Quien esté libre de culpa
by Anna BaileyUN THRILLER PSICOLÓGICO ABSORBENTE Y CAUTIVADOR «Irresistible, convincente».PAULA HAWKINS, autora de La chica del tren y A fuego lento Cuando Emma se separa de su amiga Abigail durante una fiesta nocturna en el bosque, en la que todos han bebido más de la cuenta, todavía cree que sus vidas están a punto de empezar. Pero Emma no volverá a ver nunca más a su amiga. Sin embargo, lo que ocurre a partir de este momento en Whistling Ridge, un remoto y claustrofóbico pueblo de Colorado, es mucho más que la historia de una chica desaparecida. Es una historia de rencores y secretos, resentimientos y rabia, amor y mentiras. La desaparición de Abigail hará que la fachada de hipocresía y fervor religioso, que domina a los habitantes del pueblo, se desmorone y que la lucha de Emma por descubrir la verdad convierta a todos los vecinos del pueblo en sospechosos y cómplices de la tragedia. La crítica ha dicho:«Irresistible, convincente».Paula Hawkins, autora de La chica del tren y A fuego lento «Una primera novela impactante, una mirada escalofriante en un mundo opresivo donde los pensamientos negativos y las malas acciones ondean por debajo de la superficie, sin ser vistas».The Observer «Imparable y conmovedora».Literary Review «Hermosamente escrita y muy conmovedora, un gran debut».The Guardian «Uno de los debuts más interesantes del año».Sunday Express «Inteligentemente escrito, el debut de Anne Bailey pone el foco en el lado más oscuro y opresivo de una pequeña comunidad».The Independent «A la vez amenazante e inquietante, un debut atmosférico y convincente».Daily Mail «Inquietante y lúgubre, el camino de Emma en busca de dónde la verdad se esconde llegará al alma del lector de manera conmovedora y compasiva».Crime Time «Capta de manera vívida una atmósfera de sospecha y represión».Irish Independent
Quien juega con fuego...
by Laura Luna MillerGunvor es una mujer en edad de jubilarse que durante muchos años trabajó con éxito como cirujana. Cuando los años se hicieron notar y ni los bloqueadores beta podían controlar sus temblorosas manos, su carrera tuvo un abrupto fin. Siendo adicta al trabajo, buscó una nueva carrera como detective privado. Es como tal que nos encontramos con ella por primera vez. Ella es muy activa y todavía ambiciona una carrera profesional. Es un lobo solitario que entrena duramente, a pesar de que a su cuerpo le cuesta seguir el ritmo. Siente miedo a la vejez aunque ya esta la ha alcanzado. Después de muchos años viviendo en un chalet de Saltsjöbaden, ahora tras su divorcio, reside en un apartamento de Fruängen. Se ha prometido a sí misma no permitirse desperdiciar los años en banalidades, sino aprovechar al máximo cada día. Gunvor es todavía la novata cuando le encargan una misión aparentemente sencilla; una sospecha de infidelidad. Cuando el hombre a quien espía, resulta brutalmente maltratado y su mujer cancela la misión, no puede evitar intentar resolver el misterio por cuenta propia. Aunque no es enteramente por cuenta propia, porque la asisten David y Elin. David es un joven holgazán en paro, el cual dedicaba gran parte del tiempo a vagar junto a sus amigos por el metro de Fruängen. Elin es una chica tímida y reprimida de 19 años, que ha pasado la mayor parte de su vida encerrada en su dormitorio, intentando eludir las peleas de sus padres. Es el juego del gato y el ratón, lleno de violencia, locura, pasión y valentía. Además de ser una intriga en la que es difícil concluir quién es el verdadero enemigo hasta que llega su desenlace, es también la historia de una naciente amistad entre tres personajes muy dispares.
