Living with the Dead (Women of the Otherworld #9)
by Kelley ArmstrongThey're smart, sexy, and supernatural. They're the men and women of the Otherworld--a realm of witches, ghosts, and werewolves who live unseen among us. Only now a reckless killer has torn down the wall, trapping one very human woman in the supernatural cross fire. Robyn Peltier moved to Los Angeles after her young husband's sudden death, trying to put some distance between herself and her memories. Though she's still grieving, the challenges of her new life as the PR consultant to Portia Kane--the world's most famous celebutante wannabe--can sometimes be amusing, even distracting. But when her client is gunned down in the back room of a nightclub, Robyn is suddenly on the run as the prime suspect in the murder. And as more bodies pile up around her, it seems like only Hope Adams, Robyn's best friend, and Hope's somewhat spooky boyfriend Karl are on Robyn's side. Hope Adams follows the kinds of stories whose headlines scream from supermarket checkout lines. But the difference is that Hope's stories are even weirder--and they're all true. Though determined to help Robyn, Hope knows it's only a matter of time before her friend is caught. But it's not the police Hope is worried about. For Robyn has gotten herself in the middle of a turf war between two powerful Otherworld cabals who'll spill any amount of blood--human and inhuman--to protect what they consider theirs for all eternity. And the only way Hope can keep her friend alive is by letting her enter a world she's safer knowing nothing about. (From the Hardcover edition.)

Lizzie: A Novel
by Evan HunterLizzie Borden, America's most celebrated murderer, comes to vivid life in this riveting and chilling book by acclaimed author Evan Hunter as the portrait of a notorious woman unfolds with shocking clarity.Lizzie Borden took an axAnd gave her mother forty whacks.When she saw what she had doneShe gave her father forty-one.In recreating the events of that fateful day, August 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts, and the extraordinary circumstances which led up to them, Evan Hunter spins a breathtakingly imaginative tale of an enigmatic spinster whose secret life would eventually force her to the ultimate confrontation with her stepmother and father.Here is Lizzie Borden freed of history and legend—a full-bodied woman of hot blood and passion, fighting against her prim New England upbringing, surrendering to the late-Victorian hedonism of London, Paris and the Riviera, yet fated to live out her meager life in a placid Massachusetts town.Seething with frustration and rage, a prisoner of her appetites, Lizzie Borden finally snapped . . . but how and why she was led into her uncompromising acts is at the heart of this enthralling, suspenseful work of the imagination.Alternating the actual inquest and trial of Lizzie Borden with an account of her head-spinning, seductive trip to Europe, Evan Hunter portrays with a master craftsman's art the agony of a passionate woman and the depths of a murdering heart.
Llamada para el muerto
by John Le CarréEl agente del Servicio Secreto George Smiley había encontrado a Samuel Fennan particularmente simpático durante el interrogatorio, pero ahora Fennan estaba muerto: aparentemente se había quitado él mismo la vida. Pero ¿por qué? Fennan, empleado del Foreign Office, había sido investigado por una denuncia anónima que lo vinculaba al Partido Comunista, pero Smiley tenía claro que la investigación -poco más que una verificación de rutina- estaba terminada y el caso Fennan podía ser archivado. Al día siguiente de su entrevista, Fennan apareció muerto, con una carta sobre su cuerpo acusando a Smiley y al Servicio Secreto británico de haber destruido su carrera. Algo no encajaba para Smiley, y él se ocuparía de descubrir la verdad. Una verdad que podía ir aún más lejos de lo que él mismo se imaginaba...
