A Melchor Marín novel. Winner of Spain's biggest literary prize - the Premio PlanetaWhen Melchor goes to investigate the horrific…
double-murder of a rich printer and his wife in rural Cataluña nothing quite adds up. The young cop from the big city, hero of a foiled terrorist attack, has been sent to Terra Alta till things quieten down. Observant, streetwise and circumspect, Melchor is also an outsider.The son of a Barcelona prostitute who never knew his father, Melchor rapidly fell into trouble and was jailed at 19, convicted of driving for a Colombian drug cartel. While he was behind bars, he read Hugo's Les Misérables, and then his mother was murdered. Admiring of both Jean Valjean and Javert - but mostly the relentless Javert - he decided to become a policeman.Now he is out for revenge, but he can wait, and meanwhile he has discovered happiness with his wife, the local librarian, and their daughter, who is, of course, called Cossette.Slowly at first, and then more rapidly once ordered to abandon the case, he tracks the clues that will reveal the larger truth behind what appears at first to be a cold-blooded, professional killing.Translated from the Spanish by Anne McLeanBy Frederick Weisel. 2022

Annie doesn't know.But someone does.An unsettling photo found amongst Paul's things turns the investigation toward his job as a middle school teacher and a troubled girl who is hiding secrets of her own. But what exactly happened to Paul on the day he left for work and never made it to the classroom? Is his disappearance related to a local heroin trafficking operation? As Eddie Mahler and the members of the Santa Rosa Violent Crime Investigations Team rush to find the teacher, they discover the members of his family have hidden lives of their own, and that Paul may not have been running away but toward something that could ruin his career and marriage—and even cost his life.By J.

Homicide detective Eve Dallas must untangle a twisted family history while a hostage’s life hangs in the balance—in Abandoned in…
Death by New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb.The woman’s body was found in the early morning, on a bench in a New York City playground. She was clean, her hair neatly arranged, her makeup carefully applied. But other things were very wrong—like the tattoo and piercings, clearly new. The clothes, decades out of date. The fatal wound hidden beneath a ribbon around her neck. And the note: Bad Mommy, written in crayon as if by a child.Eve Dallas turns to the department’s top profiler, who confirms what seems obvious to Eve: They’re dealing with a killer whose childhood involved some sort of trauma—a situation Eve is all too familiar with herself. Yet the clues suggest a perpetrator who’d be roughly sixty years old, and there are no records of old crimes with a similar MO. What was the trigger that apparently reopened such an old wound and sent someone over the edge?When Eve discovers that other young women—who physically resemble the first victim—have vanished, the clock starts ticking louder. But to solve this case she will need to find her way into a hidden place of dim light and concrete, into the distant past, and into the cold depths of a shattered mind.By M. C. Beaton. 2022

disappeared, north-west Scotland is hit by the worst storm in living memory. The road is washed away, phone lines are down, mobile reception is dead and his police radio is out of order. He is trapped with the laird's high-class house guests. Then he discovers the laird's body. Forced to remain overnight at the house, he interviews each of the guests and pieces together an alarming picture of clandestine infidelity, vicious jealousy, deadly revenge, lust, greed and fear. It begins to look like all of the guests had good reason to want the laird dead, but which one of them actually did the deed? Praise for the Hamish Macbeth series:'First rate ... deft social comedy and wonderfully realized atmosphere.' Booklist'It's always a treat to return to Lochdubh.' New York Times'Readers will enjoy the quirks and unique qualities of the cast ... Beaton catches the beauty of the area's natural geography and succinctly describes its distinct flavour.' Library Journal'Befuddled, earnest and utterly endearing, Hamish makes his triumphs sweetly satisfying.' Publishers WeeklyBy J. M. Redmann. 2013
Michele "Micky" Knight, a New Orleans PI, meets an out-of-town team of investigators who are working a human trafficking case.…
They want someone local to show them around. It sounds easy, and a woman with smiling green eyes is asking. But it stays easy only if Micky stops asking questions-and she's never been good at that.

