Ten years ago, a chance meeting at the Lighthouse Café in Redondo Beach led Sam Fargo and Remi Longstreet on the adventure of a lifetime, hunting the legendary riches stolen from the Persian King Croesus in 546 B.C. But they weren''t the only ones. Someone else is after the gold, and he''s willing to kill anyone who gets in his way.

But with Sam''s ingenuity and Remi''s determination, they survive their confrontation with the drug runners, and manage to send one of the key players to prison. Though the cache of gold is never found, life goes on. Sam and Remi marry--and years later return to Greece to find the one treasure that got away. Time becomes their enemy when the kingpin they helped send to prison over a decade ago is released--and he has two goals in mind. Find the legendary hoard of King Croesus, and kill Sam and Remi Fargo. The Fargos know that as long as this gold is out there, no one is safe. They return to Greece for a final showdown--and one last chance to find that elusive treasure.

San Francisco homicide detectives Kate Gillespie and Sam Scolari are investigating the discovery of a dead body in a freezer when Sam''s wife is murdered. When Sam suddenly disappears, everyone thinks he is the murderer and Kate is left to solve the mystery and prove his innocence.

The colder it gets . . . the hotter it gets. Three years ago SFPD Homicide Investigator Kate Gillespie was in pursuit of a suspect who murdered a hooker in a sleazy motel, and she nearly lost her own life in the process. The shooter escaped into the San Francisco shadows and the trail went colder than the grave. Now Kate''s appearance on a Bay Area "crime stoppers" TV show produces new leads that carry her back into the sordid world of drugs and prostitution -- and point her toward a local crime boss whose missing wife is possibly linked to multiple men and multiple murders. But when a dangerous knot of betrayals, secrets, and criminal cover-ups starts unraveling, Kate can only hope she''ll be as lucky as she was on that black night at the Twin Palms Motel. Because the only way to the truth leads directly into the line of fire . . .

San Francisco homicide inspector Kate Gillespie returns to investigate an apparent murder/suicide that leads her into a labyrinthine web of dark family secrets and multiple murders.

Facts lie . . . Two decades after the murder that shattered her world, FBI agent and forensic artist Sydney Fitzpatrick confronts her father''s killer face to face. But the inmate who''s scheduled to be executed for the crime is not what she expected. Heightening Sydney''s unease, she receives a photograph sent to her by a man just prior to his suicide, causing her to question everything she believed about her father. Now she wants the truth—no matter where it''s hidden, no matter how painful . . . or dangerous. But Sydney Fitzpatrick is about to trespass on sacred ground. And being a federal agent will offer her no security or shelter if it''s her own government that wants her dead.

“A very talented writer” (Lee Child), who is “smart, tough, and right on the mark” (Catherine Coulter), and “among the best writers of crime fiction” (Jan Burke), Anthony Award-winning author Robin Burcell broadens her canvas with The Bone Chamber—an electrifying thriller that recalls the best of James Rollins and Dan Brown as it races across the globe. An extraordinary adventure that combines C.S.I. forensic investigation with global conspiracy and ancient secrets of the Vatican and the Knights Templar, The Bone Chamber is a non-stop thrill ride that never slows down.

The first death was ruled an accident. But when a second accountant from A.D.E.—a popular relief organization that resettles East African refugees—turns up dead, FBI Special Agent and forensic artist Sydney Fitzpatrick is called in to lend her expertise in an increasingly troubling case. Not only is the charity backed by a powerful U.S. senator, but the investigation reveals that its funds have been siphoned off to bankroll terrorist cells in black list countries, and Sydney fears the consequences. And it may already be too late. Death has crossed the border from Mexico and is now heading toward Washington, D.C. Time is rapidly running out—and unless Sydney and her partner, Zachary Griffin, can get to the root of a monstrous conspiracy, untold thousands will die in a nuclear nightmare and a nation will be reduced to chaos.

Covert agent Zachary Griffin and FBI Special Agent Sydney Fitzpatrick are sidetracked from an ongoing investigation to follow up on a potential lead. In a small Arizona border town, gunrunning and drug trafficking into Mexico are a part of the landscape—but not when they''re orchestrated by an officer in uniform. At least that''s the story told to agents Griffin and Fitzpatrick. But the dirty cop is now missing, and his sister says he''s innocent, a victim of a corrupt police department. She is convinced they set him up to take the fall, then killed him, and she can prove it—with help from a highly unusual witness. Suddenly an open-and-shut case seems anything but, and the clock is ticking as Griffin and Fitzpatrick take on an entire police department in a deadly match that could go up in smoke at the last second.

