by Rita Monaldi Francesco SortiA papal conspiracy is revealed in the midst of a plague in this Italian historical thriller that sparked controversy with the Vatican. Rome, 1683. The citizens anxiously await new of the battle for Vienna as Ottoman forces lay siege to the defenders of Catholic Europe.

The Sect of Angels
by Andrea CamilleriIn this dark yet humorous novel based on a true story, a man uncovers a sordid conspiracy in a Sicilian village, but not everyone wants to know the truth.Lawyer and journalist Matteo Teresi discovers the existence of a secret sect whose members include priests, politicians, and regional VIPs. During the early morning hours, when the town’s churches are closed, the “Sect of the Angels” meets in the sacristy to carry out their holy office: initiating devout virgins into the rites of married life. Preying on their victims’ naivete, the hooded “elect” commit ignominious acts while promising the young women divine grace.In 1901, at a time of immense changes in Sicilian society, the scandal breaks nationwide. But far from being hailed as a hero, Teresi is accused of disrupting the status quo and irrationally blamed for an outbreak of disease and a series of calamities. From the salons, churches and social clubs of Sicily to the country’s highest courts, Camilleri’s novel is a fast-paced, at times funny, passionately rendered portrait of the machinations of power and the difficult destiny of a local hero.Praise for The Sect of Angels“A devastating portrait of how political power, the mafia, Catholic cover-ups, and family shame kept rural Sicily in a medieval time warp long into the twentieth century.” —Foreword Reviews

La secta perfecta
by Carlos Basso PrietoLos secretos más oscuros de Colonia Dignidad, develados por uno de los periodistas que más ha investigado el tema. Colonia Dignidad fue, antes que nada, una secta religiosa creada por dos predicadores callejeros expulsados de la Iglesia Bautista alemana y que, como toda secta peligrosa, fue formada para satisfacer básicamente los impulsos sexuales de su líder, la pederastia, en ese caso. La de Paul Schaefer fue una secta de manual. No solo manipuló místicamente a sus seguidores y les despojó de su dinero, sus pensiones e incluso sus hijos. Y cuando la creencia en las supuestas cualidades mesiánicas de su líder ya no fueron suficientes, no trepidó en drogarlos, golpearlos, torturarlos y asesinarlos para evitar que huyeran. Esta secta corrompió casi todo el entramado judicial y policial de la zona donde se alojaba, con un solo objetivo: lograr que las autoridades no investigaran las denuncias por adopciones ilegales, violaciones y otros delitos aberrantes cometidos en contra de niños indefensos y de sus padres. Existen múltiples testimonios que dejan muy en claro que, debido a la forma en que Schäfer predicaba “la palabra de dios” y sus técnicas de dominación física, Colonia Dignidad, está al nivel de las principales sectas de la historia mundial, como Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, la secta Aum o los Davidianos de Waco.

Security: A Novel
by Gina Wohlsdorf“Original and imaginative . . . Ripping suspense, sheer terror, and a wrenching love story.” —Sandra Brown, New York Times bestselling author of FrictionThe terrible truth about Manderley is that someone is always watching. Manderley Resort is a gleaming, new twenty-story hotel on the California coast. It’s about to open its doors, and the world--at least those with the means to afford it--will be welcomed into a palace of opulence and unparalleled security. But someone is determined that Manderley will never open. The staff has no idea that their every move is being watched, and over the next twelve hours they will be killed off, one by one. Writing in the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, and with a deep bow to Daphne du Maurier, author Gina Wohlsdorf pairs narrative ingenuity and razor-wire prose with quick twists, sharp turns, and gasp-inducing terror. Security is grand guignol storytelling at its very best. A shocking thriller, a brilliant narrative puzzle, and a multifaceted love story unlike any other, Security marks the debut of a fearless and gifted writer. “Be surprised, be very surprised: Gina Wohlsdorf brings more than just plot twists and a terrifically tender love story to this thriller . . . It’s her playful homage to Hitchcock and du Maurier that had me reading, howling, and just plain loving this novel.” —Sara Gruen, author of At the Water’s Edge “Grand Hotel meets Psycho in the age of surveillance . . . Security is cinematically vivid, crisply written, and sharp enough to cut . . . Wohlsdorf brilliantly subverts our expectations of the action genre in this smart, shocking, poignant thriller.” —Emily Croy Barker, author of The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic “The thrill of this novel goes beyond its wickedly clever, split-screen, high-tech wizardry—a kind of video gamer’s literary retake of Hitchcock’s Rear Window--and emanates from its strange, disembodied narrator . . . The effect is terrifying, sexy, dizzying, and impossible to look away from.” —Tim Johnston, author of Descent “Shocking and filled with Tarantino-ish dark humor. . . Structurally reminiscent of the amazing Jennifer Egan,Wohlsdorf’s book is certainly a hybrid, like nothing else. Get ready.” —Ann Beattie, author of The State We’re In “Flawless . . . Security is perfectly tuned for blockbuster status . . . They don’t make a hotel big enough to house all the people who will want to read this, and soon, as in Manderley, all eyes will be on Wohlsdorf.” —Daniel Kraus, Booklist, starred review
