Прочие Детективы - Страница 135

Расследовать загадочные происшествия и найти жестоких и циничных убийц всегда непросто. А если эти убийства совершены три года назад, тогда задача усложняется вдвойне…

Абсолютно невинным выглядит обращение к адвокату Мэтью Хоупу молодой женщины Джилл Лоутон с просьбой посодействовать ей в разводе со сгинувшим где-то на заснеженном Севере супругом. Но что-то на этот раз с Севера задул по-настоящему студеный ветер: дело обрастает трупами, как снежный ком. Хоупу не остается ничего другого, как обратиться за помощью к небезызвестному детективу Стиву Карелле.

Роман известного русского писателя И.Г. Лазутина «Матросская тишина» продолжает тему борьбы с преступностью, начатую автором еще в 50-е годы в широко известной повести «Сержант милиции». Укрепление законности и правопорядка, становление характера подрастающего поколения, воспитание храбрости, мужества, честности — эти проблемы современности ставятся в романе остро и бескомпромиссно. Интригующий, динамичный сюжет делает роман необычайно интересным для любителей детективного жанра.

Прямо за столиком столичного кафе средь бела дня умирает Валерия Федоровна Кудимова. Следствие быстро выясняет, что непосредственно перед смертью в том же кафе она встречалась с двумя молодыми особами – американкой Лаурой Кортиной, установленной сотрудницей ЦРУ, и русской Викой Спесивцевой, работавшей только на саму себя. Кто из этих двоих погубил ее? А может, был кто-то третий? Или, возможно, причина и разгадка смерти Кудимовой кроется в прошлом – в тех баснословно далеких временах, когда по улицам разъезжали синие троллейбусы и «Волги» с оленем, поэтические чтения собирали стадионы, самой почитаемой профессией был космонавт, а две сверхдержавы, США и СССР, сплелись в смертельной схватке, угрожающей гибелью всему человечеству…

Сборник состоит из трех современных остросюжетных детективов.

Книга предназначена самому широкому читателю.

A crippling knee injury forced Elliot Mills to trade in his FBI badge for dusty chalkboards and bored college students. Now a history professor at Puget Sound university, the former agent has put his old life behind him—but it seems his old life isn't finished with him. A young man has gone missing from campus—and as a favor to a family friend, Elliot agrees to do a little sniffing around. His investigations bring him face-­to-­face with his former lover, Tucker Lance, the special agent handling the case. Things ended badly with Tucker, and neither man is ready to back down on the fight that drove them apart. But they have to figure out a way to move beyond their past and work together as more men go missing and Elliot becomes the target in a killer's obsessive game...

Attacks on Janet Osborne lend new significance to the earlier murder of her brother Eric. They were holding out to keep the family newspaper a beacon of liberal advocacy journalism. A screwy plot to save the newspaper turns tragic and even screwier before Strachey and a driven reporter step in to sort it all out.

Letty Dobesh is coming off a bender and hasn't had a job in months when she gets a very enticing offer. John Fitch, the ultrawealthy CEO of a major energy company, has recently been convicted of securities fraud. In four days he must report to a federal prison, where he will almost certainly spend the rest of his life. Fitch wants a female companion for his last night of freedom. But Letty is no high-­priced call girl, and this gig isn't about sex. The plan is to steal an original Van Gogh from Fitch's island retreat. A petty thief by trade, Letty has never had a shot at this kind of payout. It's certainly dangerous, but the money will set her up for life and allow her to regain custody of her young son. Besides, it's stealing from a very bad guy. If all goes well, she'll be on Easy Street...­but in Letty's life, all seldom goes well.
