La entrega
by Dennis LehaneDennis Lehane regresa a los ambientes de Mystic River con una novela de gran concisión y sustancia, otra lección narrativa magistral que hunde sus raíces en la mejor tradición estadounidense del género negro. Bob Saginowski lleva dos décadas tras la barra del Cousin Marv#s, un antro de fieles parroquianos situado en un barrio obrero de Boston que la mafia local utiliza como punto de encuentro para sus negocios. Taciturno y solitario, Bob acude todas las mañanas a la iglesia de Saint Dominic en busca de respuestas a sus problemas de fe. Dos días después de Navidad, su monótona existencia da un giro inesperado cuando, de regreso a casa, rescata de un cubo de basura a un cachorro maltratado y conoce a Nadia, una mujer sensible con una enigmática cicatriz en la garganta. Sin embargo, lejos de augurar tiempos mejores, el doble encuentro es solo el preludio de graves apuros: el bar sufre un atraco a mano armada, el inspector Evandro Torres indaga en el asunto, y las bandas rivales entran en acción. Aunque sin duda lo peor es la aparición de Eric Deeds, un ex convicto psicópata que reclama la propiedad tanto del perro como de Nadia, cosa que Bob, que casi a su pesar se ha encariñado de ambos, no está dispuesto a concederle. Así, lo que había comenzado como un cuento navideño deriva gradualmente hacia una violenta pesadilla. Reseñas:«Una novela breve, intensa y descarada.»Publishers Weekly «Lehane es uno de los grandes de la ficción criminal contemporánea.»Daily Mail «Dennis posee un sentido de la historia y del diálogo que para Hollywood es como una droga. Y su tratamiento de los personajes femeninos es único.»George Pelecanos «Lehane se ha trabajado su camino hasta el nivel más alto de los escritores de novela negra.»Booklist «Dennis Lehane ofrece una combinación de emociones fuertes con descripciones precisas de asesinos y otra gente de mala calaña.»Chicago Tribune «Qué bien escribe este hombre.»Elmore Leonard «Un maestro.»The Philadelphia Inquirer «Dennis no tiene reparos en cruzar los límites artificiales impuestos a la novela negra.»Tom Perrotta
Entry Island
by Peter MayMarilyn Stasio in The New York Times raved: "Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth." Now Peter May takes us to a small island off the coast of Québec with an emotionally charged new mystery.When a murder rocks the isolated community of Entry Island, insomniac homicide detective Sime Mackenzie boards a light aircraft at St. Hubert airfield bound for the small, scattered chain of Madeline Islands, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, as part of an eight-officer investigation team from Montréal. Only two kilometers wide and three long, Entry Island is home to a population of just more than 100 inhabitants, the wealthiest of whom has just been discovered murdered in his home. Covered in her husband's blood, the dead man's melancholy wife spins a tale for the police about a masked intruder armed with a knife.The investigation appears to be little more than a formality--the evidence points to a crime of passion, implicating the wife. But Sime is electrified by the widow during his interview, convinced that he has met her before, even though this is clearly impossible. Haunted by this strange certainty, Sime's insomnia is punctuated by vivid, hallucinatory dreams of a distant past on a Scottish island 3,000 miles away, dreams in which he and the widow play leading roles. Sime's conviction soon becomes an obsession. And despite mounting evidence of the woman's guilt, he finds himself convinced of her innocence, leading to a conflict between the professional duty he must fulfill and the personal destiny he is increasingly sure awaits him.

Estimado señor M.
by Herman KochUna de las voces más subyugantes de la novela europea contemporánea. Desde la publicación de La cena y Casa de verano con piscina, la forma de Herman Koch de abordar sin ambages la ambigüedad moral, la hipocresía y la violencia solapada que carcomen a la sociedad moderna ha logrado capturar el interés de más de un millón de lectores en todo el mundo, tanto en Europa y Latinoamérica como en Australia y Estados Unidos, donde La cena llegó a estar entre los diez libros más vendidos de la lista del New York Times. Con unas ventas que superan a día de hoy los cien mil ejemplares sólo en Holanda, Estimado señor M. representa la obra de un escritor en la plenitud de sus capacidades. En esta ocasión, el lector se verá atrapado en la red tendida por un narrador anónimo obsesionado con exponer en detalle los aspectos más íntimos de la vida de su vecino, el señor M., uno de los escritores más célebres del país. M. cimentó su fama hace ya muchos años con la publicación de la novela Ajuste de cuentas, inspirada en una trágica historia ocurrida por entonces. El relato se centra en Herman, un estudiante de instituto que logra seducir a la bella e inalcanzable Laura después de que ésta rechace a Jan Landzaat, el profesor con quien tuvo una breve aventura. Sin embargo, Landzaat no se resigna a perderla y un día acude a la casa de campo de los padres de Laura, donde la joven pareja se ha recluido para disfrutar de su amor a solas. Pero el destino le reserva a Landzaat un giro inesperado: las carreteras están nevadas, su coche se avería y... nunca más se vuelve a saber nada de él. Y si bien, según la versión de M., los claros sospechosos de la desaparición del profesor son Herman y Laura, también cabe la posibilidad de que M. haya tergiversado los hechos por interés comercial, condenando así a dos jóvenes inocentes a un futuro mancillado por la sombra de la sospecha y la difamación. Ahora, décadas después, quizá el narrador logre descubrir la clave para conocer la verdad. La crítica ha dicho...«Koch y su tono satírico están en plena forma, aunque lo más sorprendente es el autoexamen literario que parece estar llevando a cabo [...]. ¡Koch en estado puro!»NRC Handelsblad «Ya en las dos primeras páginas, Estimado señor M. emerge como el largamente esperado nuevo Herman Koch.»Vrij Nederland «La novela mantiene una tensión envidiable y avanza al ritmo de un tren exprés [...]. Herman Koch demuestra en ella su talento, su habilidad y su implacable valentía.»De Morgen «Estimado señor M. lo tiene todo: intriga, humor, culpa, emociones, una estructura y un estilo perfectos, y es, además, una oda a la inocencia. Garantiza horas de evasión de la realidad.»De Limburger «Estimado señor M. no es sólo una novela apasionante, es un libro que provoca la carcajada una y otra vez.»Het Parool «Un argumento en extremo ingenioso, absolutamente inteligente.»Humo «Tensa, construida con gran talento por un escritor cargado de ironía.»ZIN «Estimado señor M. se acerca mucho a la perfección.»De Standaard