Quien mate al dragón (Inspector Evert Bäckström #Volumen 2)
by Leif GW PerssonEl inspector más impresentable de la policía sueca logra por fin sus quince minutos de fama. Después de Linda, como en el asesinato de Linda, llega Quien mate al dragón, la segunda entrega de la serie Evert Bäckström, del premiado escritor Leif GW Persson. Dos cosas traen de cabeza a Evert Bäckström desde que ha recuperado el cargo de comisario tras una temporada de exilio forzoso en el almacén de objetos perdidos de la policía. En primer lugar, las órdenes tajantes del médico para que ponga fin a años de excesos alimentarios, alcohol y cero ejercicio. En segundo lugar, un asesinato de tantos, un caso típico y rutinario... en el que algo no encaja, aunque únicamente lo perciba él. Pero el instinto vuelve a darle la razón. A los pocos días Bäckström y su equipo tienen otro homicidio relacionado con el primero e indicios de su vinculación con un atraco a un furgón blindado que se cobró la vida de otras dos personas. Cuatro muertes sin resolver en una semana. El país entero necesita un héroe y Anna Holt, la nueva jefa de policía, necesita a alguien que mate por ella al dragón que ha clavado las garras en su distrito. ¿Logrará por fin el comisario sus quince minutos de gloria? Del escritor galardonado en tres ocasiones con el premio de la Asociación de Escritores Suecos de Novela Negra, el premio a la excelencia de la Asociación Finlandesa de Novela Policíaca y el premio Piraten 2012 en reconocimiento a toda su obra, llega el segundo caso de Evert Bäckström, un comisario bajito, gordo, irascible y ofensivo; como han dicho algunos, un doctor Gregory House en versión policíaca. Reseñas:«El comisario de policía Evert Bäckström no es lo que se espera de un funcionario sueco (quizá por ello luce baja estatura y obesidad): ortodoxia, rigor y respeto a la ley no van con su estilo. Y sinembargo... Adictiva.»La Voz de Galicia «Cuanto más lo leo [a Leif GW Persson], más convencida estoy de que este hombre es, antes que un muy buen escritor -que lo es-, un sutil y despiadado humorista. Porque nunca me he reído tanto con una novela policiaca. [...] Al cerrar el libro, piensa una que ojalá llegue pronto la tercera entrega de las aventuras de Bäckström. Queremos más.»Libros y Literatura «Esta novela sirve para reconciliarme con los suecos. [...] Quien mate al dragón no sólo merece nuestro aplauso sino la recomendación más fervorosa. Hacía tiempo que no reía así con una novela y lo ha tenido que provocar un inspector sueco, con problemas con el alcohol y con su peso, con una libido extraordinaria, un ego y una madurez que podría competir con el de cualquier adolescente. No se lo pierdan, es un auténtico soplo de aire fresco.»La República Cultural «Bäckström consigue enrevesar todo, entrometerse en todo, fastidiar y entorpecer las investigaciones de sus compañeros, a la vez que resolver el caso con un giro sorprendente que ata hasta el más minúsculo cabo suelto. Es decir, un giro eficaz, no un conejo sacado de la chistera. Ahí estaba todo, a la vista... solo que no lo veíamos. En definitiva: más Bäckström que nunca.»Paraíso4
Quien pierde paga
by Stephen KingProtagonizada por el mismo trío dispar de héroes que Stephen King nos presentó en Mr. Mercedes llega ahora la continuación: Quien pierde paga, una obra maestra de la intriga sobre un lector cuya obsesión por un escritor va demasiado lejos. «Despierta, genio». Así comienza la fascinante novela de Stephen King sobre un lector fanático. El genio es John Rothstein, un autor de culto, creador del personaje de Jimmy Gold. Morris Bellamy está fuera de sí, no solo porque Rothstein haya dejado de escribir, sino también porque considera que el inconformista Jimmy Gold se ha vendido para dedicarse a la publicidad. Morris decide matar a Rothstein y vacía su caja fuerte para llevarse no solo todo el dinero sino además el verdadero tesoro: los cuadernos de notas de otra novela protagonizada por Jimmy Gold. Morris lo esconde todo y al día siguiente acaba en la cárcel por otro crimen terrorífico. Décadas más tarde un chico llamado Pete Saubers encuentra el tesoro y ahora son él y su familia a quienes han de salvar Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney y Jerome Robinson del vengativo y trastornado Morris cuando salga de la cárcel tras treinta y cinco años encerrado. Quien pierde paga es un thriller absorbente, de ritmo vertiginoso, pero también es un libro sobre cómo la literatura puede moldear una vida para bien, para mal, para siempre.
