No apagues la luz
by Bernard MinierUna novela que agarra al lector y no le deja apagar la luz hasta la última página. Desde que el psicópata Julian Hirtmann le envió el corazón de Marianne dentro de una caja de cartón, el comandante Martin Servaz ha permanecido internado en un centro para policías, luchando por sobreponerse a un golpe tan atroz. Necesita descanso y, sobre todo, recuperar las ganas de vivir. Sin embargo, un día Servaz recibe por correo la llave electrónica de una habitación de hotel en la que un año antes una artista se quitó la vida de una forma sobrecogedora. Intrigado por los motivos que han llevado al misterioso remitente a contactar con él, Servaz contraviene las órdenes de guardar reposo y decide investigar por su cuenta. Al mismo tiempo, la periodista radiofónica Christine Steinmeyer encuentra en su buzón una misiva anónima perturbadora: la carta de una suicida, primer paso de un acoso sin tregua que continuará con llamadas amenazadoras, extorsión e intimidación sexual; una serie de agresiones que la sumirán una pesadilla que podría arrebatarle la cordura. Conforme Martin y Christine se ven envueltos en situaciones cada vez más extrañas, las claves para resolver este misterio inexplicable surgirán en sitios tan dispares como las óperas clásicas de desenlaces trágicos, un diario desgarrador o en el corazón de la industria aeronáutica, basada en Toulouse. Ante estas circunstancias, dos personas en un estado mental extremadamente frágil no tendrán otra salida que plantar cara a sus demonios más íntimos y a un enemigo perturbado dispuesto a todo por hacerse con el control de sus vidas. La crítica ha dicho...«Con un dominio perfecto de la mecánica de la novela negra, Minier maneja personajes complejos y una atmósfera opresiva, desplegando un crescendo de violencia al servicio de una intriga maliciosa.»Livres Hebdo «Aunque uno sea capaz de adivinar lo que vendrá a continuación, ansía comprender, y éstas son las señas de identidad de una gran novela detectivesca.»Elle «Una obra bien documentada, visual y musical, que aborda los temas del acoso y la manipulación con precisión y sentimiento.»France Info «El lector no podrá apagar la luz hasta haber llegado a la última página.»Version Femina

No Bad Deed: A Novel
by Heather ChavezA good Samaritan’s actions send her own plummeting into chaos in this debut thriller for fans of Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner.Driving home one rainy night, Cassie Larkin sees a man and woman fighting on the side of the road. After calling 911, she makes a split-second decision that will throw her suburban life into chaos. Against the dispatcher’s advice, she gets out of her minivan and confronts the attacker. That’s when he turns on her and spits out a chilling ultimatum: “Let her die, and I’ll let you live.” A veterinarian trained to heal, Cassie can’t let the woman die. But while she’s examining the unconscious victim, the attacker steals her car. Now he has her name. Her address. And he knows about her children. Though they warn her to be careful, the police assure her that the perpetrator won’t get near her. Cassie isn’t so sure. The next day—Halloween—her husband disappears while trick-or-treating with their six-year-old daughter. Are these disturbing events a coincidence or the beginning of a horrifying nightmare? Her husband has been growing distant—is it possible he’s become involved with another woman? Is Cassie’s confrontation with the road-side attacker connected to her husband’s disappearance? With these questions swirling in her mind Cassie can trust no one, maybe not even herself. The only thing she knows for sure is that she can’t sit back while the people she loves are in danger. As she desperately searches for answers, Cassie discovers that nothing is as random as it seems, and that she is more than willing to fight—to go to the most terrifying extremes—to save her family.
No Beast So Fierce (Mysterious Press-highbridge Audio Classics Ser.)
by Edward BunkerAn ex-con struggles to adjust to life outside prison walls in &“one of the great crime novels of the past 30 years&” (James Ellroy). After eight years spent locked up, Max has gotten very good at being a prisoner. He knows the guards, the inmates, and how to survive. But the parole board has decided that he has sufficiently reformed, and it&’s time for him to say goodbye. When Max reaches the outside world, he finds that freedom doesn&’t make anything easier. Based on his own experiences in prison, Edward Bunker first drafted No Beast So Fierce in the 1950s, while incarcerated in San Quentin State Prison. He spent the next two decades in and out of jail, writing essays for various magazines and working on the novel, which was finally published in 1973. Eighteen months later, the book was used as evidence that he was fit to leave jail. He received parole, and spent the rest of his life a free man. Rooted in real-life experiences and hailed by Quentin Tarantino—who cast Bunker in his film Reservoir Dogs—as &“the best first person crime novel I have ever read,&” No Beast So Fierce is a gritty and compelling read like no other.
