Celebrity in Death (In Death #34)
by J. D. Robb#1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb knows that some roles are to die for... Lieutenant Eve Dallas is no party girl, but she's managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating The Icove Agenda, a film based on one of her famous cases. It's a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks as though she could be her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing the actress who plays Peabody--drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director's luxury building. Talented but rude and widely disliked, K.T. Harris made an embarrassing scene during dinner. Now she's at the center of a crime scene--and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster to step into the role she was born to play: cop.

by Thomas ThompsonNew York Times Bestseller: Three former friends bound by ambition, fame, and a dark secret reunite in this spellbinding saga from the author of Blood and Money. They were the princes of their high school in Fort Worth, Texas. Valedictorian Kleber Cantrell became a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who befriended the famous and exposed the notorious. Mack Crawford, teenage Adonis and University of Texas football hero, used his good looks to jumpstart an acting career. And T.J. Luther, voted &“most popular&” by the senior class, fell into a lurid life of crime but found God in prison and reinvented himself as the nation&’s leading right-wing televangelist, his message of faith masking an all-consuming desire for power and revenge. The different routes Kleber, Mack, and T.J. took to celebrity share common signposts: personal upheavals, ruinous marriages, petty jealousies, and blind ambition. Now, on the eve of their twenty-fifth high school reunion, their separate paths will cross to devastating effect—because these three friends have something else in common. It happened in an isolated cabin in the Texas woods on the night they graduated. They vowed never to speak of it again, but they always knew there would be a terrible price to pay . . . A unique blend of fiction and autobiography, Celebrity is an &“enthralling&” tale of suspense from an Edgar Award–winning author whose journalism career gave him a front-row seat to the tumultuous lives of the rich and famous (TheBoston Globe). A six-month national bestseller, it was the basis for a television miniseries starring Ned Beatty, Hal Holbrook, and James Whitmore

But Glory is heating up and life for Celeste and her sisters is coming up to crunch time. They need her back. And she’s come back – on her terms. The three sisters must unite to fight the secret enemy in their midst and to preserve their way of life. That means Celeste must make peace with herself and Matt – before it’s too late.

Cell 8
by Anders Roslund Borge Hellstrom Kari DicksonThe best-selling and award-winning journalist Anders Roslund and ex-criminal Borge Hellstrom are Sweden's most acclaimed fiction duo. Roslund and Hellstrom combine inside knowledge of the brutal reality of criminal life with searing social criticism in complex, intelligent plots, propelling them to the forefront of the recent Scandinavian crime fiction sensation and winning them numerous awards, like the prestigious CWA International Dagger.

A cheap crooner by the name of John Schwarz earns his keep on a ferry between Sweden and Finland singing evergreens for drunken passengers. One night, he loses his temper with a man harassing women in the crowd, beating him unconscious. As drunken brawls are commonplace on the Baltic cruising ferries, no one raises an eyebrow. No one, that is, but Detective Ewert Grens. Concerned by the details of the case report, Grens can't help but think someone capable of such violence must have a history of it. Suspicion turns to shock when Grens discovers that John Schwarz is not who he says he is, but instead John Meyer Frey--an American citizen from Marcusville, Ohio; shock because John Meyer Frey died on Death Row the previous year. This mystery initiates the most remarkable criminal investigation of Grens's career, the reverberations of which will reach the highest tier of international politics, and blow the worldwide debate on the death penalty wide open.From the Paperback edition.

by Alex ArcherA sword, a stone and a deadly legacy... The theft of a whetstone from a Welsh museum and the murder of a curate during a grave robbery seem, at first, like random crimes. But the troubling deeds are linked by a precarious thread. An unusual collection of rare and scattered British antiquities has become a target-and the relics' value lies in something much more dangerous than money.... Annja Creed, archaeologist and host of television's Chasing History's Monsters, is in the U.K. when her mentor, Roux, interrupts her sojourn with news of the thefts. He's certain that the thirteen Treasures of Britain are wanted for their rumored power.

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)
