Jeffrey Deaver 2 Book Collection: Edge and The Burning WIre

2 book collection of Jeffrey Deaver: Edge and The Burning Wire

Edge: Behind the well-known U.S. security organizations- the FBI and CIA among them-lies a heavily guarded, anonymous government agency dedicated to intelligence surveillance and to a highly specialized brand of citizen protection. Shock waves of alarm ripple through the clandestine agency when Washington, D.C., police detective Ryan Kessler inexplicably becomes the target of Henry Loving, a seasoned, ruthless "lifter" hired to obtain information using whatever means necessary. While Loving is deft at torture, his expertise lies in getting an "edge" on his victim-leverage-usually by kidnapping or threatening family until the "primary" caves under pressure.

The Burning Wire: An explosion at a Manhattan electrical power substation that destroys a bus-followed by threats of much worse violence unless Algonquin Consolidated Power and Light meets virtually impossible demands-sparks Deaver's ninth Lincoln Rhyme novel.
