relaciones de poder en Sicilia. Corre el año 1950. El exilio de Michael Corleone en Palermo está a punto de acabar, y su padre, Don Vito, le ha encomendado una misión: debe volver a América con un hombre que se ha convertido en un mito popular, un forajido acosado por el Gobierno, las clases altas y la Mafia. Su nombre es Salvatore Giuliano, un moderno Robin Hood que, tras enfrentarse en su juventud a una patrulla de carabineri, se vio forzado a refugiarse en las montañas. Desde allí lucha por su patria y su gente, oprimida por la Cosa Nostra y la corrupción del Gobierno de Roma. Ahora, en esta neblinosa tierra de montañas y ruinas antiguas, el destino de Michael Corleone se verá hermanado con la leyenda de Salvatore Giuliano.By Mario Puzo. 2001

mundo literario con su publicación en 1969. La publicación de El Padrino en 1969 convulsionó el mundo literario. Por primera vez, la Mafia protagonizaba una novela y era retratada desde dentro. Mario Puzo la presentaba no como una mera asociación de facinerosos, sino como una compleja sociedad con una cultura propia y una jerarquía aceptada incluso más allá de los círculos de la delincuencia. El Padrino narra la historia de un hombre, Vito Corleone, el capo más respetado de Nueva York. Déspota benevolente, implacable con sus rivales, inteligente y fiel a los principios del honor y la amistad. Don Corleone dirige un emporio que abarca el fraude y la extorsión, los juegos de azar y el control delos sindicatos. La vida y negocios de Don Corleone, así como los de su hijo y heredero Michael, conforman el eje de esta magistral obra.By Mario Puzo. 1998

Desde su espectacular mansión en Long Island, el Don controla negocios de Las Vegas y de Hollywood que le permitirían legitimar su fortuna. Pero cuando esté cerca de conseguir su objetivo, ciertos secretos familiares del pasado amenzarán con socavar su plan y con desatar una guerra. Y es que el último Don no puede ignorar que lo único que los Clericuzio saben hacer bien es matar.By Frederick Forsyth. 2018
El legendario Frederick Forsyth, «el auténtico maestro del suspense internacional» según Los Angeles Times, nos sorprende con un nuevo y…
oportuno thriller. La mayoría de las armas hacen lo que les pides. La mayoría de las armas son controlables. ¿Y si el arma más peligrosa del mundo no fuera un misil inteligente, un submarino sigiloso o un virus informático? ¿Y si, en realidad, se tratara de un chico de diecisiete años con una mente prodigiosa, capaz de sortear los sistemas de seguridad más sofisticados y de manipular cualquier arma y volverla en contra de los más poderosos? ¿Qué no estaría dispuesta a hacer cualquier agencia de inteligencia para tenerlo de su lado? Hay que encontrarlo y capturarlo. O protegerlo y salvarlo. Pase lo que pase, él es capaz de decantar la balanza del poder mundial y no debe caer en las manos equivocadas, porque lo que podría ocurrir a continuación es impensable... Y lo mejor de todo es que si ha sido capaz de romper nuestros sistemas de seguridad puede hacer lo mismo con nuestros enemigos. Reseñas:«Uno de los mejores autores de thrillers del mundo.»The Wall Street Journal «Un escritor soberbio.»The Daily Telegraph «La experiencia y la investigación confieren autenticidad a todo lo que escribe, además de que Forsyth tiene sin duda una habilidad casi hipnótica para empujar al lector a seguir leyendo.»The Spectator «El Zorro no se recrea en el lenguaje, sino que prefiere dejar espacio para la acción, que son la marca de identidad de Forsyth. Los escalofriantes escenarios resultan de alguna manera reconfortantes. Qué pensar si no de un equipo formado por un chico con dotes especiales y un anciano inglés que permanece en silencio para luchar contra los malos de la historia.»The Wall Street Journal «Este oportuno y bien escrito thriller lo tiene todo. Un buen argumento plagado de giros, personajes interesantes, intriga fascinante... Una lectura asombrosamente entretenida y rápida. Desde Chacal se consideraba a Forsyth como el gigante del thriller político y de espionaje. Aquí el gigante supera sus límites.»The Washington Times «Forsyth en su momento más deslumbrante.»The Daily MailBy Caroline Eriksson. 2015

