Ta mort sera mon oeuvre
by Claudio HernándezLes meurtres sont ses œuvres majeures. Tout commence pendant la Journée du livre, sur les Ramblas de Barcelone. Un peintre, assis sur le trottoir, apporte ses dernières touches à la toile qu’il considère comme sa pièce maîtresse. C’est un bras amputé, des ciseaux de chirurgien sont plantés dans les veines et les tendons. C’est le même bras que celui qu’on aperçoit, pendant tout en haut de la maison Battló. Au même moment, à l’autre bout des Ramblas, surgit un homme, habillé comme le peintre Anton Van Dyck sur son tableau représentant un manchot. L'un de ses bras a été tranché, et il se vide de son sang. Un thriller noir, chargé de sang, de suspense et de mystère qui emporte le lecteur à travers l’enquête de l’un des inspecteurs les plus réputés de l’UCO, Andrés López.
TABERNACLE
by Thomas H. CookHe kills according to the will of God. He believes in the mission that God has made manifest to him: to restore the sanctity of the Mormon Church. The means to this purification will be multiple murder. The streets of Salt Lake City run straight and clean. The Mormons, God's chosen people on Earth, are upright and moral. Nestled between the Great Salt Lake and the Blue Mountains, the Mormons have built up a City of God, dedicated to God and to the faith that His revealed Word will prevail. But among the citizens of Salt Lake there is one man not content to rest on faith, one man who is moved to act on it. And he acts without qualm or question or mercy. Against this killer stands Detective Tom Jackson of the Salt Lake police. Jackson, originally a New York City cop, is an outsider in a city of insiders, a man searching for his lost ideals as well as for an insane killer. He must cut through official ineptitude, blindness, and cover-up to get to the shattering truth at the center of the Tabernacle, at the dark heart of the Mormon faith.
La tabla de Flandes
by Arturo Pérez-ReverteUn enigma del pasado y un misterio del presente se unen en un apasionante juego de trampas. A finales del siglo XV un viejo maestro flamenco introduce en uno de sus cuadros, en forma de partida de ajedrez, la clave de un secreto que pudo cambiar la historia de Europa. Cinco siglos después, una joven restauradora de arte, un anticuario homosexual y un excéntrico jugador de ajedrez unen sus fuerzas para tratar de resolver el enigma. La investigación les conducirá a través de una apasionante pesquisa en la que los movimientos del juego irán abriendo las puertas de un misterio que acabará por envolver a todos sus protagonistas. La tabla de Flandes es un apasionante juego de trampas e inversiones -pintura, música, literatura, historia, lógica matemática- que Arturo Pérez-Reverte encaja con diabólica destreza. La crítica ha dicho...«Un trabajo elegante, refinado, enloquecedoramente inteligente.»The New York Times «En el detalle de su background intelectual recuerda a las novelas de Umberto Eco... difícil dejar de leerlo.»Times Literary Supplement «Construcción rigurosa, dominio magistral del juego entre el presente y el pasado. Es casi perfecta.»Le Monde

Un peligroso juego de amenazas e intereses ocultos que cambiará la vida de los protagonistas para siempre. Madrid, en la actualidad: hasta que El Astrólogo se cruzó en su camino, Ana, una joven historiadora del arte del Museo del Prado, llevaba una vida tranquila junto a Konrad, un rico empresario y coleccionista de arte alemán. Pero de repente llega a sus manos una carta escrita durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial que los pone sobre la pista del misterioso cuadro atribuido a Giorgione, el enigmático pintor del Renacimiento. Alentado por el enorme valor de El Astrólogo, Konrad convence a Ana para embarcarse en su búsqueda. La joven, consciente de todas las dificultades que se le presentan, pedirá ayuda al doctor Alain Arnoux de la Universidad de la Sorbona, especialista en localizar obras de arte expoliadas por los nazis. Pero esta decisión solo parece complicarle las cosas. París, durante la ocupación alemana: el comandante de las SS, Georg von Bergheim, militar de élite y héroe de guerra, acaba de recibir una orden: debe encontrar el paradero de un cuadro de Giorgione conocido como El Astrólogo. Hitler está convencido de que la obra esconde un gran enigma, una revelación que ha pasado de mano en mano durante siglos. La búsqueda conduce al comandante hasta la joven judía Sarah Bauer, iniciándose entre ellos una persecución trepidante que tendrá consecuencias totalmente inesperadas para ambos. La autora Julia Navarro opina...«Una gran novela ambientada en una época dramática que me ha atrapado y emocionado.»

