Dravec a obeť: Jack Forman, expert na počítačové programy, sa po strate zamestnania stará o tri deti.

1. Jack Reacher, bývalý vojenský vyšetrovateľ, žije nezávislý život bez pút a výhod, ktoré ovládajú bežných občanov.

Keď konečne nájde pokoj na ostrove Bali, dostane nečakanú správu od sestry Jeanette. 3.

Willov brat Ken pred jedenástimi rokmi údajne zaškrtil mladé dievča a ušiel pred zákonom. Potom však Willova matka na smrteľnej posteli vyhlási, že Ken žije, čo potvrdzuje aj relatívne nová fotografia. Hneď nato zmizne bez stopy Willova nová láska a začne po nej pátrať FBI, pretože jej odtlačky sa našli na mieste vraždy na opačnom konci USA. Willovo úsilie vyriešiť záhadné zmiznutia Kena a priateľky Sheily otvorí strašidelnú Pandorinu skrinku

Pred ôsmimi rokmi mu za dramatických okolností uniesli manželku, ktorej telo identifikoval jej otec v márnici. Po rokoch sa na pozemku jeho svokra nájdu dve mŕtvoly mužov a začína sa kolotoč, keď Becka prenasleduje nielen polícia, ktorá ho podozrieva z vraždy manželky, ale aj najatí vrahovia.

Známy plastický chirurg Marc Seidman patrí k ľuďom, ktorí začnú vnímať reálny svet okolo seba, až keď im osud uštedrí neľútostný úder. Nečakaná tragédia, ktorá mu rozvráti osobné a rodinné zázemie, mu otvorí oči a znovu preceňuje životné hodnoty. Vedený pevným odhodlaním nájsť po smrti psychicky labilnej manželky aspoň nezvestnú dcéru, je rozhodnutý za každú cenu dosiahnuť svoj cieľ. Hoci stopa dávno vychladla a podozrenie padá i naňho, za pomoci priateľov a bývalej agentky FBI sa rozhodne konať na vlastnú päsť a rozohráva nebezpečnú hru...

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.

„Vyhýbaj sa ľuďom, čo patria minulosti. Nedovoľ im vracať sa do tvojho života.“ Na začiatku je to len bežná profilová stránka ako veľa iných na webovom zoznamovacom serveri. Ale keď sa Kat Donovanová, vyšetrovateľka newyorského policajného zboru, lepšie zahľadí na sprievodnú fotografiu, akoby jej doterajší svet odrazu vybuchol a znova na ňu ťaživo doľahnú city, ktoré dlhé roky potláčala. Z fotografie na ňu hľadí jej niekdajší snúbenec Jeff, muž, ktorý jej zlomil srdce a ktorého nevidela už osemnásť rokov. V Kat sa rozhorí iskierka nádeje, či práve toto nie je okamih, keď sa pominú dávne tragédie a otvorí sa pred ňou nová budúcnosť. No len čo sa pokúsi nadviazať kontakt s mužom z profilu, oživená nádej sa rýchlo zmení na temné podozrenie a potom hrôzu. Postupne vychádzajú na povrch obludné zločinecké plány a ich korisťou sa stávajú tí najzraniteľnejší. Počet obetí narastá a Katina vyhliadka na opätovné zblíženie s Jeffom sa čoraz väčšmi vzďaľuje. Úplne ju pohlcuje vyšetrovanie vyvolávajúce otázky týkajúce sa všetkých milovaných ľudí – bývalého snúbenca, matky, ba aj otca, ktorého surová vražda sa za dlhé roky nikdy celkom neobjasnila. Kat riskuje životy vrátane vlastného, ponára sa do ešte väčšej temnoty a hľadá v sebe silu, aby sa so svojimi zisteniami vyrovnala.

Naozaj poznáte vlastné deti? Tia a Mike Bayovci nechceli svoje deti špehovať. No ich šestnásťročný syn Adam sa znepokojujúco zmenil – a keďže jeho najlepší kamarát Spencer Hill nedávno spáchal samovraždu, nemôžu potlačiť strach. Tak dajú synovi na počítač nainštalovať monitorovací program, aby vedeli, aké stránky navštevuje, s akými ľuďmi sa kontaktuje a o čom si s nimi píše. Nedozvedia sa všetko – ale čo odhalia, vyzerá ako potvrdenie ich najhorších obáv. Betsy Hillová náhodou zistí, že posledná noc jej syna Spencera nebola taká, ako si myslela. Odrazu sa vynárajú otázky. Kto môže za smrť Spencera Hilla? A prečo z rodičovského domu náhle zmizol Adam Baye? Odpovede vedú len k ďalším záhadám. Zúfalí rodičia sa vrhajú do pátrania na vlastnú päsť, zatiaľ čo v ich okolí vyčíňa sadistický vrah.