Who can she trust? And who's trying to kill her?By Richard Castle. 2012

su carrera cazando asesinos y luchando contra la corrupción. Ahora, como nuevo comandante de la academia de la Sûreté, tiene la oportunidad de combatir las corruptelas y la brutalidad que se ha extendido como una plaga por este cuerpo policial. Sin embargo, tras encontrar asesinado a un antiguo colega y profesor de la academia, junto a un misterioso mapa de Three Pines, Gamache se ve ante una tarea aún más dura. Cuando la sospecha recae sobre el propio Gamache y su posible implicación en el crimen, la frenética búsqueda de respuestas lleva la investigación hasta el pueblo de Three Pines, donde está a punto de desvelarse una serie de secretos devastadores... La crítica ha dicho...«Profunda, grandiosa y extraordinaria de principio a fin [...]. Un milagro.»The Washington Post «Ingeniosa... Impactante... Mágica.»The New York Times «El estilo elíptico de Penny funciona de manera brillante en una novela que combina la corrupción policial de nuestros días con la tragedia.»The Sunday Times «Una ambientación envolvente y una narración empapada de búsqueda espiritual [...]. Penny combina un argumento inteligente con unas descripciones evocadoras y preciosas.»Daily Express «Una ofensa mortal triunfa en todos los niveles.»St. Louis Post-Dispatch «Una ofensa mortal es una de sus mejores obras, pero pienso mismo cada vez que termino un misterio Gamache.»The Washington Post «Un misterio cautivador y un rico drama humano en el que ningún personaje es del todo bueno ni malo y todos son capaces de inspirar empatía.»Booklist «Penny mantiene a sus lectores haciendo cábalas hasta el final.»The Guardian «Una ambientación espectacular. [...] Impresionante.»The Times «Una novela compleja que aborda temas universales como la compasión, la debilidad ante la tentación, el perdón y el peligro de caer en la desesperación y el cinismo ante demonios en apariencia insuperables.»Publishers Weekly «Penny, que eleva el listón con cada nuevo título de esta soberbia serie, siempre ha mezclado asesinato y corrupción con cuestiones de moralidad [...]. Lo hace con su habitual talento para crear un argumento cautivador, personajes ricos, una prosa llamativa y cuestiones que llevan a reflexionar sobre la piedad, la malicia y las contradicciones de la raza humana.»Richmond-Times Dispatch «Esta serie domina las listas de best-sellers y de premios por un buen motivo. Penny cuenta historias potentes sobre el daño y la sanación del corazón humano, aligeradas con afecto, humor y (gracias al cielo) redención.»Charlotte Observer «Penny escribe con gracia e inteligencia sobre personas complejas que luchan con emociones complejas, aunque su mayor don es la asombrosa capacidad para describir lo que quizá parezca indescriptible: el juego de luces, el sonido de la música celestial, una quieta sensación de paz.»The New York Times Book ReviewBy Carmen Mola. 2018
EXTREMA MÁS DE 600.000 LECTORES Y EL ELOGIO UNÁNIME DE LA CRÍTICA «Una novela que me encantó cuando la leí,…
policial y oscura, con una historia muy potente que ha enganchado a miles de lectores -y espero que ahora a miles de espectadores. [...] Elena Blanco es de los mejores personajes femeninos protagonistas que he visto en mucho tiempo y el Madrid que se muestra, callejero y violento, da mucha fuerza.»Paco Cabezas, director de la serie La novia gitana, de próxima publicación de A3MediaPlayer «En Madrid se mata poco», le decía al joven subinspector Ángel Zárate su mentor en la policía; «pero cuando se mata, no tiene nada que envidiarle a ninguna ciudad del mundo», podría añadir la inspectora Elena Blanco, jefa de la Brigada de Análisis de Casos, un departamento creado para resolver los crímenes más complicados y abyectos. Susana Macaya, de padre gitano pero educada como paya, desaparece tras su fiesta de despedida de soltera. El cadáver es encontrado dos días después en la Quinta de Vista Alegre del madrileño barrio de Carabanchel. Podría tratarse de un asesinato más, si no fuera por el hecho de que la víctima ha sido torturada siguiendo un ritual insólito y atroz, y de que su hermana Lara sufrió idéntica suerte siete años atrás, también en vísperas de su boda. El asesino de Lara cumple condena desde entonces, por lo que solo caben dos posibilidades: o alguien ha imitado sus métodos para matar a la hermana pequeña, o hay un inocente encarcelado. Por eso el comisario Rentero ha decidido apartar a Zárate del caso y encargárselo a la veterana Blanco, una mujer peculiar y solitaria, amante de la grappa, el karaoke, los coches de coleccionista y las relaciones sexuales en todoterrenos. Una policía vulnerable, que se mantiene en el cuerpo para no olvidar que en su vida existe un caso pendiente, que no ha podido cerrar. Investigar a una persona implica conocerla, descubrir sus secretos y contradicciones, su historia. En el caso de Lara y Susana, Elena Blanco debe asomarse a la vida de unos gitanos que han renunciado a sus costumbres para integrarse en la sociedad y a la de otros que no se lo perdonan, y levantar cada velo para descubrir quién pudo vengarse con tanta saña de ambas novias gitanas. Reseñas:«El seudónimo es una máscara como cualquier otra y quien se resguarda tras él tiene sus motivos. [...] Hombre o mujer, igual da. La competencia de sus novelas está probada. Y el impacto de no tener rostro, también.»Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «La novela negra o muta o se ensimisma. Carmen Mola, la escritora mutante. Lo peor de ella, que no la puedes invitar a un Festival.»Carlos Zanón «¿Quién es Carmen Mola? ¿Acaso importa? Sus novelas atrapan con una originalidad que nos somete y nos hace desear más, mucho más, cuando, horrorizados, nos damos cuenta de que estamos ya en la última página.»Jordi Llobregat, Director de Valencia Negra «Desde la primera página, Carmen Mola, quienquiera que sea, demuestra tener una voz propia, y eso, en el género negro y fuera de él, ya es mucho, quizá la mitad de todo. O más.»Lorenzo Silva «¿La Elena Ferrante española? [...]. Una estructura sólida y un argumento llevado como un clásico policial pero que al tiempo rompe varios convencionalismos.»Juan Carlos Galindo, El País «Todos caen rendidos (quien la coge no la suelta) ante la fuerza y la intensidad de una historia que no desmerece al mejor noir de Pierre Lemaitre, comparte elementos con Sandrone Dazieri y tiene como protagonista a una (sí, es una mujer) detective de las que hacen época (y series).»Inés Martín, ABCBy Enrique Laso, Isabelle De Rose. 2018
