      Nathan McBride, ehemaliger Scharfschütze beim US Marine Corps, hat als Einziger die brutalen Folterungen durch Montez de Oca, den sadistischen Verhörspezialisten aus Nicaragua, überlebt. Der tauchte schon vor vierzehn Jahren unter, nachdem er zahllose Opfer zu Tode gefoltert hatte. Obwohl McBride immer noch körperlich und seelisch von den Narben, die ihm sein Peiniger zugefügt hat, gezeichnet ist, glaubt er, das Schlimmste hinter sich zu haben. Als aber das FBI eine verstümmelte Leiche aus einem abgelegenen See im Bundesstaat Utah birgt, erkennt McBride sofort die grausige Wahrheit: Montez de Oca ist wieder da – diesmal auf amerikanischem Boden. McBride will auf keinen Fall zulassen, dass Montez de Oca erneut entkommt. Ein Kampf um Gerechtigkeit beginnt, der McBride an die Grenzen seiner Leistungsfähigkeit bringt. In einem tödlichen Katz-und-Maus-Spiel, das bis in die höchsten Ebenen der US-Regierung hineinreicht, liefern sich McBrides Rachedurst und seine Fähigkeit zur Barmherzigkeit einen unerbittlichen Wettstreit.

      Vor zehn Jahren beendete ein fehlgeschlagener Einsatz Nathan McBrides Tätigkeit als Spezialist für Geheimoperationen bei der CIA. Jetzt nutzt er seine einzigartigen Fähigkeiten im Privatsektor — bis der frühere FBI-Direktor Frank Ortega an ihn herantritt, um einen Gefallen einzufordern. Ein verdeckter Ermittler des FBI ist spurlos verschwunden, und mit ihm eine Tonne des Plastiksprengstoffs Semtex. Ortega will beide so schnell wie möglich finden, denn für ihn steht einiges auf dem Spiel — der verschwundene Agent ist nämlich sein Enkel. Und Nathan McBride ist der einzige Mann, dem er diese Aufgabe zutraut. Aber schon bald nehmen die Ereignisse eine Wendung, die selbst Ortega nicht für möglich gehalten hätte. Nur ein paar Tage, nachdem er den Auftrag angenommen hat, gerät McBride zwischen zwei Fronten — einen skrupellosen Gegner, der auf Rache sinnt, und eine Gruppe hochrangiger Amtsträger, die sich durch nichts davon abbringen lassen, ihre eigene Vorstellung von Gerechtigkeit durchzusetzen. In diesem Spiel gibt es keine klaren Regeln und keine Unterstützung — McBride ist ganz auf sich allein gestellt.

    • The desire to discover meaning in our lives is a powerful motivator for many people. Some turn to psychotherapy and counseling for help, some turn to spiritual teachings, and many turn to both. The Next Ten Minutes is the guide to help us discover the seeds of transformation and meaning in even the most ordinary routines. The Next Ten Minutes consists of a collection of exercises originally created for use in Dr. Peterson’s successful counseling practice. Rather than taking readers out of the everyday, Dr. Peterson invites them to move more deeply into the familiar tasks of ordinary life, such as turning simple breathing, eating, physical love, or throwing out the trash into meditative exercises that can transform your day. Based on both Buddhist philosophy and proven psychology techniques, these succinct and accessible meditations also offer simple and effective methods for therapeutic counseling and personal growth. The power to seize the day is but a few simple steps away.