Lo encontrará escondido entre las sábanas. ¿Lo puso ella ahí? ¿O ha habido alguien más en la cabaña? ¿Quién? Y ¿por qué? EL PASADO SIEMPRE VUELVE En este sombrío thriller psicológico, con más recovecos que un laberinto y más impetuoso que una montaña rusa, Greta se verá sumergida en un abismo de confusión creciente, hasta enfrentarse a un secreto que lleva demasiado tiempo escondiendo. La crítica ha dicho...«Digna sucesora de Perdida. ¡Una intriga superior!»Dagens Nyheter «No hay autor en Suecia que describa mejor la psicología del comportamiento que Caroline Eriksson.»Bibliophilia «Una novela que sabe dirigir una gran orquesta compuesta de miedo, dependencia, poder y oscuridad.»Kielerleben «Un entretenidísimo thriller que propone raciones abundantes de pánico y que describe verdaderamente cómo la gente se manipula entre sí.»Schweriner Volkszeitung «Una voz propia. Un thriller psicológico terriblemente bueno, te agarra y duele.»ForumBy John D. Macdonald. 1968

A Zoe Chambers mystery “with as many twists and turns as the Pennsylvania countryside it’s set in” (CJ Lyons, New…
York Times–bestselling author). On a sultry summer afternoon, Paramedic Zoe Chambers responds to a call and finds a farmer’s body hanging from the rafters of his hay barn. What first appears to be a suicide quickly becomes something sinister when Zoe links the victim to a pair of deaths forty-five years earlier. Her attempts to wheedle information from her mother and stepfather hit a brick wall of deception, one that brings into question everything Zoe knows about her late father, who died in a car crash when she was eight. Or did he? Police Chief Pete Adams fears Zoe’s inquiries are setting her up for deeper heartbreak and putting her in danger. As Zoe and Pete inch closer to the truth, they discover that a missing gun links the crimes, which span more than four decades. But the killer isn’t done. Two more Vance Township residents fall victim to the same gun, and when tragedy strikes too close to home, Zoe realizes her family is in the crosshairs. “Lost Legacy has it all: an absorbing plot, compelling characters, haunting echoes from the past, and a protagonist you’re going to love.

A young attorney tries her first case . . . and it's Murder One in a legal thriller from the…
world's #1 bestselling writer. Ruby Bozarth, a newcomer to Rosedale, Mississippi, is also fresh to the Mississippi Bar--and to the docket of Circuit Judge Baylor, who taps Ruby as defense counsel in a racially charged felony. The murder of a woman from one of the town's oldest families has Rosedale's upper crust howling for blood, and the prosecutor is counting on Ruby's inexperience to help him deliver a swift conviction. Ruby's client is a college football star who has returned home after a career-ending injury, and she is determined to build a defense that will stick. She finds help in unexpected quarters from Suzanne, a hard-charging attorney armed to the teeth, and Shorty, a diner cook who knows more than he lets on. Ruby never belonged to the country-club set, but once she nearly married into it. As news breaks of a second murder, Ruby's ex-fiancé, Lee Greene, shows up on her doorstep--a Southern gentleman in need of a savior. As lurid, intertwining investigations unfold, no one in Rosedale can be trusted, especially the twelve men and women impaneled on the jury. They may be hiding the most incendiary secret of all.

