Lt. Francis X. Byrne, a smart, ambitious homicide detective on the rise, lives in a rundown Hell's Kitchen apartment and knows far less about his own life than he believes. Struggling with his temper, his drinking and his relationship with a woman who has him outclassed, Byrne is trying to solve the gruesome slaying of a Danish diplomat and following the trail of Egil Ekdhal's short life into a world where beautiful people play the most dangerous of games. But as Byrne gets closer to Ekdahl's true identity, he collides with the one man he loathes more than any other: his own FBI agent brother. Tom Byrne has broken every rule in pursuit of a spy's Holy Grail: the KGB's top-secret file on Lee Harvey Oswald. It's a dossier that the FBI, the CIA and even the Mafia desperately want—a file stained by blackmail, intimidation and suicide.

The Excitements: A Novel
by CJ Wray"Irresistible...Filled with surprise, poignancy, and excitement, this is a surefire winner." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)A brilliant and witty drama about two brave female World War II veterans who survived the unthinkable without ever losing their killer instinct…or their joie de vivre.Meet the Williamson sisters, Britain’s most treasured World War II veterans. Now in their late nineties, Josephine and Penny are in huge demand, popping up at commemorative events and history festivals all over the country. Despite their age, they’re still in great form—perfectly put together, sprightly and sparky, and always in search of their next “excitement.”This time it’s a trip to Paris to receive the Légion d’honneur for their part in the liberation of France. And as always, they will be accompanied by their devoted great-nephew, Archie.Keen historian Archie has always been given to understand that his great aunts had relatively minor roles in the Women’s Royal Navy and the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, but that’s only half the story. Both sisters are hiding far more than the usual “official secrets”. There’s a reason sweet Auntie Penny can dispatch a would-be mugger with an umbrella.This trip to Paris is not what it seems either. Scandal and crime have always quietly trailed the Williamson sisters, even in the decades after the war. Now armed with new information about an old adversary, these much decorated (but admittedly ancient) veterans variously intend to settle scores, avenge lost friends, and pull off one last, daring heist before the curtain finally comes down on their illustrious careers.

Exclusive
by Sandra BrownWatergate, Schmatergate, get a load of this: a dead infant, a sleazy president, a manic-depressive first lady, an aide that makes G. Gordon Liddy look like a wuss, murder, adultery, a thousand skeletons peeping from a thousand closets. Exclusive moves so quickly because somebody is always doing something bad. TV journalist Barrie Travis interviews the first lady, a Southern belle still mourning the death of her infant. With a mixture of horror and self-interest, Travis perceives the slightest hint that the first infant didn't merely die, but was murdered. But by who, and why? As you can imagine, that's when it gets messy. The book might capsize under the sheer weight of seamy scandals and sleazy characters were it not for the almost-supernaturally spunky Travis and her somewhat reluctant love-object, craggy ex-Marine Gray Bondurant. Bondurant left the White House under a cloud. Was he the first lady's lover? Travis and Bondurant come together to solve the mystery, of course. If you read fast, you might just keep up.

La excursión a Tindari (Salvo Montalbano #Volumen 7)
by Andrea CamilleriOtra apasionante entrega del comisario Montalbano que ha sabido ganarse la simpatía de numerosos lectores con su especial sabiduría para disfrutar de los pequeños placeres y sobrellevar con elegancia el paso del tiempo. Toda una filosofía de vida. Poseedor de las mejores virtudes del hombre mediterráneo, el comisario Montalbano enseña a disfrutar de la vida sin dejar de lado esa aguda percepción de la realidad, aderezada con la dosis exacta de cinismo, que le permite revelar la cara oculta de las cosas. Toda una filosofía de vida que Andrea Camilleri ha llevado a su máxima expresión con esta última novela del inefable inspector siciliano, la quinta publicada en castellano tras Un mes con Montalbano, El perro de terracota, La voz del violín y El ladrón de meriendas. Nos reencontramos así con los entrañables personajes que pueblan la imaginaria localidad de Vigàta, en Sicilia: desde Livia, la novia genovesa de Montalbano, hasta Ingrid, su sensual amiga sueca, pasando por el voluntarioso Catarella y Mimì Augello, el fiel subcomisario. En esta ocasión, sin embargo, el inspector tiene que emplearse a fondo para resolver dos casos que parecen no tener nada en común: el asesinato de un joven y la desaparición de un matrimonio de ancianos durante una excursión a Tindari. Tras profundas reflexiones bajo un añoso árbol, descubre la pista que lo conducirá hasta una siniestra organización con la que más le valdría no haberse topado. Sobre la serie se ha dicho...«Camilleri ha sabido ocupar una laguna endémica en la literatura italiana contemporánea, la 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 «Si hay autores cuyos libros suscitan admiración, sorpresa, emoción, los de Andrea Camilleri suscitan eso..., y lo hacen gracias a una combinación infalible: una sabiduría de zorro viejo, un humor socarrón del que nadie se libra y una enorme comprensión hacia las debilidades humanas.»ABC Cultural «En formato de estruendosa tragicomedia, resulta un saludable ejercicio de humor tonificante y tunante, pespunteado de ironía inteligente, distanciadamente próximo, demoledor pero exento de hiel.»La Vanguardia «Esta novela de Camilleri puede ser considerada el broche de oro de su producción..., pues la fascinación del idioma, el universo metafórico siciliano, la ironía y la intriga llegan a su máxima expresión a través de una puntual y equilibrada interacción.»Leer
