He lives in a roomy old apartment on New York’s upper West Side. He’s an accountant who has lived in the city all of his life. His daughter is married and he is comfortably settled with his wife in their old apartment, in the middle of the city and all its problems — pollution, drugs, cost of living and, particularly, crime in the streets. Like most New Yorkers, Paul is concerned about the crime rate, but he has never been afraid.<br /> Not until one day when crime crosses his own threshold. Suddenly, Paul and his family are the people you read about in the newspapers, victims of a vicious, unprovoked attack. For a few days, even a week, what happened to Paul is of concern to everybody in New York: newspaper readers, the neighborhood, the police. But then another story takes its place and Paul has to pick up his life again, go to work, pay his taxes, and refrain from screaming in public places. But Paul can no longer do this; the world, the city has now become a private battleground on which he is fighting for his life. A battle calls for a gun. He gets one. And he starts to use it.<br /> DEATH WISH is the story of a society having a nervous breakdown. It is about something that causes a secret uneasiness far back in the conscious minds of many people. What would happen to a man who is unable to keep to the narrow line that stands between being victim or executioner?</p> http://flibusta.app/b/674198 http://flibusta.app/b/674198 Tue, 28 Jun 2022 07:25:32 GMT <p>In a little Mexican village, the American Ambassador is abducted. With him a Peace Corps volunteer, a nervous kid with a conscience, is picked up by mistake. The kidnappers are presumed to be Cuban exiles, anti-Castro terrorists. They have just committed the biggest mistake of their lives.<br /> In a fitting follow-up to his highly-acclaimed first novel. Fear in a Handful of Dust, John Ives has created a heroine to be long remembered. Carole Marchand is forty-three, attractive, sophisticated, a film director with a tart tongue. She is weary of letting her fantasies play themselves out on celluloid. When tragedy strikes her son. she is determined to act. While her unflappable ex-husband Howard and his colleague O’Hillary try to maneuver by phone from their air-conditioned Washington offices, Carole embarks on a harrowing voyage of vengeance.<br /> Companions on her adventure are a dreamy-eyed-CIA man who inconveniently falls in love and a crusty mercenary playing his last act for something more than mere money. Their opponents are a band of aging guerillas torn by dissension and guided by the imperious but faltering hand of one of the richest robber barons of the Caribbean. Carole Marchand and her mercenary follow a dim trail through the sleazy saloons and the offices of corrupt petty officials in Mexico and Puerto Rico and meet their destiny in a terrible climax in the tropical rainforests of El Yunque.<br /> John Ives has written a riveting suspense thriller that grapples directly with the moral issues of justice and revenge.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/654579 http://flibusta.app/b/654579 Mon, 21 Feb 2022 07:36:54 GMT <p>“THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED!”<br /> It all happened so fast: the terrorist bombings of Congress which killed nearly a hundred senators and congressmen; the incredible kidnapping of the President-Elect, Clifford Fairlie.　<br /> Tough, veteran agent David Lime was summoned to track down the kidnappers, who threatened to kill Fairlie if the captured terrorists were not set free. And behind the scenes, ruthless men battled for the glory of the highest office in the land.<br /> The rescue efforts swung into high gear. It became a vast, global manhunt. The entire world watched in frozen horror.<br /> But only two men had the power to shape the end of this chilling, savage drama — agent Lime and the terrorist leader for whom hate had become a holy mission.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/649095 http://flibusta.app/b/649095 Wed, 19 Jan 2022 05:40:48 GMT <p>A taut collection of razor-sharp stories of men at society's edge.<br /> Although best known as an author of westerns and espionage fiction, Brian Garfield is at heart an observer of human behavior. While traveling, he sometimes writes short fiction, usually setting the story in whatever city or country he just left.<br /> The eight stories in this slim volume are fine examples of Garfield's keen eye. Mostly tales of crime and criminals, they star men like Deke Allen, a long-haired building contractor arrested after a rat-shoot for driving with his father's shotgun on the seat. There are women like Vicky, a desperate con artist who engineers one of history's most outlandish scams. But running throughout these suspenseful stories is the sensibility of a writer fascinated by the characters behind the crimes.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/630473 http://flibusta.app/b/630473 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 05:30:47 GMT <p>Meet Simon Crane, the hottest hard-boiled antihero since Mike Hammer! Неге’s an ex-cop who’s up to his neck in blood, booty, and blackmail: Number One target in a gangland countdown to murder. The Hit resounds with a tough, ingenious triple-crossing twist — alter all, who would rob the Mafia?　<br /> Author Brian Garfield scores a criminal bull’s-eye in this uncompromising thriller that rips the veneer off the Establishment of a sleepy southwestern state, exposing a merry-go-round of murder, vice, and mob control. It all explodes when a Cosa Nostra kingpin is found dead m the living room of his palatial estate. A gaping wall safe discloses the killer’s motive: a missing three million dollars in cash — and a giant political scandal.<br /> The state’s entire political elite is incriminatingly indebted to the murdered mobster, but the bloody trail seems to lead to the door of Simon Crane. A handier suspect couldn’t be found, either by the mob or by the corrupt police. Besides, no one is fool enough to openly accuse a famous political figure of robbery and murder when a desperate ex-cop might solve the mystery to save his own skin. And Crane’s alleged motive is clearly personal: her name is Joanna, a frail, blond ex-Mafia playmate whose one and only fling with the deceased was recorded on film and preserved in the safe’s incendiary archives. Wasn’t that reason enough to kill — for revenge, a king’s ransom, and the intensely private files of a first-class manipulator?<br /> Facing trial by gunpoint either way he turns, Crane parlays his only chance into a deal with Mafia executioners: forty-eight hours to prove his innocence. Forty-eight hours to trap a wily thief and return to the mob with three million in home-grown graft and a payload of political dynamite.