Hudson and the local Sherriff, Ashley Collins, suddenly find themselves on the run from a ruthless ex-Special Forces security team, but the human threat is short-lived as something very much not-human destroys the facility and heads for civilization, leaving only a single clue behind-a name scrawled in blood: Nemesis. When yet another Sasquatch sighting leads to a research facility disguised as an abandoned Nike missile site in the back woods of Maine, Hudson's job becomes deadly serious. While other Fusion Centers focus on thwarting terrorist activity, Hudson's division is tasked with handling paranormal threats to national security, of which there have been zero during his years at the DHS. Jon Hudson, lead investigator for the Department of Homeland Security's Fusion Center-P, thinks his job is a joke.

He was a detective with the NYPD’s forensic investigations unit, and very much in the closet. The truth was, my partner of four years, Neil Millett, also had keys and the code, but mentioning his name around cops was a bit tricky. When he finds a body part in the floorboards of his store, he’s drawn into a mystery, initially against his will, but later with greater excitement. Sebastian Snow runs an antique shop, has an in-the-closet copy boyfriend, and achromatopsia–he can’t see color and has other vision problems due to that.

I can’t tell if he means what he’s saying, at first. The Leopard touched on torture porn, that’s what it did. I am rather nervous about putting this to him, but astonishingly, Nesbo agrees. They accuse him of writing torture porn – drawn-out descriptions of horrific acts that take a sick pleasure in the suffering of the victims. But his critics say that Nesbo goes way too far. The Leopard, The Snowman and others have sold 28 million books in 50 countries, and a new copy is purchased every 23 seconds, according to his publisher. ‘Violence is part of what I do, like the electric guitar in a rock band,’ says Nesbo, who commits his murders on the page as the writer of some of the best-selling – and most brutal – crime thrillers in the world. He drowned a man after superglueing him to the bath and gagged a woman with a steel ball that shot deadly spikes down her throat. I could have deleted, it was not necessary for the story,' said Jo Nesbo 'I don’t regret writing The Leopard but in hindsight I see that in some of my scenes I go too far. Soft, suppressed sighs, as if they meant sadness, or pain. He was sure he could hear somebody sighing, or breathing. His parents were sleeping right down at the other end of the corridor, and that meant safety was two doors and thirty feet away, across a gloomy landing where an old grandfather clock ticked, and where even in daytime there was a curious sense of solitude and suffocating stillness. " Daddy," he said, but the word came out so quietly that nobody could have heard him. His pulse raced silently and endlessly, a steeplechase of boyish terror that ran up every artery and down every vein. He strained his eyes and his ears in the darkness, looking and listening for the slightest movement, the slightest squeak of floorboards. He froze, not daring to breathe, his eight-year-old fingers clutching the candy-striped sheet right up to his nose. He woke up during the night and he was sure there was someone in his room. To me, this was a mystery/paranormal first and a romance second. I really liked the mystery part, it had me on the edge of my seat while biting my nails… It pulled me in right from the very first page. Add to that the frustration of seeing ghosts at every turn while he works a case that’s stalled in its tracks, and Rain is starting to wonder if second chances and happy endings are just for fairy tales. It doesn’t help that Rain is pretty sure he’s falling in love with Danny all over again-if he ever stopped. Daniel is glad to finally have the FBI help that his department requested, even if it does come in the form of his ex. Five years earlier, high school student Amy Greene went missing after leaving her part-time job and was never seen again. Rain is determined to do exactly that, even if it kills him.Ĭold-case detective Daniel McKenna’s latest investigation is going nowhere fast. His boss gives him one last chance to redeem himself-go down to Brickell Bay, play nice with the local police, and leave the ghost sightings behind. It just takes one moment of weakness, one slight, tiny, itty-bitty paranormal sighting, and all of a sudden he’s the agency’s embarrassment. SSA Rain Christiansen used to be the agency’s golden boy.
