- Bad, bad Seymour Brown / by Isaacs, Susan,1943-author.;
"When Corie Geller asked her parents to move from their apartment into the suburban McMansion she shares with her husband and teenage daughter, she assumed they'd fit right in with the placid life she'd opted for when she left the Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI. But then her dad gets a call from genial and slightly nerdy film professor, April Brown--one of the victims of the case he was never able to solve. When April was five years old, she'd emerged unscathed from the arson that killed her parents. Now, two decades later, she's asking for help. Someone has made another attempt on her life. It takes only a nanosecond for Corie and her dad to say Absolutely! and kick off a full-fledged investigation. If they don't move fast, whoever attacked April is sure to strike again. But while her late father, Seymour Brown, was the go-to money launderer for the Russian mob--a brilliant, volatile, and violent man with a penchant for Swiss watches and cheating on his wife--April Brown has no enemies. Popular with her students, esteemed by colleagues, her only connection to crime is her passion for the noir movies of Hollywood's golden age. Who would want April dead now? And who set that horrific fire, all those years ago? The stakes have never been higher. Yet as Corie and her dad have come to understand, they still live for the chase."--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Novels.; Arson; Cold cases (Criminal investigation); Criminal investigation; Ex-police officers; Fathers and daughters; Murder for hire; Organized crime; Women college teachers; Women detectives;

- The border / by Winslow, Don,1953-author.;
"The explosive, highly anticipated conclusion to the epic Cartel trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Force. What do you do when there are no borders? When the lines you thought existed simply vanish? How do you plant your feet to make a stand when you no longer know what side you're on? The war has come home. For over forty years, Art Keller has been on the front lines of America's longest conflict: The War On Drugs. His obsession to defeat the world's most powerful, wealthy, and lethal kingpin--the godfather of the Sinaloa Cartel, Adan Barrera--has left him bloody and scarred, cost him people his loves, even taken a piece of his soul. Now Keller is elevated to the highest ranks of the DEA, only to find that in destroying one monster he has created thirty more that are wreaking even more chaos and suffering in his beloved Mexico. But not just there. Barrera's final legacy is the heroin epidemic scourging America. Throwing himself into the gap to stem the deadly flow, Keller finds himself surrounded by enemies--men that want to kill him, politicians that want to destroy him, and worse, the unimaginable--an incoming administration that's in bed with the very drug traffickers that Keller is trying to bring down. Art Keller is at war with not only the cartels, but with his own government. And the long fight has taught him more than he ever imagined. Now, he learns the final lesson--there are no borders. In a story that moves from deserts south of the border to Wall Street, from the slums of Guatemala to the marbled corridors of Washington, D.C., Winslow follows a new generation of narcos, the cops that fight them, the street traffickers, the addicts, the politicians, money-launderers, real-estate moguls and mere children fleeing the violence for the chance of a life in a new country. A shattering tale of vengeance, violence, corruption and justice, this last novel in Don Winslow's magnificent, award-winning, internationally bestselling trilogy is packed with unforgettable, drawn-from-the-headlines scenes. Shocking in its brutality, raw in its humanity, Untitledis an unflinchingportrait of modern America, a story of--and for--our time"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); United States.
