Primary Storm
by Brendan DuboisEvery four years, the spotlight of the world turns to the tiny state of New Hampshire, as the voters in its primary help choose the next president of the United States. Usually, Lewis Cole, a magazine columnist and ex-Department of Defense research analyst, tries to stay out of the spotlight. However, when he attends a political rally for the front-running senator, gunfire breaks out, and Lewis becomes the initial suspect in the attempted assassination. With the Secret Service shadowing his every move, with his budding romance with a campaign volunteer in jeopardy, and with the threat of continued violence against him and the candidate, Lewis desperately tries to find out who set him up for the attempted killing, and who is still stalking him. Lewis is operating in the glare of the news media and among aggressive campaign rivals as he also tries to keep secret a decades-old connection with the leading presidential candidate, a secret that could have shattering consequences if revealed. Drawing on his own shadowy government background and with the assistance of his friend Felix Tinios, a man with a foot on each side of the law, Lewis dives into the unsavory world of presidential politics, where secrets are traded for favors, where votes are cast and sometimes discarded, and where a trail of bodies and broken promises can lead to the White House. Once more, DuBois brilliantly goes behind Lewis Cole's quiet existence to the flickering black shadows of his past. Are unknown plotters using his secret DoD record to kill the candidate and pin the murder on Cole? And can Cole outsmart--or outshoot--them before their plan can work?

Una primavera de perros (Subjefe Rocco Schiavone #Volumen 3)
by Antonio ManziniEl irascible subjefe de policía Rocco Schiavone ha seducido a Italia. Cada nuevo episodio de sus aventuras adquiere una dimensión más incisiva y profunda, para deleite de sus cientos de miles de seguidores. Con cada nuevo episodio, este subjefe de policía romano de pura cepa -desterrado a una pequeña ciudad al pie de los Alpes por ciertos comportamientos de dudosa licitud- ha ido adquiriendo una dimensión más incisiva y profunda, para deleite de sus cientos de miles de seguidores. Tras pasarse nueve meses destrozando sus Clarks, pues se niega a calzarse unas botas de montaña apropiadas para la región, Schiavone acoge con escepticismo la llegada de una teórica primavera al valle de Aosta. Su resistencia a someterse a la realidad de aquel lugar, donde ni las estaciones del año son como deberían ser, se refleja también en su labor profesional. Al conocerse el accidente de una furgoneta en el que mueren el conductor y su acompañante, Rocco reacciona con su habitual irritación e intenta desentenderse del asunto. Sin embargo, pocos días después, la desaparición de una joven perteneciente a una rica familia de constructores de la zona despierta su instinto de sabueso: las pesquisas para encontrar a la chica le abren las puertas de un mundo subterráneo que lo deja estupefacto. Rocco conoce muy bien los negocios turbios que se dan en una gran ciudad como la que tanto añora, pero no sospechaba hasta qué punto podía existir algo semejante en ese rincón perdido entre las montañas. Finalmente, Schiavone no tiene más remedio que ponerse manos a la obra, lo que lo obligará a apartar de su mente el espinoso asunto de su relación con la mejor amiga de su última ex, además de un doloroso hecho de su pasado que se niega a aceptar. La crítica ha dicho...«Una de esas historias que se devoran.»La Stampa «Respecto a otros investigadores memorables, como el inspector Coliandro, de Lucarelli, o el aún más famoso comisario Montalbano, de Camilleri, Rocco Schiavone es el campeón de lo políticamente incorrecto.»Gazzetta del Sud «Manzini, actor y guionista, conoce bien las reglas para dar ritmo a una historia y sabe cómo fascinar al lector.»Gazzetta di Parma
La primavera del comisario Ricciardi (Comisario Ricciardi #Volumen 2)
by Maurizio de GiovanniLa segunda aventura del gran comisario Ricciardi.Una serie policíaca distinta. Si pudiera decirlo, lo diría así: me llamo Luigi Alfredo Ricciardi, y veo a los muertos... Así se presentó a sus lectores el comisario Ricciardi en la primera entrega de la serie, y aquí lo tenemos de nuevo, ensimismado y algo melancólico, en abril de 1931, cuando Mussolini vive sus mejores momentos y en la ciudad de Nápoles el viento remueve el ánimo de los ciudadanos. Meditabundo, Ricciardi camina sin sombrero por las callejuelas de la ciudad, esta vez buscando al culpable de la muerte de Carmela Calise, una anciana que vive en un piso miserable y se gana el sustento como vidente. Un buen día la encuentra muerta, desfigurada por una paliza que parece instigada por el odio, y la investigación empieza. Quien ayuda al comisario en su trabajo es Maione, un policía ejemplar, que ahora vive en carne propia las penas del corazón y el dolor de la renuncia. Como siempre en las aventuras de nuestro comisario, el amor y el habre son el origen de todo mal, y algo de ese amor encontraremos incluso en la mirada reservada de Ricciardi, que por la noche espía por la ventana los quehaceres de una señorita de buena familia... La vida oscura de Nápoles en los momentos álgidos del fascismo necesitaba a un napolitano con mucho talento que contara sus historias, y aquí está Maurizio de Giovanni, un hombre que conoce los secretos de su ciudad y de la buena escritura.
