Bestselling author Sebastian Fitzek sends you on an ingeniously disturbing journey with his brand new psychological thriller.

A missing child. A desperate father. A terrible secret.

Guido T has already confessed to two horrific child murders and led Berlin police to the bodies. The police are sure he is also the murderer of six-year-old Max, who disappeared without a trace a year ago.

But now the killer is staying silent. The investigators have no reliable evidence, so Max's parents have no certainty and are unable to say goodbye to their son.

Everything changes when one investigator makes an unbelievable offer: he can place Max's father, as a fake patient, inside the maximum security psychiatric hospital where Guido T is imprisoned.

Max's father agrees. He plans to force the child killer into a confession. Because nothing is worse than uncertainty.

Or so he thinks...

Around the world, Treadstone agents are being hunted down and murdered... and Jason Bourne may be next on the list. Someone high up in the U.S. government is erasing all evidence of a shocking mission from Bourne's past, known as Defiance – and that evidence includes Bourne himself.

Staying one step ahead of a team of killers, Bourne follows a global trail that leads him to one of the government's darkest secrets. But exposing the truth about the Defiance mission will also bring Bourne face to face with his arch-enemy, the assassin known as Lennon, for a final deadly confrontation.

'The action is relentless but expertly rendered, and Bourne remains a fascinating creation more than 40 years into his life on the page. Series fans will leave this entry exhausted, satisfied, and hungry for more.' Publishers Weekly on The 

A thrilling read set in the American West from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, award-winning author of the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series, now adapted into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky.

Joe Pickett's in his last week as the temporary game warden in the town of Baggs, Wyoming, but there have been strange things going on in the mountains, and his conscience won't let him leave without checking them out: reports of camps looted, tents slashed, AND elk butchered.

And then there's the runner who simply vanished one day. Joe doesn't mind admitting that the farther he rides, the more he wishes he could just turn around and go home.

When he'd first saddled up, Joe had thought of this as his last patrol. What he hadn't known was just how accurate that thought might turn out to be. Because what awaits him is like nothing he's ever dealt with: like something out of an old story, except this is all too real and too deadly.

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett faces two different kinds of rampaging killers – one animal, one human – in this riveting NEW YORK TIMES #2 BESTSELLING NOVEL from award-winning author C.J. Box.

A rogue grizzly bear has gone on a rampage, killing, among others, the prospective fiancé of Joe Pickett's daughter.

At the same time, Dallas Cates, who Joe helped lock up, is released from prison with a list of six names tattooed on his skin. He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property.

Targeted are his lawyer, a judge, the county prosecutor, a prison guard, Joe's associate Nate Romanowski – and Joe Pickett himself.

Using the grizzly attacks as cover, Cates devises a method of violence identical to the bear killings and sets out to methodically check off his list. Can Joe stop him before he himself becomes the next target on the killer's list?

Could Joe Pickett's foster daughter, seemingly killed six years ago, still be alive? A gripping read from award-winning author and New York Times bestseller C.J. Box.

When the texts turn ominous, Marybeth discovers that they are being sent from locations where vicious murders have taken place. Desperate to discover if April really is still alive and if so, to protect her, Joe and Sheridan take to the road with Joe's associate Nate Romanowski.

Their paths will cross with a dying Chicago mobster on a mission of his own, as Joe and his family seek to discover the truth, and if the danger is as real as it seems.

But now, when Bourne meets a woman who recognises him as David Webb, the secrets of those days begin to come out - and Bourne is forced to confront the dangerous ghosts of a past he doesn't even remember.
