On retire l'Agent Spécial Ty Grady de sa mission d'infiltration après l'échec de celle-ci. Il est arrogant, abrasif, mais aussi indiscutablement le meilleur dans sa branche. Mais quand on l'associe à l'Agent Spécial Zane Garrett, c'est la haine au premier coup d'œil. Garrett est la parfaite image d'un agent : sérieux, sobre et concentré, ce qui fait de leur partenariat un cliché parfait ; totalement opposés, le bon et le mauvais flic, le couple improbable. Ils se rendent compte d'emblée que leur partenariat leur causera plus de problèmes que le manque de preuves laissées par le meurtrier. Pratiquement avant que leur affectation ne commence, le meurtrier frappe à nouveau - s'en prenant cette fois à eux. Maintenant en cavale, essayant d'attraper un homme qui fera tout pour tuer ses poursuivants, Grady et Garrett devront apprendre à travailler ensemble avant qu'ils ne deviennent deux encoches de plus sur le couteau du meurtrier.

Tras las puertas cerradas
by Gloria Cifuentes Dowling Brian L. PorterEn el nebuloso Londres victoriano, un despiadado asesino serial anda suelto. Mientras sus habitantes se horrorizan con la ola de crímenes perpetrados por Jack, el destripador, otra bestia menos conocida se pasea libremente por sus calles. La prensa oculta en sus páginas interiores apenas un puñado de artículos que narran los extraños crímenes ocurridos a bordo de los carros del ferrocarril metropolitano de la ciudad. Cada asesinato se produce exactamente un día después de los crímenes perpetrados por El Destripador, como si su autor quisiera sacar ventaja de la falta de recursos policiales para enfrentar dos grandes investigaciones simultáneamente. El inspector Albert Norris está a cargo de llevar al asesino del ferrocarril ante la justicia, pero las pistas son pocas y los motivos que mueven al homicida no del todo claros. Norris se ve forzado a realizar su investigación en silencio y sin generar pánico, pues las autoridades intentan que la población londinense no pierda la confianza en la seguridad del sistema ferroviario local. La prensa sabe todavía menos del caso y Norris cuenta con escasa ayuda de sus superiores para resolver la inexplicable seguidilla de asesinatos. “Tras las puertas cerradas” de Brian L. Porter es una apasionante novela policial victoriana que transcurre en aquellos terribles y oscuros días del Otoño del Terror.

Todo parece ir bien hasta el momento en que Cimmeria se convierte en un lugar terriblemente peligroso donde nadie parece a salvo.Allie tendrá que elegir en quién confiar mientras descubre los secretos de la escuela. Comentarios:«Lo que más me ha gustado de este libro es lo impredecible que es... Hasta la última parte no se aclaraba del todo el misterio e incluso entonces no estaba segura de si lo que estaba ocurriendo era real. Night School ha sido eso justo algo así, que te mantiene todos tus sentidos en alerta pero no sabes hasta el final qué es lo que está pasando. ¡Night School es un emocionante comienzo de una saga que estoy ansiosa por descubrir!»ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES «Night School es adictivo. Muy adictivo. Me lo he leído muy rápido y al terminarlo me quedé con ganas de más. 451 páginas no han sido suficientes para mí. Por encima de todo, Night School ha sido para mí una lectura apasionante y cautivadora, con grandes personajes y una historia que te mantiene enganchado durante horas. ¡Muy recomendable!»PLANET PRINT «En la Academia Cimmeria hay misterio, asesinatos, algo de mutilación ¡y chicos, chicos, chicos! Y por supuesto una chica malvada... Nada es lo que parece... Night School comienza un poco lento pero pronto despega y no puedes parar de leer con las ganas de saber qué les pasará a los protagonistas de la Academia Cimmeria. Estoy desesperada por poder leer el segundo libro porque el final está lleno de misterio. Creo que la fiesta solo acaba de empezar...»NOVELS ON THE RUN Los blogs han dicho:«Podemos definir Night School como una novela increíble. Entre sus páginas se esconden amor, celos, mentiras, venganza, amistad y misterio. ¿Qué más pedir? Sin duda Night School es una gran apuesta, con una gran historia, que no puedes dejar pasar.»Página tras página «Sin prisa pero sin pausa, Daugherty hace su debut en la novela juvenil con una serie que promete cosas interesantes. A buen ritmo, la autora nos adentra en los muros de Cimmeria, sus normas y sus clases durante buena parte de la historia. Tampoco escatima en detalles con sus personajes. Los alumnos de Cimmeria no caen en tópicos pues cuando menos lo esperes darán un giro inesperado y dejarán a la protagonista dudando hasta de su sombra. Novios y ex-novios, amigas, envidias, cotilleos, ruidos en el tejado y mucha sangre derramada, ¿a quién confiará su vida?»Midnight Eclipse «Recomendada para todos aquellos que quieran leer una novela de suspense y verdades a medias.»La pluma del ángel caído

And the price Carrie might pay for asking the wrong questions could be her life.
Trauma
by Patrick McgrathHailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as "an uncommon storyteller [with a] trademark ability to probe the layers of the human psyche," Patrick McGrath has written his most addictive and enthralling novel yet.Charlie Weir's family is comprehensively dysfunctional -- abandoned by his father, his mother ravaged by that betrayal, and his brother, Walt, a successful artist, less Charlie's ally than his rival. So it's hardly surprising that he should find a vocation in psychiatry in New York City, counseling traumatized war veterans returning home from Vietnam. Agnes Magill, the sister of one damaged soldier, soon becomes Charlie's wife. But the suicide of her brother, Danny, ends the marriage, leaving Charlie to endure a corrosive loneliness even as Manhattan grows steadily more dirty and dangerous around him.Then, in the haunting aftermath of Charlie's mother's death, Agnes returns to offer him the solace that he has never been able to provide for her. Almost simultaneously, he is presented with a quite different anodyne -- a volatile woman whose irresistible beauty, tinged though it is with an air of grievous suffering, jeopardizes everything he has hoped might restore his dwindling faith in his calling, his future and himself.As Charlie's hold on sanity weakens, and events conspire to send him reeling headlong toward the abyss, the themes of family, passion and madness - by now synonymous with Patrick McGrath's writing -- rightly assume "the inevitability of myth," as Tobias Wolff has written of his work, in "fiction of a depth and power we hardly hope to encounter anymore." A genuine psychological thriller, Trauma is an experience at once unnerving, unsettling and utterly riveting.From the Hardcover edition.
