INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER#1 New York Times bestselling author C. J. Box's Treasure State finds Cassie Dewell in Montana…
on the trail of a con man.Private Investigator Cassie Dewell’s business is thriving, and her latest case puts her on the hunt for a slippery con man who’s disappeared somewhere in the “treasure state”. A wealthy Florida widow has accused him of absconding with her fortune, and wants Cassie to find him and get it back. The trail takes Cassie to Anaconda, Montana, a quirky former copper mining town that’s the perfect place to reinvent yourself. As the case develops, Cassie begins to wonder if her client is telling her everything.On top of that, Cassie is also working what's easily one of her strangest assignments ever. A poem that promises buried treasure to one lucky adventurer has led to a cutthroat competition and five deaths among treasure-hunters. But Cassie’s client doesn’t want the treasure. Instead, he claims to be the one who hid the gold and wrote the poem. And he’s hired Cassie to try to find him. Between the two cases, Cassie has her hands full.In Montana, a killer view can mean more than just the scenery, and Cassie knows much darker things hide behind the picturesque landscape of Big Sky Country. Treasure State, C. J. Box's highly anticipated follow-up to The Bitterroots, is full of more twists and turns than the switchbacks through the Anaconda Range.By Ricardo Romero. 2023
Un joven policía, inexperto y tímido, tiene que resolver un crimen en el pequeño pueblo donde está destinado. «¿El frío…
es una cualidad del aire o el aire es una cualidad del frío? Incrédulo, el Pampa ve los primeros copos caer. Livianos, deshilachados, pero copos al fin. Está nevando». El joven suboficial ayudante Pampa Asiain, recién salido de la escuela de policía, es destinado a un pequeño pueblo de provincia llamado Monge, un lugar aislado, con pocas casas y apenas algunos pobladores. El suboficial Parra, su compañero, le asigna tareas de patrulla cotidianas, como verificar las denuncias sobre pescadores furtivos en la zona de la laguna. Una tarde de invierno muy fría, a partir de una llamada, Pampa explora la zona y se encuentra con la escena de un crimen. Contrariamente a lo que se espera de él, no lo comunica y decide investigar por su cuenta. Pero ¿es eso lo que hace? ¿Investiga? ¿Y qué es lo que investiga? El suboficial ayudante Pampa Asiain espera, acecha, se deja llevar por sus intuiciones. Y lo que descubre es el lado más oscuro del azar, la versión más inhumana de la llanura. En Yo soy el invierno, Ricardo Romero nos ofrece un relato hipnótico y desgarrado sobre los fantasmas del miedo, la soledad y el abandono que nos rondan y a los que nunca es fácil ignorar. La crítica dijo: «En su monumental y experimental novela Big Rip […] Romero se lanza con todo a explorar la potencia de la novela fractal para tratar de capturar todos los planos posibles de un mundo que se desmorona, pero que todavía se merece un relato que trate de entenderlo».Fernando Krapp, Página/12 «Big Rip es una apuesta extrema, de esas que la literatura siempre pide a gritos».José María Brindisi, La Nación «Ambiciosa pero no total, Big Rip es una gesta ante tanta inmediatez; un conjuro contra la ansiedad».Juan F. Comperatore, Otra Parte «Romero, tras los pasos del Cortázar más ominoso, nos obsequia una historia o una metáfora tan redonda como singular».J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, "Babelia", El País, sobre La habitación del Presidente «En la inquietante novela El conserje y la eternidad, Ricardo Romero hilvana versiones de una criatura condenada a una existencia infinita, sin saber el abismo que hay entre una palabra y otra».Silvina Friera, Página/12By Eric Luper. 2017

"Five men occupied their usual places in a first-class carriage, but the sixth place was empty..." It is most unusual…
for the sixth man, Mr. Parador, to be late. The five commuters are wondering what happened to him, when a strange-looking man enters the compartment, dressed in black and wearing dark glasses. When he is told that the sixth seat is taken, he replies, in a deep sepulchral voice, "He won't be coming." He was right. Parador does not come, and his companions never see him alive again. And if Carolus Deena had not taken an interest in the case, the coroner's verdict of suicide would not have been questioned.By Fiona Sherlock. 2023

El primer caso de Quirke y Strafford es la novela negra más ambiciosa del ganador del Premio Príncipe de Asturias,…
cuyo proyecto declarado es «transformar la novela policiaca en arte» 1945: la guerra ha terminado, y algunos alemanes deben huir del país. Tras un viaje agotador, un hombre llega a un antiguo monasterio franciscano que se alza frente a los Dolomitas. Allí hallará refugio y también sellará un pacto. Más de una década después, el doctor Quirke es «un animal herido» que se ha mudado a casa de su hija Phoebe tras la trágica muerte de su mujer. Cuando en un garaje de Dublín aparece el cadáver de la joven estudiante judía Rosa Jacobs, todo parece apuntar a un suicidio, pero Quirke y el inspector Strafford —que se enfrentan a su primer caso juntos—sospechan que se trata de un crimen, al igual que la hermana de la víctima, una periodista que se une a la búsqueda de la verdad y zarandea el corazón del patólogo. Mientras las relaciones entre los dos investigadores se vuelven cada vez más tensas, el misterio se agudiza cuando descubren los vínculos de Rosa con el hijo de una acaudalada familia alemana que se mudó al condado de Wicklow tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial y tiene negocios en Israel. ¿Podrán unir las piezas del rompecabezas oculto? La crítica ha dicho:«Soberbio e impactante [...]. Más que un toque de genialidad».The Times «Black regresa con su perspicacia habitual y su elegante prosa. [...] Una escritura fluida que nos deslumbra en algunos pasajes delicadamente labrados que hacen que uno quiera ir más despacio para saborearlos».Dan Fesperman, The New York Times «Una gran novela policiaca, elegante, original y absolutamente absorbente».Daily Mail«Las hermanas Jacobs promete elevar la novela negra a nuevas cotas artísticas».Financial Times «Las novelas de Black se leen y saborean como las de Simenon por la atmósfera, por los personajes y por cómo capta los caprichos de la naturaleza humana. Es un maestro de la escenografía. [...] La trama de la novela está llena de giros y sorpresas».Allan Massie, The Scotsman «John Banville/Benjamin Black es un maestro y su prosa es un deleite incesante».Martin Amis «Black, como Banville, como los maestros, crea personajes que no son solo personajes,que están vivos, en un mundo paralelo al nuestro, el mundo de la Literatura, con mayúsculas».Laura Fernández, El Cultural «Black es un maestro de la novela negra de altura, del noir literario en la tradición de Simenon y Chandler».The Guardian«John Banville es un escritor enorme y hay mucho de Banville en Black».Carlos Zanón, El País «El escritor de lengua inglesa más inteligente, el estilista más elegante».George Steiner «Leer a John Banville es una fiesta».Miguel Ángel Oeste, El CulturalBy Jumata Emill. 2023
