Lullaby For Morons: Based On The True Story Of America's First School Teacher Murder
by Ronald K. SiegelIn 1914, many people in America were being wrongly diagnosed as "morons". Most were committed to asylums. Some committed suicide. Two were childhood friends who became involved in the tragedy of America's first school teacher murder in Poland, New York. The ensuing trial was held in the same Herkimer courthouse as the Gillette-Brown murder case. The trial, which focused on the violent nature of the crime and the "degenerate" behavior of the defendant, quickly eclipsed the Adirondack murder as Upstate New York's "Trial of the Century." Fast-paced and suspenseful, anchored in historical fact, Lullaby For Morons takes us into a dark age of medical and legal thinking and the even darker paranoid world of misdiagnosed victims struggling to survive.
Lullaby Road: A Novel
by James AndersonWinter has come to Route 117, a remote road through the high desert of Utah trafficked only by eccentrics, fugitives, and those looking to escape the world. Local truck driver Ben Jones, still in mourning over a heartbreaking loss, is just trying to get through another season of treacherous roads and sudden snowfall without an accident. But then he finds a mute Hispanic child who has been abandoned at a seedy truck stop along his route, far from civilization and bearing a note that simply reads “Please Ben. Watch my son. His name is Juan” And then at the bottom, a few more hastily scribbled words. “Bad Trouble. Tell no one.”. Despite deep misgivings, and without any hint of who this child is or the grave danger he’s facing, Ben takes the child with him in his truck and sets out into an environment that is as dangerous as it is beautiful and silent. From that moment forward, nothing will ever be the same. Not for Ben. Not for the child. And not for anyone along the seemingly empty stretch of road known as Route 117.

by Joan FallonDescripción del libro: La víspera del Solsticio de verano, los cuerpos de dos jóvenes gitanos son encontrados en un lugar solitario cerca de una playa en Málaga. Parece que la pareja cometió suicidio, un pacto de amantes para terminar con todo, y la policía se apresura a cerrar el caso. Pero Jacaranda Dunne, una investigadora privada que solía trabajar para la Policía Metropolitana, piensa de otro modo. Cuando el primo de la chica muerta le pide a JD que investigue, le dice que el hombre era gay y la chica estaba embarazada, ambos motivos para provocar la desesperación cuando eres gitano, pero no para cometer suicidio. La investigación resulta más difícil de lo habitual. Su trabajo se ve impedido por la cultura y costumbres de la comunidad gitana, que cierran filas contra cualquier interferencia exterior, y por un recalcitrante comandante de la Guardia Civil. JD puede esperar poca ayuda de ninguno de ellos, así que ella y su equipo conciben vías alternativas para recabar evidencias. Al principio, parece no haber motivo para matar a estos dos jóvenes, pero gradualmente, a medida que JD investiga el mundo en el que han vivido, algunas verdades incómodas comienzan a emerger. Luna de fresa es el tercer libro de los misterios de Jacaranda Dunne escrito por la galardonada autora Joan Fallon. Si te gustan los detectives que no siguen las normas, te encantará JD.
Lunar Park (Vintage Contemporaries Ser.)
by Bret Easton EllisUna novela vertiginosa e hipnotizante en la que el enfant terrible de la literatura norteamericana arremete contra su propia biografia. Imagine que se convierte en un autor de gran éxito cuando todavía es universitario. Fama y millones de dólares difuminan la muerte inmediata de su insufrible padre. Fiestas glamurosas en Manhattan, sexo y drogas le sumergen en la vorágine de la autodestrucción. Imagine que poco después tiene una segunda oportunidad, como le sucede a Bret Easton Ellis en Lunar Park: una nueva vida junto a su esposa y sus hijos en un idílico barrio residencial. Sin embargo, todo esto puede cambiar... En una fatídica fiesta de Halloween, Bret Easton Ellis cree ver a uno de sus personajes de ficción más temibles conduciendo un coche como el de su padre, mientras, en la habitación de su hijastra, una muñeca ha cobrado vida. Extrañamente, la casa desprende una atmósfera fantasmal y en el exterior las cosas no parecen ir mejor: se suceden una serie de asesinatos y desapariciones de niños de la misma edad que su hijo. Lunar Park es una obra excepcional en la que se confunden realidad y ficción, y en ella el enfant terrible de la literatura americana arremete contra su propia biografía. Reseñas:«He aquí un libro que avanza desde la oscuridad y la banalidad hacia la luz y la epifanía con una fuerza y seguridad sorprendentes.»Stephen King «Un libro inquietante y real [...] El primer capítulo es la prueba de que no tiene desperdicio, que es droga dura y que, contra el olvido que le auguraran los detractores del escritor, Easton sigue en forma.»Nuria Labari, El Mundo «Adictiva, sublime, exquisita, brillantemente ejecutada [...] Una fantasmagórica fusión de amor y pérdida, de alucinaciones y sabiduría.»The New York Times «En Lunar Park, Ellis supera la frontera de la metaficción introduciéndonos en un modelo narrativo que bien pudiéramos denominar como "psycho-ficción". Las evocaciones que sugiere son tan numerosas como heterogéneas.»José Antonio Gurpegui, El Cultural «Lunar Park es una novela tremendamente entretenida, propulsada por un humor festivo completamente ausente en la escritura de la generación de escritores americanos que sucedió a Ellis.»Matt Thorne, The Independent «Una lectura hipnotizante [...] Verdaderamente aterradora [...] Lunar Park es una historia acerca de ese dolor transcendental que los padres infligen a sus hijos [...] El peor tipo de violencia es aquella que es interna y emocional, y en las bellas páginas finales de esta rica y compleja novela se demuestra que también es el tipo más dañino.»The Miami Herald

Lunatics
by Dave Barry Alan ZweibelPhilip Horkman is a happy man, the owner of a pet store called The Wine Shop, and on Sundays a referee for a local kids' soccer league. Jeffrey Peckerman is the proud and loving father of a star athlete in the girls' ten-and-under soccer league, and he's not exactly happy with the ref. The two of them are about to collide in a swiftly escalating series of events that will send them running for their lives, pursued by the police, soldiers, subversives, bears, revolutionaries, pirates, and a black ops team that does not exist. Where all that takes them you can't even begin to guess, but the literary journey there is a masterpiece of inspiration, chaos, and unadulterated, well, lunacy. And they might even learn a lesson or two along the way.
