Crimeline

They have been drawn into a plot more insidious than anything they could have imagined—a battle to control one of religion’s greatest secrets. For English detective Nigel Lyman, it begins with the suspicious suicide of a corrupt Italian banker in London. For French-born Mariane Soury-Fontaine, it starts with the mysterious disappearance of her lover. And for American mathematician Joseph Koster, the search leads through France’s soaring cathedrals to the baffling labyrinths that masons once carefully inscribed in their floors. These strangers are about to crack a code that dozens have died for, a puzzle whose power reaches back to the birth of the Christian faith, through the echoing halls of the Vatican, and to the dark, corrupt realms of organized crime. Now staying alive is the ultimate challenge. Because the next revelation is the most forbidden of all . . .

A secret so explosive, the church always insisted it was just a legend. Now it'll stop at nothing to prevent its discovery... The coded journal of Benjamin Franklin. A hidden map. A legendary gospel. These are the first pieces to an ancient puzzle so powerful, it could destroy the very foundation of Christianity. Once before, Joseph Koster unearthed one of the church’s most deeply buried secrets . . . and it almost cost him his life. But some treasures are too hard to resist. And as Koster puts the pieces of the puzzle together, he discovers something even more startling … and infinitely more deadly. Now, along with a beautiful engineer, Savita Sajan, Koster must race to decode Franklin’s journal before it falls into the hands of those who would do anything, kill anyone, to suppress it. But in a world of secret societies, ancient conspiracies, and Masonic puzzles, locating the prize is one thing … staying alive, another. For as Koster and Sajan are about to learn, the same key that unlocks the doorway to Heaven … could open the portals of Hell.

"HOMELAND Meets THE MATRIX" Planes crash into one another midair. Nuclear power plants go berserk. Railroad crossing gates rise, letting cars pass just as trains whistle by. Thousands are injured or killed. The only connection between these seemingly unrelated events is that the systems controlling them are all Internet-driven. FBI cryptanalyst forensic examiner John Decker, working at the National Counter Terrorism Center in Northern Virginia, uncovers a deadly plot to sabotage a key U.S. defense contractor. When the plot leads to an old Islamist adversary, long thought dead, Special Agent Decker has no idea he is about to be thrust into a diabolical conspiracy that winds to the heart of our national defense. In the course of a week, America is paralyzed by a series of devastating cyber-attacks that cripple the nation’s security, financial markets and transportation systems. Assisted by beautiful and brilliant computer expert Xin Liu (Lulu), Decker must unravel the mystery behind whoever – or whatever – is taking over the Net. Who’s responsible for these deadly cyber-attacks? Is it Jihadists of the Crimson Scimitar cell, led by Decker's old nemesis, El Aqrab? Is it North Koreans, working out of Dandong, China, instead? Or, is it somebody else altogether? In this new chilling techno-thriller, international #1 best-selling novelist J.G. Sandom grabs the reader by the nape of the neck and never lets go. An exciting, fast-paced, well-spun yarn of a patriot betrayed by his wife, his friends, his senses and, ultimately, even himself. Ripped from the headlines, 404 explores our nation’s vulnerability to cyber-attack, and how the United States is coping with the twenty-first century struggle to balance the right to privacy with our cyber vulnerability.

"Dexter" meets "Gossip Girl" meets "Kill Bill" A teen serial killer named Robin Beauvais gets herself invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, ostensibly because of an app she's developed, though in reality to take out nefarious billionaires who have committed unspeakable crimes but whose great wealth insulates them from prosecution and punishment. Says Robin, "When it comes to class warfare, as far as I’m concerned, there’s far too much class and not enough warfare." From the international best-selling author of "Confessions of a Teenage Body Snatcher" and "Kiss Me, I'm Dead," which the Washington Post called "a subtle gem."

When Cryptanalyst John Decker of the FBI is assigned to the Joint Terrorist Task Force in New York, he has no idea he is about to be thrust into a deadly plot of eco-terrorism masterminded by El Aqrab, a diabolical killer recently arrested in Tel Aviv whose calling card is to wrap his victims up with incendiary devices designed to produce flames in the shape of Koranic verses. Some call it aesthetic destruction. Following the theft of eight kilos of Highly Enriched Uranium, an ultimatum is issued to the West: Release El Aqrab or a nuclear bomb will be detonated. But, at the last moment, El Aqrab escapes . . . and the authorities never get the bomb. While Homeland Security is convinced it's headed for New York, only Agent Decker - assisted by brilliant and beautiful oceanographer Emily Swenson - believes the bomb's true destination is La Palma, in the Canary Island chain. Now, Decker and Swenson only have six hours to prove their theory, defuse the bomb, and prevent a mega-tsunami from annihilating the Eastern Seaboard. Kirkus said, "Sandom's strength lies in the verve of his story, with writing that has both muscle . . . (and) brains . . . (THE WAVE) races from improbable to crazywild, all in good fun, with Sandom always one step ahead . . . A story with enough manic energy to be worthy of a nuclear explosion."

Genre Fiction

The beggar children of London are vanishing. They're disappearing . . . right off the streets. Some say it's got something to do with the business of body snatching, grave robbers digging up corpses and selling them to doctors for medical research. Some say it's far worse. Now, racing against time, only Victor -- a poor immigrant boy recently ship-wrecked and sold into the bondage of beggary -- can uncover the identity of the ghoulish murderer at the heart of London's furtive trade in human trafficking. They took his best friend. They kidnapped the girl that he loves. Now, there's only one thing worse than their finding him . . . and that's him finding them first.  Oliver Twist meets Breaking Bad Spartacus meets Bones Previously named a Junior Library Guild selection, Publishers Weekly called CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BODY SNATCHER, "A haunting tour of London's underclass during the 1830s . . . Teens will likely be both captivated by Victor's harrowing story as well as his ability to prevail in the face of harsh injustices." VOYA said, "Teen readers will thoroughly enjoy the hair-raising suspense in this historical thriller." KLIATT said, "Like M.T. Anderson's The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, this look at sinister events in history makes the era come alive and lingers in the memory." And School Library Journal said, "Part historical fiction and part adventure story, the novel brings excitement to Victorian England . . . Readers will be on the edge of their seats."     Originally published in hard cover by Penguin/Dutton under the title Resurrection Men by T.K. Welsh (the author's pen name), this novel has since been republished in soft cover and for the Kindle by Cornucopia Press under the title CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BODY SNATCHER by J.G. Sandom (the author's birth name).
