Hardback. Condizione: Good. A hypnotic literary mystery thriller about a murder at a secluded research facility and the secrets that it exposes. - Cyber thievery, lust, corporate espionage, and a host of deleterious secrets comprise the chords of this sweeping, riveting symphony. A bold and original thriller by a masterful storyteller. --Elizabeth Brundage, author of The Vanishing Point Looming high above the cliffside along a remote coastline, Ondstrand House is the headquarters of the shadowy biotech firm Ondstrand Biologic. When the body of the organization's most gifted young scientist, Allegra Stans, is discovered in a walk-in refrigerator--her neck has been broken--Agent Myles is called in to investigate. Myles works for Standard Division, the most feared element of a vast state security apparatus, and he's been dispatched to the brooding manor, a massive stone campus that once housed a notorious boarding school, to do what Standard Division agents do best--complete the task at hand. As his investigation proceeds, Myles discovers that gifted scientist is only one thread in the complicated fabric of Allegra's life. There are darker strands as well--of ambition, manipulation, and bitter grievance--all woven into a pattern of secrets, each presenting a reasonable motive for murder. It appears everyone has something to hide, including Allegra's colleagues, lovers, and former lovers--even the very halls of Ondstrand House itself. Questions continue to pile up: What interest does Standard Division, an organization best known for intelligence gathering and clandestine international operations, have in this seemingly straightforward case? Could the killing have anything to do with the sprawling estate's sordid past? And what, exactly, is this research facility researching? Before long, another murder is discovered, and Myles finds himself an increasingly unwelcome presence in an ever more hostile landscape with few allies and fewer answers.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. From Peter Spiegelman, author of the award-winning Black Maps (A stunner, a great debut roaring out of the gate--Newsday), a relentlessly exciting, masterfully written new thriller featuring New York City private investigator John March. This time March has been hired to find missing Wall Street analyst Gregory Danes. Once ubiquitous on television, Danes's star went into steep decline along with the stock market: now he's best known for his volatile temper and his obsession with restoring his tattered reputation. His ex-wife, a fashionable painter, wants to know why the alimony checks have stopped arriving. But what appears to be a straightforward missing persons case quickly becomes something much more deadly. March unearths a rat's nest of family strife, business betrayals, and deceptions, and finds that Danes left a long line of enemies in his troubled wake--some of whom are also hunting for the missing man. March's investigation now takes on a terrifying urgency as it leads him through the corrupt corridors of white-collar crime and the underworld of the Russian mob, and into the more intricate maze of the human heart.…