<br /> It’s the biggest, nastiest, most extraordinary gamble in years, starring hard-nosed, daring Simon Crane, who plays a criminal deck with a master hand — and challenges the powerbrokers to a no-holds-barred game of survival.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/628708 http://flibusta.app/b/628708 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 05:35:40 GMT <p>Crime is the American preoccupation. And in this novel the author of the controversial, best-selling Death Wish continues his dramatic inquest into crime and retribution. Vigilanteeism: Does it solve any problems, or does it only create new ones? And is it the answer to the problem of criminals who have been “recycled” because of jammed court dockets and the prevalent, quick-solution use of plea-bargaining? In DEATH SENTENCE the reader sees the grisly consequences of one man’s private campaign of vengeance. What happens when innocent people are influenced by widespread vigilante publicity into taking the law into their own hands? What happens in the mind of an avenger when he discovers that another vigilante is imitating his private crusade against the criminals of the streets? And what happens when vigilantes shake the very foundation of our legal system? DEATH SENTENCE, continuing the drama and saga of Death Wish’s Paul Benjamin, is a stark and searing portrait of a man pushed by circumstances to desperate extremes of action. Is he a hero for our time? A psychotic villain? Or merely a quixotic fool? In search of answers to these questions Brian Garfield probes deeply into the heart of one desperate man, and the city in which that man wields his gun. DEATH SENTENCE is a novel that demands to be read. It is a novel as timely as today’s headlines... with a fearsome portent for tomorrow’s.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/628707 http://flibusta.app/b/628707 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 05:35:38 GMT <p>Somewhere in the desert a girl has only minutes to live. A freaked-out rock group, a tyrannical industrialist, a very clever Mexican cop — the ingredients of a highly explosive confrontation.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/628706 http://flibusta.app/b/628706 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 05:35:38 GMT <p>An American Army combat unit in war-torn Vietnam, a prison camp behind enemy lines, a strategically important railroad bridge on the Sang Chu River — these are the ingredients of this gripping suspense novel. Here, set in bold relief against a background of slashing monsoon rain and upthrust poison pungi stakes of elusive traitors and friendly Montagnard tribesmen, in the timely and dramatic story of Colonel David Tyreen’s eight man suicide mission into North Vietnam. Of first priority in the rescue, before he talks, of Eddie Kreizler, held for interrogation by torture in a Viet Minh camp in North Vietnam. Second mission — to destroy the railroad bridge on the Sang Chu, protected from air attack by overhanging cliffs and heavily guarded against sabotage. From the moment they leave their home base in South Vietnam, the unit is plagued by trouble. There is the dangerous parachute drop — in the midst of a raging monsoon — that almost ends in disaster. Then the grim spectre of treachery and internal dissension splits the group as they begin to encounter enemy patrols. The arresting cast of characters is headlined by Colonel Tyreen, weak from malaria but fanatically intent on carrying out the mission; Captain Saville, who both admires and hates Tyreen and is willing to pay a staggering price for his loyalty; Sergeant Hooker, a tough career soldier and a demolitions expert who distrust the unit’s two Vietnamese members; and McKuen and Shannon, two reckless fliers with a clipped and outdated pale. The Last Bridge is a swashbuckling adventure tale that brings to vivid life all the raw and brutal emotions of men at war, and the bitter personal conflicts that move them to savagery and sacrifice.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/628705 http://flibusta.app/b/628705 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 05:35:37 GMT <p>A powerful mob boss commits a crime — and Fred Mathieson is a witness. An honest witness. Despite threats to himself and his family, Mathieson testifies. The government gives him a new name and identity, and relocates Mathieson and his family. But then the government’s files are infiltrated. The mob finds Mathieson. Pursued by the army of organized crime, Mathieson and his family are faced with deadly peril — and a menacing dilemma. Mathieson is a man who will not kill. But he must protect his family. He is an ordinary man faced with an extraordinary challenge. By meeting it head on, he triggers explosive excitement in this astonishing novel of pursuit and intrigue.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/628704 http://flibusta.app/b/628704 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 05:35:37 GMT <p>He’s fat. He’s old. He’s conceited. He’s rumpled. He inhabits a violent world — the CIA — yet he is non-violent. He loves two things, and only two, in all the world: eating and practicing his trade. He is an international troubleshooter, and he’s the best there is. He is Charlie Dark. The gang from Hopscotch is back, with Charlie Dark replacing Miles Kendig as the loner, the misfit who doesn’t fit the buttoned-down image of the Agency. His superior, Myerson, is here, and he hates Charlie as much as he hated Kendig. Cutter and Ross return, and so does Yaskov, the Soviet super-spy. Checkpoint Charlie is Brian Garfield’s brilliant sequel to Hopscotch, the novel which won an Edgar Allan Poe award from the Mystery Writers of America in 1976 and was filmed with Walter Matthau in 1980.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/626638 http://flibusta.app/b/626638 Mon, 5 Jul 2021 08:12:32 GMT <p>The Marksman is an original novelette, never published anywhere else, that is a crime and adventure story in the best Brian Garfield tradition — a race against the clock, double- and triple-crosses, and a breathtaking confrontation which makes the ending one you’ll never forget.</p> http://flibusta.app/b/557670 http://flibusta.app/b/557670 Wed, 21 Aug 2019 08:05:38 GMT http://flibusta.app/b/524742 http://flibusta.app/b/524742 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 07:47:27 GMT <p>During World War II, a Russian refugee spies for the United States<br /> Since the great upheaval of November 1917, Alex Denilov has known nothing but war.
