The Cellar
by Natasha Preston"Lily?" My stomach dropped as a tall, dark-haired man stepped into view. Had he been hiding between the trees? "No. Sorry." Gulping, I took a step back. "I'm not Lily." He shook his head, a satisfied grin on his face. "No. You are Lily." "I'm Summer. You have the wrong person." You utter freak! I could hear my pulse crashing in my ears. How stupid to give him my real name. He continued to stare at me, smiling. It made me feel sick. "You are Lily," he repeated. Before I could blink, he threw his arms forward and grabbed me. I tried to shout, but he clasped his hand over my mouth, muffling my screams. My heart raced. I'm going to die. For months Summer is trapped in a cellar with the man who took her--and three other girls: Rose, Poppy, and Violet. His perfect, pure flowers. His family. But flowers can't survive long cut off from the sun, and time is running out...
The Cellar: A Novel
by Minette WaltersChilling psychological suspense with “exceptional punch” from the Edgar Award–winning author of The Dark Room (Kirkus Reviews, starred). It seems like a respectable British home, occupied by the Songolis, an upstanding family of African immigrants. But hidden within the cellar is Muna—a teenage girl who cooks for them, cleans for them, endures brutal abuse from them . . . and is powerless to escape. Then one day, the Songolis’ ten-year-old son fails to come home from school, and Scotland Yard arrives at the house to investigate. While they look into the boy’s disappearance, Muna must play the role of beloved daughter. She suddenly has a real bedroom, with sunlight, and real clothing to wear. But she must continue to keep quiet—and hide the fact that she has learned how to speak English. Even as the police are watching, her secret life of enslavement goes on. But Muna is hatching a plan—and her acts of rebellion and revenge will be more terrifying than this family could have imagined—in this dark, twisting tale that represents “contemporary crime writing at its absolute peak” (Val McDermid).
The Cellist: A Novel (Gabriel Allon #21)
by Daniel Silva#1 New York Times Bestseller“The pace of “The Cellist” never slackens as its action volleys from Zurich to Tel Aviv to Paris and beyond. Mr. Silva tells his story with zest, wit and superb timing, and he engineers enough surprises to startle even the most attentive reader.“—Wall Street JournalFrom Daniel Silva, the internationally acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author, comes a timely and explosive new thriller featuring art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon. Viktor Orlov had a longstanding appointment with death. Once Russia’s richest man, he now resides in splendid exile in London, where he has waged a tireless crusade against the authoritarian kleptocrats who have seized control of the Kremlin. His mansion in Chelsea’s exclusive Cheyne Walk is one of the most heavily protected private dwellings in London. Yet somehow, on a rainy summer evening, in the midst of a global pandemic, Russia’s vengeful president finally manages to cross Orlov’s name off his kill list.Before him was the receiver from his landline telephone, a half-drunk glass of red wine, and a stack of documents.…The documents are contaminated with a deadly nerve agent. The Metropolitan Police determine that they were delivered to Orlov’s home by one of his employees, a prominent investigative reporter from the anti-Kremlin Moskovskaya Gazeta. And when the reporter slips from London hours after the killing, MI6 concludes she is a Moscow Center assassin who has cunningly penetrated Orlov’s formidable defenses.But Gabriel Allon, who owes his very life to Viktor Orlov, believes his friends in British intelligence are dangerously mistaken. His desperate search for the truth will take him from London to Amsterdam and eventually to Geneva, where a private intelligence service controlled by a childhood friend of the Russian president is using KGB-style “active measures” to undermine the West from within. Known as the Haydn Group, the unit is plotting an unspeakable act of violence that will plunge an already divided America into chaos and leave Russia unchallenged. Only Gabriel Allon, with the help of a brilliant young woman employed by the world’s dirtiest bank, can stop it.Elegant and sophisticated, provocative and daring, The Cellist explores one of the preeminent threats facing the West today—the corrupting influence of dirty money wielded by a revanchist and reckless Russia. It is at once a novel of hope and a stark warning about the fragile state of democracy. And it proves once again why Daniel Silva is regarded as his generation’s finest writer of suspense and international intrigue.

Cem anos de perdão
by João TordoDepois de Águas passadas, a dupla Pilar Benamor e Cícero Gusmão regressa para um novo mistério de matizes bizarros. «O mal não está lá fora, está dentro de nós.» Na pequena e remota ilha de St Dismas, ao largo da Inglaterra, um crime violentíssimo entre irmãos choca a comunidade, trazendo à superfície o mal- -estar entre os ilhéus e os Filhos de Dismas, uma seita religiosa que perdura há séculos. A Polícia local vê-se a braços com um caso que parece impossível de resolver, com a investigação travada pelo obscuro fanatismo dos crentes. Max Loar, o homicida confesso, acaba na prisão de Brixton, enquanto ondas de choque repercutem na imprensa do Reino Unido perante a brutalidade do crime. É na cadeia que conhece Cícero, que está preso por homicídio. Apesar dos esforços de Cícero para compreender o rapaz, as coisas acabam mal. Pouco depois, recebe a visita de Pilar Benamor, a jovem ex-subcomissária da PSP que, desde a violenta resolução do caso Drexler em Águas passadas, desapareceu do mundo. No reencontro com o velho amigo, Pilar recebe a resposta aos seus sonhos premonitórios e não resiste a mergulhar de cabeça na história dos irmãos Loar, rumando à ilha — um lugar enigmático, pleno de forças malignas. Sobre a obra de João Tordo «João Tordo tem uma capacidade enorme de efabulação que não se encontra facilmente.» José Saramago «Tal como o Nobel José Saramago, João Tordo põe em questão, com o seu talento, a crença numa identidade própria à qual nós, os humanos, estamos apegados.» Le Monde «Um romance que se abre em escuridão e labareda, para que nos vejamos ao espelho.» José Tolentino Mendonça (sobre O luto de Elias Gro) «Uma escrita vibrante, capaz de momentos de grande intensidade expressiva ou de inesperado lirismo.» José Mário Silva, Expresso (sobre O luto de Elias Gro) «Há-de guardar lugar próprio e intransmissível entre as melhores obras da literatura portuguesa contemporânea.» João Gobern, Diário de Notícias (sobre O luto de Elias Gro) «Tordo não dá respostas. Alimenta cuidadosamente a ambiguidade, o paradoxo, como se fizessem parte de um silêncio cujo mistério não quer desvendar.» Isabel Lucas, Público (sobre O Paraíso segundo Lars D.) «João Tordo cria dois palcos contíguos, que equilibra entre o atrevimento cruel que o realismo comanda e o clima introspectivo que dele resulta, conjugados com particular desenvoltura e absoluta eficácia.» Lídia Jorge (sobre O deslumbre de Cecilia Fluss) «Um romance extraordinário, que se lê à transparência de um talento mais do que confirmado, porventura único entre nós, na primeira linha das vozes literárias da geração a que pertence.» João de Melo (sobre O deslumbre de Cecilia Fluss) «Uma narrativa com um cunho muito próprio e um dos registos mais pessoais e intensos desta geração.» João Céu e Silva, Diário de Notícias (sobre Ensina-me a voar sobre os telhados) «Um romance poderoso, inquietante e profundamente lírico.» Helena Vasconcelos, Público (sobre Ensina-me a voar sobre os telhados)

El cementerio de Praga
by Umberto EcoTreinta años después de publicar El nombre de la rosa, Umberto Umberto Eco vuelve para mostrarnos que, en la literatura y en la vida, nada es lo que parece y nadie es quien realmente dice ser.
