Sin dejar rastro
by Haylen BeckUn thriller construido de forma impecable.Una mujer que lucha contra todo para salvar lo que más le importa. Casada con un poderoso hombre de negocios neoyorquino, Audra Kinney ha reunido las fuerzas suficientes para dejar atrás una vida aparentemente acomodada pero marcada por el maltrato psicológico de su marido. Con sus hijos Sean y Louise, de once y seis años, Audra ha recorrido miles de kilómetros a través de carreteras secundarias con la intención de comenzar una nueva vida en California. Y ahora, frente a los escarpados paisajes de la desértica Arizona, siente que puede volver a respirar, que han dejado atrás el pasado y el peligro. Sin embargo, poco antes de llegar al pueblecito de Silver Water, el sheriff del condado de Elder la detiene por una presunta infracción de tráfico. Y las cosas se complican cuando en el maletero aparece una bolsa con un alijo de drogas. Audra tiene que dejar que la ayudante del sheriff se haga cargo de los niños, mientras éste la conduce a comisaría y la encierra en una celda a la espera del juicio. Pero cuando menciona a los pequeños, todo el mundo se sorprende. Según ella, el policía los ha secuestrado; según él, no había niños en el coche. Es la palabra de una fugitiva contra la de un agente con décadas de servicio y un expediente intachable, así que, a pesar de la intervención del FBI, el linchamiento mediático y social de Audra es inmediato e imparable. Hasta que Danny Lee, un detective privado con una historia personal muy parecida a la de Audra, decide entrar en acción.

El thriller del verano.»Booklist «Una novela que no deja indiferente. Un golpe en el estómago que rezuma adrenalina, intriga y acción. Las páginas vuelan.

Sin respiro
by William BoydLa amenaza de quienes viven día a día atisbando a un perseguidor persistente e implacable. En 1939 una joven de origen ruso era reclutada por los Servicios Secretos Británicos. Treinta y siete años después esta misma mujer le hace entrega a su hija Ruth del primer capítulo de su historia secreta. La vida de Eva Delectorskaya es un relato de espionaje y contraespionaje que revela un oscuro episodio de las relaciones entre Inglaterra y Estados Unidos. Ruth irá descubriendo que su madre ha vivido por y para el engaño y que, años después, aquella joven que jugó un papel decisivo en la historia europea sigue existiendo dentro de ella, tan alerta y recelosa como siempre. Sin respiro es una tensa, minuciosa y deslumbrante novela de espionaje en la que William Boyd nos sumerge en la naturaleza del miedo, de la mentira y la traición, en un mundo que ofrece como única alternativa la desconfianza. Reseñas:«La ficción británica contiene la rica tradición del thriller literario, desde Wilkie Collins, pasando por Graham Greene hasta John Le Carré, y William Boyd, con su nueva novela Sin respiro se asienta firmemente en ella.»Times Literary Supplement «Boyd ha escrito un muy buen relato. Con su voz característica -sobria y elegante- explora la verdadera idea del espionaje... Boyd es sin duda uno de los más importantes novelistas británicos contemporáneos.»San Francisco Chronicle «... Un thriller de espionaje elegantemente escrito sobre un fascinante y en gran parte oculto episodio de las relaciones entre Estados Unidos e Inglaterra.»The Washington Post «William Boyd busca, de la forma más directa y clara posible, conectar con ese tipo de lector que añora ciertos tiempos en que los narradores se dedicaban a contar y visualizar, a divertir y entretener.»Enrique Vila-Matas, El País
