Pieces of the Past (Witness Security #1)
by Jamie HillThe past is closing in on Christine Scott. Uprooted from her pleasant life in Chicago, she and her two children are thrust into the Witness Security Program when the mistakes of her husband catch up with him. He lands in prison, while she and the kids are transplanted to a quiet Kansas town. Christine does her best to keep life normal for her active ten-year-old son and persistently moody seventeen-year old daughter. But when they start receiving gifts from an anonymous sender, reminders of their old life, it becomes obvious that someone has found them. Doug Jackson's been in service with the US Marshal’s office for fifteen years. He hasn’t lost a witness yet, and doesn’t intend to start with Christine or her family. If he can get them to cooperate, his job might be easier. Unfortunately, no one seems concerned about making Doug's life easy. Not the man in the white sedan who eludes him, nor the pretty Christine, thoughts of whom he can't seem to shake. Their lives depend on Doug keeping his head in the game, and he's determined to do just that.
Piel
by Ted DekkerA freak storm has spawned three tornadoes that are bearing down on the town of Summerville. Yet under the cover of the storm looms a much more ominous threat: A vindictive killer known as Red who's left a string of victims in his wake and is now bent on exacting his final revenge on the unsuspecting town. But there is an enigma surrounding Red that the FBI is unwilling to admit-closely guarded secrets of something gone terribly wrong beneath the skin of Summerville. Secrets that will destroy far more than one small town. Wendy Davidson is caught in the middle. She's a recovering cult survivor who takes refuge in Summerville on her way to visit her estranged mother. And with her, four strangers, any of whom could be the next victim . . . or the killer.
Piel quemada
by Laura LippmanUna obra de suspense psicológico sobre dos amantes atrapados en un macabro juego de pasiones y un asesinato a sangre fría Polly y Adam se conocen en un bar de Belleville, una pequeña población de Delaware. Ella viaja hacia el oeste y él dice estar de paso. Aun así, ella se queda y él también, atraído por esa pelirroja misteriosa cuyo cuerpo voluptuoso contrasta con su actitud glacial. Un potente impulso carnal imanta a los dos protagonistas y dura un verano más intenso que cualquier presente, porque quizá sea el último. En Belleville, donde tantas mujeres han intentado embarcarse para escapar de la estrechez doméstica, una heroína decide tomar las riendas de su propio destino. La crítica ha dicho...«Cada vez que Laura Lippman publica un nuevo libro, me entran escalofríos, porque sé que vuelvo a estar en manos de la maestra. Es, sencillamente, una novelista brillante, una cronista inquebrantable de la vida actual de Estados Unidos, y Sunburn es su joya oscura, de un negro resplandeciente. Leedlo.»Gillian Flynn «Laura Lippman sigue ensanchando los límites de la novela negra moderna, y Sunburn es tal vez su obra más atrevida, una mirada despiadada sobre cómo pueden traicionarse los amantes.»Harlan Coben «De un suspense de mil demonios, Laura Lippman escribe de ensueño. [...] Siempre es buena, pero aquí se supera.»Stephen King «Una novela negra moderna en su máxima expresión, que deleitará a los amantes de las películas antiguas, complacerá a los lectores de suspense y estimulará a la legión de seguidores de Lippman.»Library Journal «Resulta evidente lo mucho que disfrutó la autora actualizando los rasgos de la novela negra, un placer tan contagioso que no puedes dejar de leer.»Kirkus Reviews «Lippman en su máxima expresión, observadora y valiente, una figura imprescidible de la ficción policíaca.»Publishers Weekly «Ingeniosa y de gran suspense, esta novela nos mantiene en vilo hasta el último momento. Lippman, una escritora seria y popular a un tiempo, traza un homenaje al género negro que muestra a una escritora en plenas facultades.»Booklist
Pierced
by Thomas EngerFrom the internationally bestselling author of Burned ("Possibly the best $15 you'll spend on a mystery this year." --Bookpage) comes a taut and riveting tale of secrets, betrayals, and a dangerous quest for the truth. If you find out who set me up, I'll tell you what happened the day your son died. That is the message crime reporter Henning Juul--back at work after being terribly burned and scarred for life in a fire that killed his son--receives from a jailed extortionist named Tore Pulli who's been convicted for a murder he claims he didn't commit. Truth has never meant more for Henning Juul. And when Pulli is found dead in his prison cell--an apparent suicide--Juul decides to dig deeper. He knows the murders Pulli was convicted of do not bear his signature, and he's convinced that Pulli would never have taken his own life. Striking up a fragile partnership with Iver Gundersen, a journalist now living with Juul's ex-wife, Juul uncovers an internal power struggle in the gang world, where the desire for serious money is destroying the traditional, honor-based hierarchy. Uncovering more questions than answers, Henning soon realizes that he has to find not one but several killers . . . ruthless murderers who have never been more dangerous than they are now.
Piercing
by Ryu MurakamiA pulsating psycho-thriller from Ryu Murakami, author of In the Miso Soup A renaissance man for the postmodern age, Ryu Murakami-a musician, filmmaker (Tokyo Decadence), TV personality, and award-winning author-has gained a cult following in the West. His first novel, Almost Transparent Blue, won Japan's most coveted literary prize and sold over a million copies, and his most recent psychosexual thriller, In the Miso Soup, gave readers a further taste of his incredibly agile imagination. In Piercing, Murakami, in his own unique style, explores themes of child abuse and what happens to the voiceless among us, weaving a disturbing, spare tale of two people who find each other and then are forced into hurting each other deeply because of the haunting specter of their own abuse as children. .

