Hardback. Zustand: Good. W.E.B. Griffin's iconoclastic OS heroes face an historic challenge in the brand-new volume of the New York Times-bestselling series. Critics and fans alike welcomed the return of the shrewd, sharp, rousing (Kirkus Reviews) Men at War series: The Saboteurs is good entertainment and the fast-paced and exciting novel Griffin's readers have come to expect. This is Griffin's 36th novel and his son's first; one wonders how prolific a force Griffin & Son will be (Library Journal) Now, Dick Canidy and colleagues in the Office of Strategic Services face an even greater task--to convince Hitler and the Axis powers that the invasion of the European continent will take place anywhere but on the beaches of Nazi-occupied France. Wild Bill Donovan's men have several tactics in mind, but some of the people they must use are not the most reliable--are, in fact, most likely spying for both sides - so the deceptions require layer upon layer of intrigue, and all it will take is one slip to send the whole thing tumbling down like a house of cards. Are the OS agents up to it? They certainly think so. And then the body is found floating off the coast of Spain. . . . Filled to the brim with action, character, and the deep understanding of the military heart and mind that have made Griffin's books so outstanding, The Double Agents is irresistible storyteller from a master of the craft.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The dramatic new novel in the Philadelphia police saga by #1 New York Times - bestselling author. In Philadelphia - already suffering among the country's highest murder rates - homicide is at an all-time high. With each violent crime, tension builds between the police department, the mayor's office, and the Citizens Police Oversight Committee. The most vocal activist, reformed drug dealer Reverend Josiah Cross, places the blame, and with it, a target, squarely on the back of twenty-seven-year-old Homicide Sergeant Matt Payne. Now Payne must navigate death threats and misdirected public outrage to follow a strange pattern in seemingly unrelated killings. As chanting protesters fill the streets, the city threatens to erupt. Payne has gone from 'Wyatt Earp of the Main Line' to 'Public Enemy Number One.' Ordered to stay out of the line of fire, he struggles to solve the murder of a reporter who was just as unwilling as Payne himself to let death threats keep him from his job. As Sergeant Payne looks for justice, Pulitzer Prize - winning journalist Mickey O'Hara looks to finish the story where his fellow reporter left off. Both men know that they cannot back down, though this may be the end of their reputations, their work, and even their lives. Filled with authentic color and detail, this is a riveting novel of the men and women who put their lives on the line, from the cop on the beat to the commissioner himself. It's a story of fears and dangers, courage and loyalty, genuine heroism and love - storytelling at its absolute best. 'Griffin is one of those writers who sets his novel before you in short, fierce, stop-for-nothing scenes. Before you know it, you've gobbled it up. The Philadelphia Inquirer 'A writer of true virtuosity and talent . . . Like precious few others in the book marketplace, W. E. B. Griffin delivers as advertised.' Fort Worth Star-Telegram.…

Powerful forces in the US government are arrayed against them as well, and if one side doesn't get them.the other side will.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. If coincidence had thrown these men together in any normal military organization, and if, improbably, they had become buddies there, any commanding officer with enough sense would have broken up the gang as threats to good military order and discipline. But they werent in any normal military organization. They were in the Office of Strategic Services. The Battle of the Atlantic is at its peak. Packs of German U-boats are hunting and sinking U.S. supply ships.
