Alan Furst's Classic Spy Novels 3-Book Bundle
by Alan FurstFrom Alan Furst, often compared to John le Carré, Graham Greene, and Eric Ambler, and praised as the best spy novelist ever, a trio of his classic works Furst, known for panoramic vision, deep authenticity, and a magnificent eye for historical detail, always sets his novels in the twilight world of Europe in the 1930s and first years of World War II, when the British, Russian, German, and many other spy services fought it out in the alleys and grand hotels of Paris, Berlin, and other cities on the Continent. The three classic spy novels in this "read all night" eBook bundle will transport you to the dark conflict between fascists, communists, and the people who fought back against them. Includes a preview of Alan Furst's new novel, Mission to Paris--with movie stars, elite spies, and German political warfare--on sale in June. "The writing in Mission to Paris, sentence after sentence, page after page, is dazzling. If you are a John le Carré fan, this is definitely a novel for you."--James Patterson "I am a huge fan of Alan Furst. Furst is the best in the business--the most talented espionage novelist of our generation."--Vince Flynn NIGHT SOLDIERS Bulgaria, 1934. A young man is murdered by the local fascists. His brother, Khristo Stoianev, is recruited into the NKVD, the Soviet secret intelligence service, and sent to Spain to serve in its civil war. Warned that he is about to become a victim of Stalin's purges, Khristo flees to Paris. Night Soldiers masterfully re-creates the European world of 1934-35: the struggle between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia for Eastern Europe, the last desperate gaiety of the beau monde in 1937 Paris, and guerrilla operations with the French underground in 1944. Night Soldiers is a scrupulously researched panoramic novel, a work on a grand scale. THE WORLD AT NIGHT Paris, 1940. The civilized, upper-class life of film producer Jean Casson is derailed by the German occupation of Paris, but Casson learns that with enough money, compromise, and connections, one need not deny oneself the pleasures of Parisian life. Somewhere inside Casson, though, is a stubborn romantic streak. When he's offered the chance to take part in an operation of the British secret service, this idealism gives him the courage to say yes. A simple mission, but it goes wrong, and Casson realizes that he must gamble everything--his career, the woman he loves, life itself. Here is a brilliant re-creation of France--its spirit in the moment of defeat, its valor in the moment of rebirth. KINGDOM OF SHADOWS Paris, 1938. As Europe edges toward war, Nicholas Morath, an urbane former cavalry officer, spends his days working at the small advertising agency he owns and his nights in the bohemian circles of his Argentine mistress. But Morath has been recruited by his uncle, Count Janos Polanyi, a diplomat in the Hungarian legation, for operations against Hitler's Germany. It is Morath who does Polanyi's clandestine work, moving between the beach cafés of Juan-les-Pins and the forests of Ruthenia, from Czech fortresses in the Sudetenland to the private gardens of the déclassé royalty in Budapest. The web Polanyi spins for Morath is deep and complex and pits him against German intelligence officers, NKVD renegades, and Croat assassins in a shadow war of treachery and uncertain loyalties, a war that Hungary cannot afford to lose. Alan Furst is frequently compared with Eric Ambler, Graham Greene, and John le Carré, but Kingdom of Shadows is distinctive and entirely original. It is Furst at his very best.

Las alas de la esfinge: Montalbano - Libro 15 (Salvo Montalbano #Volumen 15)
by Andrea CamilleriLlega la decimoquinta aventura del comisario Montalbano. Camilleri dibuja con finísimo detalle los desvelos íntimos de su famoso personaje, que en pleno debate amoroso y existencial se desdobla en un afilado diálogo consigo mismo. Después de lo acaecido en Ardores de agosto, la relación entre Montalbano y Livia ha dado un giro tan pronunciado que Salvo se encuentra sumido en un mar de dudas, presa de un profundo desasosiego que el paso del tiempo no parece sino agravar. En tal estado de ánimo se encuentra el comisario cuando una llamada de Catarella lo obliga a zambullirse en la investigación de un crimen. Ha aparecido el cadáver desnudo de una joven, y la única pista sobre su identidad es un tatuaje en la espalda que representa una pequeña esfinge, una mariposa nocturna. Cuando la imagen se difunde por televisión, Montalbano y sus ayudantes irán tirando de un hilo que los conducirá hasta La Buena Voluntad, una asociación benéfica respaldada por importantes personajes cuya aparente misión es redimir a chicas de la calle y guiarlas por el buen camino. Sin embargo, al comisario más famoso de Italia las buenas intenciones de la dichosa asociación enseguida le huelen a estiércol, cosa que irremediablemente lo mete en un buen lío cuando su jefe le recrimina andar investigando a personalidades intachables. Pero el olfato de Montalbano puede más que la flagrante incompetencia de sus superiores, lo que lo llevará a vérselas con nuevas y crueles manifestaciones del crimen organizado. Con mano maestra, Andrea Camilleri sigue dibujando con trazo fino los desvelos de su famoso personaje, en pleno debate amoroso y existencial. Sus teatrales excesos y geniales estrategias para sonsacar información forman parte de su persona tanto como su sabiduría de zorro viejo, su sentido del humor o su golosa sensualidad. Aunque parezca difícil, con cada nueva entrega de la serie Montalbano se supera a sí misma. Reseña:«Camilleri ha sabido ocupar un vacío endémico en la literatura italiana contemporánea, el de una narrativa de entretenimiento de alto nivel que favorezca el placer de la lectura sin recurrir a lo banal ni a lo simple.»L'Espresso

Alaska Fish Wars: Nobody Wins
by Ron WaldenViolent incidents on the Kenai River and on commercial fishing grounds of Cook Inlet prompted Trooper, Andy Biggs, to contact State Senator Price in an attempt to change fishing regulations causing harsh attitudes leading to violence. The good senator formed a panel composed of commercial fishermen, sports fisherman, subsistence users, fish and game biologists and regulators, sport fishing guides and other special interest group leaders to hold hearings on the matter. Outside interests, meaning non-Alaskans, pay protesters to disrupt the hearings. Every faction of Alaska's fishing industry has strong, self-serving, opinions, and a personal stake, in the issues being considered by the panel; which leads to even more violent incidents. Several state politicians involve themselves in the argument and are paid for their votes by cannery owners rejecting the proposed changes. Alaska Fish Wars is fictional, but the conflicts are real and have raged for more than sixty years—and continue today. Alaska Fish Wars is an insight into the arguments nobody wins—especially the resource.
