<div>The international bestselling author of The Corsican delivers &ldquo;a carefully constructed and evocative Civil War-era tale.&rdquo; &mdash;John Lutz, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author When Johnny Came Marching Home is a mystery, a love story, and William Heffernan&rsquo;s best book to date. The novel tells the story of three boys who grow up in rural Vermont in a seemingly indestructible friendship, then see their lives ruined as they go off to fight in America&rsquo;s &ldquo;great and noble war.&rdquo; Trapped in a what appears to be an endless bloodbath&mdash;vividly presented with Heffernan&rsquo;s meticulous historical research&mdash;the boys gradually begin to change until their close-knit childhood ties are little more than a fractured memory. By war&rsquo;s end, one boy is dead, one returns a physically crippled and emotionally compromised man, and the third comes home as an unfeeling psychopath. The novel turns on the subsequent murder of the psychopath, and the offer of redemption for the wounded young man who must investigate the crime. When Johnny Came Marching Home is a story about war and how it affects the lives of all who become a part of it, both directly and peripherally. Although set during the Civil War, this book casts shadows of what we endure today and the horrors to which young soldiers are subjected. &ldquo;Heffernan swings his vivid tale back and forth between past and present, war and peace&mdash;a neat tour de force he pulls off with admirable assurance.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &ldquo;A powerful, intriguing, and complex novel about the intricacies of friendship and the devastating effects of war.&rdquo; &mdash;Jonathan Santlofer, author of The Death Artist</div>

Clearwater, Florida, is the spiritual center of Scientology, a religion that encourages its members to remain pure and true to their beliefs. One senior leader has a misguided young man in his employ, a twisted soul who will stop at nothing to make sure the rules are followed. With veils of secrecy surrounding the church&rsquo;s inner sanctum, the detectives are stonewalled at every turn.

The Scientology Murders

<div>A Florida cop with a connection to the dead investigates the murder of a monstrous woman in this &ldquo;edgy police drama&rdquo; by the Edgar Award-winner (New York Times Book Review). When Harry Doyle was ten years old, he was murdered by his mentaly ill mother&mdash;and brought back to life by two Tampa cops. Twenty years later he has dedicated his life to putting killers behind bars as a homicide detective who has the unwanted ability to hear the postmortem whispers of murder victims. Dubbed &ldquo;The Dead Detective&rdquo; by his fellow cops, Doyle now faces his most difficult case&mdash;a beautiful murder victim who was a notorious child molester. It is a case that will shake Harry to his very core. A former investigative reporter, William Heffernan is a three-time nominee for the Pulitzer Prize. His other crime novels include The Corsican, The Dinosaur Club, and the Edgar Award-winner, Tarnished Blue. &ldquo;The Dead Detective is a meaty story that offers an intriguing and conflicted protagonist, a darkly fascinating victim, solid police procedural detail, a knowing look at the Tampa Bay area and its politics, an unlikely murderer, and a creepy denouement that hints that Harry will be back.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist</div>

The Dead Detective

<div>Anyone who brings grief to the people NYPD detective Paul Devlin loves is going to have to pay. That's why he's accompanying Adrianna Mendez, the lady of his heart, to Cuba, where Adrianna's aunt Maria has met with a serious "accident." A great hero of Castro's revolution, revered throughout the island as Angel Rojo, Dr. Maria Mendez was burned beyond recognition in a car wreck, then her body was stolen by members of a bloodthirsty voodoo sect. Now Devlin is determined to recover the Red Angel's remains and unravel the dark secret behind her death. But the New York cop's legendary street sense may not be enough to keep him breathing in this unfamiliar world of corruption, terror, and potent black magic -- especially when a vengeful madman and his killers land on the enigmatic island with one immediate goal: to watch Paul Devlin die.</div>

Red Angel

<div>A woman is dead, her throat and midsection viciously slashed open, a lethal dose of heroin found in her system. But what makes this grisly New York outrage different from all the others -- and tosses the "red-ball" squarely in Detective Paul Devlin's lap -- is the fact that this victim was a nun. Blistering heat is coming down from the mayor's office, One Police Plaza, and the Archdiocese, so Devlin needs to find a murderer, and fast. But suddenly walls are being made to derail an investigation that is leading Paul Devlin and his people in a shocking direction: into the secret, fortified heart of the Catholic Church itself -- and toward a terrifying conspiracy cloaked in silence, piety, and blood that extends wider than anyone ever imagined.</div>

Unholy Order

<div>The bestselling saga of crime and international intrigue that lifted the gangster novel to astonishing new heights Dragged from the dank, rat-infested prison cell where he has spent the past few months, Buonaparte Sartene is given a choice: Join the French Resistance or rot in jail for the next seven years. The adopted son of a Corsican Mafia family, Sartene is a thief with a capacity for violence and a knack for subterfuge&mdash;valuable tools in the fight against the Nazis. But it is his other great gift&mdash;the ability to strike a deal&mdash;that changes Sartene&rsquo;s fortunes for good and propels this blistering, expansive thriller from the frozen forests of occupied France to the steamy jungles of Southeast Asia. In exchange for risking his life against the Germans, Sartene demands not just a pardon, but also the right to settle his family in the French colony of his choice when the war is over. Laos in the late 1940s is a land of delirious opportunity, offering a clean slate even to a man with a past as shadowy as the Corsican&rsquo;s. It is not long, however, before another government requires his special skills. In league with the OSS, Sartene and his son, Jean, and lieutenants, Auguste and Benito, take control of the Laotian opium trade and force the Communists out. But the price of power is dear, and when a betrayal from within his own organization threatens the one thing that Sartene values more than money and power&mdash;his family&mdash;he retreats from the drug business. A decade later, it is up to his grandson Pierre, a US intelligence agent stationed in Saigon in the early days of the Vietnam War, to track down the man who murdered his father and double crossed his grandfather&mdash;and to enact a terrible and righteous revenge. With its sweeping scope and nonstop action, The Corsican is a thriller as global as crime and as relentless as a vendetta. </div>

The Corsican

<div>The electrifying follow-up to The Corsican Cold War Marseille is a city of shadowy alliances and loose morals, where a good man can lose sight of which side he is really on and evil men profit from the misery and confusion of others. It is therefore the perfect town for Ernst Ludwig, an East German terrorist who is sadistic beyond measure. But when Ludwig kidnaps and murders the wife of Alex Moran, the US intelligence agent hot on his trail, he sets off a blood feud whose violent shock waves will span decades and reach all the way across the globe. To avenge his wife&rsquo;s death, Moran turns to his &ldquo;uncles&rdquo; in the Corsican Mafia, Antoine and Meme Pisani. The Pisanis have been in league with US intelligence since the 1940s, when Moran&rsquo;s father, a CIA agent, sought their help in suppressing Communist agitators. But the height of the Cold War is a more complicated era, and Moran is forced to resign when his personal alliance with the underworld threatens to shed light on murky dealings between the US government and the mob&mdash;dealings that are way above his pay grade. Ten years later, he is called back into action when Ludwig resurfaces as the chief henchman of a Colombian drug lord bent on bringing the Pisani brothers to their knees. Given another chance at revenge, Moran will stop at nothing to bring the German&rsquo;s reign of terror to a grisly end. William Heffernan&rsquo;s return to the bestselling world of Corsican crime and international espionage is a thriller so propulsive it grabs you by the throat on the very first page and never lets go. </div>
