la sociedad y los obstáculos de la justicia. «Contemporáneo en su estilo breve y fragmentario -donde se cruzan diario, imágenes, géneros y lenguajes diversos-, esta novela lírica y vertiginosa revoluciona la no ficción en sus formas y temas».Gabriela Cabezón Cámara Después de un año sin noticias, una llamada desde la Fiscalía anuncia que, finalmente, la denuncia por abuso sexual ha sido elevada a juicio. Esa mañana invernal comienza para la narradora otro duro proceso: encontrar representación legal, entender las lógicas burocráticas de la Justicia, tejer redes de apoyo para afrontar la causa contra su tío, un comisario poderoso, y juntar coraje para reabrir un expediente que lleva al pasado familiar. Sin demagogias, Belén López Peiró revisa los contornos difusos de los recuerdos; ensaya respuestas al agobio de audiencias humillantes e indaga en los laberintos de los juicios por jurado. Donde no hago pie profundiza el proyecto literario de Por qué volvías cada verano, antecedente clave de miles de denuncias anónimas y otras de enorme repercusión mediática. Con un ritmo avasallante, esta crónica encuentra las palabras para transformar en acción política un delito que pretendía permanecer secreto. Sobre Por qué volvías cada verano, la crítica dijo: «Uno de los 18 mejores libros del año».Revista Rolling Stone «De una contundencia expresiva increíble».Mauro Libertella, La Agenda «Una de las autoras del año».Carolina Amoroso, TN «Uno de los textos más valientes y más crudos que apareció recientemente».Agustina Larrea, InfobaeThe Dark Affair: Mad Passions Book 3 (Mad Passions)

recently discovered correspondence between two famous 19th-century Masonic leaders, Albert Pike and Colonel J. W. B. MacLeod Moore • Follows the protagonists, Thomas and Janet, as they seek to protect the Pike letters&’ secret from the Vatican and its fanatical Jesuit hitman as well as others who desire to use the letters&’ secret for world domination • Also includes a short biography of controversial Masonic icon Albert Pike Centered on recently discovered, authenticated correspondence between two famous 19th-century Masonic leaders, Confederate General Albert Pike and British Colonel James Wilson Bury MacLeod Moore, this modern-day thriller follows Thomas, a direct descendant of Col. Moore, and Janet Rose, a direct descendant of the Merovingian Kings and House of David, as they risk their lives to protect the letters and the Templar and Rosicrucian secrets encoded within them. As Thomas and Janet discover, everyone--from the Church to the White House to Confederate sympathizers and the KKK--seeks the ancient knowledge contained within the letters, knowledge that would allow a singular entity to control the world and bring all of the great religions to their knees. Pitted against a psychotic and sexually perverted Jesuit priest, tasked by the Vatican&’s inner circle to retrieve the Pike letters, the couple is aided by two Templar guardians and a modern-day practicing alchemist, Janet&’s grandfather. As Thomas and Janet&’s love for one another grows, the couple transcends to a higher level of understanding, unaware that they are following the same ancient morals and dogma found within the 33 degrees of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, as defined by none other than Albert Pike himself. Part fact, part fiction, the novel, with its 33 initiatory chapters, provides a rare glimpse into the inner circles of modern-day Freemasonry, along with revelations of ancient alliances between Native Americans and the Templars. Set in Georgetown, in the heart of Washington, D.C., the story ends with a dramatic unveiling of the ultimate New World secret sought by so many factions: the location of the last Knights Templar refuge in the New World, where the lost treasure of the Templars, including sacred knowledge of the Holy Family--the descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene--remains to this day.Um guia espiritual, uma tigresa fantasma e uma mãe assustadora!
