      Jack Ryan, Jr.'s race to stop an international criminal conspiracy is intertwined with the fate of an old friend in this blistering entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. The CIA's deepest secrets are being given away for a larger agenda that will undermine the entire Western intelligence community. Director of National Intelligence Mary Pat Foley wants it stopped but doesn't know who, how or why. Jack Ryan, Jr., is dispatched to Poland on a different mission. The clues are thin, and the sketchy trail dead ends in a harrowing fight from which he barely escapes with his life. If that's not bad enough, Jack gets more tragic news. An old friend, who's dying from cancer, has one final request for Jack. It seems simple enough, but before it's done, Jack will find himself alone, his life hanging by a thread. If he survives, he'll be one step closer to finding the shadowy figure behind the CIA leak and its true purpose, but in the process, he'll challenge the world's most dangerous criminal syndicate with devastating consequences.

Determined to start fresh behind the camera, she agrees to film a documentary about the picturesque small town of Moose Springs, Alaska. The assignment should have been easy, but the quirky locals want nothing to do with River. Well, too bad: River's going to make this film and prove herself, no matter what it takes.Or what (literal) mountain she has to climb.Easton Lockett may be a gentle giant, but he knows a thing or two about survival.

The wildlife's wilder than usual, the camera crew's determined to wander off a cliff, and the gorgeous actress is fearless. Falling for River only makes Easton's job tougher, but there's only so long he can hold out against her brilliant smile.

      Une semaine avant sa mort, Nel a appelé sa soeur, Julia. Qui n'a pas voulu lui répondre. Alors que le corps de Nel vient d'être retrouvé dans la rivière qui traverse Beckford, leur ville natale, Julia est effrayée à l'idée de revenir sur les lieux de son enfance. De quoi a-t-elle le plus peur ? D'affronter le prétendu suicide de sa soeur ? De s'occuper de Lena, sa nièce de quinze ans, qu'elle ne connaît pas ? Ou de faire face à un passé qu'elle a toujours fui ? Plus que tout encore, c'est peut-être la rivière qui la terrifie, ces eaux à la fois enchanteresses et mortelles, où, depuis toujours, les tragédies se succèdent. Julia, Lena, Nel : avec ce superbe portrait de trois femmes en quête d'elles mêmes, aux prises avec les pesanteurs du passé, on retrouve l'infinie compréhension pour ses personnages dont témoignait déjà Paula Hawkins dans La Fille du train. On y retrouve, surtout, sa virtuosité et un talent incroyable pour tenir le lecteur en haleine jusqu'à l'ultime rebondissement, qui marquera tous les esprits.
