Try Not to Breathe
by Holly SeddonFor fans of Gillian Flynn, Laura Lippman, and Paula Hawkins comes Holly Seddon's arresting fiction debut--an engrossing thriller full of page-turning twists and turns, richly imagined characters, and gripping psychological suspense. Some secrets never die. They're just locked away. Alex Dale is lost. Destructive habits have cost her a marriage and a journalism career. All she has left is her routine: a morning run until her body aches, then a few hours of forgettable work before the past grabs hold and drags her down. Every day is treading water, every night is drowning. Until Alex discovers Amy Stevenson. Amy Stevenson, who was just another girl from a nearby town until the day she was found unconscious after a merciless assault. Amy Stevenson, who has been in a coma for fifteen years, forgotten by the world. Amy Stevenson, who, unbeknownst to her doctors, remains locked inside her body, conscious but paralyzed, reliving the past. Soon Alex's routine includes visiting hours at the hospital, then interviews with the original suspects in the attack. But what starts as a reporter's story becomes a personal obsession. How do you solve a crime when the only witness lived but cannot tell the tale? Unable to tear herself away from her attempt to uncover the unspeakable truth, Alex realizes she's not just chasing a story--she's seeking salvation. Shifting from present to past and back again, Try Not to Breathe unfolds layer by layer until its heart-stopping conclusion. The result is an utterly immersive, unforgettable debut. Advance praise for Try Not to Breathe "A razor-sharp, fast-paced plot and wonderfully complex characters . . . Not since The Girl on the Train have I been so captivated by a work of suspense."--New York Times bestselling author Tess GerritsenFrom the Hardcover edition.

Tsar
by Theodore A. BellThere dwells, somewhere in Russia, a man so powerful no one even knows his name. His existence is only speculated upon, only whispered about in American corridors of power and CIA strategy meetings. Though he is all but invisible, he is pulling strings -- and pulling them hard. For suddenly, Russia is a far, far more ominous threat than even the most hardened cold warriors ever thought possible. The Russians have their finger on the switch to the European economy and an eye on the American jugular. And, most importantly, they want to be made whole again. Should America interfere with Russia's plans to "reintegrate" her rogue states, well then, America will pay in blood. In Ted Bell's latest pulse-pounding and action-packed tour de force, Alex Hawke must face a global nightmare of epic proportions. As this political crisis plays out, Russia gains a new leader. Not just a president, but a new tsar, a signal to the world that the old, imperial Russia is back and plans to have her day. And in America, a mysterious killer, known only as Happy the Baker, brutally murders an innocent family and literally flattens the small Midwestern town they once called home. Just a taste, according to the new tsar, of what will happen if America does not back down. Onto this stage must step Alex Hawke, espionage agent extraordinaire and the only man, both Americans and the Brits agree, who can stop the absolute madness borne and bred inside the modern police state of Vladimir Putin's 'New Russia'.

