As the winter holidays approach, two young lovers share their dreams for the future, a corrupt bank officer fears the exposure of his crimes, and a wealthy matron, concerned only with status and prestige, wonders how she can ensure a marriage between her daughter and the scion of one of the city&’s most important families. But on Christmas Day, when a terrible fire lights up the sky, all these petty human concerns become meaningless. And the destruction and horror wrought on that awful morning will only be the beginning of the end.
Tomorrow and Tomorrow
by Thomas Sweterlitsch"Thomas Sweterlitsch is a superstar. ... Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a brutal, beautiful book. Read it." --Jesse Kellerman, internationally bestselling author of Trouble "Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a rich, absorbing, relentlessly inventive mindfuck, a smart, dark noir... a wild mash-up of Raymond Chandler, Philip K. Dick, and William S. Burroughs and, like their work, utterly visionary." --Stewart O'Nan, author of The Odds "Strong debut...vivid and compelling." --Publishers Weekly Yesterday can't last forever... A decade has passed since the city of Pittsburgh was reduced to ash. While the rest of the world has moved on, losing itself in the noise of a media-glutted future, survivor John Dominic Blaxton remains obsessed with the past. Grieving for his wife and unborn child who perished in the blast, Dominic relives his lost life by immersing in the Archive--a fully interactive digital reconstruction of Pittsburgh, accessible to anyone who wants to visit the places they remember and the people they loved. Dominic investigates deaths recorded in the Archive to help close cases long since grown cold, but when he discovers glitches in the code surrounding a crime scene--the body of a beautiful woman abandoned in a muddy park that he's convinced someone tried to delete from the Archive--his cycle of grief is shattered. With nothing left to lose, Dominic tracks the murder through a web of deceit that takes him from the darkest corners of the Archive to the ruins of the city itself, leading him into the heart of a nightmare more horrific than anything he could have imagined.

Tongolele no sabía bailar
by Sergio Ramírez«El que hace sombra, pierde el cuerpo y pierde la sombra —dijo Lord Dixon—. Apunte esa frase, camarada, que es de mi propia cosecha.» Estamos en pleno siglo XXI, en una Nicaragua en la que se están viviendo unas revueltas populares que son reprimidas brutalmente por el gobierno, apoyado en el siniestro brazo ejecutor del jefe de los servicios secretos. El inspector Dolores Morales debe enfrentarse en la distancia con ese ser terrible apodado Tongolele, responsable último de su exilio en Honduras, que mueve con frialdad y cinismo, en parte gracias a los consejos adivinatorios de su madre, muchos hilos de la desquiciada política del país. La magistral prosa de Sergio Ramírez va desvelando poco a poco un entramado turbio, lleno de secretismos, traiciones y oscuras maniobras al que tendrá que enfrentarse el inspector Morales, respaldado por el inefable Lord Dixon, doña Sofía Smith y el resto desus socios. Porque, en esa Nicaragua siempre turbulenta, cualquier paso puede darse en falso y provocar el derrumbe definitivo de aquel que decida enfrentarse de algún modo, por ridículo que sea, al poder establecido. «Aúna la narración, la poesía y el rigor del observador y el actor[y] refleja la viveza de la vida cotidiana convirtiendo la realidad en una obra de arte, todo ello con excepcional altura literaria y en pluralidad de géneros.» Jurado del Premio Cervantes La crítica ha dicho: «Sergio Ramírez me ha parecido siempre un ser humano extraordinario [...]. Su vida es una mezcla ardiente de una doble pasión: las palabras y la justicia. Las palabras como un delirio, como un juego, como un reto, como un placer. La justicia convertida en el diario afán con que ama, reniega y lucha por Nicaragua.» Ángeles Mastretta «El primer cuentista vivo en el continente latinoamericano, y uno de los mejores en español, heredero de las armas de Cortázar y Monterroso [...]. Por cada cuento un mundo.» Javier Sancho Más, Babelia «Sergio Ramírez se ha sobrepuesto a los reveses con una escritura poblada de personajes refugiados en el cinismo y el humor, negro a ser posible, como antídoto contra la decepción y el desengaño.» Fernando Goitia, XL Semanal «Una novela adictiva. Es alta literatura, en ella todo está paladeado y escrito con esa capacidad que sólo tienen los buenos escritores de ir más allá.» Luisgé Martín (sobre Ya nadie llora por mí) «Denuncia explícita de la corrupción como sustento del régimen.» Juan Cruz (sobre Ya nadie llora por mí)
