Abel, Kenneth Bait
New York, New York, U.S.A. Delacorte Press 1994 0385311907 / 9780385311908 Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $19.95. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing or tears inside book. 345 pages. - Once Walsh was a good cop. Then he became a drunk--and plowed his car into the son of a Boston Mafia don, Jimmy D'Angelo. Marked to die, Walsh agrees to wear a wire and help the feds take D'Angelo down. But to get close to the mobster, Walsh will first have to cross a sea of corruption, lies and murder. From the Publisher A mesmerizing edge-of-the-seat thriller that combines the gritty realism of a cop's world with some of the most hair-raising scenes in modern fiction, Bait heralds the stunning debut of Kenneth Abel, a brilliant new voice in suspense fiction. Abel's nerve-shattering novel introduces a hero who gives us all reason to cheer ... a man who refuses to run, a cop who crosses the line to protect what matters most - his family and his pride. The life and career of narcotics detective Jack Walsh goes to hell the night his partner gets shot. First he drinks to blank out the memory; then getting drunk leads to the accident where Boston's boss of bosses, Johnny D'Angelo, loses his only son. It's Walsh's car that plows into the boy's birthday Mazda, and Walsh's badge that makes the whole "tragedy" seem suspicious. Maybe the collision is pure chance, but one thing is sure: Johnny D'Angelo needs to salve his family's grief by making Jack Walsh pay. Stripped of his badge, Walsh spends his time reviewing this strange series of events, putting together enough firepower to hold off an army, and watching the men who are watching him. That is until pretty U.S. Attorney Kate Haggerty comes knocking at his door, telling him the deal: They want him to wear a wire and be the bait that catches D'Angelo. But neither Walsh nor the feds count on the inept gangsters and loose cannons who are coming after Walsh. And nobody counts on Walsh's keeping the code of silence and loyalty to his own kind. Walsh is after personal justice. He'll be the bait to catch the fish he wants hooked in the violent underworld of narcs and crime kingpins ... where a cop who knows too much may be the only one smart enough to survive.

Follow her to the Yucatan, where the medicine wheel leads her, and she is faced with the terrifying reality of the butterfly tree (Jaguar Woman).

Bayer, John The Janus Deception: A Novel
Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A. B & H Pub Group 2001 0805424393 / 9780805424393 Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 310 pages. Product Description Lieutenant Commander Jake Madsen, MD, USNR, feels he has very little left to live for since his wife, Kathy’s death. During Madsen’s two weeks’ active duty at Naval Support Activity, he examines Sgt. Jerry Wallace, one of three survivors of a chemical attack in the Saudi Arabian desert. Madsen discovers a strange implant in Wallace’s chest. The discovery of the implant propels Madsen into a world controlled by a computer program, where human emotions and actions are no longer taken into account, where humans have abdicated responsibility—and accountability and where research on chemical weapons is conducted on the most available and expendable subjects: soldiers of the United States. Jerry Wallace is a human guinea pig. When Wallace is murdered, Madsen and Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent, Kaci Callahan, combine forces to battle the horror of chemical warfare testing on U.S. military troops in an impersonal world controlled by computers. In the process, each comes to a better understanding of themselves. About the Author John F. Bayer, a veteran of the U.S. Navy and the Arkansas National Guard, has served as a missionary in the Republic of Panama and Mexico. He is the author of Necessary Risk, The Lazarus Project, and The Omega Deception, and a contributor to various fiction and nonfiction publications. He and and his wife live in El Paso, Texas.

Fine condition. Stated First Edition. Small remainder dot on top. NO price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $23.00. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 264 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. Synopsis: Mike Devlin's life has leveled out onto a predictable plateau: he and his wife and daughter live in a large, suburban home where his days are comfortable and routine; his psychiatric practice is well-established. But when he opens a Tae Kwon Do school in a black, inner-city Baltimore neighborhood, Devlin becomes the ultimate stranger: not merely by virtue of his race, but by the facts of his life, which leave him feeling ghostly and ungrounded for all the privilege and solidity they represent. An inner voice - "I cannot do nothing" - has compelled Devlin into a world whose desperation and harshness he can only guess at. But the brutality of the streets and a series of violent deaths and deadly misunderstandings shock him into seeing how limited his influence has been. In a complex, fast-paced narrative, several richly nuanced voices weave a powerful, deeply effecting story of possibility - hopeful and dangerous - between people whose connection is often defined only by its impossibility.

An all-out border war is no longer inconceivable. It's happening! On assignment for the British Secret Service, a man leads a mysterious expedition into the heart of darkness. Sailing up the furthest reaches of the Amazon River, he is captured by a brutal tribe of indigenous cannibals. Forced into slave labor, he witnesses the unimaginable. Golden domes and minarets rise beneath the rainforest canopy. Vast terror armies are being recruited and trained in the jungle. Their goal: a vicious jihad that will unite one continent...and destroy another. They possess weapons only dreamed of by the Western allies. Somehow he must escape his captors and live to tell his tale. With tensions on its southern border threatening to ignite into war, America must look to the one man who might be able to confront the demons in the jungle...and destroy them. Alex Hawke, with the aid of brilliant Scotland Yard Inspector Ambrose Congreve, and an unstoppable force of nature named Stokely Jones, begins a river journey fraught with peril. He must confront all the terrors that man and nature can hurl at him. From black magic, poison-tipped arrows, and blowguns toan awesome arsenal of the most advanced military hardware, Hawke must overcome insurmountable odds on his quest for victory. Here is an author who gets you in the palm of his hand and then clenches his fist. And here is a saga loaded to the gunwales with action, glamour, and spellbinding suspense. Alex Hawke once again takes listeners right to that thin border between fear and overwhelming terror. It's merely a line drawn in the sand. Cross it at your peril. Cross it if you dare.

Biography Ted Bell is the former chairman of the board and worldwide creative director of Young & Rubicam, one of the largest advertising agencies in the world. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Hawke, Assassin, Pirate, Spy and Nick of Time and makes his home in Palm Beach, Florida.

Bornemark, Kjell-Olof; Thompson, Laurie (translation) The Dividing Line: A Spy Thriller
New York, New York, U.S.A. Dembner Books 1988 0942637054 / 9780942637052 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Very-nice, clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $16.95. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 231 pages. Publishers Weekly This little gem of espionage fiction falls squarely into the mode of the best Eric Ambler thrillers, in which lonely and only marginally competent protagonists struggle against ruthless intelligence bureaucracies and killers. If the hero prevails, it's by the thinnest of margins and with a lot of luck. Just before the Nazis marched into Prague in 1939, Verner Neuman narrowly escaped to Sweden. But the price of the ticket was his signature on a false confession that he was a Soviet spy. At the end of the 1940s, the Eastern Bloc intelligence services blackmailed Neumanby then a trusted functionary of the Swedish Social Democrat partyinto real espionage against his adopted country. Now 40 years later, the worm has turned. Neuman has obtained evidence that the Party General Secretary in East Germany had a sexual relationship with one of Hit ler's more notorious lackeys. The blackmailed turns blackmailer in a desperate effort to escape the spymasters and regain his self respect. Swedish author Bornemark's sharp characterization and crisp plotting make this book a pleasure from start to finish.
