Дом в Милане, где Пино живет с родителями, превращается в развалины при бомбежке. Юноша связывается с подпольщиками. Помогая еврейским семьям бежать от свастики через Альпы, Пино встречает Анну, свою любовь. Но неисповедимы пути войны — чтобы уберечься от смерти, юноша вступает в германскую армию, и судьба сажает его за руль личного авто Ганса Лейерса, одного из самых влиятельных и таинственных военачальников Третьего рейха, человека, которому покровительствует сам рейхсканцлер Германии Адольф Гитлер. С этой поры Пино живет между двумя полюсами — любовью к Анне и ненавистью к бездушной силе, чье имя фашизм.

That is until Chris, her colleague – and until recently, her fiance – is found dead, brutally murdered in an old slaughterhouse outside the city.

The slaughterhouse is filled with bodies. But just as Private begin their investigations, the building explodes, wiping out all evidence of the crimes, and nearly killing Mattie and her team.

Mattie soon realises that a masked killer is picking off Chris’s childhood friends, one by one, and destroying the trail. But who wants the past buried so badly? What is the truth about that slaughterhouse? And will Mattie become the killer’s next victim?

When Jack Morgan stops by Private's Paris office, he envisions a quick hello during an otherwise relaxing trip filled with fine food and sightseeing. But Jack is quickly pressed into duty after a call from his client Sherman Wilkerson, asking Jack to track down his young granddaughter who is on the run from a brutal drug dealer. Before Jack can locate her, several members of France's cultural elite are found dead - murdered in stunning, symbolic fashion. The only link between the crimes is a mysterious graffiti tag.
As religious and ethnic tensions simmer in the City of Lights, only Jack and his Private team can connect the dots before the smoldering powder keg explodes.

They live behind such a high wall of security and image control that even world-renowned Private Investigator Jack Morgan can't get to the truth. But as Jack keeps probing, secrets sprout thick and fast - and the world's golden couple may emerge as hiding behind a world of desperation and deception that the wildest reality show couldn't begin to…

In late March 1944, as Stalin’s forces push into Ukraine, young Emil and Adeline Martel must make a terrible decision: Do they wait for the Soviet bear’s intrusion and risk being sent to Siberia? Or do they reluctantly follow the wolves―murderous Nazi officers who have pledged to protect “pure-blood” Germans?

The Martels are one of many families of German heritage whose ancestors have farmed in Ukraine for more than a century. But after already living under Stalin’s horrifying regime, Emil and Adeline decide they must run in retreat from their land with the wolves they despise to escape the Soviets and go in search of freedom.

Caught between two warring forces and overcoming horrific trials to pursue their hope of immigrating to the West, the Martels’ story is a brutal, complex, and ultimately triumphant tale that illuminates the extraordinary power of love, faith, and one family’s incredible will to survive and see their dreams realized.

“Poignant poems about moments of grace, light beaming through darkness, and beauty found in unexpected places. Sullivan employs a consistently investigative approach that immediately draws readers in. His curiosity and humility are disarming, and readers will willingly follow his path of discovery, without fear of getting lost, becoming overpowered, or feeling emotionally spent. Sullivan's deftly written poems have a wonderful and appealing balance of emotion and intellect. Lyrical, elegant, and polished, his poetry resonates with distinctive imagery and music. . . . A strong new poetic voice whose poems add a little more light to the world.” —Booklist The poems in Slag begin with everyday experiences—a glance at a construction site or the boredom of waiting for a bus—and then use such unpromising events to explore what Mexican poet Octavio Paz once called “the dark, forgotten miracle of being alive.” Whether meditating on New York’s diamond district or the death of the last person to have known Van Gogh, Mark Sullivan’s lyric consciousness expands from initial points of contact to ever-broadening associations. The result is an evocative, reflective poetry that recognizes in the slow advance of the loris across its Bronx Zoo cage what it means “to love the world or to fear / it.” Sullivan pays special attention to animals and the natural world, to the visual arts, and to the relentless stimulation of the nation’s largest city, his free verse creating a lucid language where slam dunks and Zeno’s paradoxes coexist, where the stillness of a snail discovered in a package of spinach reveals “the process that makes the world.” “The poetry of Mark Sullivan slows time down, sees the world calmly, clearly, as a whole with a precise and tender attention that strives to do justice to the complex mysteries of existence. In this it is a classical poetry for our time: wise, humane, objective, deeply felt, paying homage to the wonder and sorrow of our world.” —Louis Asekoff, author of North Star From “Slag” What are stones but the slowest of clocks, half-lives ticking down every millennium or so, subatomic gears meshing like ocean liners
