om. Endelig har brikkene falt på plass. Men snart går det opp for ham at alt har en pris. Henry Davies trenger en til å gjøre utføre et spesielt oppdrag, og valget faller på Mike. Men bare fordi man jobber på lovgivernes side, betyr ikke det at arbeidet er lovlig. Mike oppdager at det ikke er plass til etikk og moral når du arbeider for djevelen. Plutselig må han gjøre alt det han trodde han ikke skulle gjøre igjen: lyve, bedra, stjele og denne gangen kanskje også drepe.

It's no secret that American health care has become too costly and politicized to help everyone. So where do you turn if you can't afford doctors, or don't trust them? In this book, Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling examines the growing universe of non-traditional treatments -- including some that are really non-traditional.With costs skyrocketing and anti-science sentiment spreading, the so-called "medical freedom" movement has grown. Now it faces its greatest challenge: going mainstream. In these pages you'll meet medical freedom advocates including an international leech smuggler, a gold miner-turned health drink salesman who may or may not be from the Andromeda galaxy, and a man who says he can turn people into zombies with aerosol spray. One by one, these alternative healers find customers, then expand and influence, always seeking the one thing that would take their businesses to the next level--the support and approval of the government.Should the government dictate what is medicine and what isn't? Can we have public health when disagreements over science are this profound? No, seriously, can you turn people into flesh-eating zombies? If It Sounds Like a Quack asks these critical questions while telling the story of how we got to this improbable moment, and wondering where we go from here. Buckle up for a bumpy ride...unless you're against seatbelts.
