Описание: How well do you really know the person you love? How far would you go to find out? Description] If there's one person in the world Dr. Lauren Chambers is sure she can rely on, it's her beloved husband, Michael. Recovering from an agoraphobic depression and prone to episodes of blinding anxiety, Lauren is a gifted psychologist for whom her husband's love and support mean everything. So when Michael suddenly and mysteriously vanishes, Lauren once again finds herself balancing on a knife's edge, haunted more than ever by an all-too-familiar paranoia. Is there more to it than anxiety though? Private investigator Nick Bradley believes so. When the pair takes off on a cross-country journey in search of answers, they discover a series of unsettling truths about the husband Lauren believed she knew so well . . . and drive straight into a page-turning tale of concealed identities, an assassin's vendetta, and murderous revenge. Alan Jacobson leads readers on an exhilarating road thriller built for hairpin turns and unexpected detours as Lauren heads for a face-off with the most dangerous secret of all: the truth. The Hunted not only launched the OPSIG Team Black series, it introduced several enigmatic characters that have continued to capture the hearts and minds of readers for fifteen years. "Jacobson keeps readers guessing right up until the last page, so trying to put this book down is like trying not to eat the last chocolate chip cookie: most of us will just give in." -Booklist "This psychological twister breaks the mold of the typical thriller." -BookReporter.com "The Hunted is a wild page-turning ride through all kinds of interesting turns and corners and unexpected twists. . . . It's a well put-together and well thought-out book, one I guarantee you're not going to put down." -National Public Radio

Описание: When a potent firebomb destroys part of an art gallery in an exclusive London district, FBI profiler Karen Vail is dispatched to England to work with Scotland Yard on drafting a threat assessment to head off future attacks. But Vail soon discovers that at the heart of the bombing lies a four-hundred-forty-year-old manuscript that holds clues to England's past-with dramatic political and social implications. The manuscript's content is so explosive that a group of political radicals is bent on destroying it at all costs. Or is it the work of someone else? The trail leads Vail to a notorious fugitive who has escaped law enforcement for decades, and who appears to be planning a major attack on London and the United States. When Hector DeSantos, banished from the US Department of Defense and now a rogue covert operative, turns up in England and takes actions that threaten Vail's life, she finds herself on the run from the British security service, Scotland Yard, and a group of internationally trained assassins-all determined to silence her . . . all tightening the net to ensure that she's got no way out. With his trademark spirited dialogue, page-turning scenes, and well-drawn characters, national bestselling author Alan Jacobson ("My kind of writer," says Michael Connelly) has once again crafted an intelligent, twisting thriller destined to be talked about long after the last page has been turned. "Vail is a terrific character and . . . Jacobson knows how to throw in plot twists that are shocking but logical . . . in] this outstanding thriller." -Library Journal, starred review "FBI agent Karen Vail is one of thrillerdom's feistiest heroines, and No Way Out gives her the most original problem yet: who's willing to kill to save Shakespeare's reputation? Jacobson mixes rocket-paced suspense with fascinating history in this thrill ride of a book." -Joseph Finder, New York Times-bestselling author "Alan Jacobson is a wonderfully vivid writer, with a sharp, dark eye for detail. No Way Out captures the vagaries of English society with humor, while not breaking stride from what is a thrilling and uniquely British story." -Peter James, international bestselling author "Jacobson has written the thriller of the year-fast plot, incredible character development, and chilling atmosphere. No Way Out has everything you can ask for in a thriller, plus the bonus of reading a book which you'll re-read and which will never turn up in a second hand bookstore." -Andrew Gulli, managing editor, the StrandMagazine "What fun to read . . . Don't say you weren't warned." -New York Journal of Books "Alan Jacobson's newest installment in the popular Karen Vail series is a riveting jaunt across the pond. The complexity of the plot mixed with the well-researched setting and Vail's signature style, make for a fast-paced, thrilling read where Jacobson offers you the best ticket in town. No Way Out is explosive " -Suspense Magazine "No Way Out is the latest in the Karen Vail series. Karen is out of her usual serial killer profiling arena, and deep in black ops and terrorists with DeSantos. The two characters, though different in their approach, are after the same goal . . . stop a ricin attack in the UK. I liked the interaction between the two main characters and the complexity of operating without official sanctions. Another good addition to the Karen Vail series." -LibraryThing Alan Jacobson is the national bestselling author of the critically acclaimed thrillers False Accusations, The Hunted, The 7th Victim, Crush, Velocity, and Inmate 1577.