Tu maldita voz en mi memoria
by María EstévezEspionaje, traición, envidia. Nadie es quien dice ser en esta historia sobre una familia española durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. ¿Puede un famoso brillante destrozar la vida de una familia? La historia de una joya heredada por dos hermanas en los albores del nazismo. Tánger es escenario de una trama de espionaje entre aliados y nazis por conseguir una ruta a través de África, para el tráfico de diamantes necesarios para los tanques. El amor entre una joven católica y un hombre judío, y la lucha por sobrevivir en una sociedad acelerada por el progreso tensan la trama de una novela que se desarrolla en una época tan fascinante como convulsa. Reseñas:«Una intriga plena de ambición y traiciones en torno a una de la gemas más valiosas del mundo.»El Correo «Estévez ha urdido un engranaje complejo y sofisticado que consigue atrapar con imágenes y personajes deslumbrantes.»Llámamelista«Ideal para los amantes de la acción, y para quien le guste el periodo de la segunda guerra mundial, para las románticas también existe espacio entre las páginas.»Mi esquinita de lectura «Es una novela llena de espías, amores fallidos, envidias y traiciones.»¡Qué bello es leer! «Una trama de espionaje con aliados, nazis y diamantes, para disfrutar.»La tarde contigo, Canal Extremadura«Una buena lectura con momentos de acción, para los amantes de las novelas que se desarrollan en grandes épocas históricas, como en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.»Vorágine interna «Aconsejar que leáis el libro si os gusta la novela de espionaje y con la Segunda Guerra Mundial como telón de fondo.»Sintiendo tus letras
Tu rostro mañana. 1 Fiebre y lanza
by Javier MaríasTu rostro mañana/ 1 Fiebre y Lanza, primera parte de la obra cumbre de Javier Marías, que la crítica extranjera ya ha saludado como una de las cimas literarias de nuestro tiempo. «No debería contar nunca nada», empieza por decir el narrador de esta historia, Jaime o Jacobo o Jacques Deza. Y sin embargo su tarea va a ser la contraria, contarlo todo, hasta lo aún no sucedido, al ser contratado por un grupo sin nombre que durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial creó el M16, el Servicio Secreto británico, y que aún funciona hoy en día de manera tal vez degradada, o acaso ya bajo diferentes auspicios. El protagonista regresa a Inglaterra, en cuya Universidad de Oxford había enseñado muchos años atrás, «por no seguir cerca de mi mujer mientras ella se me alejaba». Y allí descubre que, según Sir Peter Wheeler, viejo profesor retirado «con demasiados recuerdos», él también pertenece al reducido grupo de personas que posee un «don» o maldición: el de ver lo que la gente hará en el futuro, el de conocer hoy cómo serán sus rostros mañana, el de saber quiénes nos traicionarán o nos serán leales.
Tu rostro mañana. 2 Baile y sueño
by Javier MaríasTu rostro mañana / 2 Baile y sueño, segunda parte de la obra cumbre de Javier Marías, que la crítica extranjera ya ha saludado como una de las cimas literarias de nuestro tiempo. «Ojalá nunca nadie nos pidiera nada, ni casi nos preguntara, ningún consejo ni favor ni préstamo, ni el de la atención siquiera... Ojalá nadie se nos acercara a decirnos "Por favor", u "Oye, ¿tú sabes?", "Oye, ¿tú podrías decirme?", "Oye, es que quiero pedirte: una recomendación, un dato, un parecer, una mano, dinero, una intercesión, o consuelo, una gracia, que me guardes este secreto o que cambies por mí y seas otro, o que por mí traiciones y mientas o calles y así me salves".» Así comienza Baile y sueño, el segundo y penúltimo volumen de Tu rostro mañana, probablemente la obra cumbre novelística de Javier Marías. En él se nos sigue contando la historia, iniciada en Fiebre y lanza, de Jaime o Jacobo o Jacques Deza,español al servicio de un grupo sin nombre, dependiente del MI6 o Servicio Secreto británico, cuya tarea y «don» es ver lo que la gente hará en el futuro, o conocer hoy cómo serán sus rostros mañana. Baile y sueño nos abisma una vez más en la embrujadora prosa de su autor y nos lleva a meditar sobre tantas cosas que creemos hacer «sin querer», incluidas las más violentas, y que por eso acabamos por convencernos de que «apenas si cuentan» y aún de que nunca se hicieran.
Tu rostro mañana. 3 Veneno y sombra y adiós
by Javier MaríasTu rostro mañana/ 3 Veneno y sombra y adiós, la tercera y última parte de la obra maestra de Javier Marías, que la crítica extranjera ya ha saludado como una de las cimas literarias de nuestro tiempo. «Uno no lo desea, pero prefiere siempre que muera el que está a su lado, en una misión o una batalla, en una escuadrilla aérea o bajo un bombardeo o en la trinchera cuando las había, en un asalto callejero o en un atraco a una tienda o en un secuestro de turistas, en un terremoto, una explosión, un atentado, un incendio, da lo mismo: el compañero, el hermano, el padre o incluso el hijo, aunque sea niño. Y también la amada, también la amada, antes que uno mismo.» Así arranca Veneno y sombra y adiós, el tercer y último volumen de Tu rostro mañana, la grandiosa novela de Javier Marías que, por fin completa, y como ya ha anticipado la crítica extranjera, se revela como una de las cumbres literarias de nuestro tiempo. El narrador y protagonista, Jacques o Jaime o Jacobo Deza, acaba por conocer aquí los inesperados rostros de quienes lo rodean y también el suyo propio, y descubre que, bajo el mundo más o menos apaciguado en que vivimos los occidentales, siempre late una necesidad de traición y violencia que se nos inocula como un veneno. Con sus nuevos y cruciales episodios en Londres, Madrid y Oxford, con su desenlace sobrecogedor, se cierra aquí una historia que es mucho más que una historia apasionante, contada con la maestría de uno de los mejores novelistas contemporáneos, y tal vez el más profundo y arriesgado.

Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts: An Adventure
by Kate RacculiaA handsome stranger. A dead billionaire. A citywide treasure hunt. Tuesday Mooney&’s life is about to change…forevermore. Tuesday Mooney is a loner. She keeps to herself, begrudgingly socializes, and spends much of her time watching old Twin Peaks and X-Files DVDs. But when Vincent Pryce, Boston&’s most eccentric billionaire, dies—leaving behind an epic treasure hunt through the city, with clues inspired by his hero, Edgar Allan Poe—Tuesday&’s adventure finally begins. Puzzle-loving Tuesday searches for clue after clue, joined by a ragtag crew: a wisecracking friend, an adoring teen neighbor, and a handsome, cagey young heir. The hunt tests their mettle, and with other teams from around the city also vying for the promised prize—a share of Pryce&’s immense wealth—they must move quickly. Pryce&’s clues can't be cracked with sharp wit alone; the searchers must summon the courage to face painful ghosts from their pasts (some more vivid than others) and discover their most guarded desires and dreams. A deliciously funny ode to imagination, overflowing with love letters to art, from The Westing Game to Madonna to the Knights of the Round Table, Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts is the perfect read for thrill seekers, wanderers, word lovers, and anyone looking for an escape to the extraordinary.

Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red (The Rabbi Small Mysteries #5)
by Harry KemelmanRabbi Small encounters militant activists, anarchists, and a mad bomber on a college campus in this New York Times bestseller Once again, Rabbi Small finds himself looking for solace outside the confines of the contentious world of his synagogue in Barnard's Crossing, Massachusetts. When a member of his congregation expresses that she does not want him to officiate her wedding, Rabbi Small has had enough. He seeks escape by dabbling in academia with a part-time teaching gig at a local college. But his fantasy of a tranquil life in an ivory tower is about to come tumbling down. A bombing at the school kills one of the rabbi's coworkers, and Small finds himself caught between adversarial students and feuding faculty members. As he investigates possible suspects with the same logic and measured caution that make him a brilliant religious leader, Rabbi Small finds that everyone has a motive--and an alibi--and it's up to him to uncover the truth.
