Human
betrayal, medical terror and a race against time... Jealousies, distrust, and
hidden rivalries uncover dark secrets, then a dozen vials of a deadly virus go
missing. As a blizzard whips out of the north on Christmas Eve, several people
converge on a remote family house. Stanley Oxenford, director of a
pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is
developing to fight a lethal virus. Several others are interested in his
success too: his children, at home for Christmas with their offspring, have
their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, head of his security team and
recently forced to resign from the police, is betting her career on keeping it
safe; an ambitious local television reporter sniffs a story, even if he has to
bend the facts to tell it; and a violent trio of thugs are on their way to
steal it, with a client already waiting. As the storm worsens and the group is
laid under siege by the elements, the emotional sparks crackle and dark secrets
are revealed that threaten to drive Stanley and his family apart for ever.
Filled with
startling twists, Whiteout is the ultimate knife-edge drama from an

The Wisdom of Alexander the Great reveals four leadership processes distilled from the life and extraordinary accomplishments of Alexander, King of Macedonia.
Rising Sun Nakamoto corporation is celebrating the grand opening of its new
headquarters, the Nakamoto Tower, in Los Angeles; the office building
is awash with celebrities, dignitaries and local politicians. On the
46th floor of the very same building, Cheryl Lynn Austin, 23, is
murdered. Lieutenant Peter Smith, the Special Services Liaison for the LAPD, is assigned to this case. He is joined by retired Captain John Connor who has lived in Japan for a while and is thoroughly accustomed to Japanese culture.
The investigation is hampered from the start as the Japanese insist
that the opening party, which takes place on the 45th floor, not be
disturbed. It soon becomes apparent that evidence from the security cameras
has been tampered with, and that the Japanese requested the Special
Services Liaison only to delay the investigation. Throughout the book
Connor uses his knowledge of Japanese customs, culture and mindset to help Smith solve the mystery.
