Nuccia Agazzi Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Bret e Sarah Lewis stanno per celebrare il loro ventesimo anniversario di nozze e, nei festeggiamenti, vorrebbero coinvolgere gli amici Shel e Ramy, anche loro sposatisi alla stessa epoca. All'improvviso, però, Shel rivela a Sarah che i rispettivi coniugi sono amanti. E mentre la donna si chiede se è ancora possibile salvare i due matrimoni, Bret e Ramy architettano un finto attentato terroristico per liberarsi dei consorti. Ma l'imprevisto si insinua nella loro perfida macchinazione, con esiti sconvolgenti.

Op een winterse dag in het Minneapolis van de jaren 70 krijgt de jonge Billy Michaels een visioen waarin de kerstman aan hem verschijnt. Op dat cruciale ogenblik in zijn leven vangt hij voor het eerst een glimp op van de macht die zijn levensloop zal vormen en vervormen. Want deze kerstman is niemand anders dan de eeuwenoude god Mercurius, die Billy laat kennismaken met een buitengewone macht: die van de slangestaf. Gaandeweg leert Billy hoe hij deze verschrikkelijke talisman kan activeren en gebruiken, soms met rampzalige gevolgen...

Having spent the past two years in hiding following a daring and successful heist, a big -time robber is back in Minneapolis, having spotted the opportunity for an even greater steal. It's a couple of weeks before the big Republican party convention: thousands of people spending cash, which is flowing into a relatively inadequate Brinks warehouse, protected by only three or four armed guards. The robber's plan is to distract the cops by manipulating and alerting them to a possible assassination attempt. Lucas Davenport meanwhile has problems of his own, targeted by a psychopathic pimp, who blames Davenport for the fact he's in a wheelchair. Only it's not Davenport he's going after; it's his innocent daughter, Letty.
