Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From Jack Chase, author of Made in America and Violent Crimes, comes a sweeping tale of rebellion, forbidden love, court intrigue, and dark forces stirring beneath a kingdom on the brink.Raised beneath a cruel monarchy, Jamie Campbell is a bastard peasant marked for death after the King's Watch executes his guardian. Fleeing into the wilderness, he falls in with the Black Rider, a disgraced knight turned masked mercenary who strips him down and reforges him in war and deception. Far to the north, the remnants of a shattered rebellion still smolder. Scottish lord Henry Beverley surrenders his daughter, Margaret, to the Crown in marriage to King Lionel Taylor, while her brother, Peter 'Mad Peter' Beverley, escapes the slaughter. He and his rogue militia become all that remain of the Scottish army-a living threat, a blood debt unresolved.When Jamie learns his lover, Lillian Spires, has been enslaved by the Crown, he and the Black Rider infiltrate the royal court disguised as members of a traveling theatre troupe. King Lionel clings to power through paranoia and bloodshed, but true authority rests with Prince Damien Taylor, the 'Black Prince,' whose calculated cruelty sustains the crown as much as it corrodes it.Living under a false name, Jamie is drawn into palace intrigue-and into a forbidden romance with Margaret Beverley, the captive Scottish princess promised to the king. As her brother marches south to reclaim her and destroy the Taylor dynasty, pressure closes around the castle from every direction-including from within. Caught between performance and survival, love and rebellion, Jamie uncovers truths that threaten to tear the kingdom apart-truths about the man who forged him, the crown, and the role he was born to play.And beneath the castle, something older than crowns and bloodlines begins to wake.The Bastard of Taylor's End is a sprawling historical fantasy of masked mercenaries, royal conspiracies, forbidden romance, rebellion, and revenge-where theatre becomes espionage, love becomes treason, and the fate of a kingdom may rest with the bastard nobody expected to survive.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Saturday before Thanksgiving, eighteen-year-old Evelyn Armstrong comes home to Bronxville, New York. By sunrise, she is missing. Three days later, searchers find her body in the woods near Twin Lakes, and a town built on old money, good schools, and the illusion of safety discovers how quickly one murder can poison everything around it.FBI profiler James Prince arrives from Manhattan with a famous name, a failed marriage, a young daughter he sees in rationed hours, and an instinct for violent offenders so sharp it has made him one of the Bureau's best. Prince reads people the way other investigators read evidence, but Bronxville gives him too many versions of the truth at once: grieving parents, frightened students, teachers with impeccable reputations, old grudges resurfacing under pressure, and a victim whose private life proves more complicated than anyone wants to admit.Evelyn's father, Richard Armstrong, has no interest in waiting for the FBI to catch up. A decorated former Navy SEAL with two combat tours behind him, Richard spent years learning how to move through hostile ground and hurt people efficiently. Now he has a daughter in the ground and no patience left for procedure. While Prince builds his case, Richard begins dismantling the town one door, one lie, and one suspect at a time.Then winter arrives all at once.A historic blizzard closes over Westchester, burying roads, knocking out power, and isolating Bronxville beneath snow while the investigation tightens and Richard's private war accelerates beyond anyone's ability to control it. Prince knows the killer is still somewhere inside the town. Richard knows only that someone took his daughter from him.Both men are getting closer.Only one of them understands what they are getting closer to.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jack Chase's reader-acclaimed literary epic thrusts readers into the darker recesses of 2014 New York City. The novel offers a sprawling exploration of corruption, inheritance, and resilience in a deteriorating world, told through an overlapping ensemble that includes the son of a dead gangster, a single mother, an alcoholic FBI agent suffering from acute amnesia, a ruthless District Attorney, a corrupt NYPD officer, and an otherworldly nightlife entrepreneur who moonlights as a drug trafficker.Billy Castle is twenty-five years old, commuting from Queens to Manhattan to serve drinks to uptowners, keep his alcoholic mother afloat, and outrun the reputation of a father whose name still echoes through certain corners of the city-whose ostensibly random murder in a liquor store by an unknown shooter when Billy was a child left behind nothing but a name that carries weight in all the places Billy has spent his whole life avoiding.On his first week working at The Palace, one of Manhattan's most exclusive nightclubs, Billy witnesses the execution of an Italian capo in the loading dock after being sent down to retrieve a crate of booze. Instead of silencing him on the spot, the club's untouchable owner-who moonlights as the city's most feared contrabandist-Archer Stone, gives him a moment to make his case. The air changes when he hears Billy's last name, and from that moment on, Billy's life begins to follow a path he swore he'd never take-and one he never expected to be so intoxicating.Forced into the role of accomplice, the novel's five-act structure follows Billy's ascent through a world of ambition, loyalty, and violence, where power moves quietly and nothing stays buried. Meanwhile, federal agent Dean Willis is hunting Archer Stone, chasing fragments of a past he can't fully remember-one that may tie all three men together in ways none of them can imagine, and potentially reveal the devastating truth behind his missing wife and daughter.Touted by readers as 'a triumph in crime fiction' and 'impossible to put down,' Made in America delivers as a literary crime epic about inheritance, power, and the machinery of the American dream.…
