The Cat has developed a brilliant new plan to make himself millions, but to pull it off, he needs to track down a key man who is hiding out from the Yakuza in one of the most isolated areas of Japan. The Lust, Money & Murder Japanese Trilogy features the usual cast of captivating characters—Elaine Brogan, Luna Faye, Nick LaGrange, Dmitry, Tony, and of course the notorious Cattoretti. The Japanese Trilogy, Book 2 - The Invisible Manhunt: (Lust, Money & Murder Series Book 14) When Giorgio Cattoretti enlists the help of Elaine Brogan to track down the international serial killer he unknowingly let loose on the world, Elaine reluctantly agrees. She believes that the deranged murderer knows the location of The Factory, the illegal passport production facility that she’s been after for months. When Elaine and Luna Faye ask to be put in charge of the case, they’re forced to cooperate with a team of competing foreign crime specialists who, above all else, must not learn the killer’s true identity. Elaine’s relentless pursuit takes her from Lyon, France, to Kiev, Ukraine, to Budapest Hungary, to Dubai, UAE, and finally, to Barcelona, Spain. The Japanese Trilogy, Book 3: (Lust, Money & Murder #15) Thanks to Elaine Brogan, Giorgio Cattoretti finally finds himself behind bars in one of the worst maximum security penitentiaries in Europe. He’s desperate to find a way out. Meanwhile, Elaine and Luna Faye continue their effort to track down The Factory, even though their boss has ordered them to drop the case. A rapidly-unfolding series of events leads Elaine to Japan, where she is pitted not only against Cattoretti and the Yakuza criminals but, to her astonishment, even her own husband. The last book of The Japanese Trilogy reaches an explosive climax that will have you turning the pages faster and faster until you reach the very end.

Renata Richardson thought her dream summer job on a Mediterranean beach would be the just escape she needed. Instead, she becomes the target of a brutal attack by a group of wealthy businessmen, handpicked for their money and power. But Renata isn’t just another victim—they picked the wrong girl. After the local police turn a deaf ear to her report, Renata is fueled by rage and determined to mete out her own version of justice. And the hunt begins. She tracks down the private jet that delivered the men to the island, sneaking a look at the flight logs during a control tower tour to identify the plane. Armed with the pilot’s name, she begins to track down him and those who participated in the attack. This leads to a deadly, globetrotting spree of revenge, where Renata uses small, memorized details from the assault—a pinkie ring, a mole, an unusual voice—to make sure she’s never wrong about her target. Each man leads her to the next, and she cleverly finds a way to gain access to each one, using false identities and even disguises. As she works her way up the chain, she knows the real prize is still out there: the mastermind who orchestrated it all for an obscene amount of money, giving instructions while he watched the horrific crime unfold. But Renata isn’t the only one in pursuit. An FBI agent is soon hot on her heels, determined to bring her down before she can complete her mission. The tension builds as Renata races against time—can she track down every last one of them and catch the mastermind before the agent catches her? Will she get away with her vengeance, or will justice catch up with her first? Renata’s Revenge is a taut, high-octane thriller packed with clever twists, meticulous planning, and heart-pounding suspense. Perfect for fans of strong female leads and relentless justice. Note: The premise for this fictional story is based on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficking scandal.

When a Stanford University physicist is kidnapped and whisked away to a top-secret research facility near Moscow, he finds that a Russian oligarch has developed a “free energy” machine based on the lost work of Nikola Tesla. There, he is forced to finish developing the earthshaking invention. If perfected, the machine will provide unlimited, pollution-free electrical energy extracted from the earth’s very atmosphere. In so doing, it would make the oil, gas and alternative energy industries obsolete. It could also solve the world’s problems with poverty and perhaps even climate change. Torn between his scientific ego and the fact that people driven by profit alone are in control of technology that has such monumental humanitarian potential, the professor reluctantly begins to help with the project. Working side-by-side with him is a beautiful woman from Tajikistan who has special knowledge related to the device’s operation and is also being held against her will. The professor soon develops feelings for her, and they both try to escape, which takes them on a harrowing chase through Moscow. The two are relentlessly pursued not only by the Russian oligarch and his henchmen, but by an oil industry cartel who will stop at nothing to keep the disruptive technology hidden from the world. Readers of Dan Brown, Michael Crichton, Robert Ludlum, Blake Crouch, and Nelson DeMille will enjoy this exciting, well-researched techno-thriller.

Ciudad Juarez lies just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas. A once-thriving border town, it now resembles a failed state. Infamously known as the place where women disappear, its murder rate exceeds that of Baghdad. In Murder City, Charles Bowden-one of the few journalists who spent extended periods of time in Juarez-has written an extraordinary account of what happens when a city disintegrates. Interweaving stories of its inhabitants-a beauty queen who was raped, a repentant hitman, a journalist fleeing for his life-with a broader meditation on the town's descent into anarchy, Bowden reveals how Juarez's culture of violence will not only worsen, but inevitably spread north. Heartbreaking, disturbing, and unforgettable, Murder City was written at the height of his powers and established Bowden as one of America's leading journalists.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and one of the world’s greatest storytellers comes "an insistently metaphysical mind-bender” (The New Yorker) about a teenager on the run and an aging simpleton. Now with a new introduction by the author. Here we meet 15-year-old runaway Kafka Tamura and the elderly Nakata, who is drawn to Kafka for reasons that he cannot fathom. As their paths converge, acclaimed author Haruki Murakami enfolds readers in a world where cats talk, fish fall from the sky, and spirits slip out of their bodies to make love or commit murder, in what is a truly remarkable journey. “As powerful as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.... Reading Murakami ... is a striking experience in consciousness expansion.” —The Chicago Tribune
