The enemy isn't overseas. He's in Langley. Donald Pate is the CIA's Director of Operations. He's also a traitor — bought and paid for by Moscow and Tehran. And he knows Aegis is closing in. So he does what traitors do. He sends a kill team. The target: Mateo Vargas's family, at their home on Flathead Lake. Luke Ryder and the men of Aegis have fought wars on five continents. But this time the battlefield is home soil, the enemy wears an American flag pin, and the rules that once protected them now protect him. Defense won't be enough. To end this, Aegis has to go on offense — against one...

Theo Mathis doesn’t regret defying the general manager during his brief stint on the Seattle Rainiers last season. The rainbow tape on his stick cost him dearly, but he’d do it again in a heartbeat… even though it means he’ll never get called up from the minors again while that GM is at the helm. Then a flood of injuries leaves Seattle desperate for players, and Theo gets called up after all. But he’s warned: provoke the GM again, and he will regret it. Except stick tape wasn’t the only line Theo skated over, and the temptation to cross it again has nothing to do with spite.

When a teenager from a wealthy suburb outside Oakland is dumped at an inner city bus stop, homicide detective Matt Sinclair catches the case. It's his first since being bumped to desk duty for a bust that went south - fast. With few leads and plenty of attention, it's the worst kind of case to help him get back up to speed. And it only gets worse as the bodies start to pile up - first at the same bus bench, then around the city. Sinclair is unable to link the victims to each other, and the killer is just getting started.

In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein explodes the myth that America's cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation - that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, he incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation - the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments - that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.

Carrera. A word whispered in fear. A name to avoid at all costs. Until I come face-to-face with it. Abducted. Held against my will. Prisoner of a war I know nothing about. Captive to a ruthless cartel prince who wants more than my freedom.... He wants me. I should hate him…. But the deeper Valentin drags me into his bloodstained world, the harder it becomes to resist. Until that stain? That blood? It becomes mine…. And I'm no longer a prisoner of war. I am the war.

While I'm surprised, it doesn't take long for me to understand that he's everything I need and all I've ever wanted. But then he's gone, and I'm not sure what to do.

Jesse North had a career, a reputation, and a secret — until one punch in front of a national audience cost him the first two and nearly exposed the third.

Near the close of the Cold War era, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency used a highly placed mole within Taiwan's nuclear weapons program to halt the project just as it had accumulated enough plutonium to build a small arsenal of atomic bombs. Crossing the Red Line provides a first-hand account of how the CIA whisked its spy out of Taiwan and shut down the project in 1988. The U.S. had once tacitly supported the nuclear efforts of its Cold War allies -- Taiwan, Israel and South Africa -- all pariah states with hostile enemies on their borders. Yet decades later, America switched its ...
