Maigret's Patience (Inspector Maigret #64)

Maigret finds himself back on the Rue des Acacias just ten days after cracking another case there.

While the stakes rise, Maigret’s patience is tested as he eliminates suspects neighbor by neighbor in his hunt for the murderer. A riveting mystery, Maigret’s Patience showcases the inimitable detective’s tireless mettle in the pursuit of the truth.

It is thought to hold the code disclosing the location of a treasure hidden in the fifteenth century.

Russian, Chinese, and Romanian gangs centered in Boston want the code and all of them are hot on the trail. Violence is their language—brutality, their technique. And who is hired to see that the treasure lands in the rightful place? None other than Michael Knight with a little help from his senior law partner Lex Devlin and his crony, Billy Coyne, Boston’s deputy district attorney.Michael uses the thin leverage of his knowledge about the violin to keep each of the three gang leaders at bay, while he follows the chain of historic clues from a violin shop in the Carpathian Mountains to a gangster-infested nightclub in Bucharest, to a university in Istanbul, and back to the gang headquarters of the three competing criminal organizations. Secrets from the past and present collide along the perilous shuttle between Boston and Romania. In the end, what is the righteous solution?

La masacre de Kruguer
by Luciano LambertiEn un formato que mezcla entrevistas documentales con recreación ficcional, Lamberti presenta la historia de una pesadilla que se aproxima lentamente para mostrarse al fin con todo su horror y su locura. En el pequeño pueblo de montaña de Kruguer cada 26 de junio se realiza la Fiesta de la Nieve: ante la atenta mirada de los turistas, la comunidad se reúne en la plaza a disfrutar bailes típicos, asado de cordero, muestras gratis de chocolate y ríos de cerveza alemana. Los negocios se llenan y la recaudación sirve para aguardar la llegada del verano. Pero en la celebración del año 1987 algo sucede, algo que venían sospechando desde los pueblos vecinos: el asesinato de casi la totalidad de la población. La crítica ha dicho... «No solo es inteligente para armar una historia, Luciano Lamberti también es sensible y salvaje, como la literatura que nos gusta leer y vivir. O bueno, tal vez no tanto vivir».Mariano Quirós «La -por ahora- trilogía de El asesino, El loro y La casa de los eucaliptus condensa, con sus diferencias de estilo y recursos, un cúmulo de historias tan nacionales como a Borges le gustaría, es decir, historias universales».Sebastián Rodríguez Mora, revista Crisis «Luciano Lamberti es un escritor sorprendente: puede ser aterrador, como en La casa de los eucaliptos, o encarnar el espíritu de una época y una generación en El asesino de chanchos o inquietar con una novela anómala en la literatura contemporánea argentina como La maestra rural. Cada uno de sus libros es, para mí, un acontecimiento».Mariana Enriquez
