From the best-selling author of The Dog Stars and The Painter, a luminous, masterful novel of suspense--the story of Celine,…
an elegant, aristocratic private eye who specializes in reuniting families, trying to make amends for a loss in her own past. Working out of her jewel box of an apartment at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, Celine has made a career of tracking down missing persons, and she has a better record at it than the FBI. But when a young woman, Gabriela, asks for her help, a world of mystery and sorrow opens up. Gabriela's father was a photographer who went missing on the border of Montana and Wyoming. He was assumed to have died from a grizzly mauling, but his body was never found. Now, as Celine and her partner head to Yellowstone National Park, investigating a trail gone cold, it becomes clear that they are being followed--that this is a case someone desperately wants to keep closed. Inspired by the life of Heller’s own remarkable mother, a chic and iconoclastic private eye, Celine is a deeply personal novel, a wildly engrossing story of family, privilege, and childhood loss. Combining the exquisite plotting and gorgeous evocation of nature that have become his hallmarks, Peter Heller gives us his finest work to date.

El teniente Nevers viaja a una isla de la Guyana Francesa para cumplir unos meses de trabajo en un complejo…
carcelario y se transforma en testigo de hechos asombrosos e inesperados. Enviado a trabajar en un complejo carcelario de máxima seguridad en unas islas de la Guayana Francesa, el teniente Enrique Nevers se convierte en testigo del comportamiento inusual de los presos en sus celdas abiertas y llenas de espejos, el aire siempre ausente del gobernador Castel y la extraña sensación de que en esas islas caben tantos mundos como personas.Con una ductilidad de géneros asombrosa que oscila entre la ciencia ficción, la novela de suspenso y el policial, Adolfo Bioy Casares resuelve los diversos enigmas de esta obra recién en las últimas líneas. Si La invención de Morel es, probablemente, la ficción contemporánea más elogiada por Jorge Luis Borges, Plan de evasión es, tal vez, lo más parecido que existe a la novela que este nunca escribió. Reseñas:«Plan de evasión es la gran novela moderna sobre la ilusión de la libertad».Alberto Manguel

Murder is only the beginning for Banks and his team . . .The gruesome double murder at an Eastvale property…
developer's luxury home should be an open and shut case for Superintendent Banks and his team of detectives. There's a clear link to the notoriously vicious Albanian mafia, men who left the country suspiciously soon after the death. Then they find a cache of spy-cam videos hidden in the house - and Annie and Gerry's investigation pivots to the rape of a young girl that could cast the murders in an entirely different light.Banks's friend Zelda, increasingly uncertain of her future in Britain's hostile environment, thinks she will be safer in Moldova hunting the men who abducted, raped and enslaved her than she is Yorkshire or London. Her search takes her back to the orphanage where it all began - but by stirring up the murky waters of the past, Zelda is putting herself in greater danger than any she's seen before. And as the threat escalates, so does the danger for Banks and those who love Zelda . . .'The master of the police procedural' Mail on Sunday'The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market.
