Twenty months spent as the shogun's sosakan-sama - most honorable
investigator of events, situations, and people - has left Sano Ichiro
weary. He looks forward to the comforts that his arranged marriage
promises: a private life with a sweet, submissive wife and a month's
holiday to celebrate their union. However, the death of the shogun's
favorite concubine interrupts the couple's wedding ceremony and shatters
any hopes the samurai detective had about enjoying a little peace with
his new wife. After Sano traces the cause of Lady Harume's death to a
self-inflicted tattoo, he must travel into the cloistered, forbidden
world of the shogun's women to untangle the complicated web of Harume's
lovers, rivals, and troubled past, and identify her killer. To make
matters worse, Reiko, his beautiful young bride, reveals herself to be
not a traditional, obedient wife, but instead, a headstrong,
intelligent, aspiring detective bent on helping Sano with his new case.
Sano is horrified at her unladylike behavior, and the resulting sparks
make their budding love as exciting as the mystery surrounding Lady
Harume's death. Amid the heightened tensions and political machinations
of feudal Japan, Sano faces a daunting, complex investigation. Views: 182

It was very shallow, scarcely three-quarters of an inch in depth, but it was quite long enough, and quite wide enough for its purpose! Inside, there lay a little pile of banknotes, banknotes of very large denomination—the one on top was a thousand-dollar bill. She reached in and took out the money—and then from Rhoda Gray\'s lips there came a little cry, the flashlight dropped from her hand and smashed to the floor, and she was clinging desperately to the edge of the escritoire for support. The shop was flooded with light. Over by the side wall, one hand still on the electric-light switch, the other holding a leveled revolver, stood a man." The White Moll is Packard\'s only novel with a female protagonist. It was adapted into a silent film in 1920. Views: 182

An extraordinary cutting-edge suspense novel from the master of international intrigue and #1 New York Times–bestselling author.In Virginia, there is an agency bearing the bland name of Technical Operations Support Activity, or TOSA. Its one mission is to track, find, and kill those so dangerous to the United States that they are on a short document known as the Kill List. TOSA actually exists. So does the Kill List.Added to it is a new name: a terrorist of frightening effectiveness called the Preacher, who radicalizes young Muslims abroad to carry out assassinations. Unfortunately for him, one of the kills is a retired Marine general, whose son is TOSA’s top hunter of men.He has spent the last six years at his job. He knows nothing about his target’s name, face, or location. He realizes his search will take him to places where few could survive. But the Preacher has made it personal now. The hunt is on.From Publishers WeeklyThis subpar war-on-terror thriller from Diamond Dagger Award–winner Forsyth, with its unknowable outcome, offers less suspense than his Edgar-winning debut, The Day of the Jackal, where the ending is never in doubt. A Muslim extremist, known only as the Preacher, is spreading the message of violent jihad via English-language videos, and his acolytes have begun targeting public officials in the U.S. and the U.K. The job of stopping him falls to Kit Carson, an ex-Marine now part of a super-secret agency in Virginia called Technical Operations Support Activity. Carson, who's known as the Tracker, assembles an assortment of allies straight out of a Mission Impossible script, including a reclusive teenager who's a master hacker employed to trace the Preacher. Some readers will wonder why Forsyth bothered to give Carson a personal incentive to complete the mission. Others will find a lack of memorable characters an obstacle to genuine engagement. Agent: Ed Victor, Ed Victor Literary Agency. (Aug.) ReviewPraise for *The Kill List“Forsyth has always been a no-nonsense writer, eschewing flashy prose in favor of documentary realism, incorporating real-world elements into his stories. No one writes them quite like Forsyth, and this more than meets his usual high standards.”—Booklist*“[Forsyth] powers his plot with a clean efficiency, providing an absorbing account of the clockwork moves and split-second decisions required to close in on and dispatch the enemy. Strong descriptions of the settings add to the book's appeal.”—KirkusPraise for Frederick Forsyth“There are writers in the intelligence genre who make a point of knowing something about their subject matter before sitting down to write. The king of the pack is Frederick Forsyth.” —The Washington Times“Forsyth’s ability to create a believable character achieving unbelievable things is enthralling.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch“Forsyth [has a] flair for realistic thriller scenarios.”—Entertainment Weekly Views: 181
