Pelikan
by David Lozell MartinPelikan is one of the rarities of modern fiction: rousing and well written, a book with humor that never insults intelligence even as it outrages propriety. The journey begins when thirty-three-year-old Charlie Curtis travels to New Orleans on a deathbed assignment from his father to find the father's half-brother -- James Joseph Pelikan, who rules the French Quarter from midnight until dawn in places where tourists seldom venture. Charlie is barely off the train when he witnesses the murder of one of Pelikan's cronies by a woman whose only adornment is a fishhook through her lower lip. There ensues a drama, a caper, a quest. Although unschooled, James Joseph Pelikan delivers outrageous riffs on such topics as the Mississippi River's being America's alimentary canal... and what that makes New Orleans. A pimp who arranges sex parties, he also serves as a paladin for nuns; he hustles and scams but will also bathe and feed the most wretched of the homeless; cruel and manipulative (he manages to break Charlie's heart and his finger), Pelikan is so obsessed by redemption that he'll use a toothbrush to clean sidewalks outside St. Louis Cathedral. That Charlie would eventually join this seducer in a hurricane-whipped burglary has more to do with loyalty than larceny. In Pelikan, David Lozell Martin, acclaimed thriller writer and author of a literary classic, The Crying Heart Tattoo, has created something reminiscent of A Confederacy of Dunces with the kind of oddball characters and sense of place found in Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard. Martin combines his skills as a writer of dark suspense (Lie to Me; Tap, Tap) and literary novels (The Beginning of Sorrows) to make Pelikan a carnival ride to enlightenment.

La pena máxima
by Santiago RoncaglioloLa tarde de ese viernes, Joaquín se había presentado en el archivo, con aspecto enfermo y pálido. Se había despedido con esas palabras: «Que te vaya bien. Todo saldrá bien». Al parecer, estaba equivocado. Nada había salido bien desde entonces. Lima 1978. Un hombre que porta una mochila sospechosa es perseguido por las calles de uno de los barrios más populares de la ciudad y asesinado a plena luz del día. Pero nadie ha visto nada. El asesino ha elegido el momento perfecto para cometer su crimen: la ciudad se halla en ese instante desierta y concentrada ante el televisor. La selección peruana se juega mucho en el Mundial de fútbol de Argentina. Ocho años después de la publicación de Abril rojo (Premio Alfaguara de novela 2006), su protagonista, Félix Chacaltana, se enfrenta a una nueva serie de crímenes. Estamos en un momento crucial para la historia de Perú. Con la operación Cóndor como telón de fondo, el país se esfuerza por salir de la oscuridad de la dictadura militar con la celebración de las primeras elecciones democráticas en mucho tiempo. Parece que también ha llegado el momento del cambio para Chacaltana, quien se debate entre la obediencia a una madre dominante y su amor por Cecilia, entre el reparo a salir de la protección que supone una vida ordenada y monótona, llena de reglas y procedimientos, y la lealtad a su amigo Joaquín. La pena máxima es un thriller absorbente en el que la política, el fútbol, la lucha por sobrevivir y la muerte se entrelazan con ritmo vibrante. La investigación llevará a Chacaltana a descubrir hasta dónde están dispuestas a llegar algunas personas para defender sus ideales y cómo, en realidad, en el juego de la vida lo peor no es sufrir una falta sino tener que ejecutarla. Esto puede transformarte para siempre.
