2017., General, Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Random House Call No: Bio E48a Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: It's no secret that federal agencies are waging a broad, global war against terror. In this memoir, a Muslim American federal agent reveals his experience infiltrating and bringing down a terror cell in North America.

2015., Crooked Lane Books Edition: eBook ed. Summary Note: Jordan, an agent for the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service, isn't in Israel for more than a day before her predecessor is killed in a Tel Aviv square. Assigned to investigate the assassination of one of her own, she must also protect Judge Ben Taylor and his teenage daughter. They may be the sniper's next target and are most certainly being threatened by a desperate cadre of terrorists with their sights set on the Secretary of State's upcoming visit. But is an attack on the Secretary of State all that they have planned or is that just the beginning? There are no protocols for this kind of a situation, and following the rules is exactly the kind of thing that could get the Taylors killed. To subvert an attack that could crush the fledgling peace in the Middle East, Jordan must trust her instincts and bring together a contentious team of agents from Israel, the U.S., and the Palestinian territories to uncover a conspiracy years in the making.

2017., Adult, Grand Central Publishing Call No: MYS Fic Bal Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Amos Decker Volume: 3Summary Note: "Amos Decker witnesses a murder just outside FBI headquarters. A man shoots a woman execution-style on a crowded sidewalk, then turns the gun on himself. Even with Decker's extraordinary powers of observation and deduction, the killing is baffling. Decker and his team can find absolutely no connection between the shooter--a family man with a successful consulting business--and his victim, a schoolteacher. Nor is there a hint of any possible motive for the attack. Enter Harper Brown. An agent of the Defense Intelligence Agency, she orders Decker to back off the case. The murder is part of an open DIA investigation, one so classified that Decker and his team aren't cleared for it. But they learn that the DIA believes solving the murder is now a matter of urgent national security. Critical information may have been leaked to a hostile government--or worse, an international terrorist group--and an attack may be imminent. Decker's never been one to follow the rules, especially with the stakes so high. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Agent Brown, Decker remains laser focused on only one goal: solving the case before it's too late."--From publisher.

2005., McClelland & Stewart Call No: 363.12 A298b Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "When the two men charged with planning and executing the 1985 Air-India bombings were acquitted on all charges in March 2005, Canadians across the country were shocked. What had looked like an open-and-shut case had fallen apart in the courtroom, and our sense of justice was deeply offended. Clearly, we hadn't heard the full story, nor had the judge. So what really did happen and how did the most expensive investigation and trial in Canadian history end without a conviction?" "One of the few who knows the whole story is reporter Kim Bolan, who has stubbornly pursued the facts of what remains Canada's first and worst terrorist act for twenty years, placing her own life in danger while uncovering the details of the plot and the actions of the conspirators. She probably should have been a witness at the trial, but decided she would rather report on the proceedings. But she tells us now in Loss of Faith just what she knows. It is an outstanding and hair-raising account of mass murder and deception that pieces together the cowardly plot and the conspirators' successful twenty-year evasion of justice. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.

Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A major North American hydroelectric dam is blown up and the largest off-shore oil field in this hemisphere is destroyed in a brutal, coordinated terrorist attack. But there was one factor that the terrorists didn't take into account when they struck the Capitana platform off the coast of Colombia--slaughtering much of the crew and blowing up the platform--and that was the Capitana crew chief Dewey Andreas. Dewey, former Army Ranger and Delta, survives the attack, rescuing as many of his men as possible. But the battle has just begun. While the intelligence and law enforcement agencies scramble to untangle these events and find the people responsible, the mysterious figure of Alexander Fortuna--an agent embedded into the highest levels of American society and business--sets into play the second stage of these long-planned attacks. The only fly in the ointment is Dewey Andreas--who is using all his long-dormant skills to fight his way off the platform, then out of Colombia and back to the U.S., following the trail of terrorists and operatives sent to stop him."--Publisher.
