Cold-Blooded

<div>A secret spy ring is sent to unmask a terror network planning mass destruction in the New York Times–bestselling author’s compelling short thriller. Retired Colonel James J. Peterson is head of a covert—and illegal—intelligence-gathering operation known as IAS. When he’s briefed on a national security threat that could unleash a weapon capable of “significant damage”, there seem to be more questions than answers. What kind of weapon is it? Conventional? Nuclear? Or something altogether new? And who’s behind the threat? Al-Qaeda? The Koreans? The Iranians? It’s up to Colonel Peterson’s black site operation to find the answers and to neutralize the weapon before it’s unleashed on the United States. The problem? He only has four days to do it.</div>

Dead Man's Hand

<div>A pair of federal agents from either side of the US&ndash;Mexico border target a cartel kingpin. They call him &ldquo;Cuchillo,&rdquo; the Knife. Not because he kills with a blade&mdash;he has plenty of men to do that kind of work for him&mdash;but because his mind is so sharp. As Mexico&rsquo;s government wages war on the drug cartels, it takes brains to survive, and Cuchillo has not just survived&mdash;he has prospered. But when Cuchillo begins to cut too deeply, the federal police of both the United States and Mexico step in to dull his blade. P. Z. Evans and Alejo D&iacute;az know the Hermosillo cartel is planning an attack on a tourist bus in Sonora, and they know they will have to capture or kill Cuchillo to stop it. The cartel leader has one weakness: rare, old books. To destroy the intellectual&rsquo;s evil empire, this unlikely pair of international police will have to appeal to his inner bibliophile. The Bibliomysteries are a series of short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors. </div>

An Acceptable Sacrifice

<div>The New York Times–bestselling author reflects on the life and career of his character, NYPD forensic scientist Lincoln Rhyme, in this short story. The line between the disabled and the non-disabled is shrinking. Computers, video cameras, high-definition monitors, biometric devices and voice recognition software have moved my life closer to that of somebody who’s fully able bodied, while the same technology is creating a more sedentary, house-bound life for those who have no disability whatsoever. From what I’ve read, I lead a more active life than a lot of people nowadays. Winner of multiple awards including the Edgar Grand Master, Jeffery Deaver presents a tale and a brief biography of the quadriplegic crime-scene expert who provides his services to the New York Police Department—as well as federal and international law enforcement—from his well-equipped home lab on Central Park West . . . “The master of ticking-bomb suspense.” —People “Rhyme is a great character.” —San Francisco Chronicle “The Lincoln Rhyme series is simply outstanding.” —San Jose Mercury News   “[Rhyme] is among the most brilliant and vulnerable of crime fiction’s heroes.” —New York Post</div>
