Crime Across Continents IMT737A

From the courtrooms of Los Angeles to the sun-scorched Costa del Sol and rain-dark streets of New Jersey, we travel through four very different worlds of crime. What unites them is the quality of the writing and the relentless pace of investigation. A sports agent goes looking for a missing father. A defence lawyer starts to doubt his own client. A Scottish investigator walks into a Spanish vendetta, while a pathologist reads what the dead will not say. Perfect reading for armchair detectives!

Harlan Coben, One False Move - Sports agent Myron Bolitar is hired to protect a rising basketball star facing death threats. When her father vanishes, the search leads him into a powerful political family’s secrets and the sights of a mob-linked agency.

Michael Connelly, The Fifth Witness - Defence lawyer Mickey Haller takes on Lisa Trammel, a homeowner facing foreclosure who is arrested for hammering a bank executive to death. With public anger rising and doubts about her innocence, he must win in court.

Peter May, A Silent Death - After a Costa del Sol chase kills his girlfriend, fugitive Jack Cleland vows to destroy the officer involved. Glaswegian investigator John Mackenzie joins the hunt, and the officer’s deaf-blind aunt lies at the vendetta’s heart.

Patricia Cornwell, Postmortem - Richmond has a strangler on the loose, and chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta is called to the latest scene. The killer scrubs away every clue, yet each victim had recently called 911, and Scarpetta follows that thread.
