All the Devils

Description

A search for a pair of serial rapists leads Livia Lone down the darkest and most dangerous trail of her life in a pulse-pounding thriller by New York Times bestselling author Barry Eisler. Ten years ago, the daughter of Homeland Security Investigations agent B. D. Little vanished into thin air. So did seven other girls - the crimes all bearing the same signature characteristics. Now the disappearances have begun again. And Agent Little's efforts to investigate are being blocked by forces far above his pay grade. Desperate, he turns to Seattle sex-crimes detective Livia Lone, the most obsessive hunter of predators Little knows. Livia will need that obsessiveness, and a lot more. Because the two men Little is pursuing are fearsome. Both Special Forces veterans with a dozen tours in Iraq between them. Both sadists and serial rapists. And one, the congressman scion of the vice president of the United States-a man who will use all his power to protect his son's secrets and further his own ambitions. The conspirators have all the assets and all the angles. And every reason to believe they'll evade justice, as they always have before. They don't understand that for Livia Lone, justice is only a guideline. Revenge is the rule.

Praise for Barry Eisler's Livia Lone: An Amazon Best Book of 2016 A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction of 2016 Selection "An absolutely first-rate thriller...Emotionally true at each beat." -New York Times Book Review "An explosive thriller that plunges into the sewer of human smuggling...Filled with raw power, [Livia Lone] may be the darkest thriller of the year." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Readers may be reminded of Stieg Larsson's beloved Lisbeth Salander when they meet Livia Lone, and will be totally riveted by the story of this woman on a mission to right the wrongs in her past." -Bookish "You won't be able to tear yourself away as the story accelerates into a Tarantino-worthy climax and when you're left gasping in the wake of its gut-wrenching vigilante justice, you'll belatedly realize you learned a lot about a social travesty that gets far too little attention...Livia Lone is a harrowing tale with a conscience." -Chicago Review of Books Praise for Barry Eisler's The Killer Collective: "Impossibly cool." -Entertainment Weekly "As usual with an Eisler novel, the plot is full of twists, the prose is muscular, and the action unfolds at a torrid pace. The result is another page-turner from one of the better thriller writers since James Grady published Six Days of the Condor in 1974." -Associated Press "In this crackling-good thriller from bestseller Eisler, Seattle PD sex crimes detective Livia Lone, assassin John Rain, and former Marine sniper Dox form a testy alliance to combat a vile conspiracy involving corrupt and toxic government agencies...The feisty interplay among these killer elites is as irresistible as if one combined the Justice League with the Avengers, swapping out the superhero uniforms for cutting-edge weaponry and scintillating spycraft. By the satisfying conclusion, the world has been scrubbed a bit cleaner of perfidy. This is delightfully brutal fun." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Vicarious pleasure for anyone wanting to see the scum of the world get its due." -Kirkus Reviews "Riveting...Barry Eisler pulls off an Avengers-like feat..." -The Mercury News "Eisler turns the heat up like never before to deliver a fun, fast-paced thriller that's tailor-made for fans of nonstop action." -The Real Book Spy
