Brad Meltzer’s The Viper: A Zig & Nola Novel (Escape Artist #3) tells the story of a murder and the priceless object the killer was looking for. Roddy LaPointe opens an investigation and calls on “Zig” Zigarowski for help. Soon, Zig, Roddy and Roddy’s twin sister, Nola Brown, are on the case, unraveling the secrets behind the crime and a decades-old, close-to-home unsolved family murder. In Brad Thor’s Choke Point: A Thriller, a series of bombings tears through Bangkok, and scores of American citizens are dead. As the attacks shake the world, America calls on its top spy, Scot Harvath. But the bomber isn’t a terrorist – he’s one of ours, and far more dangerous. And in the background, China is moving into the breach to ignite chaos and trigger a devastating military coup. Moderating is Sarah Lyall, journalist and writer at large for The New York Times.
