Then the Pied Piper snatches Boldt's own daughter, promising that unless Boldt throws both the Feds and the SPD off his trail he'll never see his child again. Caught between his professional obligations and his fear for Sarah's life, Boldt launches his own private manhunt with the help of John La Moia, his replacement in homicide, and police psychologist Daphne Matthews, his closest friend in the department.They form a sub rosa task force under the noses of the Feds and the SPD, and soon discover how the Piper has managed to stay a step ahead of the police, elude capture, and find his small victims. The chase moves from Seattle to Portland to New Orleans, culminating in a thrilling denouement in the daffodil fields of Washington's Skagit Valley. Combining strong characterizations with an impressive command of both policing and pacing, Ridley Pearson, author of Chain of Evidence and Beyond Recognition, delivers another sure winner in this outing for Lou Boldt. --Jane Adams

La piedra lunar
by Wilkie CollinsLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «¿Recuerdas aquella mañana en que llegué aquí por vez primera con la Piedra Lunar? ¡Ojalá Dios me hubiera impulsado a arrojarla a las arenas movedizas!» La Piedra Lunar, valiosa joya robada de un santuario hindú y de la que se cuentan toda clase de leyendas maléficas, llega a las manos de Raquel Verinder, heredera de un lord inglés, como regalo de cumpleaños. Sin embargo, después de la cena de celebración la gema desaparece. El sargento Cuff será el encargado de desentrañar una verdad que permanece oculta tras las diferentes versiones de los hechos que ofrece cada uno de los personajes implicados. Abre el volumen un estudio introductorio de la reputada investigadora del Victoria and Albert Museum Sandra Kemp. Asimismo, Horacio Laurora vierte fielmente a nuestra lengua la que, según T. S. Eliot, es «la primera, la más larga y la mejor de las novelas detectivescas inglesas modernas».
La piedra lunar
by Wilkie CollinsAños más tarde, su sobrina, una joven adinerada de la sociedad victoriana, hereda la joya por su cumpleaños. Pero la piedra no viaja sola. Tres hindúes siguen sus pasos para recuperar la piedra sagrada. ¿Serán ellos los culpables de la desaparición de la Piedra Lunar esa misma noche? ¿ O alguien se les ha adelantado?Años antes de la aparición de Sherlock Holmes y su descendencia literaria, Wilkie Collins inauguró el género de las novelas de detectives con La Piedra Lunar. En ella parte de una desaparición aparentemente insoluble y recurre a una original estructura narrativa para desentrañar el misterio. Ante la dificultad para resolver el caso, cada uno de los testigos debe escribir detalladamente lo que vio y escuchó durante esos días. Collins despliega así su talento literario y su profundo conocimiento de la condición humana, y consigue perfilar nitidamente a cada uno de los personajes a través de las sospechas, posibles motivaciones e historias secundarias que surgen en sus testimonios, así como por medio de un contraste satírico de sus interpretaciones, en ocasiones opuestas. Una obra maestra que nos presenta una serie de hechos misteriosos desde los dispares puntos de vista de unos personajes inolvidables.

Pierced
by Thomas EngerFrom the internationally bestselling author of Burned ("Possibly the best $15 you'll spend on a mystery this year." --Bookpage) comes a taut and riveting tale of secrets, betrayals, and a dangerous quest for the truth. If you find out who set me up, I'll tell you what happened the day your son died. That is the message crime reporter Henning Juul--back at work after being terribly burned and scarred for life in a fire that killed his son--receives from a jailed extortionist named Tore Pulli who's been convicted for a murder he claims he didn't commit. Truth has never meant more for Henning Juul. And when Pulli is found dead in his prison cell--an apparent suicide--Juul decides to dig deeper. He knows the murders Pulli was convicted of do not bear his signature, and he's convinced that Pulli would never have taken his own life. Striking up a fragile partnership with Iver Gundersen, a journalist now living with Juul's ex-wife, Juul uncovers an internal power struggle in the gang world, where the desire for serious money is destroying the traditional, honor-based hierarchy. Uncovering more questions than answers, Henning soon realizes that he has to find not one but several killers . . . ruthless murderers who have never been more dangerous than they are now.
The Pierced Heart
by Lynn ShepherdThe shadow of Bram Stoker's Dracula looms large over the darkest mystery yet faced by Victorian detective Charles Maddox--as the acclaimed author of The Solitary House and A Fatal Likeness once again pays homage to a literary classic, in a chilling tale of superstition, dangerous science, and shocking secrets. When an Austrian nobleman offers a substantial donation to the University of Oxford, Charles Maddox is called on to investigate the generous benefactor. It is a decidedly mundane task for the increasingly renowned criminal investigator, but Maddox welcomes the chance to trade London's teeming streets for the comforts of a castle in the Viennese countryside. Comfort, however, is in short supply once Maddox steps onto foreign soil--and into the company of the mysterious Baron Von Reisenberg. A man of impeccable breeding, the Baron is nonetheless the subject of frightened whispers and macabre legends. Though Maddox isn't one to entertain supernatural beliefs, the dank halls and foreboding shadows of the castle begin to haunt his sleep with nightmares. But in the light of day the veteran detective can find no evidence of the sinister--until a series of disturbing incidents prove him gravely mistaken and thrust him into a harrowing quest to expose whatever evil lurks behind the locked doors of the Baron's secretive domain. After a terrifying encounter nearly costs him his sanity, Maddox is forced to return home defeated--and still pursued by the horror he's unearthed. Owing to a string of gruesome murders committed by an elusive predator branded the Vampire, London is on the verge of widespread panic. But there's little doubt in Maddox's mind who is responsible. And whether his enemy proves merely mortal--or something more--Maddox must finally end the monstrous affair . . . before more innocent blood is spilled.
