"Джек Ричер, или В розыске" — роман английского писателя Ли Чайлда, вышедший в 2012 году. Семнадцатая книга из серии о бывшем военном полицейском Джеке Ричере, сиквел романов "Джек Ричер, или 61 час" и "Джек Ричер, или Это стоит смерти" • Разобравшись с очередным смертельно опасным делом, Джек Ричер твердо решил добраться до Вирджинии и наконец познакомиться с женщиной, которую так часто слышал по телефону, но никогда не видел. Как обычно, передвигаться по стране он предпочел на попутном транспорте. Ждать пришлось долго - никто не хотел пускать в свой автомобиль огромного громилу подозрительного вида. Наконец какие-то люди - двое мужчин и женщина - согласились подвезти его, причем чуть ли не до места назначения. Но через некоторое время Ричер начал понимать: эти люди вовсе не "какие-то"

The Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate. The victim was found surrounded by the paraphernalia of black magic, and so Arthur Bryant and John May set off to question experts in the field • But the case is not what it appears. When another victim seemingly commits suicide, it becomes clear that in the London night is a killer who knows what people fear most. And he always strikes at 4:00am • In order to catch him, the PCU must switch to night shifts, but still the team draws a blank

Тяжелая работа детектива, полицейского, спецагента – чисто мужская, так считалось издавна. Женщины уже давно с этим не согласны. В век равноправия полов и развития высоких технологий на первый план стали выходить интеллект, технические навыки и профессионализм, заменяя собой грубую силу и умение быстро стрелять. Кто же все-таки лучше в этом деле? Чтобы получить ответ, автор мировых бестселлеров Ли Чайлд собрал в одну команду своих самых известных собратьев по перу и разбил их на пары – мужчина против женщины. Своих героев свели в профессиональной дуэли Кэти Райх и Ли Чайлд, Вэл Макдермид и Питер Джеймс, Сандра Браун и Си Джей Бокс, Диана Гэблдон и Стив Берри, Лиза Скоттолайн и Нельсон Демилль…

So when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter Avery unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper • Hours later, Avery's family declares her missing • Suddenly Stanhope doesn't feel so safe. And William isn't the only one on his street who's hiding a lie. As witnesses come forward with information that may or may not be true, Avery's neighbours become increasingly unhinged • Who took Avery Wooler? • Nothing will prepare you for the truth

A controversial artist is found dead in her own art installation inside a riverside gallery with locked doors and windows - the only witness is a small boy who insists the murderer was a masked man on a horse. A television presenter is struck by lightning while indoors... Two seemingly impossible crimes that only Arthur Bryant and John May of the Met's Peculiar Crimes Unit might be able to solve. But Bryant has lost his nerve following a disastrous public appearance, and May is fighting to keep the unit from closure. Worse still, the case of the Leicester Square Vampire, an unsolved mystery from the past that changed both their lives, has returned to haunt them • With a sinister modern-day highwayman bringing terror to the London streets in a series of crimes each more puzzling than the last, the elderly detectives track their suspect to an exclusive private school and a deprived housing estate

Someone - or something - is haunting the Titanic • Deaths and disappearances have plagued the vast liner from the moment she began her maiden voyage on 10 April 1912. Four days later, caught in what feels like an eerie, unsettling twilight zone, some passengers - including millionaire Madeleine Astor and maid Annie Hebbley - are convinced that something sinister is afoot. And then disaster strikes • Four years later and the world is at war. Having survived that fateful night, Annie is now a nurse on board the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, refitted as a hospital ship. And she is about to realise that those demons from her past and the terrors of that doomed voyage have not finished with her yet • Bringing together Faustian pacts, the occult, tales of sirens and selkies, guilt and revenge, desire and destiny, The Deep offers a thrilling, tantalizing twist on one of the world's most famous tragedies

One night, Arthur Bryant witnesses a drunk middle-aged lady coming out of a pub in a London backstreet. The next morning, she is found dead at the exact spot where their paths crossed. Even more disturbing, the pub has vanished. Bryant is convinced that he saw them as they were over a century before, but the elderly detective has already lost the funeral urn of an old friend. Could he be losing his mind as well? • Then it becomes clear that a number of women have met their ends in London pubs. It seems a silent, secret killer is at work, striking in full view...and yet nobody has a clue how, or why - or where he'll attack next. The likeliest suspect seems to be a mental patient with a reason for killing. But knowing who the killer is and catching him are two very different propositions

The defenestration of a ruthless theatre impresario's young son was definitely not the best way to end the play's first night party. And the crime scene itself was most unusual: a locked bedroom, with no sign of forced entry, no prints or traces of blood, just a sinister, life-size puppet of Mr Punch lying on the floor • Everyone at the party - from the dodgy producer and rakish male lead to the dour set designer and the assistant stage manager (the wild daughter of a prominent civil servant) - is a suspect • It's a perfect case for Bryant and May and the Peculiar Crimes Unit but the Home Office, wary of the PCU's eccentric methods and intensely aware of the potential political embarrassment, wants them off the investigation • The elderly detectives are not so easily deterred, however
