2009: Pete Saubers, a boy whose father was brutally injured by a stolen Mercedes, discovers a buried trunk containing cash and Rothstein’s notebooks.
2014: After 35 years in prison, Morris is up for parole. And he is hell-bent on recovering his treasure.
Now it is up to retired detective Bill Hodges – now running an investigative company called ‘Finders Keepers’ – to rescue Pete from an ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris….

by Richard Flanghan
IN THE DESPAIR of a Japanese prisoner of war camp on Burma’s notorious ‘Death Railway’, surgeon Dorrigo Evans is haunted by his love affair with his uncle’s young wife two years earlier.

Blood Med
by Jason Webster
SPAIN IS CORRUPT and on the brink of collapse. The king is ill, banks are closing, hospitals are in chaos, homes are lost, demonstrators riot and right-wing thugs patrol the streets. The tunnels beneath the streets are at once a refuge and a source of anger. And as the blood flows Max Camara roars in on his motorbike…
Camara is back in Valencia, and in the old police headquarters the mood is tense as the chief hunts for cuts – who will go, Camara or his friend Torres? The two men are flung into action investigating the suicide of an ex-bank clerk and the brutal murder of a young American woman. As the city erupts around them, their case takes them into the heart of the trouble.
The Emperor’s Revenge
by Clive Cussler
JUAN CABRILLO and the crew of the Oregon – the Corporation – face an unprecedented challenge when a violent bank heist during the Monaco Grand Prix decimates their bank accounts.
To get their money back, Juan joins forces with an old friend from his days in the CIA to track down a rogue hacker and a ruthless former Ukrainian naval officer.
It is only after the Oregon’s hunt begins that the enormity of the treacherous plan comes into focus – the bank theft is just the first step in a plot that will result in the deaths of millions and bring the world’s economies to a standstill.
The catalyst for the scheme? A stunning document stolen during Napoleon’s disastrous invasion of Russia. But 200 years later, it may be the thing that brings Europe to its knees.
