Tango One by Stephen Leather
          In different parts of London, three recruits prepare for their first day at the Metropolitan Police’s training centre, but on their first day, the assistant commissioner announces that he wants them to join a team of undercover detectives. They are to become criminals, work their way up through whatever criminal organizations they can get access to, and collate evidence against the criminals they come across. Their target is one of the world’s biggest drug dealers, Den Donovan, alias "Tango One." Three years later all the recruits are getting close to their target. Too close, perhaps, to remember the rules.

Buried at Sea by Paul Garrison
          Hired on as a deckhand and personal trainer to a wealthy investment banker, Jim Leighton’s dream of adventure came true when he set sail for Rio de Janeiro onboard the luxury yacht Hustle. But in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Jim’s enigmatic employer, Will Spark, makes a startling announcement: they are being pursued by someone who wants them dead.

And his options are rapidly being reduced to two: sail or die.

Julie and Romeo by Jeanne Ray
          The first time I heard the name Cacciamani I was five years old. My father said it, and then he spit…. Julie Roseman has known since childhood that Rosemans are supposed to loathe, despise, and distrust Cacciamanis. She’s never known exactly why, but she’s followed her family’s advice and avoided the Cacciamanis like the plague. Now she’s bumped into Romeo Cacciamani at a small-business conference.

          Now this unexpected relationship is blooming into something big. Julie and Romeo think it’s love. But when their families find out, it’s war….

Dead Sleep by Greg Iles
         They are called the "Sleeping Women," a series of unsettling paintings in which the nude female subjects appear to be not asleep, but dead. Photojournalist Jordan Glass has another reason to find the paintings disturbing: The face on one of the nudes is her own — or perhaps the face of her twin sister, who disappeared and is still missing. At the urging of the FBI, Jordan becomes both hunter and hunted in a search for the anonymous artist — an obsessed killer who seems to know more about Jordan and her family than she is prepared to accept….
