David Stout0.0 As a fourteen-year-old black boy living in 1940s South Carolina, Linus Bragg should know better than to follow two white girls on bicycles. But something about Sue Ellen and Cindy Lou compels him. Whatever the reason, he follows the girls into the woods. It's the worst mistake he ever makes. When he comes into the clearing, both girls are dead and young Linus is the natural suspect. Forty years later, a nephew of Linus's returns to South Carolina, curious about this dark moment in his family's past. To find the fourth person who visited the clearing that day means re-opening a sinister chapter of the small town's history, which certain men thought had closed forever.
Stuart M. Kaminsky0.0 One Dead Commissar
At an icebound naval weather station in far Siberia, the young daughter of an exiled dies under suspicious circumstances. The high-ranking Commissar sent to investigate the mystery suffers a similar fate: he is murdered by an icicle thrust into his skull.
One Live Cop
Inspector Porfiry Rostnikov is dispatched to solve the Commissar's murder, with one caveat: he is not to investigate the girl's death. Even if all the clues tell him that the two cases are linked.
One Cold Killer
In a single, fateful day, Rostnikov will hear two confessions, watch someone die, conspire against the government, and nearly meet his own death. All under the watchful eye of the KGB -- and someone much closer and infinitely more terrifying.
Тимоти Финдли3.6 Роман «Ложь» привлекает внимание и с точки зрения его чисто литературных достоинств (он написан прекрасным языком, в лучших традициях англоязычной литературы), и с точки зрения мастерски закрученной интриги, и с точки зрения тонкого психологизма. Подзаголовок «Загадка» не случаен. Читатель действительно сталкивается с множеством цепляющихся одно за другое загадочных, странных событий, которые разъясняются лишь на самых последних страницах.
Старый миллионер Колдер Мэддокс найден мертвым на пляже гостиницы, где много лет подряд отдыхают летом одни и те же люди, причем выясняется, что умер этот человек не своей смертью. Фотограф Ванесса Ван Хорн, вовлеченная в лавину странных событий вокруг этой смерти, в конце концов докапывается до правды.