Tabú
by Ferdinand von SchirachVon Schirach vuelve a desplegar su mirada penetrante y sensible a las turbulencias internas del ser humano y su preocupación por las grandes cuestiones éticas de nuestro tiempo. En esta novela Von Schirach replantea algunos de los grandes interrogantes de siempre: la validez del sistema de justicia en casos excepcionales, con la consiguiente justificación de transgredir o no la ley vigente. Nacido en una familia aristocrática venida a menos, Sebastian von Eschburg es un niño solitario e introvertido, con una madre que sólo se interesa por las carreras de caballos y un padre alcoholizado y aficionado a la caza, a quien, no obstante, lo une un fuerte vínculo. Con el tiempo, la extraordinaria percepción del color que posee Sebastian transformará al niño sensible y vulnerable en un famoso fotógrafo, un artista internacionalmente reconocido que plasma en sus obras una tormentosa relación entre ficción y realidad, verdad e ilusión. Sin embargo, en un giro inesperado, su vida cambia por completo cuando una llamada telefónica a la policía lo convierte de la noche a la mañana en el presunto asesino de una joven desaparecida. La crítica ha dicho...«La fluida y elegante prosa de Von Schirach nos presenta a un antihéroe acusado de asesinato, que ve el mundo en colores demasiado vivos, y a su engreído abogado defensor, que lo ve todo con matices grises. De ahí resulta una desconcertante mezcla de clímax y anticlímax, de tensión y humor, de mentiras y verdades, y una novela tan singular e intrigante como su protagonista.»The Guardian «Von Schirach narra la infancia del personaje principal con las hermosas y diáfanas frases que ya convirtieron en bestsellers sus dos libros anteriores, Crímenes y Culpa, transformando los casos judiciales en una narrativa sobresaliente.»Die Welt «Un libro que desconcierta tanto como emociona.»Sonntag «Tabú es una prueba de que las obras maestras también pueden escribirse en un lenguaje sencillo y lacónico.»Dorstener Zeitung «Von Schirach es un autor extraordinario, y Tabú, una obra muy lograda. [...] Los giros son asombrosos no sólo en lo que respecta al contenido, sino también conceptualmente.»Fabelhafte Bücher «Un libro breve, enigmático y fascinante.»The Observer «El mayor logro de Von Schirach es demostrarnos que, por monstruosos que puedan parecer sus actos, el ser humano nunca deja de ser humano.»Libération

Tail Gait: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery (Mrs. Murphy #24)
by Rita Mae BrownThere's nothing like a tail well told. Rita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown return with an all-new mystery featuring Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, crime-solving cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and ever-faithful Tee Tucker the corgi. TAIL GAIT Spring has sprung in Crozet, Virginia--a time for old friends to gather and bid farewell to the doldrums of winter. Harry and her husband, Fair, are enjoying a cozy dinner with some of the town's leading citizens, including beloved University of Virginia history professor Greg "Ginger" McConnell and several members of UVA's celebrated 1959 football team. But beneath the cloak of conviviality lurks a sinister specter from the distant past that threatens to put all their lives in jeopardy. When Professor McConnell is found murdered on the golf course the next day--gunned down in broad daylight by an unseen killer--no one can fathom a motive, let alone find a suspect. Just as Harry and her furry cohorts begin nosing into the case, however, a homeless UVA alum confesses to the crime. Trouble is, no one believes that the besotted former All-American could have done the foul deed--especially after Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker make another gruesome discovery. As the questions surrounding Ginger's death pile up, Harry's search for answers takes her down the fascinating byways of Virginia's Revolutionary past. The professor was something of a sleuth himself, it seems, and the centuries-old mystery he was unraveling may well have put a target on his back. As Harry edges closer to identifying an elusive killer, her animal companions sense danger--and rally to find a way to keep Harry from disappearing into history. Praise for the Mrs. Murphy mysteries "As feline collaborators go, you couldn't ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown."--The New York Times Book ReviewFrom the Hardcover edition.
