Der erfolgreiche New Yorker Buchhalter Paul Benjamin genießt ein Mittagessen, als eine Gruppe von Drogenabhängigen in sein Zuhause einbricht. Nachdem sie nur wenig Geld finden, greifen sie Pauls Familie brutal an, töten seine Frau und versetzen seine Tochter ins Koma. Von Trauer erfüllt und sich der Ohnmacht der Polizei bewusst, beschließt er, die Dinge selbst in die Hand zu nehmen.

Der Roman ist ein unerschütterlicher, kraftvoller Thriller, der zeigt, wie weit ein Mann getrieben werden kann, bevor er die Kontrolle verliert.

An aged Western showman reflects over his long and colorful career Few bother to separate the myth of Colonel Hugh Cardiff from his real life. The nation knows him as a sharpshooter, buffalo hunter, moving pictures pioneer, and one-time proprietor of the greatest Wild West show the nation has ever seen. Some of the stories are true, some exaggerated, and some rank among the wildest of tall tales. But for a man who has lived like Colonel Cardiff, the facts trump the myth. In the spring of 1868, Denver is the richest, wildest city west of the Mississippi. When an overweight Easterner named Dr. Bogardus rolls into town to announce a shooting contest with a $1,000 prize, ears prick up. Young Hugh wins the shoot with an ancient muzzle-loading rifle, knocking glass balls out of the air and missing only four out of one hundred targets. He is famous at nineteen, and the Colonel's wild life is just getting started.

Paperback, fiction based on fact, Winston Churchill recruits a young commando to spy, assassinate and sabotage.

"You try to walk in this town, you hear footsteps behind you—it's like the sound of grenades. A walk in Chicago after dark is a combat mission." This is the story of Paul Benjamin, a man obsessed with revenge and private justice. Revenge against the criminals—the muggers, the murderers, and the rapists who prey on the innocent and the helpless. Death Sentence is the continuing saga of the hero of Death Wish, an ordinary man driven to vigilantism by the brutal rape and murder of his wife and daughter. When Paul moves to Chicago to get away from his past, he knows he is going to continue his violent and private war. He also knows this time he might get caught. What he does not expect is to fall in love with a beautiful woman who is more dangerous to him than the men he stalks. "Edge-of-the-chair reading all the way....Wholly fascinating." —The Booklist "Garfield is a first-rate storyteller." —Publishers Weekly

On the hunt for long-lost gold, a historian attracts murderous attention Twenty-five million people died during the Russian Civil War. It was a clash between Tsarist loyalists and the new Soviet order, and when the imperialist forces saw defeat in sight, their thoughts turned to their future. Under the command of Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak, they loaded the entire Tsarist treasury onto a train, packing millions of worthless banknotes alongside platinum, jewels, and over five hundred tons of gold bullion. As Kolchak retreated, the train disappeared, and the fortune vanished. America's foremost historian of Russia, Harry Bristow, is researching a new biography of Kolchak when an ancient veteran of the Russian Civil War gives him a clue to the gold's whereabouts. Bristow would like to find the treasure for the sake of historical research, but where gold goes, greed follows--and death is not far behind.