An undercover agent is tasked with protecting a computer code that threatens world stability in this suspense thriller. FBI Special Agent Sydney Fitzpatrick knows nothing about the Devil’s Key, except that her father was involved in its theft twenty years ago and was murdered as a result. The Devil’s Key, a list of seemingly random, supposedly indecipherable numbers, poses an immediate threat to national security—and anyone caught with this code in their possession is terminated with extreme prejudice. Sydney, unaware of the standing kill order, only just recovered the list and turned it over to her superiors—but not before making a copy. Now the hard drive containing the list’s data has been compromised and two civilians are dead. But Sydney’s not the only one in danger. When a young woman with eidetic memory sees the numbers, Sydney and her partner, Zachary Griffin, must protect her—and what she knows—at all costs. For if the code falls into enemy hands, it could devastate the entire country’s infrastructure—and even ignite a world war. “A very talented author.” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child

Un’automobile rarissima scomparsa come uno spettro. Un tesoro sparito nelle pieghe del tempo. E un mistero lungo un secolo per Sam e Remi Fargo. Inghilterra, 1906: Charles Rolls e Henry Royce sviluppano un rivoluzionario prototipo di automobile chiamato «Grey Ghost», lo Spettro grigio, che all’improvviso svanisce dalla fabbrica di Manchester. La polizia inglese accusa del furto uno dei dipendenti della Rolls-Royce, e quando l’auto viene ritrovata i due magnati la consegnano al visconte Jonathon Payton, come ringraziamento per il suo prezioso contributo alle indagini. California, oggi: Albert, discendente dell’aristocratica famiglia Payton, è sul lastrico e, pur di non vendere tutte le proprietà per risanare le sue finanze, si rivolge a Sam e Remi Fargo nella speranza di ottenere un prestito, offrendo in garanzia proprio quella Grey Ghost che più di cento anni prima era stata rubata. Sam e Remi accettano di aiutarlo, pur conoscendo bene la maledizione che grava sull’automobile, confermata dalu00adl’enu00adnesimo furto che si compie proprio sotto i loro occhi. I Fargo scoprono che nelle indagini del 1906 era coinvolto anche un giovane detective americano di nome Isaac Bell, già sulle tracce di un gruppo di criminali specializzato in rapine ferroviarie ai danni di portavalori. Ed era stato proprio Bell a localizzare la Rolls-Royce. Oggi lo Spettro grigio potrebbe valere oltre cinquanta milioni di dollari. Ma potrebbe valere ancora di più un tesoro svanito nel nulla collegato all’automobile. Sam e Remi scoprono rapidamente che non sono le uniche persone a cercare l’auto. Anche qualcun altro ha messo gli occhi sulla Rolls-Royce. Qualcuno che ha architettato un piano folle ed è pronto a tutto pur di attivarlo.

Un’antica pergamena, una maledizione mortale, un viaggio nell’Africa più misteriosa: arriva la nuova avventura dei coniugi Fargo. È il 533 d.C. L’ultimo sovrano dei Vandali del Nord Africa consulta un oracolo per scoprire come sconfiggere l’esercito bizantino invasore. L’oracolo rivela la segreta verità: una sacerdotessa ha lanciato una terribile maledizione sul regno in seguito al furto di un rotolo sacro. Il re, per annullare la maledizione, dovrà trovare il rotolo e riportarlo al suo posto. Ma la guerra imperversa, il regno cade prima che il sovrano possa ottenere il perdono degli dèi e la pergamena viene consegnata alla storia soltanto come una leggenda. Ai nostri giorni, durante alcuni scavi archeologici in Tunisia finanziati dai cacciatori di tesori Sam e Remi Fargo, antichi indizi riguardo all’antica pergamena tornano alla luce, e intanto si verificano strani incidenti. Poco dopo, una spedizione di rifornimenti destinata alla scuola femminile che hanno fondato in Nigeria viene rubata. I Fargo si recano quindi nel cuore dell’Africa per consegnare di persona un nuovo carico di forniture, ma lì un gruppo di criminali prende in ostaggio Remi e le allieve della scuola. La maledizione della pergamena, rievocata dopo millenni, sembra colpire di nuovo… Sam e Remi dovranno fare appello a tutte le loro abilità per uscire sani e salvi da questo pericoloso scacco, senza perdere uno dei più grandi tesori di sempre.

Un’avventura tra mito e realtà. Una corsa lungo il filo della storia. È vissuto oltre duemilacinquecento anni fa, ma la sua ricchezza era tale da divenire leggendaria e sopravvivere al tempo: re Creso, sovrano della Lidia, era noto a tutti per la quantità di oro che possedeva. Un oro che forse gli venne rubato, ma che di sicuro sparì, senza però essere mai dimenticato. Sam e Remi Fargo, i più grandi cacciatori di tesori del nostro tempo, sono sulle tracce di quell’oro da oltre dieci anni. La prima volta hanno dovuto rinunciare alla spedizione perché le loro ricerche si sono scontrate con quelle di una vasta operazione criminale che hanno contribuito a sventare. Oggi, Sam e Remi hanno deciso di tornare in quei luoghi del passato per portare a termine la loro missione, rimasta in sospeso fino a ora: trovare l’antico e inafferrabile tesoro, e onorare un caro amico perduto. Ma non sono i soli a cercare la fortuna di Creso. Un vecchio nemico ha scontato la sua pena in prigione e al momento del rilascio ha solo due obiettivi in mente: trovare l’oro e uccidere i Fargo…