Quienes manejan los hilos
by Roberto SánchezUna historia sobre la amistad y los primeros amores, de crímenes y abusos en la España más negra, de traiciones y dulces venganzas. Una ucronía donde nadie podrá demostrar que todo lo que le ocurre a Ramón Santolaya no pasó tal y como él lo cuenta. 24 de octubre de 2019. Ramón Santolaya, en calidad de secretario de Estado, asiste como testigo al acto de exhumación de Francisco Franco en El Valle de los Caídos. Posteriormente, desde el coche oficial, observa el vuelo que porta el féretro hasta Mingorrubio. Sin embargo, los restos del dictador nunca llegan a su destino. El helicóptero que los traslada se estrella pocos minutos después del despegue. ¿Atentado? ¿Accidente? Está a punto de que se descubra la gran verdad, de que se desvele uno de los secretos mejor guardados de la reciente historia de España. Santolaya teme que lo puedan relacionar con los hechos y decide que es el momento de huir, de abandonar una carrera que le ha llevado hasta la fontanería de La Moncloa pasando por los servicios de inteligencia. Desde la dictadura a la democracia, más de cuarenta años siempre muy cerca del poder y la toma de decisiones. En su viaje evoca el pasado en la Barcelona de finales de los sesenta, cuando siendo un ocioso adolescente, la casualidad hizo que empezara a trabajar como lazarillo de un ilustre norteamericano, un agregado comercial con buenos contactos en la embajada. McNamara, sin embargo, se encargaba de tejer las redes de contactos entre todos aquellos actores interesados en tener un papel destacado en la inminente transición española. La crítica ha dicho...«Ágil, chispeante, tremendamente imaginativa. Roberto Sánchez demuestra en esta novela de picaresca e intrigas que se puede inventar el pasado de tal manera que lo rocambolesco parece verosímil.»Elvira Lindo «Bien escrita, bien trazada y bien resuelta, esta novela en un magnífico retrato a la vez irónico y melancólico de un tiempo y un país que se fueron, pero han dejado huella.»Benjamín Prado«Un trepidante thriller político y de misterio. Consigue mezclar muy bien la ficción y el realismo.»MEW Magazine «Roberto Sánchez le echa mucha imaginación (o no...) a esta historia de espías y te lleva de la mano por una España no tan lejana. Muy buena lectura.»Susana Martin Gijón «Conuna buena mezcla de ficción y realidad, nos paseamos por la más reciente historia de España. Muy recomendable.»Pasar página «Una emocionante ucronía, llena de intriga, misterio y personajes interesantes.»La orilla de las letras «Una novela de tono ligero con bastante peso de fondo, escrita por alguien cuyo talento narrativo se va poniendo más de manifiesto con cada nuevo libro que publica.»Actos de lectura

Quiet Dell: A Novel
by Jayne Anne PhillipsFrom the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Night Watch, a spectacularly riveting novel based on a real-life crime by a con man who preyed on widows: &“a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction&” (Stephen King).In Chicago in 1931, Asta Eicher, a lonely mother of three, is desperate for money after the sudden death of her husband. She begins to receive seductive letters from a chivalrous, elegant man named Harry Powers, who promises to cherish and protect her, ultimately to marry her and to care for her and her children. Weeks later, Asta and her three children are dead. Emily Thornhill, one of the few women journalists in the Chicago press, wants to understand what happened to this beautiful family, particularly to the youngest child, Annabel, an enchanting girl with a precocious imagination and sense of magic. Determined, Emily travels to West Virginia to cover the murder trial and to investigate the story herself, accompanied by a charming and unconventional photographer equally drawn to the case. These heroic characters, driven by secrets of their own, will stop at nothing to ensure Powers is convicted. A tragedy, a love story, and a tour de force of obsession, Jayne Anne Phillips’s Quiet Dell “hauntingly imagines the victims’ hopes, dreams, and terror” (O, The Oprah Magazine). It is a mesmerizing and deeply moving novel from one of America’s most celebrated writers.
Quiet Neighbors: A Novel
by Catriona McPhersonIt's the oldest bookshop in a town full of bookshops; rambling-and disordered, full of treasures if you look hard. Jude found one of the treasures when she visited last summer, the high point of a miserable vacation. Now, in the depths of winter, when she has to run away, Lowells chaotic bookshop in that backwater of a town is the safe place she runs to. Jude needs a bolt-hole; Lowell needs an assistant, and when an affordable rental is thrown in too, life begins to look up. The gravedigger's cottage isn't perfect for a woman alone, but at least she has quiet neighbors. Quiet, but not silent. The long dead and the books they left behind both have tales to tell, and the dusty rooms of the bookshop are not the haven they seem to be. Lowell's past and Jude's present are a dangerous cocktail of secrets and lies, and someone is coming to light the taper that could destroy everything."
