Everyone dreams of revenge… Sin lives for it. Sin was only nine when her family was slaughtered by crime lord Kolya Kurev. She’s had nothing but time to plan how Koyla and his kin will pay for what they did. But hers wasn’t the only family the Kurev crime lords took down. And now Lee is hot on her heels, as angry as she is and trying to steal her revenge. His methods are haphazard, and he’s got a death wish of his own. He’s going to get them both killed unless Sin can stop him, too. All along, she’s just barely managed to evade capture. In fact, the FBI hasn’t yet figured out their most wanted criminal is just a girl. But, between Lee and the FBI, Sin isn’t likely to make it out of this alive… Readers say A.J. Scudiere’s start to this award-winning trilogy is “seriously one of the best action/suspense books I've ever read.” Vengeance is the first book in the Vendetta Trifecta by USA Today bestselling author A.J. Scudiere. While it can be read as a standalone, be prepared to reach for book two as you finish this one.

He enlists the help of his ex-girlfriend and sets out to learn where the drugs are coming from, and how to make them stop.

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Harlan Coben, a dead man's secrets fall into the hands of a vigilante antihero—drawing him down a dangerous road. Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors — and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead — not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on another FBI cold case — with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man. Windsor Horne Lockwood III — or Win, as his few friends call him — doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism — and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice.

Genre: Literary Criticism
ISBN:

Mystery fiction as a genre renders moral judgments not only about detectives and criminals but also concerning the cultural structures within which these mysteries unfold. In contrast to other volumes which examine morality in crime fiction through the lenses of personal guilt and personal justice, Certainty and Ambiguity in Global Mystery Fiction analyzes the effect of moral imagination on the moral structures implicit in the genre. In recent years, public awareness has attended to the relationship between social structures and justice, and this collection centers on how personal ethics and social ethics are bound together amidst the shifting moral landscapes of mystery fiction. Contributors discuss the interplay between personal guilt and social guilt – considering morality and justice on an individual level and at a societal level – using frameworks of certainty and ambiguity. They show how individual characters in works by Agatha Christie, Gabriel García Márquez, Natsuo Kirino, F.H. Batacan, and Stephen King, among others, may view their moral standing with certainty but clash with the established mores of their culture. Featuring essays on Japanese, Filipino, Indian, and Colombian mystery fiction, as well as American and British fiction, this volume analyzes social guilt and justice across cultures, showing how individuals grapple with the certainty, and, at times, the moral ambiguity, of their respective cultures.
