The question I'm most frequently asked goes something like this, "Shawn, what's your secret--what's the one thing you do differently than everyone else that allowed you to build such great abs?" The one thing, the one thing, the one thing... So many people are looking for the one thing--the secret. Many people think the one thing is some ab-training device like the type you see advertised on television infomercials. It's not. Others would like you to believe that the one thing is some miracle fat-burning pill. It's not. Others would have you believe that the one thing--the big secret--is liposuction or some other quick fix. Once again, it's not.

The fact is, and this is the first and most fundamental lesson of my ABSolution Program, the one thing is everything! Everything we do affects the way we look and the way we feel. It's when we exercise, how we exercise, and the exercises we do. It's when, what, and how much we eat. It's which vitamins and supplements we nourish our bodies with. It's how much we rest and recover. It's how we think and how we live. It's everything. And, that's what this book is all about. It's about everything you need to learn to build your own absolutely fantastic abs..

A Scribner Crime Novel

Internationally acclaimed crime writer John Gardner returns with a magnificent new cutting-edge thriller in the grand espionage tradition for which he is famous.

Charlie Gauntlet, a retired lawyer who was "something dodgy for the Foreign Office," is recently married to the much younger Rebecca "Bex" Olesker, a Detective Sergeant in the London Metropolitan Police's Anti-Terrorist Branch. Charlie has more or less come to terms with Bex's demanding and dangerous job, though it's hard for him to stay home when his young wife is on the front lines. Especially when she's facing Alchemist.

Who is Alchemist? Nobody seems to know, except that he's an unidentified hired assassin who strikes high-profile targets and demands a big payoff. If you have enough money and want somebody killed -- even a head of state -- he's your man. As Alchemist is described to Charlie, he's a "wizard soldier" who "walks on water, goes invisible, turns himself inside out like a reversible coat." He has had police all over the globe hopping around for the last decade and a half. Now, Bex may be the one to find him, but will she survive the encounter?

While Bex goes to Ireland, tracking a young woman lawyer who may lead her to Alchemist, Charlie takes a strange and perhaps perilous journey of his own. His unlikely guide is Britain's most infamous traitor, Kit Palfrey, who turns up on Charlie's doorstep with an intriguing tale of five ancient scrolls found in the bowels of Moscow's Lubianka prison. Are the scrolls authentic? If so, they could provide a new explanation for the Christian faith.

As Bex and her team converge to stop the assassination of a head of state in London, Charlie probes the mysteries of a remote monastery off the west coast of Scotland, where the sacred offices are not the only order of the day.

With style, wit, and page-turning tension, John Gardner's Day of Absolution builds to an electrifying conclusion as it examines some of life's most eternal questions..

A consummate debut novel of crime and obsession that The Washington Post dubbed "one of the year's best literary thrillers." It's twenty years since police detective Alan McAlpine has set foot in Patrickhill Station—and more than twenty years since he fell forever in love with the mute, faceless woman he called Anna as she lay dying in Glasgow's Western Infirmary. Daily he'd watched over her, and they had begun to communicate with each other, she by moving her wounded fingers. Her fingers could not tell the sad, unseasoned police cadet her name, however, or name for him the father of her newborn baby girl or identify the assailants who had flung the acid in her once incomparably beautiful face. Or tell him how she'd smuggled a cache of uncut diamonds into Scotland.

Now McAlpine is back in Patrickhill, where he's been summoned to head up the investigation of a disturbing murder case. Two women—their arms outstretched, their legs together and feet crossed at the ankle—have already died at the hands of a man the press has tagged the Crucifixion Killer.

With crimes in the present continually detouring both McAlpine and the elusive killer he pursues into an unredeemed past, the mystery in this steely, piercing psychological thriller is as gripping as its twists are surprising. And absolution proves to be extreme.
