Danse Macabre (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Novels)
by Laurell K. Hamilton'It was the middle of November, I was supposed to be out jogging, but instead I was sitting at my breakfast table talking about men, sex, werewolves and vampires. I should be concentrating on my dangerous situation - the ardeur between me and Jean-Claude, Master Vampire of the City, and Richard, my werewolf lover, is reaching new levels, evolving into something altogether new, acting with a will of its own.'But instead Anita Blake, preternatural expert and feared executioner, is less interested in vampire politics than in the ancient, ordinary dread that women down the ages have experienced: am I pregnant? And, if so, is the father a vampire, a werewolf or someone else entirely. And being a Federal Marshall, known for raising the dead and hunting vampires, is no way to bring up a baby.
The Dante Chamber
by Matthew PearlMemories, fears, the fog of nightmares...Five years after a series of Dante-inspired killings stunned Boston, a politician is found in a London park with his neck crushed by an enormous stone device etched with a verse from the Divine Comedy. When other shocking deaths erupt across the city, all in the style of the penances Dante memorialized in Purgatory, poet Christina Rossetti fears her missing brother, the artist and writer Dante Gabriel Rossetti, will be the next victim. The unwavering Christina enlists poets Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson, and Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes to decipher the literary clues, and together these unlikely investigators unravel the secrets of Dante’s verses to find Gabriel and stop the killings. Racing between the shimmering mansions of the elite and the seedy corners of London’s underworld, they descend further into the mystery. But when the true inspiration behind the gruesome murders is finally revealed, Christina must confront a more profound terror than anyone had imagined. A dazzling tale of intrigue from the writer Library Journal calls “the reigning king of popular literary historical thrillers,” The Dante Chamber is a riveting journey across London and into both the beauty and darkness of Dante. Expertly blending fact and fiction, Pearl gives us a historical mystery like no other that captivates and surprises until the last page.
The Dante Club
by Matthew PearlWords can bleed. In 1865 Boston, the literary geniuses of the Dante Club-—poets and Harvard professors Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, and James Russell Lowell, along with publisher J. T. Fields-—are finishing America’s first translation of The Divine Comedy and preparing to unveil Dante’s remarkable visions to the New World. The powerful Boston Brahmins at Harvard College are fighting to keep Dante in obscurity, believing that the infiltration of foreign superstitions into American minds will prove as corrupting as the immigrants arriving at Boston Harbor. The members of the Dante Club fight to keep a sacred literary cause alive, but their plans fall apart when a series of murders erupts through Boston and Cambridge. Only this small group of scholars realizes that the gruesome killings are modeled on the descriptions of Hell’s punishments from Dante’s Inferno. With the lives of the Boston elite and Dante’s literary future in America at stake, the Dante Club members must find the killer before the authorities discover their secret. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and an outcast police officer named Nicholas Rey, the first black member of the Boston police department, must place their careers on the line to end the terror. Together, they discover that the source of the murders lies closer to home than they ever could have imagined. The Dante Club is a magnificent blend of fact and fiction, a brilliantly realized paean to Dante’s continued grip on our imagination, and a captivating thriller that will surprise readers from beginning to end.

Dante's Dilemma: A Mark Angelotti Novel (Mark Angelotti)
by Lynne RaimondoBlind psychiatrist Mark Angelotti is faced with his most troubling case yet when he is asked to evaluate Rachel Lazarus, the estranged wife of a slain University of Chicago professor. Months earlier, the professor's body was found stuffed into one of the exhibits at "Scav," the school's world-famous annual scavenger hunt, and - in a feast for the press - missing a vital piece of its anatomy. Though she's confessed to her husband's murder, Rachel is mounting a battered woman's defense. Forced into helping the prosecution, Mark becomes unsure of his objectivity when his investigation uncovers uncomfortable parallels between Rachel's history and his own. That concern proves well-founded when his damaging admission at trial all but convicts Rachel. Then a tip connects the case to another suspected murder and evidence that Rachel may not be guilty after all. As he plows ahead during a brutal Chicago winter, Mark soon learns he has far more to worry about than treacherous snow and ice: someone will do anything to guarantee that Rachel takes the fall.

Who is Yosef Kobinski, and why did God hide his name in His sacred text? To find the answers, Aharon begins an investigation, and discovers that Kobinski, a Polish rabbi, was not only a mystic but also a brilliant physicist who authored what may be the most important lost work in human history.

Dantes' Inferno: A Dr. Sylvia Strange Novel
by Sarah LovettThe author of the critically acclaimed novels Dangerous Attachments and Acquired Motives is back with another spellbindingly original thriller featuring forensic psychiatrist Sylvia Strange. Now, in Dantes' Inferno, Sylvia is called to Los Angeles from her New Mexico home when a massive explosion blasts through the J. Paul Getty Museum, endangering children on a field trip and claiming two lives. The police peg notorious bomber John Dantes as the mastermind, even though he's in a maximum-security prison, serving a life sentence for another bombing he claims he didn't commit. Dr. Strange, a genius at accessing the most tortured psychiatric cases, is called in to evaluate Dantes. The prisoner is said to be unreachable -- and renowned for psychologically terrorizing his every visitor. But Dr. Strange forms a sudden, and unsettling, connection with Dantes. There's something about the enigmatic loner and his obsession with Los Angeles that both confounds and unnerves her. She's not at all convinced he's the man behind the bombs now ripping through the city -- but she is convinced he holds the key to finding the real bomber. The problem remains: how to get at Dantes? The police department's drug-and-interrogation campaign effectively stupefies the patient, and Dr. Strange's inability to "get results" troubles her deeply pragmatic supervisor, who in turn challenges her approach, her ability, and her intuition. As the death toll rises, so does public outcry, and sanctions against the fully demonized prisoner are further tightened. With the clock ticking on a bomb promised to be of epic proportions, Dr. Strange's sovereignty over her patient is slipping away -- along with, seemingly, her sanity. Dantes' Inferno is a hypnotic, heart-pounding journey to the soul of madness that reveals disturbing and darkly universal truths about human nature. It is Sarah Lovett's best thriller yet.

