El tercer cuerpo
by Martín CaparrósUn policial negro con el Bar Británico, el puente de Pompeya y la discoteca Palladium. En los baños de la mítica discoteca Palladium, Matías Jáuregui, el hijo algo verde de un rancio coronel, escucha una conversación susurrada sobre el escándalo del momento: la profanación de tres tumbas del cementerio de la Recoleta. Para tratar de justificar su membrete de «relaciones públicas», y hacer algún dinero, se le ocurre ofrecer sus servicios a Rafael López Aldabe, pariente de uno de esos cadáveres y, a la vez, turbio empresario al que su propio padre debe favores confusos. Con escenarios tan porteños como el Bar Británico, la Academia y el puente de Pompeya, El tercer cuerpo es una novela ribeteada de humor que, entre dealers, burros, merca y sexo raro, recorre tanto los círculos del hampa como los más tradicionales de una Buenos Aires altamente inflamable bajo la luz siempre incendiaria de los años ochenta. Críticas:«El tercer cuerpo de Caparrós puede considerarse como uno de los textos representativos del policial negro argentino».Martha Barboza, Universidad Nacional de Salta «Las ciudades inmensas y grises son las protagonistas de su obra, que destapan las desigualdades sociales de sus habitantes».Daiane Nora, El País«Su prosa y su mirada son un reactivo fuerte para almas sensibles o amigas de lo políticamente correcto».Leila Guerriero, El País «Caparrós provoca esa necesidad sonriente de subrayar, compartir en redes, reproducir sus trallazos"».Nadal Suau, El Cultural «Convence tanto como seduce».Edmundo Paz Soldán, La Tercera«Un perturbador sistemático, un sembrador de dudas».Francesca Lazzarato, Il Manifesto

El tercer testamento
by Christopher Galt¿Y si tu futuro ya ha sucedido y todos tus recuerdos son mentira...? Un extraño acontecimiento se reproduce en todo el mundo: la gente ha empezado a tener visiones que los llevan a situaciones del pasado o el futuro, que los aterrorizan y conmueven. Hasta pueden experimentar físicamente aquello que creen que están viviendo. Nadie entiende lo que sucede. Nadie está a salvo. En un mundo en que la ciencia se ha constituido como garante del conocimiento y la razón no deja lugar a explicaciones que parecerían esotéricas, estos acontecimientos inexplicables no tienen cabida. Y sin embargo, sí que están sucediendo. Lo que parece una epidemia de alucinaciones se extiende por todo el globo y no respeta fronteras, razas, edad, sexo o condición de cordura. Ni siquiera existe un común denominador que permita tirar del hilo para descubrir cuál es la enfermedad que las causa, si la hubiera.¿Será posible que la historia haya encontrado la manera de repetirse incesablemente? ¿Tendrá todo esto que ver con el proyecto de neurociencia en el que participa John Macbeth y que busca crear una inteligencia artificial autónoma? De Estados Unidos a Dinamarca, de China a Alemania, el mundo se ha vuelto loco y Macbeth parece el único capaz de llegar a averiguar qué está sucediendo.

Teresa of the New World
by Sharman Apt RussellFrom the bestselling author of An Obsession with Butterflies comes a magical story of America in the time of the conquistadors. In 1528, the real-life conquistador Cabeza de Vaca shipwrecked in the New World where he lived for eight years as a slave, trader, and shaman. In this lyrical weaving of history and myth, the adventurer takes his young daughter Teresa from her home in Texas to walk westward into the setting sun, their travels accompanied by miracles--visions and prophecies. But when Teresa reaches the outposts of New Spain, life is not what her father had promised. As a kitchen servant in the household of a Spanish official, Teresa grows up estranged from the magic she knew as a child, when she could speak to the earth and listen to animals. When a new epidemic of measles devastates the area, the sixteen-year-old sets off on her own journey, befriending a Mayan were-jaguar who cannot control his shape-shifting and a warhorse abandoned by his Spanish owner. Now Teresa moves through a land stalked by Plague: smallpox as well as measles, typhus, and scarlet fever. Soon it becomes clear that Teresa and her friends are being manipulated and driven by forces they do not understand. To save herself and others, Teresa will find herself listening again to the earth, sinking underground, swimming through limestone and fossil, opening to the power of root and stone. As she searches for her place in the New World, she will travel farther and deeper than she had ever imagined. Rich in historical detail and scope, Teresa of the New World takes you into the dreamscape of the sixteenth-century American Southwest.

Terminal
by Andrew Vachss"You know why we hate you? Not because you don't know what we know, but because, if you did, you wouldn't give a damn. So I'm sitting here, waiting to commit extortion, and planning a lot worse. I'm what you'd call a criminal. That's why I'll never be you. And I'm proud of it. " --from Terminal When the former shot-caller of the country's most feared white supremacist prison gang contacts Burke, he comes with references . . . and the promise of a huge score. Terminally ill, the ex-con needs major cash to gamble on the long-shot possibility of a cure that's available only in Switzerland. The only card he has to play is a small-time degenerate who paid for protection when they were in prison together. That professional bottom-feeder claims he personally buried the body of a thirteen-year-old girl who had been raped, tortured, and finally killed by three rich men more than thirty years ago--and that he's holding irrefutable proof. But such a complicated extortion scheme needs the hand of a specialist crew, so Burke is offered a piece of the action. He and his outlaw family put together a lethal plan. If they can pull it off, Burke gets the two things he lives for: Money and Revenge. If not, "terminal" could prove to be more than just one man's diagnosis. Terminal is a blistering thriller that forces Burke back in time--to keep a blood-commitment to a brother from his prison past, and to avenge the "cold-cased" rape-murder of a teenage girl.
