Los 3 primeros casos del inspector Mascarell: Cuatro días de enero | Siete días de julio | Cinco días de octubre

Empieza a leer Los 3 primeros casos del inspector Mascarell:Cuatro días de eneroSiete días de julioCinco días de octubre Este pack incluye los siguientes tres ebooks: CUATRO DÍAS DE ENERO En pleno caos previo a la inminente entrada de los nacionales en Barcelona, el inspector Mascarell afrontará el caso de la misteriosa desaparición de una joven. Aunque todo está perdido, el inspector pretende llegar hasta el fondo del asunto, pero se topará con las altas esferas de la ciudad, que están preparando la llegada de los vencedores... Un intenso retrato de una Barcelona hambrienta, triste y aterrorizada, y una hermosa historia de amor en medio de la desolación. SIETE DÍAS DE JULIO 1947. Miquel Mascarell, el último policía de la Barcelona republicana, sale en libertad. De vuelta a casa, a una ciudad casi irreconocible en la que ya no tiene nada ni le queda nadie, recibe un misterioso sobre con una fotografía, dinero y una dirección que su instinto de policía no puede ignorar. A lo largo de una semana descubrirá los nuevos caminos que la dictadura está entretejiendo en Barcelona y en España: el estraperlo y sus grandes riquezas floreciendo entre los vencedores; el hambre y la miseria sepultando todavía a los vencidos. Con una fiel y detallada recreación del ambiente de la ciudad y la época, Siete días de julio nos habla de la condición humana llevada al límite, y también de su resistencia y su eterna esperanza. CINCO DÍAS DE OCTUBRE 1948. Miquel Mascarell ha rehecho su vida al lado de Patro, la joven a quien ya ha salvado dos veces. La visita de un hombre temible y su extraño encargo, buscar la tumba de su sobrino muerto el 18 de julio del 36, volverá a poner al viejo inspector en el disparadero, enfrentado a sus fantasmas, su supervivencia y moviéndose por una ciudad extraña que vive la posguerra en busca de un nuevo futuro. En esos mismos días, en Madrid, un consejo de guerra juzga al grupo de los 80, los maquis que siguen la lucha contra la dictadura. ¿Qué secreto esconde el cadáver de aquel joven cuya tumba busca Mascarell, en un cara y cruz con la vida y la muerte, doce años después y sin testigos vivos de aquel incidente? Ambientada con exactitud y precisión en la España de su tiempo, Cinco días de octubre es una novela que nos hace retroceder al pasado para comprender, quizá, nuestro presente y la forma en qué sobrevivimos.

3 Quarters: A Novel

Beginning his search for the truth at a shady security firm that employs able-bodied ex-cops, all of whom have mysteriously qualified for medical pensions—equal to a cool three-quarters of their salaries—he stumbles upon a startling discovery: the cremated remains that led to his conviction didn't really belong to Dorothea. <P><P> Bobby has a few allies: his policeman brother, his hacker daughter, his flamboyantly unprincipled lawyer, a cop or two who stood by him through the trial. But the same forces that landed him in jail more than a year before are putting a smothering squeeze on him now—and all roads lead to a powerful politician who will let nothing get between himself and the governor's mansion. As the struggle to find the truth—and Dorothea—intensifies, Bobby begins to suspect that those around him are not as loyal as they appear. His liberty and very life depend on whether or not he can discover how high—and how near—the conspiracy goes before the trap closes on him. At once lyrical and riveting, Three Quarters crackles in its electric setting, reverberating with a "relentless energy" (Lawrence Block) fueled by Hamill's intimate knowledge of and intense passion for New York City.
