La sustancia del mal
by Luca D'AndreaEl thriller literario del año. No devorarás este libro: este libro te devorará a ti. En 1985, durante una terrible tormenta, tres jóvenes son brutalmente asesinados en el Bletterbach, un enorme cañón tirolés cuyos fósiles cuentan la historia del mundo. Treinta años más tarde, el documentalista estadounidense Jeremiah Salinger se instala en la pequeña localidad alpina junto a su mujer y su hija pequeña y, a medida que va conociendo a los habitantes de la comunidad, se obsesiona con ese caso nunca resuelto. Nadie a su alrededor desea remover el pasado, como si aquel sangriento acontecimiento llevara consigo una maldición, y todos parecen esconder secretos inconfesables. Reseñas:«A lo Misery de Stephen King, [...] con iconos privados y muertes súbitas. [...] Me ha llamado la atención el que ninguno de los críticos que han abordado este relato brutal haya citado a Patricia Highsmith, siendo como es, a mi entender, una ascendiente ambiental de D'Andrea.»Alfredo Taján, Sur «El libro os iluminará salvajemente y entenderéis por qué se ha traducido a más de 30 idiomas. Pues, como decía más o menos Pierre Lemaitre, en literatura, el crimen es tan poderoso como el amor. Y (aquí) hay mucho de ambos. [...] La identidad del asesino o asesinos no se nos revelará hasta la última página. Por entre medio gozaremos de múltiples indicios, líneas de sondeo que son un atolladero, giros inesperados y escenas de magnífica ternura en oposición a otras de gran tensión y discreta elegancia narrativa.»Ramón Ventura, El Periódico de Cataluña «Novela negra con misterios oscuros en el paisaje, en la línea de un Theorin o una Dolores Redondo.»Ernest Alós, El Periódico de Catalunya «Hay libros que de pronto estallan, como los volcanes. Es muy raro que esto pase con una primera novela, pero nadie sabe en realidadpor qué sucede. D'Andrea ha escrito libros para niños y guiones para series de televisión. Pero tenía una historia que contar. [...] Impresionantes las escenas del protagonista con la Bestia, el alma del hielo blanco que te acompaña suavemente a la muerte. El enorme éxito no es casualidad.»Luis Algorri, Tiempo «La visión de la naturaleza como un ser temible, «la Bestia» en el caso de la montaña traicionera, es elemento esencial del relato. [...]. Brutalidad humana y natural. Secretos y silencios. Sospechas a primera vista sólidas que se quiebran como algunas piedras. Suspense oscuro hasta el final bajo la claridad de las nieves.»Fernando García, La Vanguardia «Un thriller electrizante y adrenalínico [...]. Una obra que atrapa porque combina los mejores ingredientes del género -ritmo muy ágil, giros sorprendentes y una espantosa amenaza del pasado- y en la que encontramos rastros de Stieg Larsson, Joël Dicker y de los grandes Stephen King oJo Nesbø.»Mía «Excelente novela. Sobresaliente. Stephen King es el REY, pero que se aparte Nesbo, este es superior. MUY RECOMENDABLE.»Pere Sureda, director editorial de Navona «Hay heridas que se cierran y se olvidan y otras que permanecen entreabiertas bajo capas de rutina, esperando el detonante que las haga sangrar nuevamente. Con el escalpelo de un cirujano llega desde Italia un escritor que reabre estas heridas a su antojo, al servicio de un thriller inolvidable. [...] Se llama Luca D'Andrea.»Raquel Jiménez Jiménez, Zenda «El thriller italiano que todo el mundo quiere publicar.»Il Post «En el campo del thriller es difícil ser original, pero Luca D'Andrea ha logrado escalar, hacha de hielo en mano, la pared rocosa de la ficción internacional de suspense.»Luca Crovi, Il Giornale «La naturaleza es la verdadera estrella, amenazadora, indomable. Una montaña que no perdona, un horror en la

Suzy's Case
by Andy SiegelThis wild ride of a debut thriller is packed with insider details that reveal the fascinating world of a New York lawyer who'll stop at nothing to secure justice. Introducing Tug Wyler, a dogged and irreverent New York City personal injury and medical malpractice attorney. He is as at home on the streets as he is in the courtroom, and larger than life in both places. Once you've met him, you won't ever forget him. When Henry Benson, a high-profile criminal lawyer known for his unsavory clients, recruits Tug to take over a long-pending multimillion-dollar lawsuit representing a tragically brain-damaged child, his instructions are clear: get us out of it; there is no case. Yet the moment Tug meets the disabled but gallant little Suzy Williams and June, her beautiful, resourceful mother, all bets are off. With an offbeat, self-mocking style, Tug Wyler's a far cry from your ordinary lawyer. Unswerving in his dedication to his mostly disadvantaged clients, he understands only too well how badly they need him with the system stacked against them. Tug is honest about his own shortcomings, many of them of the profoundly politically incorrect variety, and his personal catchphrase, handy in all situations, is "At least I admit it." When his passionate commitment to Suzy's case thrusts him into a surreal, often violent sideshow, the ensuing danger only sharpens his obsession with learning what really happened to Suzy. Blending razor-sharp intuition, intellectual toughness, and endlessly creative legal brinkmanship, Tug determinedly works his way through a maze of well-kept secrets--encountering a cast of memorably eccentric characters along the way--to get to the truth. Among the many fresh-to-the-genre pleasures of Suzy's Case is its eye-opening portrait of the brutally tough world of medical malpractice law in New York City, an aggressive, very-big-bucks, winner-takes-all game in which lawyers relentlessly cut corners, deals--and throats. With Andy Siegel as the expert guide to his daily home turf, that largely unseen medicolegal universe, where life--and death--always have a price, you'll experience its addictive, risk-taking reality. The result is a stunning debut as gripping as it is unexpected, as rollicking as it is compassionate, revealing Andy Siegel to be a bright new voice of remarkable energy, wit, and style.
