Mordjakt i ett London satt i karantän - av författaren till Lewis-trilogin
London - epicentret för en global pandemi - är en stad i total lockdown. Undantagstillstånd har utfärdats, gatorna sjuder av våld och ingen går säker för det dödliga virus som redan krävt tusentals offer. På en byggarbetsplats där ett akutsjukhus håller på att uppföras hittas en tidig morgon kvarlevorna av ett mördat barn. Den hemlighet som uppenbarligen var tänkt att begravas under den nya byggnaden ligger nu i öppen dager, men under rådande omständigheter har mördaren fortfarande oddsen på sin sida och polisen har en minst sagt svår utredning framför sig. Det otacksamma uppdraget faller på kriminalkommissarie Jack MacNeil, som om bara lite mer än ett dygn ska sluta som polis. Hans karriär ligger i spillror, äktenskapet är över och under sin sista dag tvingas han också konstatera att den till synes ohejdbara pandemin nu även drabbat hans egen familj. När han börjar nysta i fallet inser han snart att någon där ute övervakar honom på mycket nära håll. Någon som är beredd att döda igen för att dölja sanningen. Frågan är vad som kommer att stoppa MacNeil först - viruset eller mördaren? I översättning av Åsa Brolin.
PETER MAY [f. 1951] är en flerfaldigt prisbelönt skotsk romanförfattare, bosatt i Frankrike, vars böcker sålt i över 12 miljoner exemplar. Hans Lewis-trilogi om Edinburgh-polisen Fin Macleod har hyllats av kritikerna både internationellt och i Sverige, och har vunnit en rad priser, bland annat Cezam Prix Littéraire Inter CE i Frankrike och The Barry Award för »Årets bästa kriminalroman« i USA. Lockdown är en fristående thriller om ett brutalt mord i ett London under karantän.
»Verklighetstrogen och otroligt spännande.« Bokprataren

Alice Mellings är den perfekta dottern, den perfekta värdinnan – och den perfekta organisatören. Hon städar, tapetserar, kokar soppa och förhandlar med myndigheter, och håller ihop ett ockuperat hus där en liten vänsterradikal grupp drömmer om handling. Men medan Alice lappar trasiga ledningar och trasiga egon, hårdnar också hennes övertygelse. När drömmarna förskjuts från agitation till sabotage blir frågan inte bara vad de slåss mot – utan vem Alice är när omsorg förvandlas till kontroll och goda avsikter mynnar ut i våld. Med kirurgisk psykologisk skärpa och torr, svart humor dissekerar Lessing ett politiskt klimat där ideologi och privata behov växer ihop. Resultatet är både samtidsroman och idédrama: en studie i hur en moralisk självbild kan bli en rustning – och ett vapen.
I översättning av Annika Preis.
DORIS LESSING [1919–2013] är en av 1900-talets mest inflytelserika engelskspråkiga författare, känd för verk som Det femte barnet och Den femte sanningen. Hon tilldelades Nobelpriset i litteratur 2007. Den goda terroristen visar henne i sin mest obarmhärtigt realistiska form – politiskt skarp, psykologiskt exakt och oroande aktuell.

From the international bestselling author of Dexter come a brilliant new thriller starring Riley Wolfe: a master thief, expert at disguise, and not averse to violence when it's needed. ********'Another blockbuster from a can't-miss master. Enjoy the ride." - David Baldacci'The Dexter creator's new hero-thief is a blast...Far-fetched, foulmouthed and very funny.' - Mark Sanderson, The Times'Vastly entertaining, and written with verve and charm, it ushers in a character that is impossible to forget.' - Geoffrey Wansell, Daily Mail********It's no accident, though, that Riley targets the wealthiest 0.1 percent and is willing to kill them when they're in his way: he despises the degenerate and immoral rich and loves stealing their undeserved and unearned valuables.In this series launch, Riley aims for an extraordinary target in a heist that will make history. Riley will try to steal the Crown Jewels of Iran. Yes, these jewels are worth billions, but the true attraction for grabbing them comes down to one simple fact: it can't be done. Stealing these jewels is absolutely impossible. The collection is guarded by space-age electronics and two teams of heavily armed mercenaries. No one could even think of getting past the airtight security and hope to get away alive, let alone with even a single diamond from the Imperial Collection.No one but Riley Wolfe. He's always liked a challenge. But this challenge may be more than even he can handle. Aside from the impenetrable security, Riley is also pursued by a brilliant and relentless cop who is barely a step behind him.With the aid of his sometime ally, a beautiful woman who is a master art forger, Riley Wolfe goes for the prize that will either make him a legend-or, more likely, leave him dead.
