When Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cooper is summoned to Tina Barr's apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side, she finds a neighbour convinced that the young woman has been assaulted. But the terrified victim, a conservator of rare books & maps, denies that & refuses to co-operate with Alex & the police investigators. Tina disappears, & then another woman is found murdered in the same apartment, with an extremely valuable book at her side. The book has probably been stolen, but from whom & how? Pursuing the murderer Alex is drawn into the strange & privileged world of rich & secretive book collectors, where avarice & greed is as strong an inheritance as wealth. In a beguiling mix of history & suspense Linda Fairstein takes readers on a breath-taking ride through collections of beautiful first editions, supposedly 'lost' atlases, & deep into the hidden rooms & tunnels of the great New York Public Library. ...

Set between the high-powered world of New York & the manic excitement of Las Vegas, here is a deliciously uninhibited tale of cover-ups, deception & mob involvement. Packed with intrigue, glamour & an irresistible cast of characters, Lethal Seduction will seduce you all the way. ...

Once known as the ' Band of Brothers', now, 60 years later, the same unit calls itself the ' Lethal Warriors, ' having seen the worst of the violence in Iraq. The notorious army unit from Fort Carson, Colorado is plagued by PTSD & its members, misdiagnosed or untreated since returning from war, embarked on drug-fuelled crime sprees. ...

Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) is no ordinary cop. He's a Mad Max gone maniacal, a man whose killing expertise & suicidal recklessness make him a Lethal Weapon to anyone he works against. Or with. Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is an easygoing homicide detective with a loving family, a big house & a pension he doesn't want to lose. Imagine Murtaugh's shock when he learns his partner is a guy with nothing left to lose: wild-eyed, burnt-out Martin Riggs. Lethal Weapon is the thrill-packed story of two Vietnam-vets-turned-cops who have just one other thing in common: both hate to work with partners. But their partnership becomes the key to survival when a routine murder investigation leads to all-out, take-no-prisoners, martial-arts-and -machine-guns war with an international heroin ring. Director Richard Donner (Conspiracy Theory, Lethal Weapon 4) moves that war at two speeds: fast & faster. Hot L.A. days & nights explode in one show-topping scene after an other, culminating in a no-holds-barred battle between Riggs & his Angel-of-Death nemesis (Gary Busey)
- an electrifying sequence incorporating three martial-art styles & requiring four full nights to film. Fierce, fast & frequently funny, Lethal Weapon fires off round after round of can't-miss entertainment.
