When a NATO weapon that could ensure peace or start World War Three vanishes in the Arctic, Kurt Austin and NUMA race to recover it before it falls into enemy hands in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series created by the “grand master of adventure” Clive Cussler.In the frigid air high above the Arctic Ocean  American C-17 carrying a cutting-edge laser of immense power, successfully shoots down a ballistic missile nearly four hundred miles away. Before the celebration can even begin, the aircraft goes dark, vanishing off radar and disappearing into mist at the top of the world. As the details emerge it becomes obvious that the aircraft has been hijacked, the crew murdered at their stations. Its last known heading would take it directly to Russia, but the CIA insisted it never arrived. An odd signal suggests it crashed into the Arctic Ocean halfway between Norway and the North Pole. In a tense meeting the President asks how deep the waters are in that area.  Not deep enough, is the answer. Russian ships are seen putting out to sea in large numbers. Chinese vessels are spotted north of Norway.  The only American asset in the area is a small research vessel operated by NUMA. The President orders NUMA to send it into the fray. Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala lead the search but soon find that all is not as it seems.  The Chinese were waiting for the planes arrival, the Russians had expected it to land on their territory and now all three are closing in on a shooting war to keep the others from finding the missing plane.  With the rules of engagement suspended and lives hanging in the balance, Kurt and the NUMA special projects team pull on the threads connecting the mystery only to discover the great nations of the world being manipulated by a single man with a deadly plan of revenge.

A retro dream job turns deadly when the music stops-and Madison Night may be siding with the wrong suspect.
Mid-century modern interior decorator Madison Night's latest job should be a dream: transforming a 1950s ranch house into a retro recording studio. The catch? The client is a music producer who's both a friend of Madison's ex and the ex of one of her closest friends. Already caught in the crossfire of a messy post-divorce battle, Madison does her best to stay neutral-until murder takes center stage.
When pop singer Vanessa Wright, one of the producer's two clients, is found dead in the park outside his home, neutrality is no longer an option. Vanessa was a former child star on the brink of a career-defining comeback, with everything to gain-and someone determined to stop her. As Madison balances swatches and soundproofing with secrets and suspects, she uncovers fractures within the singer's inner circle and resistance to Vanessa's collaboration with Madison's client. When evidence begins to point squarely at him, Madison's instincts clash with the mounting suspicion.
Her police captain boyfriend is convinced the producer may be guilty, and Madison finds herself on the opposite side of the investigation. With motives piling up faster than records in a jukebox, Madison must uncover who silenced the singer before the microphone drops on murder.
This is the thirteenth book in the Madison Night mystery series, featuring an over fifty amateur sleuth, mid-century modern design, and crimes where personal loyalties blur the truth. Perfect for readers who love smart heroines, retro flair, and traditional mysteries with real stakes. Read more
