|summary=Phil Davis is a detective in a small town in Texas and he's intrigued rather than professionally involved when he sees the body of an elderly road accident victim whose back is covered with scars which have obviously been inflicted over years if not decades. There's no suggestion that the death was anything other than accidental but Davis starts to wonder when he hears of other men with similar scars who have met an untimely - if seemingly innocent - death recently. And all his investigative instincts are alive when he encounters FBI agent Luis Valdez - seemingly one of the big beasts of the agency who's spending time looking into a murder with which he was incidentally involved as an adolescent some twenty five years earlier. To cap it all, someone was tried for the crime and has been in a mental institution since, so what is Valdez doing?

|summary=We're twenty years or so into the future and the world is desperately short of oil. Trouble always follows such a situation. There are energy shortages, economies are contracting and the threat from terrorism is constant. The CIA and the FBI were amalgamated some time ago and agent Scott Pierce of the FSA is hunting the man known as The Spider. He's been in deep cover - including a prison sentence - but this isn't just work to him. The Spider was responsible for the Eurostar bombing which cost Pierce his wife and he's determined to see the man dead. The fact that The Spider is determined to strike at the heart of America's democratic institutions and bring her to her knees is ''almost'' secondary.
