Reconstruction
by Mick HerronIn this chillingly plausible thriller, CWA Gold Dagger winner Mick Herron proves he &“never tells a suspense story in the expected way&” (The New York Times Book Review).When a highly classified espionage operation breaks down, a prisoner escapes from a transport vehicle on the busy ring road outside Oxford. Now an armed and desperate man is on the loose. He has taken refuge in a preschool, where a collection of teachers, parents, and students were about to start their day. No one understands what Jaime Segura wants, and he refuses to speak to anyone but an MI6 spy named Ben Whistler, a coworker of Jaime&’s boyfriend, Milo, who has gone missing. Now, as law enforcement descends upon this quiet corner of Oxfordshire, Jaime holds the preschool hostage as his collateral, and one teacher, Louise Kennedy, finds herself in the terrifying position of protecting innocent children from the terrible decisions of the adults around them. As Louise steels her nerves and weighs her every decision, she also begins to put together the fragments of truth from the chaos around her—and no one is fiercer or more resourceful than a teacher on the trail of justice.
Reconstruction
by Mick Herron'Masterful . . . superior entertainment that makes most other novels of suspense appear dull and slow-witted by comparison' Publishers WeeklyWhat should have been a simple pick-up turns into a day-long nightmare for Bad Sam Chapman.When an operational catastrophe puts a gun in the hands of a young man, who then breaks into South Oxford Nursery School and takes a group of hostages, teacher Louise Kennedy fears the worst.

As an armed police presence builds outside the school's gates, Bad Sam Chapman - head of the intelligence service's internal security force, the Dogs - battles the clock to find out what Jaime is after. But the only person Jaime will talk to is Ben Whistler, an MI6 accountant who worked with Jaime's lover, Miro. Miro's gone missing, along with a quarter of a billion pounds allotted for reconstruction work in Iraq. Jaime refuses to believe that Miro is a thief - though he's always had his secrets. But then, so does Louise, so do the other hostages - and so do some people on the outside, who'd much rather Jaime was silenced.

Recovering Police Legitimacy: A Radical Framework
by Rafe McGregorTransatlantic policing is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of legitimacy, epitomised by public responses to the murders of George Floyd and Sarah Everard during the COVID-19 pandemic. Legitimacy is lost when the police either fail to protect the public or rely on coercion rather than consent to achieve that protection. Recovering Police Legitimacy challenges conventional criminological, political, and public solutions to the problem by approaching it from the bottom up, beginning with policing as a practice constituted by a unique set of excellences, skills, and characteristics.The author draws on his experience as a police officer and on the serial fictions of James Ellroy, David Peace, and Nic Pizzolatto to characterise the practice in terms of heroic struggle, edgework, absolute sacrifice, and worldmaking. These characteristics provide an analytic tool for revolutionising our understanding of the relations among policing as a situated practice, public protection, and police legitimacy and for identifying the different levels at which legitimacy is undermined. His conclusion is that recovery is possible but will be slow in pace and incomplete in scope.Written accessibly for students, police officers, policymakers, scholars, and anyone with an interest in police legitimacy, this is a groundbreaking study of a pressing social problem.

Uno de estos libros con el "síndrome Harry Quebert": una vez empezado, no se puede parar.»Sergio Pent, L'Unità «Leo a Pierre Lemaitre, un excelente escritor de suspense.»Stephen King «Lemaitre disfruta de lo lindo rompiendo convenciones y jugando con ellas porque las conoce bien y maneja los géneros con la habilidad de un prestidigitador.»Javier Aparicio Maydeu, Babelia «Un ejemplo brillante de cómo el género noir puede sacar ventajas de la crisis. Una trama dolorosa, pero placentera y atrevida a la vez, que consigue vengar a todos los desempleados, reales y potenciales.»Le Magazine littéraire «Su maquinaria se revela infernal. ¡Bravo! Cada capítulo parece un esprint: anotamos los puntos, cerramos los puños.»Brigitte Hernandez, Le Point «Lemaitre, hoy por hoy, el mejor y más en forma novelista noir galo, un tipo capaz de pisarle los talones al maestro (Banville) Black, en destreza narrativa y musculoso magnetismo literario.»Laura Fernández, El Cultural «Lemaitre se despacha a conciencia con el capitalismo. Un trepidante y, por momentos, incómodo thriller laboral, tan literario como cualquier novela de Raymond Chandler o Benjamin Black.»Laura Fernández y Matías Néspolo, El Mundo «Ácido noir en el que el mordaz novelista francés dirige el cañón contra lo más miserable del entorno empresarial. Absténganse directores de personal. O no...»Victor Rodríguez, Expansión «Un gran libro. La obra maestra de una de las figuras de la novela negra actual. Una visión muy afilada del mundo de los desempleados y de cómo el paro puede afectar a la psicología de las personas y conducirlas a unos límites que no sospechaban de sí mismas cuando todo les iba bien.»Benjamín Prado, Radio 3 «Completamente diferente. [...] Auténtica buena literatura, de esa que cercena viejos mitos [...]. Una novela imprescindible para recordarnos cuáles son los principales problemas del mundo moderno.

Red 1-2-3
by John KatzenbachA psycho turns fairy-tale endings into nightmares in this “vivid cat-and-mice game” from the New York Times–bestselling author (William Bayer, Edgar Award–winning author). Karen is a lonely middle-aged doctor with a house in the woods. Sarah is a grief-stricken suburban widow who has turned to booze and barbiturates. Jordan is a directionless high school student and a child of divorce. They are three women with nothing in common but their red hair—until a stranger who calls himself the Big Bad Wolf sends each one the same chilling letter. Just like vulnerable Little Red Riding Hood, they are going to be stalked and killed—but in three distinct ways, in three different locations, all on the same fateful day. The one thing this devious madman didn’t count on was the Reds discovering each other. When authorities refuse to help, Karen, Sarah, and Jordan band together. It’s only then that they discover power in numbers, and how far they’re willing to go to beat the Wolf at his own game. From the New York Times–bestselling author, comes “a twisted riff” on a Grimm tale (Publishers Weekly). “Must reading for thriller fans.”—Booklist, starred review “Few writers of crime fiction seem to understand the criminal mind as well as Katzenbach.” —People
