A street detective turned cyber-investigator

Following a disastrous divorce, former New Jersey detective Mickey Gibson is now employed by global investigation company ProEye to track down some of the extremely wealthy who seem bent on not paying their debts.

A woman of mystery

A dangerous game

But will the shocking revelation of her true identity be too later to save her and Mickey?

Amos Decker’s life changed forever — twice.

The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to go pro. But his career ended before it had a chance to begin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field for good, and left him with an improbable side effect — he can never forget anything.

The second time was at home nearly two decades later. Now a police detective, Decker returned from a stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare — his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered.

His family destroyed, their killer’s identity as mysterious as the motive behind the crime, and unable to forget a single detail from that horrible night, Decker finds his world collapsing around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investigator when he can.

But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time a horrific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation. Decker also seizes his chance to learn what really happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution — for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier — when he’s granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime.

Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars’ case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men’s families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth.

The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars — guilty or not — a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now?

But when a member of Decker’s team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger — and more sinister — than just one convicted criminal’s life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.

Vega Jane was always told no one could leave the town of Wormwood. She was told there was nothing outside but the Quag, a wilderness filled with danger and death. And she believed it — until the night she stumbled across a secret that proved that everything she knew was a lie.

Now just one thing stands between Vega Jane and freedom — the Quag. In order to leave Wormwood and discover the truth about her world, Vega and her best friend Delph must find a way to make it across a terrifying land of bloodthirsty creatures and sinister magic. But the Quag is worse than Vega Jane’s darkest imagining. It’s a living, breathing prison designed to keep enemies out and the villagers of Wormwood in.

The Quag will throw everything at Vega Jane. It will try to break her. It will try to kill her. And survival might come at a price not even Vega Jane is willing to pay.

Master storyteller David Baldacci unleashes a hurricane of action and adrenaline that takes readers to the breaking point.

David Buchanan aplica sucias presiones para financiar causas honrosas. Robert Thornhill, un alto cargo de la CIA, descubre el juego y empieza a chantajearle, pues quiere devolver a la CIA el prestigio perdido. Faith Lockhart, una tercera persona implicada en este asunto, opina que se ha ido demasiado lejos y decide confesarlo todo al FBI. Su vida a partir de entonces tiene un precio

As a series of brutal murders darkens the Wrightsburg, Virginia countryside, the killer taunts police by leaving watches on the victims set to the hour corresponding with their position on his hit list. What's more, he strives to replicate notorious murders of the past, improving on them through savage attention to detail. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are already investigating a crime involving an aristocratic and dysfunctional Southern family, but when they're deputized to help in the serial killer hunt they realize the two cases may be connected. Adding to the tension is the appearance of a second killer, this one imitating the murders of the first. Soon, the two killers are playing a game of cat and mouse, with King and Maxwell racing to solve the intricate puzzle of their identities-before the body count escalates.

The 6:20 Man

When CIA operative Jenny Sikwell is murdered in rural Maine, government officials have immediate concerns over national security. Her laptop and phone were full of state secrets that, in the wrong hands, could endanger the lives of countless operatives. In need of someone who can solve the murder quickly and retrieve the missing information, the U.S. government knows just the chameleon on whom it can call.

Ex-Army Ranger Travis Devine spent his time in the military preparing to take on any scenario, followed by his short-lived business career chasing shadows in the deepest halls of power, so his analytical mind makes him particularly well suited for complex, high-stakes tasks. Taking down the world’s largest financial conspiracy proved his value, and in comparison, this case looks straightforward. Except small towns hold secrets, and Devine finds himself an outsider again.

Devine must ingratiate himself with locals who have trusted each other their whole lives, and who distrust outsiders just as much: Dak, Jenny’s brother, who’s working to revitalize the town; Earl, the retired lobsterman who found Jenny’s body; and Alex, Jenny’s sister, with a dark past of her own. As Devine gets to know the residents of Potter, Maine, answers seem to appear and then transform into more questions. There’s a long history of secrets, and people who will stop at nothing to keep them from being exposed — leaving Devine with no idea whom he can trust... and who wants him dead.

Cuando Sidney Archer despidió a su marido, el cual iba a tomar un avión rumbo a Los Ángeles, no podía sospechar que para ella comenzaba una nueva vida.

En primer lugar, el avión se estrelló; las investigaciones posteriores revelaron que había sido víctima de un sabotaje; después descubrió que su marido había supuestamente robado secretos de la empresa en la que trabajaba para venderlos a la competencia.

Pero con todo ello, apenas si habían comenzado sus tribulaciones: las múltiples sospechas que recaen sobre su marido colocan a Sidney en el punto de mira del FBI, que la considera cómplice de él. Pero además, la convierten en objetivo de una cacería implacable, un acoso en el que todos los caminos que llevan a ella están sembrados de cadáveres. El trofeo: controlar las redes de información del siglo XXI.

