The third book in the bestselling Chronicles of St Mary's series which follows a group of tea-soaked disaster magnets as they hurtle their way around History. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor. History happens all around you. And, occasionally, to you. I could have been a bomb-disposal expert, or a volunteer for the Mars mission, or a firefighter, something safe and sensible. But, no, I had to be an historian. It began well. A successful assignment to 17th century Cambridge to meet Isaac Newton, and another to witness the historic events at The Gates of Grief. So far so good. But then came the long-awaited jump to the Trojan War that changed everything. And for Max, nothing will ever be the same again. With the bloody Battle of Agincourt playing out around her, Max risks everything on one last desperate gamble to save a life and learns the true meaning of a second chance.

After 9/11, the U.S. struck a secretive deal to bury evidence against the Saudis involved in the attacks, with King Faisal agreeing to maintain oil supplies and address threats within his kingdom. However, when the king's nephew is found funding ISIS, the president doubts the Saudis' commitment to the agreement. He enlists Mitch Rapp to send a message, but Rapp must operate independently, as America cannot be seen acting against an ally. Quitting the CIA, Rapp gathers a team of independent contractors to investigate the ties between the Saudi government and ISIS. Their efforts attract the attention of the new head of the intelligence directorate, who threatens to expose the post-9/11 agreement, risking an international incident that could jeopardize the president's career. In response, the president orders intelligence agencies to assist the Saudis in capturing Rapp. Alone and pursued by a powerful manhunt, Rapp, with a team of mercenaries of questionable loyalty, races against time to clear his name and confront the Saudis. The stakes are high, and Rapp must navigate a treacherous path where capture or death looms near. Will he succeed in turning the tables?

"What scares you? Ex-FBI profiler, Jefferson Winter is in Berlin, hunting down a serial killer who terrorises his victims by bringing them face to face with their greatest fears. So far, three women have been abducted and murdered. A DVD that shows the women being tortured has been left at each of the crime scenes, a detail that echoes a killer who operated in Berlin five years earlier, one the media nicknamed Warhol because of the 15 minute long films he left with his victims. Warhol was never caught. He killed five young women then suddenly stopped. But Winter knows that serial killers don't just stop. The police think they are dealing with a copycat killer, but what if the real Warhol is behind the latest killings? And if it is him, what has been doing for the last five years?"--Provided by publisher
