Envy: A Novel of the Fallen Angels

A man and a woman tread the lines of danger, desire, and deliverance in the new novel of the Fallen Angels from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
As the son of a serial killer, homicide detective Thomas "Veck" DelVecchio, Jr., grew up in the shadow of evil. Now, on the knife-edge between civic duty and blind retribution, he atones for the sins of his father- while fighting his inner demons. Assigned to monitor Veck is Internal Affairs officer Sophia Reilly, whose interest in him is both professional and arousingly personal. And Veck and Sophia have another link: Jim Heron, a mysterious stranger with too many answers... to questions that are deadly. When Veck and Sophia are drawn into the ultimate battle between good and evil, their fallen angel savior is the only thing that stands between them and eternal damnation.

Next morning our air-taxi came to take us back. Just fourteen days we had spent among the Indians of the Xingu - too short for our enthusiasm for these wonderful people - but increadibly revealing about the life of these nature people - observations which I hardly would be able to express in my modest words ! And when we had reached our height above the clouds again, I couldn't help to get lost in thoughts like this one : We represent the so called "civilized world" - with high-tec, greed for money, power and sex, and we reap envy, hate, murder and wars. Them, on the other hand, represent a "primitive world" (as we civilized use to say) - with highly developed knowledge of nature, a co-existence in mutual harmony, natural readyness of the strong to help the weak, respect of the elder by the younger, carefull dealing with nature . . . I could present a long list of my observations among them, proving who really are the true "human beings" of our planet ! (Please honor my work with your comment !)

Ja und dann, am nachsten Morgen, kam wie verabredet unser Lufttaxi, um uns abzuholen. Es lagen nur vierzehn Tage hinter uns - eine so kurze Zeit, die uns aber das Leben dieser Naturmenschen auf eine Art und Weisse erschlossen hatte, die man nur schlecht in Worte fassen kann - und erst recht nicht in kurze ! Und als wir dann wieder im Flugzeug sassen, beschaftigte ich mich mit Gedanken wie diesem : Wir reprasentieren die so genannte "zivilisierte Welt" - mit hoch entwickelter Technik, Gier nach Geld, Macht und Sex, und wir ernten Neid, Hass, Krieg, Mord und Totschlag. Sie dagegen, reprasentieren eine "primitive Welt" (wie wir Zivilisierten gerne zu sagen pflegen) - mit hoch entwickelten Kenntnissen der Natur, einer Co-Existenz in gegenseitiger Harmonie, naturlicher Hilfsbereitschaft der Starken, Respekt der Jungen vor den Alten, schonender Umgang mit der Natur . . . ich konnte eine lange Liste von Beobachtungen anfuhren, die mir bewiesen haben, wer die wirklichen "humanen Wesen" auf unserem Planeten sind.

Murder is such a dirty word…

New York Times bestselling adult true crime author Gregg Olsen makes his YA debut with EMPTY COFFIN, a gripping new fiction series for teens based on ripped-from-the-headlines stories…with a paranormal touch.

Crime lives--and dies--in the deceptively picture-perfect town of Port Gamble (aka “Empty Coffin”), Washington. Evil lurks and strange things happen--and 15-year-olds Hayley and Taylor Ryan secretly use their wits and their telepathic “twin-sense” to uncover the truth about the town's victims and culprits.

Envy, the series debut, involves the mysterious death of the twins' old friend, Katelyn. Was it murder? Suicide? An accident? Hayley and Taylor are determined to find out--and as they investigate, they stumble upon a dark truth that is far more disturbing than they ever could have imagined.

Based on the shocking true crime about cyber-bullying, Envy will take you to the edge--and push you right over.