Acosado por los hombres del servicio de seguridad del presidente y por el sargento de policia, Luther debera salvar su pellejo y el de su hija.

Baldacci ha sido el guinista de la película basada en su libro, dirigida y protagonizada por Clint Eastwood en el papel de Luther.

l destino sembra sorridere a LuAnn, giovane disoccupata: il misterioso signor Jackson le offre infatti il biglietto vincente di una lotteria che vale milioni di dollari. Ma prima di riuscire a godere della sua grande occasione, la ragazza trova a casa il cadavere del suo uomo in un lago di sangue e si scopre braccata dalla polizia, preda di una trappola mortale.

Un intrigo micidiale, costruito come un congegno a orologeria.

Un uomo incappucciato scarica un sacco nella boscaglia. Dentro il sacco, un cadavere. È solo il primo di una serie di omicidi che funesterà la cittadina di Wrightsburg, in West Virginia. L’autore è un serial killer che si firma copiando i modus operandi di famosi assassini seriali. È possibile che gli omicidi abbiano una relazione con lo strano furto effettuato nella lussuosa residenza di un’aristocratica famiglia locale? Apparentemente no, ma l’istinto di Sean King e Michelle Maxwell dà spazio a entrambe le indagini. E sarà al termine di un.avventura rischiosa che Sean e Michelle arriveranno alla fine della storia. Per vedere quanto l’uomo può essere cattivo e quali cose è pronto a fare perché i suoi segreti rimangano tali.

It all begins when Freddy Funkhauser, an off-beat nine-year-old with a knack for science, embarks on an ambitious plan to win new customers for the family business, The Burger Castle. But when his secret invention ends up working better than he'd ever dreamed, his plans go wildly awry as his kooky companions wreak havoc in every corner of Freddy's world.

David Baldacci now turns his tremendous thrill-creating talent to side-splitting storytelling in this hilarious adventure for middle-grade readers about fame, friends, and family.

Creo que con este es el tercer libro que leo de David Baldacci. Hasta ahora los libros que he leído suyos eran de intriga, pero este es totalmente distinto. En este caso es una novela que describe el cambio de vida que tienen que llevar a cabo dos hermanos, que se trasladan con su abuela a las montañas de Virginia. La novela transcurre en la época de la guerra mundial y refleja de una manera bastante realista lo dura que es la vida en las montañas, tanto para los agricultores y ganaderos como la gente que explotaba las minas de carbón.

La novela está bien escrita y disfrutas de la historia, en la que es importante meterse en la piel de los protagonistas. Como unos niños viven las circunstancias que les han tocado vivir y como se adaptan a una vida tan distinta a la que llevaban hasta ese momento en la ciudad.

Un libro entrañable, en el que las relaciones familiares tienen gran importancia. No comento nada del final para no chafar la novela.

Buen libro para descansar de la traca de novelas negras que os estaba metiendo ultimamente.

El Camel Club entra de nuevo en acción. Son cuatro ciudadanos peculiares con una misma meta: buscar la verdad, algo difícil en Washington. Esta vez el asesinato del presidente de la Cámara de Representantes sacude Estados Unidos. Y el Camel Club encuentra una sorprendente conexión con otra muerte: la del director del departamento de Libros Raros y Especiales de la Biblioteca del Congreso. Los miembros del club se precipitarán en un mundo de espionaje, códigos cifrados y coleccionistas.

David Baldacci’s much-loved protagonists Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are having trouble adjusting to life in the wake of the terrible events that drove them to the brink in HOUR GAME. Dogged by hidden demons from her past, then almost killed in a barroom brawl, Michelle agrees to try therapy at a mental-health facility, where she simultaneously busts a criminal drug-dealing ring! Meanwhile, to right their shared career in the private security sector, Sean accepts an offer to investigate a mysterious death at a scientific think tank called Babbage Town, located suspiciously close to the CIA’s infamous yet covert training camp – "The Farm". In Babbage Town, the security is tight as the world’s scientific geniuses race to invent technologies powerful enough to conquer the most sophisticated microprocessor. Michelle soon joins Sean, and before long both find themselves pawns in a terrifying game whose elusive players cite threats to national security as justification for their most heinous crimes.

Known by his alias, "Oliver Stone," John Carr is the most wanted man in America. With two pulls of the trigger, the men who destroyed Stone's life and kept him in the shadows were finally silenced.

But his freedom comes at a steep price: The assassinations he carried out prompt the highest levels of the U.S. government to unleash a massive manhunt. Behind the scenes, master spy Macklin Hayes is playing a very personal game of cat and mouse. He, more than anyone, wants Stone dead.

With their friend and unofficial leader in hiding, the members of the Camel Club risk everything to save him. Now, as the hunters close in, Stone's flight from the demons of his past will take him from the power corridors of Washington, D.C., to the small, isolated coal-mining town of Divine, Virginia-and into a world every bit as lethal as the one he left behind.
