Stephanie Plum returns to hunt down a new kind of criminal operating out of Trenton in the twenty-eighth book in the wildly popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude whom she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy. Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice. Unsure if Diesel is her partner or her competition, she’ll need to watch her back every step of the way as she works to draw Wednesday out from behind his computer and into the real world in this “action-packed caper filled with crazy twists and some nail-biting suspense” (Booklist, starred review).

Hibs and Hearts first locked horns on Christmas Day 1875. Hearts won 1-0 and even the most ardent Hibs fan would have to admit that the Tynecastle team has had the better of things in contests for local bragging rights over the 135 years which have followed. However, Hibs have had their moments too and the 6-2 derby win at Easter Road inspired by Franck Sauzee and Russell Latapy in October 2000 is a recent example of green and white triumph. No Hibs win over their local rivals, though, has come close to the epic 7-0 victory which was recorded by the great Turnbull's Tornadoes team on the first day of 1973. On the day that the United Kingdom entered the European Economic Community, Hibs carved out their own slice of history by vanquishing Hearts by seven clear goals on their own turf at Tynecastle. As the 40th anniversary of this iconic encounter approaches, Ted Brack describes the great match and the events which preceded it and tells the story of what has happened to the players who took part in it in the decades which have followed.Ted's book is written from his own experience and draws heavily on the first-hand memories and reminiscences of other supporters and the outstanding players who wore the green and white of Hibernian on that seminal day. Ted has spoken at length to players like ice cool goalkeeper Jim Herriot, world class full back John Brownlie, rock solid centre half Jim Black, classy and composed sweeper John Blackley, midfield maestros Alex Edwards and Alex Cropley, goal scorer supreme Jimmy O'Rourke and the peerless captain Pat Stanton. The players' honesty and insight make this book the definitive account of a match which still boasts the record competitive winning margin between Edinburgh's Big Two - Hearts supporters please note. "The Game on New Year's Day" is a must read for Hibees and should bring some cheer after their recent Cup disappointments.

Rob van Duis served two consecutive tours in Vietnam, on grueling and dangerous LRRPs - Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrols. The ‘shadow warriors’ deadly warfare games of silent covert scouting operations against the enemy deep in the bush could last a few weeks at a time. Although their task was to locate, spying out enemy positions and call in strikes, they invariably took part in ambushes and small scale raids. With numerous firefight missions under his belt, van Duis had become a skilled combat field operator. Once back stateside, he continued to hone his warfare field craft under the training of a highly-decorated former Army Green Beret officer, Dave Randall, who successfully served three Nam combat tours. With high-profile military connections, Randall is able to secure a government assignment to fight Communist Sandinista insurgents in Nicaragua along with other teams. It was into this hot cauldron of socio-political chaos, in late 1977 that recruited experienced fighting soldiers began to be inserted within Nicaraguan borders clandestinely to fight the Sandinista rebels to avert a communist takeover so close to the U.S. border. Having recruited and trained a team of twelve experienced combat operators, van Duis being one of them, they are off once again taking the field as in Vietnam years in rough and unforgiving terrain striking fear and death to armed rebels with a vengeance. The story begins with Bravo Team’s covert arrival into Nicaragua. Van Duis and his teammates hit the ground running as they battle Sandinista rebels deep in enemy territory. His team’s first-full scale battle is to purge a peaceful countryside villa of the armed combatants that have besieged it. After a vicious door-to-door fight to clear the villa’s dwellings of rebels, it takes all the firepower available to finally defeat the horde of insurgents, who have taken innocent villagers hostage in a dense woodland area. On another mission as a solo strike team, Bravo is inserted into a rebel-infested area to neutralize a weapons supply depot, but as happenstance would have it they are faced by an enemy force triple the size they anticipated. The hazardous assignment takes yet another unforeseen turn; as van Duis and team flee to the exfiltration point, they are faced with taking an injured young peasant girl to safety with armed Sandinistas on their heels. Van Duis provides an insider’s look at the trauma of warfare’s brutality. Each mission is depicted with the intensity that only a real participant can portray. Even as a trained and experienced warrior, in the face of hideous combat he is affected by what he witnesses; the catastrophic aftermath to the civilians caught in the chaos of war. The story takes the reader deep inside the cataclysmic combat action seen through the eyes of Rob van Duis, a member Strike Team Bravo. His and the team’s direct actions are rendered in the thick of the hellacious and death-defying perilous missions. This real-life journal of agonizing anguish that takes a toll on the human body and spirit is based on actual events. Their warfare missions provide a realistic look at the traumatic bane of armed conflict and its terrorizing face and subsequent results as Bravo goes after Communist rebel camps and supply depots with one solitary mission agenda; to take down the enemy with as much deadly force required wiping them off the face of the map. Nothing short of complete sterilization of their target is acceptable. Bravo manages to overcome the odds with chilling and bristling fighting sequences that puts the reader’s mind in the very midst of terrifying clashes; close enough at times to see the whites of the enemy’s eyes before death overtakes the fallen. Nothing is as dramatic as actual in-your-face combat action up close and personal.
