Dokonalé manželstvo vedie k dokonalému zločinu. Každý príbeh má dve strany... rovnako ako každý človek. Láska Maddie a Iana sa začala náhodným stretnutím na večierku v Macedónsku. Tu v humanitárnej organizácii pracuje Maddina najlepšia priateľka Jo. Maddy ju chodí navštevovať z blízkeho Bulharska, kde vyučuje angličtinu a získava informácie do turistického sprievodcu. Príťažlivý Ian je členom ochranky, za sebou má temné roky vo vojnových zónach a lásky či záväzkov sa obáva. Ich cesty sa nadlho rozídu, nie však navždy. Teraz, po mnohých rokoch, sú Maddie a Ian manželia a so svojím krásnym synčekom Charliem žijú zdanlivo dokonalý život v malom meste. Maddie po nehode na stanovačke zostane škaredá jazva a začne chodiť na terapiu písaním. Psychologičke postupne odhalí svoj strach z Iana, obavy o bezpečnosť ich synčeka a komplikovanú, búrlivú minulosť dvojice, ktorej súčasťou bola aj Jo. Z Balkánu do Anglicka, z Iraku na Manhattan a nakoniec do obyčajného rodinného domu v Kansase – šestnásť rokov lásky a strachu, dobrodružstiev a podozrení vyvrcholí dňom, keď zúfalý tiesňový hovor privedie políciu na miesto desivého zločinu.

The explosive new Cotton Malone thriller by the international bestseller Steve Berry.
The 16th Amendment to the Constitution legalized federal income tax, but what if there were problems with the 1913 ratification of that amendment? Problems that call into question decades of tax collecting, and could even bring down the US economy. There is a surprising truth to this possibility - a truth wholly entertained by Steve Berry, a top-ten New York Times bestselling writer, in his new thriller, The Patriot Threat. His protagonist, Cotton Malone, once a member of an elite intelligence division within the Justice Department known as the Magellan Billet, is now retired. But when his former-boss, Stephanie Nelle, asks him to track a rogue North Korean who may have acquired some top secret Treasury Department files-the kind that could bring the United States to its knees-Malone is vaulted into a harrowing twenty-four-hour chase that begins on the water in Venice and ends in the remote highlands of Croatia. With appearances by Franklin Roosevelt, Andrew Mellon, and a curious painting that still hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Steve Berry's trademark mix of history and suspense is 90% fact and 10% exciting speculation.
Eminent scientist Dr Ralph Padley is dying - and he knows it's time to finally tell the truth. Padley has a dark secret, which, if it got out, would have deadly consequences. But there are powerful men who will stop at nothing to silence him. FBI Special Agent Reilly has an agenda of his own. For months he has sought the man who kidnapped and brainwashed his five-year-old son. But that man is a ghost - a highly protected CIA official with no name and no identity, and who may have links to Reilly's own father. Watched, manipulated, and framed for crimes he didn't commit, Reilly becomes a fugitive, making it next to impossible for him to uncover the truth about his past while protecting the family he loves. He's left with no choice but to risk everything to unearth secrets that would shake the country to its core - if he's ever allowed to get that far.
