Moscow exile / by Lawton, John,1949-author.;
"From "quite possibly the best historical novelist we have" (Philadelphia Inquirer), the fourth Joe Wilderness spy thriller, moving from Red Scare-era Washington, DC to a KGB prison near Moscow's Kremlin. In Moscow Exile, John Lawton departs from his usual stomping grounds of England and Germany to jump across the Atlantic to Washington, DC, in the fragile postwar period where the Red Scare is growing noisier every day. Charlotte is a British expatriate who has recently settled in the nation's capital with her second husband, a man who looks intriguingly like Clark Gable, but her enviable dinner parties and soirées aren't the only things she is planning. Meanwhile, Charlie Leigh-Hunt has been posted to Washington as a replacement for Guy Burgess, last seen disappearing around the corner and into the Soviet Union. Charlie is soon shocked to cross paths with Charlotte, an old flame of his, who, thanks to all her gossipy parties, has a packed pocketbook full of secrets she is eager to share. Two decades or so later, in 1969, Joe Wilderness is stuck on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, held captive by the KGB, a chip in a game way above his pay grade--but his old friends Frank and Eddie are going to try to spring him out of the toughest prison in the world. All roads lead back to Berlin, and to the famous Bridge of Spies ... Featuring crackling dialogue, brilliantly plotted Cold War intrigue, and the return of beloved characters, including Inspector Troy, Moscow Exile is a gripping thriller populated by larger-than-life personalities in a Cold War plot that feels strangely in tune with our present"--

The dead of winter / by MacBride, Stuart,author.;
How can you tell who did it when everyone is guilty? It was supposed to be a simple delivery job for DI Victoria Montgomery-Porter and her sidekick, Edward Reekie -- pick up a prisoner from HMP Grampian and take them to their new state-funded home -- but life's never that straightforward. From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy, snow-dusted village, nestled in the heart of Cairngorms National Park. But things aren't quite what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras, it doesn't appear on any modern map, and there's a strict nine-o'clock curfew, because Glenfarach is the last resort for criminals who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population. Victoria's just supposed to drop her 'guest' off and head back to Aberdeen, before the approaching blizzards shut everything down, but when an ex-cop-turned-gangster is discovered skinned alive in his bungalow, someone needs to take charge. The weather's closing in, tensions are mounting, and time's running out -- something nasty has come to Glenfarach, and Victoria is standing right in its way.
