MARK URBAN – TASK FORCE BLACK
The book the MoD doesn't want you to read' Daily Mail
Soon after British and American forces invaded Iraq they faced an insurgency that was almost impossible to understand, let alone reverse.
Facing defeat, the Coalition waged a hidden war within a war. Major-General Stan McChrystal devised a campaign fusing special forces, aircraft, and the latest surveillance technology with the aim of taking down the enemy faster than it could regenerate. Guided by intelligence, a small British special forces team met the car bombers' fire with fire and accounted for thousands of insurgents.

MARTIN CRUZ SMITH – STALIN’S GHOST
Moscow lies deep under snow, and Arkady Renko is called in to handle a delicate matter: passengers riding the last metro of the night have reported seeing the ghost of Stalin on the platform edge. Not everyone, it seems, likes the fact that Stalin is dead . . .
But in the midst of a blizzard nothing is as it first appears to be. Renko’s girlfriend Eva and his adopted son, Zhenya, seem to be slipping into danger. The owner of a matrimonial agency wants her husband killed. An innocent `Russian Bride’ employs a garrotte. A chess grandmaster wanders into Renko’s life and leads him into the line of fire. Diehard Communists gather to sing along with Stalin. `Red Diggers’ uncover secrets buried for half century in a desolate forest and Renko discovers ghosts that have been waiting for him all his life . . .
As Russia swings more and more to the right, Renko is more and more out of step. Not only an original and deeply humane thriller, Stalin’s Ghost is also a wonderful evocation of the emerging New Russia.
Praise for Martin Cruz Smith:
`Cruz Smith not only constructs grittily realistic plots, he also has a gift for characterisation of which most thriller writers can only dream’ Mail on Sunday

Ususally they come to nothing, but when friends and colleagues start turning up dead, it soon becomes clear that someone from Jacquot's past has a score to settle. The first to die is a bride on her wedding day. She's been shot in the head. And an eye has been removed. The second to die is the wife of a high-ranking officer in the Marseilles homicide squad. Her throat has been cut and a tooth removed. When a third body is found, there's a hand missing; and the fourth body has had a foot sawn off. The message couldn't be clearer -- an eye for any eye, a tooth for a tooth, and so on. But not only that. In order to sweeten the revenge and cause the greatest pain, his victims are never the names on the list but the people closest to them. When Jacquot realises that he's the target, he knows that unless he can track dow
