Sol de mayo (Subjefe Rocco Schiavone #Volumen 4)
by Antonio ManziniCuarta novela de la serie protagonizada por el subjefe Rocco Schiavone, un personaje de una verdad y una profundidad tales que da la impresión de tener vida propia. Unos días después de haber liberado a Chiara Berguet, el subjefe Rocco Schiavone se encuentra muy afectado por un hecho que no le desearía a nadie: la muerte, en su propia casa, de la compañera de un amigo de Roma, acribillada con balas que iban destinadas a él. Pero cuando la depresión amenaza una vez más con doblegarlo, Rocco echa mano del mejor recurso que conoce para combatirla: expresar su ira contra todo el mundo, transmutada en una ironía capaz de herir más hondo que una navaja. Por fortuna, los agentes de la comisaría de Aosta, que están aprendiendo a convivir con la coraza de espinas que recubre el corazón malherido de su jefe, saben tomárselo con filosofía y aguantar el chaparrón. Así que, cuando Rocco sale del pozo, lo animan a emprender la búsqueda del asesino, que, al discurrir entre Roma y Aosta, se convierte en una dolorosa exploración de su pasado, un viaje en el tiempo que es como una herida abierta sobre una llaga que sigue sangrando. Y por si fuera poco, el caso de otro finado, al que en un principio se había dado carpetazo como víctima de un infarto, aterriza sobre su mesa para avivar su irritación. Y con él, un nuevo viaje, en esta ocasión al sector más acomodado de la ciudad, el de los que están fuera de toda sospecha, los que creen que pueden disponer de la vida humana como si de un peluche se tratara.

Sold Down the River (Benjamin January #4)
by Barbara HamblyIn A Free Man of Color, Fever Season, and Graveyard Dust, Benjamin January penetrated the murkiest corners of glittering old New Orleans to bring murderers to justice. Now, in bestselling author Barbara Hambly's haunting new novel, he explores a vivid and violent plantation world darker than anything in the city.... Sold Down the River.The crisp autumn air of 1834 awakens the French Town to a new season of balls and operas. But this November there will be no waltzes played by Benjamin January, no piano lessons for Creole children. For a shadow has emerged from his past-Simon Fourchet, the savage man to whom he was bound in slavery until the age of seven. When someone he cannot refuse asks the favor, Benjamin reluctantly agrees to reenter the realm of his childhood on Fourchet's upriver sugar plantation.Abandoning his Parisian French for the African patois of a field hand, Benjamin sets out to uncover who and what lies behind the sinister happenings there. On All Souls' night, at the dark of the moon, a fire was started in the mill. A field gang's food has been poisoned and the butler murdered. And voodoo curse marks appear everywhere. If the villain cannot be discovered, every slave on Mon Triomphe will be condemned to what passes for justice.Cutting cane from dawn to nightfall, until his bones ache and his musician's hands bleed, Benjamin strives to unlock the riddle. Are these the omens of a slave revolt, or something more personal? As acts of sabotage mount and voodoo signs multiply, he ponders the family in the big house: Fourchet's pale and pious new wife, his two grown sons, and his shrewish daughter-in-law. Then the inhabitants of the slave quarters: a proud and secretive cook, young lovers torn apart by a brutal overseer, men and women who long for loved ones sold away. And what of the neighboring planter, feuding with Fourchet over a piece of land... or the elusive river trader who knows so many of the servants' secrets?Somewhere in the warp and weft of these people's lives lurks Benjamin's quarry-whose scheming could destroy not just Fourchet but all his kin and every human being he owns. And Benjamin January must use all his intelligence and cunning to find the killer, before he finds himself... Sold Down the River.From the Hardcover edition.
