Shall we?
Let's.
The Guilty, by David Baldacci. Will Robie is the government's most professional, disciplined, and
lethal assassin. He infiltrates the most hostile countries in the world,
defeats our enemies' advanced security measures, and eliminates threats
before they ever reach our shores. But now, his skills have left
him. Sent overseas on a critical assignment, he fails, unable to pull
the trigger. Absent his talents, Robie is a man without a mission, and
without a purpose. To recover what he has lost, Robie must confront what he has tried to forget for over twenty years: his own past.
The Crossing, by Michael Connelly. Detective Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD, but his
half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, needs his help. A woman
has been brutally murdered in her bed and all evidence points to
Haller's client, a former gang member turned family man. Though the
murder rap seems ironclad, Mickey is sure it's a setup. Bosch
doesn't want anything to do with crossing the aisle to work for the
defense. He feels it will undo all the good he's done in his thirty
years as a homicide cop. But Mickey promises to let the chips fall where
they may. If Harry proves that his client did it, under the rules of
discovery, they are obliged to turn over the evidence to the
prosecution.
Crimson Shore, by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. A seemingly straightforward private case turns out to be much more
complicated-and sinister-than Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast ever could
have anticipated.
Pendergast, together with his ward Constance Greene, travels to the quaint seaside village of Exmouth, Massachusetts, to investigate the theft of a priceless wine collection. But inside the wine cellar, they find something considerably more disturbing: a bricked-up niche that once held a crumbling skeleton.
Pendergast and Constance soon learn that Exmouth is a town with a very dark and troubled history, and this skeleton may be only the first hint of an ancient transgression, kept secret all these years. But they will discover that the sins of the past are still very much alive. Local legend holds that during the 1692 witch trials in Salem, the real witches escaped, fleeing north to Exmouth and settling deep in the surrounding salt marshes, where they continued to practice their wicked arts...