“With The Rise of the Red Queen, Bourne Morris is poised to become the queen of academic mysteries and suspense”…
(Gigi Pandian, USA Today–bestselling author). A beautiful student is missing. Did she leave on impulse, or was it something more sinister? When the young woman’s grandfather pleads for help, journalism dean Meredith “Red” Solaris agrees to help search for the student, but doesn’t know she may have to risk everything to find her. Worse yet, without solid evidence, Red and Detective Joe Morgan have little basis for investigation. Murky university politics—and Red’s own struggle to keep her job—thwart efforts to find a girl held captive by a man willing to steal what he cannot win. “Red Solaris is intelligent, tough, and vulnerable, a tricky combination to pull off, yet Bourne Morris does so beautifully and has given us a lead character we care deeply about. The Rise of the Red Queen, second in the series, grabs you by the throat and the heart on page one and never lets go.” —Annette Dashofy, USA Today–bestselling author of the Zoe Chambers Mysteries “Intriguing characters, a complex, inventive plot with nail-biting suspense—I finished it at two in the morning!” —Jeanne M. Dams, author of the Dorothy Martin MysteriesBy Shelley Costa. 2016
“An engaging, deftly-plotted mystery with a smart, tough-minded heroine. Shelley Costa delivers a terrific series debut” (Daniel Stashower, New York…
Times–bestselling author). When Val Cameron, a senior editor with a New York publishing company, is sent to the Canadian Northwoods to sign a reclusive bestselling author or risk losing her job, she is definitely out of her element. Val is certain she can convince Charles Cable, but first she has to find him. Aided by a floatplane pilot whose wife was killed two years ago in a case gone cold, Val’s hunt for the recluse becomes even more muddled. When all signs point to Cable as the killer, she must work to clear his name before the scandal sinks her career. Trapped in a wilderness lake community where livelihoods collide and a killer lurks, the prospect of running into a bear could be the least of Val’s problems. “Costa hits all the right notes—vulnerable but likable characters, a compelling plot, a clearly drawn setting, and a tangled web of past and present events.” —Sheila Connolly, New York Times–bestselling author of the County Cork Mysteries “A strong plot and engaging characters make for a well-crafted mystery, and Val’s humorous attempts to cope with the wilderness do much to lighten the tension.” —Publishers Weekly “Taut, well written and suspenseful . . . draws readers into a community where the past haunts the present and residents’ motives are buried deep . . . just like the truth.” —Kylie Logan, national bestselling author of the Ethnic Eats MysteriesBy Annette Dashofy. 2015
In the USA Today–bestselling series, “Zoe’s on the case, and she’s a heroine you’ll root for through the mystery’s twists…
and turns” (Lisa Scottoline). Paramedic Zoe Chambers is used to saving lives, but when she stops a man from running into a raging inferno in a futile attempt to rescue his wife, Zoe finds herself drawn to him, and even more so to his ten-year-old daughter. She invites them both to live at the farm while the grieving widower picks up the pieces of his life. Vance Township Police Chief Pete Adams, of course, is not happy with this setup, especially when he finds evidence implicating Zoe’s new houseguest in murder times two. When Zoe ignores Pete’s dire warnings, she runs the very real chance of burning one too many bridges, losing everything—and everyone—she holds dear. “So polished, so intriguing, and so darn good.” —Donnell Ann Bell, bestselling author of Buried Agendas “First and foremost a top-flight mystery, but what makes it truly shine is that it’s also an astute exploration of the human psyche.” —Mystery Scene “Dashofy has done it again . . . A thoroughly engaging read that will take you away.” —Deborah Coonts, national bestselling author of Lucky Score “Sheer enjoyment. Dashofy has created a mystery you can get your teeth into. The characters are well-written and have depth . . . Highly recommended!” —Any Good BookBy Bourne Morris. 2014

of You Came Back). A famous journalism dean is found dead at the bottom of a stairwell. Accident or murder? The police suspect members of the faculty who had engaged in fierce quarrels with him—distinguished scholars who were known to attack the dean like brutal schoolyard bullies. When Meredith “Red” Solaris is appointed interim dean, the faculty suspects are furious. Will the beautiful red-haired professor be next? The case detective tries to protect her as he heads the investigation, but incoming threats lead him to believe Red’s the next target for death. “A psychological thriller that reveals the Ivory Tower to be a hothouse full of monstrous egos, where bullying thrives long past playground days and ‘academic discipline’ requires research skills of the detective kind.” —Kate Manning, author of My Notorious Life “Touching upon a very real subject, this author offers the perfect formula of suspects, mystery, and a handsome police detective to heat up Red’s fire . . . This is a great read about what goes on behind those academic doors.” —Suspense MagazineBy Kait Carson. 2014