Muž v povedomých modrých džínsoch a košeli farby lesnej zelene – vždy ju opisoval takto, nie ako tmavozelenú či jasnú zelenú, ale ako lesnú zeleň – jej zjavne nijako neublížil, neuniesol ju ani nič také, takže úzkosť, ktorú pri pohľade naňho pociťovala, jej pripadala čudesne nafúknutá a zbytočná. Chlap na zázname sa posunul trocha nabok. Maya už zase videla Lily. Myslela si, že teraz sa jej strach utíši, no nestalo sa. Muž sa obrátil a sadol si na gauč k malej. Pozrel sa do kamery a na tvári sa mu objavil úsmev. Mayi sa akosi podarilo nezvriesknuť. Zaťať, uvoľniť, zaťať, uvoľniť... Maya, ktorá si vedela v boji vždy udržať chladnú hlavu, vždy dokázala nájsť vnútornú silu, vďaka ktorej sa jej zbytočne nezrýchlil tep a neparalyzoval ju príval adrenalínu, sa o to pokúšala aj teraz. Tie známe šaty, modré džínsy a najmä košeľa vo farbe lesnej zelene ju mali pripraviť na možnosť – aj keď pod tým slovom skôr myslela nemožnosť – toho, čo teraz videla. Preto teraz nezvrieskla. Nelapala dych. Miesto toho sa v hrudi rozlial pocit, že sa akosi nedokáže nadýchnuť. V žilách jej tuhla krv. Pery sa jej chveli. Na obrazovke počítača Lily spokojne vyliezla do lona jej mŕtveho manžela.

Pred šiestimi rokmi sa zúfalý Jake Fisher prizeral, ako si Natalie, jeho životná láska, berie iného muža. Šesť rokov skrýval svoje zlomené srdce a venoval sa kariére univerzitného profesora. Šesť rokov dodržiaval sľub, že manželov nechá na pokoji, a šesť rokov ho ťažili mučivé sny o Natalinom živote s Toddom. Ale ani dlhých šesť rokov nedokázalo zmeniť jeho city. Keď Jake jedného dňa natrafí na Toddov nekrológ, vyberie sa na jeho pohreb – pravdaže, aby videl Natalie. Podarí sa mu zazrieť smútiacu vdovu, ale nie je to Natalie! Neznáma žena bola za Todda vydatá takmer dvadsať rokov. Toto odhalenie úplne zmení všetko, čo si Jake uchovával v pamäti ako vzácnu spomienku na krátke, ale nádherné obdobie vo svojom živote. Jake neúnavne hľadá pravdu. Natalie už celé roky nikto nevidel, sestra zaryto mlčí, kňaz si nepamätá sobášny obrad, priatelia mu neveria a ctihodná univerzita sa nerada delí o svoje tajomstvá. Hľadanie ženy, ktorá mu zlomila srdce a klamala, ho čoskoro privedie do nebezpečných situácií. Zistí, že sa stal súčasťou starostlivo vykonštruovanej fikcie a v ohrození je nielen jeho život.

In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Harlan Coben, a dead man's secrets fall into the hands of a vigilante antihero--drawing him down a dangerous road. Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors -- and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead -- not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on another FBI cold case -- with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man. Windsor Horne Lockwood III -- or Win, as his few friends call him -- doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism -- and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice.

After confronting his wife, she disappears, only contacting him via text, asking him not to search for her. Adam and his sons are devastated. The Stranger reveals more secrets, and soon after the murder of Heidi Dunn, a friend of one of the victims, Detective Johanna Griffin begins an investigation. She uncovers a group led by the Stranger and reaches out to Adam. The lawyer and the detective join forces to find Adam's missing wife. As they uncover more about her life, Adam realizes that nearly everyone around him harbors secrets, and the only way to discover the truth is to find the Stranger, even if it shatters his orderly world.
