Two battle-scarred veterans of this army, Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro, have survived years of campaigning in Britannia and have been recalled to Rome. Their time in the teeming, dangerously political city is short, and soon they are travelling with the Praetorian Guard to Spain, a restless colony where simmering tension in the face of Roman rule is aggravated by bitter rivalry amongst the natives. The challenges that face two old friends and their comrades in arms are unlike any they have seen before - in a land that declares itself unconquerable...

El invierno del comisario Ricciardi (Comisario Ricciardi #Volumen 1)
by Maurizio de GiovanniEl primer caso del comisario Ricciardi, el responsable de la brigada contra el crimen que actúa en Nápoles en 1931. Si pudiera decirlo, lo diría así: me llamo Luigi Alfredo Ricciardi, y veo a los muertos... Estamos en Nápoles y corre el año 1931, una época en que el fascismo en Italia goza de sus momentos de gloria. Es invierno, y la ciudad parece adormilada por el frío, pero el comisario Ricciardi no para de trabajar. Hombre de pocas palabras, solitario y terco, ha heredado de su madre un extraño poder: ve el último gesto de las víctimas de muerte violenta y escucha sus últimas palabras. Ese don le permite meterse de lleno en las investigaciones, pero le obliga a compartir parte del dolor de quien ha muerto. De ahí sus silencios y su mirada a veces extraviada. En este primer caso vemos a Ricciardi en los camerinos del Teatro San Carlo de Nápoles. Ahí el gran tenor ArnaldoVezzi, artista admirado por su talento y amigo personal de Mussolini, ha sido brutalmente asesinado justo antes de subir al escenario para cantar I Pagliacci. Poco a poco iremos descubriendo el verdadero carácter de Vezzi y veremos cumplirse una vez más la ley de Ricciardi: las víctimas de un crimen, vengan de donde vengan, hagan lo que hagan, sean pobres o ricas, acaban muriendo por hambre o por amor. Con este relato se inicia la larga serie de novelas dedicadas al comisario Ricciardi, unos libros donde la intriga es importante, pero cuenta también y sobre todo ir disfrutando de la buena literatura y de la vida de Nápoles en la época del fascismo, un tiempo que parece repetirse hoy sin descanso y con mucho descaro.

Invisible: A Novel (Paul McGrath #1)
by Andrew GrantAn Army veteran and intelligence agent goes undercover as a janitor at a federal courthouse to pursue his own brand of justice in a thriller that’s part John Grisham, part Robert Crais.“Propulsive and engaging from the very first page.”—C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Joe Pickett series As a young man, Paul McGrath rebelled against his pacifist father by becoming a standout Army recruit and the star of his military intelligence unit. But lingering regrets about their relationship make him return home, only to find his father dead, seemingly murdered. When the case ends in a mistrial—after a key piece of evidence disappears—something doesn’t smell right to McGrath. So he puts his arsenal of skills to work to find out just how corrupt the legal system is. And to keep digging, he gets a job at the courthouse. But not as a lawyer or a clerk. . . . Now McGrath is a janitor. The perfect cover, it gives him security clearance and access to the entire building. No one notices him, but he notices everyone. He notices when witnesses suddenly change their stories. When jury members reverse their votes during deliberation. When armies of corporate attorneys grind down their small-time adversaries with endless tactical shenanigans. While McGrath knows that nothing he discovers can undo his past wrongs or save his father, he finds his new calling brings him something else: the chance to right current wrongs and save others. And by doing so—just maybe—to redeem himself . . . if the powerful and corrupt don’t kill him first.Advance praise for Invisible “The masterful Andrew Grant outdoes himself with this deliciously twisty, magnetic thriller. Fiercely redemptive, with its clever, profoundly moving, and altogether captivating David and Goliath hook, Invisible is a winner.”—Sara Blaedel, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Forgotten Girls“Paul McGrath is not just a janitor—he’s a terrific new hero in what promises to be a fantastic and original series by Grant.

I love getting in on the ground floor of a new series, especially when it’s sure to be a hit!”—John Gilstrap, New York Times bestselling author of the Jonathan Grave series
