Tento román Vás přinutí zeptat se na podstatu zla: Narodíme se s ním, nebo je nám dáno výchovou? Bennie Rosatová vypadá přesně jako její identické dvojče Alice Connelyová, ale temnota v Alicině duši z nich dělá dvě úplně odlišné ženy.Bennie je narozdíl od Alice zodpovědnější a jako úspěšná městská právnička i o mnoho bohatší, což je Alici trnem v oku. Bennie si to uvědomí až ve chvíli, kdy se ocitne zaživa pochovaná rukama svého vlastního dvojčete. Za ten čas Alice převezme sestřin život, vydává se za ni i v práci a dokonce svede jejího přítele, aby unikla smrtonosnému chaosu ve svém vlastním životě. Alice však podcenila Bennie, jako i její odhodlání zůstat naživu tak dlouho, aby se mohla pomstít. Bennie se musí smířit se zvrácenou pravdou, že se Alici podobá víc, než si myslela, a v šokujícím závěru románu se ocitne v bitvě, kterou nemůže vyhrát - sama se sebou. Lisa Scottoline píše strhující thrillery plné emocí s prudkým spádem a živými postavami - i proto je Pochovaná zaživa thrillerem, který Vás doslova pohltí.

David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three year old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way. David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son's. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely. Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl's sister arrives - and drops a bombshell. She's come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can't be, he knows it is. It's Matthew, and he's still alive. David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.

Jack Reacher gets off the bus in a sleepy no-name town outside Nashville, Tennessee. He plans to grab a cup of coffee and move right along. Not going to happen. The town has been shut down by a cyber attack. At the centre of it all, whether he likes it or not, is Rusty Rutherford. He's an average IT guy, but he knows more than he thinks. As the bad guys move in on Rusty, Reacher moves in on them . . . And now Rusty knows he's protected, he's never going to leave the big man's side.

Je to zabijak s pokriveným videním sveta a s absolútnou absenciou súcitu. Detektív Sam Porter ho prenasleduje dlhých päť rokov a po celý ten čas od neho dostáva balíčky s desivým obsahom. Každá doručená zásielka obsahuje časť tela zavraždenej obete. Teraz však došlo k významnému zvratu v pátraní: Porterovi sa dostal do rúk vrahov denník. Podarí sa mu zo šialencových zápiskov vydedukovať jeho osobnosť?

Advies: leg Reacher geen strobreed in de weg. Jack Reacher maakt een wandelingetje in een stad in de Amerikaanse Midwest. In de etalage van een pandjeshuis valt zijn oog toevallig op een sierraad, een kleine damesring van de militaire academie West Point. Wie zou van zoiets afstand doen? Jack Reacher gaat op zoek naar de eigenaresse en laat zich niet dwarsbomen.

Život detektíva Napoleona Dumasa, zvaného Nap, z predmestia v New Jersey sa navždy zmenil v poslednom ročníku strednej školy. Jeho brata, dvojča Lea, a priateľku Dianu vtedy našli mŕtvych na železničnej trati a Maura, ktorú pokladal za svoju životnú lásku, bez akéhokoľvek vysvetlenia zmizla. Celých pätnásť rokov Nap pátral po Maure a nepodarilo sa mu ani vysvetliť Leovu smrť. Teraz sa zdá, že by napokon predsa len mohol dosiahnuť, po čom tak veľmi túži. V aute podozrivého z vraždy sa nájdu Maurine odtlačky a Nap sa vydáva na tŕnistú cestu za odpoveďami. Tie však vedú len k ďalším otázkam – o milovanej žene, o priateľoch z detstva, o ktorých si myslel, že ich pozná, o opustenej vojenskej základni v meste, kde vyrastal, a najmä o Leovi a Diane, ktorých smrť je možno ešte oveľa temnejšia a desivejšia ako v najhorších predstavách.

Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, so a remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat ... but instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a…

You can leave the army, but the army doesn’t leave you. Not always. Not completely, notes Jack Reacher—and sure enough, the retired military cop is soon pulled back into service. This time, for the State Department and the CIA.Someone has taken a shot at the president of France in the City of Light. The bullet was American. The distance between the gunman and the target was exceptional. How many snipers can shoot from three-quarters of a mile with total confidence? Very few, but John Kott—an American marksman gone bad—is one of them. And after fifteen years in prison, he’s out, unaccounted for, and likely drawing a bead on a G8 summit packed with enough world leaders to tempt any assassin.If anyone can stop Kott, it’s the man who beat him before: Reacher. And though he’d rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with Casey Nice, a rookie analyst who keeps her cool with Zoloft. But they’re facing a rough road, full of ruthless mobsters, Serbian thugs, close calls, double-crosses—and no backup if they’re caught. All the while Reacher can’t stop thinking about the woman he once failed to save. But he won’t let that that happen again. Not this time. Not Nice.Reacher never gets too close. But now a killer is making it personal.

A tour bus crashes in a savage snowstorm and lands Jack Reacher in the middle of a deadly confrontation. In nearby Bolton, South Dakota, one brave woman is standing up for justice in a small town threatened by sinister forces--and Reacher will risk his own to save her from a coldly proficient assassin who never misses.

Jack Reacher sa po náročnej ceste konečne dostáva do svojho cieľa v severovýchodnej Virgínii: do hlavného stanu svojho starého pôsobiska, sto desiatej jednotky vojenskej polície. Chladná kamenná budova preňho znamená jediný domov, aký kedy mal. Už dlho sa túžil osobne stretnúť s novou veliacou dôstojníčkou, majorkou Susan Turnerovou, ktorú dovtedy poznal len v podobe vzrušujúceho hlasu z telefónu. Na jeho nemilé prekvapenie však za veliteľským stolom žiadna žena nesedí. A na Reachera tu navyše čakajú dve mimoriadne nepríjemné správy – jedna veľmi osobná a jedna, ktorá by ho mohla poslať do väzenia. Čo sa stalo so Susan Turnerovou? A ako sa dostať z kolotoča obvinení? Na to musí Jack prísť za každú cenu.

When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly set, freshly busted nose - it isn't easy to hitch a ride. At last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman. Within minutes it becomes clear they're all lying about everything - and there's a police roadblock ahead. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys ... Will they get through because the three are innocent? Or because the three are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy? 'He could take out Bond, Dirty Harry, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt with both hands tied behind his back. And then sleep with their girlfriends two at a time before getting the last bus out of town' Sun

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into terror. But within hours the cops have it solved. A slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man claims: You got the wrong guy. After that, all he ll say is: Get Reacher for me

Jack Reacher is even intrigerend als onderhoudend, even spannend als verslavend. Mannen willen hem zijn en vrouwen willen hem hebben. Reacher is op weg naar Langley, naar het hoofdkwartier van de CIA. Zijn oude afdeling daar heeft een nieuwe leider. Ze heet Susan en hij wil haar ontmoeten. Onderweg door Nebraska struikelt Reacher echter over een lokaal drama: een familie met een transportbedrijf houdt de omwonende boerengezinnen in een stalen greep van angst.

It wasn't the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial site does something nobody is supposed to see ... where a small plane takes off every night and returns seven hours later ... where a garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops --the kind of soldiers Reacher once commanded--waits and watches ... where above all two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and hope for their return. Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair--against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him--and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that's killing Americans by the thousand.

From the first shocking scenes in Child's explosive new novel, Jack Reacher is plunged into the heart of a conspiracy that is killing old friends and is on its way to becoming something even worse.
