On the day the discovery of this body is leaked to the press, Alex gets a call that the silk stocking rapist has struck again, this time fatally. Or has he? The m.o. isn't precisely the same as the others, and it transpires that the victim worked in Poe's old house in 1978. Are the cases linked or is someone trying to silence possible witness to a thirty-five-year-old murder? With consummate skill, Linda Fairstein has created an outstanding crime novel, layered with the history of New York, the roller-coaster everyday life of a prosecutor and culminating with a surprising but satisfying denouement.

Entombed: Six Men Buried Alive for Over Six Years
by Tony MatthewsWhat would it be like to be trapped deep underground for six long years with no hope of rescue or escape? This is a profound question explored deeply in Entombed. And the key point here is that Entombed is inspired by an astonishing true story and real events. Six German soldiers led by Captain Hans von Roth are accidentally buried alive in a vast subterranean stores bunker at the port of Gdynia, Poland, in 1945. At first they believe they will soon be rescued, but as the weeks drag into years it becomes appallingly clear that the men will almost certainly face a terrifying death in the grim darkness that surrounds them. Meanwhile, in Berlin, Hans von Roth&’s wife, Erika, is desperately attempting to survive the fall of the city and the Russian hordes destined shortly to occupy it. Facing starvation, massive aerial bombing, Soviet shelling and a host of other dangers, she is also attempting to discover what has become of her lost husband. In Entombed, the author has woven a tale of great love and a desperate struggle for survival like no other. The story literally pushes all the frontiers of human frailty and courage to their very edges.

A través del juicio por difamación se narra la seductora vida del corsario Henry Morgan (1635- 1688), desde sus orígenes humildes en Llanrumney, país de Gales, hasta su ascenso a sir del Reino de Inglaterra, gracias a sus batallas en contra de la Corona española, escenificadas principalmente en el mar Caribe –Yucatán, Honduras, Nicaragua, Maracaibo, Portobelo– y, en especial, la toma y saqueo de Panamá en el Pacífico.

Después del éxito de El mentiroso y En plena noche, llega el esperado cierre de la «Trilogía de Illumbe»: un thriller magistral, lleno de misterios y giros sorprendentes cuya clave podría estar en la pregunta que late en el alma de esta historia: ¿es posible enterrar un secreto para siempre?Hay muertos que nunca descansan, y tal vez no deban hacerlo hasta que se les haga justicia.

Estos son los ingredientes de una investigación que se irá complicando página tras página y en la que Arruti, tal como descubrirán pronto los lectores, será mucho más que la agente encargada del caso.

La entrega
by Dennis LehaneDennis Lehane regresa a los ambientes de Mystic River con una novela de gran concisión y sustancia, otra lección narrativa magistral que hunde sus raíces en la mejor tradición estadounidense del género negro. Bob Saginowski lleva dos décadas tras la barra del Cousin Marv#s, un antro de fieles parroquianos situado en un barrio obrero de Boston que la mafia local utiliza como punto de encuentro para sus negocios. Taciturno y solitario, Bob acude todas las mañanas a la iglesia de Saint Dominic en busca de respuestas a sus problemas de fe. Dos días después de Navidad, su monótona existencia da un giro inesperado cuando, de regreso a casa, rescata de un cubo de basura a un cachorro maltratado y conoce a Nadia, una mujer sensible con una enigmática cicatriz en la garganta. Sin embargo, lejos de augurar tiempos mejores, el doble encuentro es solo el preludio de graves apuros: el bar sufre un atraco a mano armada, el inspector Evandro Torres indaga en el asunto, y las bandas rivales entran en acción. Aunque sin duda lo peor es la aparición de Eric Deeds, un ex convicto psicópata que reclama la propiedad tanto del perro como de Nadia, cosa que Bob, que casi a su pesar se ha encariñado de ambos, no está dispuesto a concederle. Así, lo que había comenzado como un cuento navideño deriva gradualmente hacia una violenta pesadilla. Reseñas:«Una novela breve, intensa y descarada.»Publishers Weekly «Lehane es uno de los grandes de la ficción criminal contemporánea.»Daily Mail «Dennis posee un sentido de la historia y del diálogo que para Hollywood es como una droga.

