Bait
From the bestselling author of Cold Steel Rain Bait KENNETH ABEL ‘Clever, tough and terrific’—TIME OUT The day narcotics cop Jack Walsh killed Mafia boss Johnny D'Angelo's son in a drunk-driving accident, he knew his life was over. Thrown in jail and out of the force, release means Walsh is now fair game for a vengeful D'Angelo. As the hit teams begin to circle Walsh's small-town hide-away, the FBI watch and wait. For them, D'Angelo is the catch they've never quite managed to land. And Jack Walsh is now the perfect bait. 'Brilliant ... a thrilling narrative in which there's no slack, no false step'—LITERARY REVIEW 'A scorcher... enough to make you comb publishers' lists for his next and play games casting the movie'—TIME OUT 'One of the finest crime novels I've ever read ... a stunning achievement'—JAMES LEE BURKE
Cold Steel Rain
Nothing stays dead in New Orleans. Not for long, anyway… No one knows this better than ex-district attorney Danny Chaisson—the dead show up in his bathroom mirror every morning, staring right back at him with hollow eyes. Chaisson is the legman for Jimmy Boudrieux, speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives, for whom dirty dealing is more than just a way of life. So when Danny makes his regular pick-up of a briefcase full of handguns at a downtown Vietnamese restaurant, leaves the room for a moment, and returns to find a bloodbath, he knows the next bullet has his name on it. And nobody—least of all Boudrieux or the crooked cops who control the NOPD—is going to lift a finger to help him. From the bestselling author of Bait: “A scorcher . . . clever, tough and terrific enough to make you comb publishers’ lists for his next.”—Time Out
The Blue Wall
‘The Blue Wall isn’t just good; it crackles, zings and sizzles’—Washington Post Hooking his latest corpse out of the Brooklyn River, the NYPD's Dave Moser opened a can of worms bigger than he ever hoped to see. Eva Cruz is beautiful, but very dead; her father is the first shiny link in a corrupt chain that leads to a multi-million-dollar racket with Moser's best buddy playing cop liaison. Overnight Detective Moser finds himself outside the Blue Wall—his so-called friends locked inside a conspiracy of silence. From the bestselling author of Cold Steel Rain and Bait: 'A scorcher . . . enough to make you comb publishers' lists for his next and play games casting the movie'—Time Out 'One of those savvy crime thrillers that sparkle with wit, cynicism and intelligence'—Washington Post

Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
The topic of the 2010 Abel Symposium, hosted at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, Oslo, was Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, the study of which is of fundamental importance in mathematics and in almost all of natural sciences, economics, and engineering. This area of mathematics is currently in the midst of an unprecedented development worldwide. Differential equations are used to model phenomena of increasing complexity, and in areas that have traditionally been outside the realm of mathematics. New analytical tools and numerical methods are dramatically improving our understanding of nonlinear models. Nonlinearity gives rise to novel effects reflected in the appearance of shock waves, turbulence, material defects, etc., and offers challenging mathematical problems. On the other hand, new mathematical developments provide new insight in many applications. These proceedings present a selection of the latest exciting results by world leading researchers.