La danza de la gaviota (Salvo Montalbano #Volumen 19)
by Andrea CamilleriEsta nueva entrega, en la que se investiga un nuevo caso de crimen mafioso, es, según el autor, la segunda novela de la serie que ha sido inspirada por un recorte de periódico. Una novela en la que veremos a un Montalbano cada vez más angustiado por la vejez y el paso del tiempo. El insomnio ha vuelto a sacar al comisario Montalbano de la cama. Al amanecer, con una taza de café en la mano, sale a la terraza para contemplar el mar y asiste a un solitario y lúgubre espectáculo. En la arena, una gaviota enferma, o quizá herida, parece ejecutar los pasos de una extraña coreografía antes de caer fulminada, como si la vida se resistiera a abandonar su cuerpo para siempre. La visión, que tiene la misma naturaleza fúnebre e insidiosa que en casos anteriores, enturbia la mente del comisario como una niebla espesa. Livia está en Vigàta y Montalbano y ella tienen previsto disfrutar juntos de unas vacaciones. Pero nada saldrá como planeaban, pues Fazio, la inestimable mano derecha de Montalbano, ha desaparecido. No ha vuelto a casa y su teléfono está desconectado. Se lo vio por última vez junto a una zona llena de pozos en desuso, y Montalbano y sus compañeros se temen lo peor. La imagen de su querido Fazio herido, o quizá muerto, en el fondo de un oscuro pozo los aterroriza y no repararán en esfuerzos para encontrarlo. En otro sutil toque de humor de su genial creador, los acontecimientos de La danza de la gaviota transcurren cerca del lugar donde se está rodando un episodio de la famosa teleserie sobre Montalbano. Por supuesto, el comisario evita a toda costa cruzarse con el actor que lo interpreta, que es mucho más joven y atractivo, aunque difícilmente tan irresistible para las mujeres... Reseña:«Escrita con la habitual maestría [...] esta nueva novela se lee con un placer amargo, pues el malestar de Montalbano no deja de ser la proyección de un fenómeno social generalizado.»Il Mattino
La danza de los tulipanes
by Ibon MartínLa flor más bella puede inspirar los crímenes más atroces. Un thriller perfecto que consagra a Ibon Martín como el maestro vasco del suspense. La periodista más popular de Gernika es arrollada por el tren que cubre la línea de Urdaibai. La víctima ha sido fijada a la vía con un delicado tulipán entre sus manos. La flor, de un intenso y brillante rojo, es tan hermosa como difícil de encontrar en pleno otoño. La escena, cuidadosamente preparada, ha sido retransmitida en directo a través de Facebook. La danza de los tulipanes nos sumerge en la ría de Urdaibai, un lugar mágico donde el mar y la tierra se abrazan al compás de las mareas que mecen las tranquilas vidas de sus habitantes, que se ven repentinamente sacudidas por la brutal irrupción de un asesino complejo e inteligente, capaz de rivalizar con los ritmos de la naturaleza que desde siempre han gobernado la comarca. _____________ «El albornoz cae en las escaleras talladas en la roca.

Quizás sea porque los escenarios sobre los que trabaja Ibon Martín están siempre localizados en el País Vasco, un lugar que me alucina y me emociona a partes iguales, quizás sea porque su trabajo con los personajes es excepcional, o quizás porque la trama es muy buena, no lo sé, pero lo que sí os puedo asegurar es que todas estas premisas, unidas en una prosa en la que se funden de una manera sublime paisajes e intimidades, han dado como resultado unas escenas tan evocadoras que se cuelan hasta el fondo del alma, de forma que leer La Danza de los Tulipanes ha supuesto un placer para todos los sentidos.» Qué bello es leer «La Danza de los Tulipanes es un vertiginoso viaje criminal, quince días intensos durante los que vamos a conocer geografía ambiental y humana.

[...] Conseguir que armonicen de tal modo personajes y escenarios como para que nada chirríe y permita al lector entrar de pleno en la historia olvidando que está ante una representación resulta una experiencia maravillosa.»Jordi Valero, Interrobang «La Danza de los Tulipanes es un thriller sobresaliente que engancha desde la primera página. Un misterio, un asesino en serie, unos personajes muy carismáticos y una trama muy bien hilada, dura y sobrecogedora.»Blog Sueños entre letras «La Danza de los Tulipanes es una novela que necesitaba mucho aunque no lo supiera [...] hacía tiempo que no leía un thriller que me gustase tanto, que me hiciera pensar.