Now Peter May takes us to a small island off the coast of Québec with an emotionally charged new mystery.When a murder rocks the isolated community of Entry Island, insomniac homicide detective Sime Mackenzie boards a light aircraft at St. Hubert airfield bound for the small, scattered chain of Madeline Islands, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, as part of an eight-officer investigation team from Montréal. Only two kilometers wide and three long, Entry Island is home to a population of just more than 100 inhabitants, the wealthiest of whom has just been discovered murdered in his home. Covered in her husband's blood, the dead man's melancholy wife spins a tale for the police about a masked intruder armed with a knife.The investigation appears to be little more than a formality--the evidence points to a crime of passion, implicating the wife. But Sime is electrified by the widow during his interview, convinced that he has met her before, even though this is clearly impossible. Haunted by this strange certainty, Sime's insomnia is punctuated by vivid, hallucinatory dreams of a distant past on a Scottish island 3,000 miles away, dreams in which he and the widow play leading roles. Sime's conviction soon becomes an obsession. And despite mounting evidence of the woman's guilt, he finds himself convinced of her innocence, leading to a conflict between the professional duty he must fulfill and the personal destiny he is increasingly sure awaits him.

Entry Island
by Peter MayDonde el destino espera. Un detective se siente perseguido por la sensación de que conoce a su sospechoso de asesinato, a pesar de que nunca se han conocido... Como un vigilante diminuto enfrentado a la violencia de un océano inclemente, Entry Island es la primera isla que se encuentran los navíos que acceden al golfo de San Lorenzo. Azotado por el viento y bañado por las aguas heladas, el minúsculo pedrusco apenas alberga a una centena de habitantes que viven de la pesca; gente curtida y tenaz, acostumbrada a soportar la rudeza de los elementos y las situaciones más extremas. Excepto el asesinato. Cuando la persona más rica de la isla, un comerciante de langostas llamado James Cowell, aparece muerta, el desconcierto se apodera de la pequeña comunidad, y pronto todas las sospechas recaen en Kirsty, la esposa de la víctima. Asignado a la investigación del crimen, acude desde Montreal el detective Sime Mackenzie, a quien el cambio de aires se le antoja saludable en un momento crítico de su vida en el que se siente acuciado por la soledad y la mala conciencia. Por desgracia, su ilusión se desvanece en cuanto pone un pie en la isla y se encuentra con su ex mujer, analista forense, que le recuerda de inmediato por qué su relación acabó en un agrio intercambio de reproches. Pero lo más inquietante, sin duda, es su encuentro con Kirsty, a quien cree reconocer del pasado. Mientras la mayoría de las pruebas apuntan hacia la viuda del comerciante, y el equipo de investigadores se muestra ansioso por cerrar el caso para poder abandonar ese lugar tan inhóspito, Sime está convencido de la inocencia de la mujer. Defenderla, sin embargo, le planteará un espinoso conflicto moral. La crítica ha dicho...«Un escritor al que seguiría hasta los confines de la Tierra.»The New York Times «Tras lasoberbia #The Lewis Trilogy#, May ofrece un trabajo igual de absorbente. La investigación histórica de Mackenzie se mezcla de forma fascinante con su trabajo policial en el siglo XXI.»The Times «Un argumento compacto, que no escatima ni en los matices de los personajes ni en las descripciones, maravillosamente evocadoras. Su lectura procura verdadero placer.»The Guardian «Entry Island es simplemente otra novela excepcional de Peter May. Aunque, pensándolo bien, nada es en verdad simple cuando se trata de Peter May, y ésta no es pues #otra# novela suya: es sin duda la mejor que ha escrito.»Undiscovered Scotland «Magistral.»The Independent «Siniestro, emocionante y evocador.»Scotland on Sunday «Potente y auténtico.»Glasgow Sunday Herald
