Thomas Perry Knihy

Akčný kriminálny román. Plány Jane Whitefieldovej skríži bývalý klient, ktorý má v pätách dvojicu nájomných vrahov. Profesionálna česť jej diktuje opäť si overiť svoje schopnosti – tentoraz v drsných podmienkach kanadsko-amerického pohraničia.

Jane Whitefieldová, odvážna mladá žena s výnimočnými fyzickými i psychickými schopnosťami a nezvyčajným povolaním, je vždy ochotná pomáhať ľuďom, ktorým dýcha na krk smrť v podobe ľudských dravcov. Tentoraz však neznámy protivník, ktorý chce vo svojej túžbe po peniazoch pripraviť o život nevinného osemročného chlapca, prekročil všetky hranice ľudskosti. Preto mu Jane neváha hodiť rukavicu napriek vedomiu, že sa zapája do hry plnej smrtonosných pascí, v ktorej nikdy nie je isté, kto je lovec a kto lovná zver. Hoci má Jane v prípadoch získavania novej identity pre potenciálne obete bohaté skúsenosti, prvý raz ju prenasleduje pocit, že nepriateľ je vynikajúci psychológ a disponuje prakticky neobmedzenými možnosťami na stopovanie koristi, a čo je najhoršie, vždy je o krok pred ňou

Vynikajúci triler od majstra napätia Thomasa Perryho. Tajomný muž vystupujúci pod menom Michael Schaeffer sa už roky ukrýva v Anglicku. Chodí na dostihy, stretáva sa s ľuďmi zo šľachtických kruhov a nikto ho nepodozrieva z niečoho nekalého. Pred desiatimi rokmi však bolo všetko inak. Vtedy bol Synom zabijaka, perfektne vyškoleným nájomným vrahom, ktorý rozpútal vojnu v podsvetí. Vtedy na jeho hlavu vypísali odmenu - a teraz ho konečne našli...

Mladá, fyzicky neobyčajne zdatná a psychicky odolná Jane Whitefieldová si vybrala výnosnú, ale vysoko rizikovú živnosť. Jej úlohou je zachraňovať ľudí, na ktorých poľujú profesionáli, čo nepoznajú zľutovanie. Nestačí zamiesť všetky stopy, treba im nájsť aj novú identitu a prostredie, v ktorom budú môcť žiť bez strachu, že za rohom striehne smrť. Navzdory tomu ju prekvapí návštevník, ktorý na ňu čaká jedného dňa po návrate domov. Bývalý policajt obvinený zo sprenevery žiada, aby preňho urobila to isté, čo pre jeho starého priateľa: aby mu pomohla zmiznúť navždy.

A finalist for the Barry Award for Best Thriller Edgar Award-winning author Thomas Perry writes thrillers that move "almost faster than a speeding bullet" ( Wall Street Journal ). The Old Man is his latest whip-smart standalone novel. To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big mutts and a grown daughter he keeps in touch with by phone. But most sixty-year-old widowers don't have multiple driver's licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, and a bugout kit with two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run. Thirty-five years ago, as a young hotshot in army intelligence, Chase was sent to Libya to covertly assist a rebel army. When the plan turned sour, Chase reacted according to his own ideas of right and wrong, triggering consequences he could never have anticipated. And someone still wants him dead because of them. Just as he had begun to think himself finally safe, Chase must reawaken his survival instincts to contend with the history he has spent his adult life trying to escape. Armed mercenaries, spectacularly crashed cars, a precarious love interest, and an unforgettable chase scene through the snow--this is lethal plotting from one of the best in crime fiction.

Change-Prozesse werden in Unternehmen oft als Wunderwaffe gesehen. Vieles soll sich ändern und anders werden. Das Problem ist nur: Neun von zehn Veränderungsprozessen scheitern. Das zeigt eine Studie von vier Beratern und Wissenschaftlern, die kritisch hinter die Kulissen blicken. Es fehle am Willen der Beteiligten, so die Autoren: Immer mehr Mitarbeiter kündigen innerlich, und viele Führungskräfte wissen nicht, was genau zu tun ist. Wie man trotzdem etwas verändern kann, ist die zweite Sichtachse in diesem Buch. Konkret: Sich wieder auf das Einfache und Wirksame konzentrieren. Erstrebenswerte Ergebnisse anvisieren und keine Luftschlösser bauen, die mit Buzzword-Budenzauber unterfüttert werden.
