The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump
by Harry TurtledoveDavid Fisher, an EPA (Environmental Perfection Agency) bureaucrat, was not the stuff of which heroes are made. At least he hoped not. All he wanted was a good life with a good wife, and a chance to do his bit for society reviewing magical impact statements (like the one that assesses the effect on local non-life resulting from the introduction of leprechauns into Southern California, for example) and ensuring that various manufacturers of magical devices did not intentionally or otherwise foul the environment with the sorcerous by-products of their trade. Indeed it would be hard to imagine a more regular and down to earth soul than that of David Fisher of the EPA. No hero he!Then one day David received a call from Washington to investigate a certain Toxic Spell Dump, and suddenly he is up to his neck in skullduggery and magic most foul. Some ancient deity, it seems, is attempting to reopen for business in the L.A. Basin, complete with human sacrifice (open up their hearts and let the sun shine in!) and the destruction of Western Civilization. All that stands in the way is David Fisher - and he's no hero.Until he has to be.
The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump
by Harry TurtledoveIn an alternate America that runs on magic, a potential environmental disaster plunges an overworked bureaucrat into a deadly conspiracy of evil gods and darkest sorcery David Fisher pushes paper for the EPA in a world that's a lot like ours . . . only different. In this California--and throughout the alternate United States--all gods are real, science doesn't exist, and magic rules everything, running imp-driven computers and creating anxiety-inducing bumper-to-bumper flying-carpet rush hours. Unfortunately, unchecked magic use can leave dangerous residues, creating hours of mind-numbing deskwork for David and his fellow bureaucrats at the Environmental Perfection Agency. Now a leakage at a toxic spell dump in Angels City is about to complicate David's life in ways he never imagined, unleashing vampires, werewolves, and soulless babies. Even the actual spooks at the CIA concerned. But looking too closely into what might be more than just an accident could have David stepping on the toes of some very nasty deities indeed, imperiling his future on the Other Side . . . and on this one, as well. When it comes to creating alternate histories--and worlds--no one does it better than the great Harry Turtledove. The multiple-award-winning master of the fantastic carries readers on a droll thrill ride through a richly detailed, ingeniously imagined fantasy reality where the impossible is mundane--and absolutely anything can happen.

To restore balance to his account, Amon must unravel the secret of jubilee, but quickly finds himself asking dangerous questions about the system to which he's devoted his life, and the costly investigation only drags him closer and closer to the pit of bankruptcy.In book one of the Jubilee Cycle, Cash Crash Jubilee, debut novelist Eli K.

Cash in Hand
by TA MooreThe last monster died a hundred years ago. At least, that’s what the monsters want you to think. Half-monster Cash just wants to keep his head down and raise his daughter, Ellie, to be an upstanding member of monstrous society. Even if she’d rather spend the summer with her human friends than learn the art of man traps at Camp Dark Hollow. So the last person Cash wants to see is her uncle Arkady Abascal, who’s also Cash’s ex-boyfriend. Arkady has more than Ellie’s summer plans on his mind. He’s there to enlist Cash to find out who’s been selling monster secrets. Cash hasn’t gotten any better at telling Arkady no, but it’s not just his weakness for Arkady that makes him agree. The Prodigium thinks an Abascal exposed them to humans, and now the whole family is at risk—including Ellie. Recruited to help Arkady identify the culprit—or frame a scapegoat—Cash finds the machinations of monstrous power easier to navigate than his feelings for Arkady. At least, at first. But when things get bloody, he wishes romantic disasters were all he had to worry about….

El caso de la viuda negra: El asesinato que pone al descubierto la mayor red de lavado de dinero en el Peñismo
by Arturo Ángel Mendieta Manu Ureste Zedryk Raziel Cruz MerinoIsaac Gamboa era un exfuncionario de la Secretaría de Hacienda que, de la mano de Luis Videgaray, se convirtió en uno de los hombres más poderosos e importantes durante el sexenio de Peña Nieto. El caso Viuda Negra es una historia de crimen, odio e interés por el poder que no sólo detalla los casos más oscuros de corrupción en la Secretaría de Hacienda, sino que también pone en bandeja de plata los elementos suficientes para perseguir a las grandes cabezas detrás de ellos. Su asesinato, y el de su familia en mayo de 2020, a manos de un comando armado en Temixco, Morelos, quedó sepultado bajo el móvil de un supuesto crimen pasional, orquestado por su esposa —hoy detenida— y uno de sus escoltas. Sin embargo, la información que poseía Gamboa sobre desvíos de recursos durante el gobierno anterior sugiere que su silencio podría haber resultado muy conveniente para altos funcionarios del peñismo. A partir de un trabajo periodístico riguroso y un ritmo narrativo apasionante, Manu Ureste, Zedryk Raziel y Arturo Ángel —reporteros de investigación de Animal Político— relatan el multihomicidio a la luz de las tramas de corrupción en las que el exfuncionario estaba implicado: la red de empresas fantasma alrededor de él y su familia relacionadas con el lavado de hasta 5 mil 800 millones de pesos. Pero no sólo eso, también descubren en Gamboa al hombre clave para trazar el mecanismo con el que se desviaron recursos públicos en escándalos de corrupción como la Operación Safiro, que permitiría hundir a importantes funcionarios y políticos prominentes del gobierno peñista. «El caso Viuda Negra es una radiografía que, desde lo local, exhibe la podredumbre de un sistema que se protege y reproduce, que hace todo para no morir. Incluido matar.» -Gabriela Warkentin