Giovanni, il fidanzato di Tata e possibile serial killer, sembra voler costruire un rapporto profondo con l'adolescente rivelandosi utile e gentile con lei. Ma, in realtà, tutto questo potrebbe essere solo un modo intelligente per conquistare il suo mondo, per dominarla facendole fare tutto quello che lui le dirà di fare e per metterla in mezzo coinvolgendola nel loro caso. Per questo, anche Giovanni inizia a raccontarle la storia dal suo punto di vista. Avendo entrambe le versioni, a quale delle due Anne finirà per credere? E quando avrà terminato di scrivere il suo racconto, sarà poi in grado di divulgarlo?

by Georges Simenon David BellosThe first novel which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.'Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man. His firm muscles filled out his jacket and quickly pulled all his trousers out of shape. He had a way of imposing himself just by standing there. His assertive presence had often irked many of his own colleagues.'In Simenon's first novel featuring Maigret, the laconic detective is taken from grimy bars to luxury hotels as he traces the true identity of Pietr the Latvian.Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has been published in previous translations as The Case of Peter the Lett and Maigret and the Enigmatic Lett.'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant.' - John Gray 'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.' - The Guardian 'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness.' - The IndependentFrom the Trade Paperback edition.f Translation.

Pig Island
by Mo HayderA “profoundly creepy and creepily convincing thriller” of religious fanatics and hoax debunkers from the Edgar Award–winning author of Hanging Hill (Publishers Weekly, starred review) Journalist Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes, but when he visits a secretive religious community on a remote Scottish island, everything he thought he knew is overturned. Following the trail of a strange creature caught briefly on film, so deformed it can hardly be human, Oakes crosses a border of electrical fencing, toxin-filled oil drums, and pig skulls to infiltrate the territory of the groups’ isolated founder, Malachi Dove. Their confrontation, and its violent aftermath, is so catastrophic that it forces Oakes to question the nature of evil—and whether he might be responsible for the heinous crime about to unfold . . . This latest entry from the acclaimed British author of the Jack Caffery novels “taps into the current fascination with all things supernatural and questions our assumptions about a number of subjects, from faith healing to cultish religious groups and society’s definition of evil” (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review). “[Hayder] remains one of our most adventurous, unpredictable and ambitious writers.” —The Guardian “Hayder offers both a riveting story and a nuanced, distinctly modern look at secrecy and publicity, belief and skepticism, normal and taboo, (in)sight and blindness.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “An adventurous, edgy, literate writer.” —Kirkus Reviews
