Into Thin Air
by Thomas ZigalMountain man, ex-hippie, and single father, Sheriff Kurt Muller feels like an outsider in his hometown of Aspen, Colorado. Old enough to remember Aspen's more rustic years, Muller can't quite get used to its new identity as "Glamour Gulch," where ski bums, Latino migrant workers, and extravagant jet-setters live in uneasy proximity. In this volatile mix, Muller finds his personal code of justice is more and more at odds with the compromises of elected office. But there's nothing ambiguous about a dead man floating down Roaring Fork River. A beautiful doctor identifies the John Doe as an acclaimed Argentine journalist, and Muller, drawn in by her stories of brutality and corruption in Argentina, skirts the edges of professional behavior--until she vanishes while under his protection. Implicated in her disappearance and suddenly the FBI's target in a drug-trafficking case based on his radical past, Muller searches desperately for a way to clear himself and protect his family from sinister forces on either side of the law. As he presses closer to the truth, Muller confronts Aspen's changing ethos and, ultimately, an unresolved family tragedy that has haunted his life.
Así es como se mata (Un caso del comisario Mancini #Volumen 1)
by Mirko ZilahyLa nueva voz del thriller que está conquistando Europa. Tras el éxito de Dicker, Lemaitre y Dazieri, llega una nueva novela negra de alto impacto. «Un comisario que parece sacado de la serie de televisión Criminal Minds. Una novela tan inquietante que produce un inmediato efecto fan club.»Marta Cervino, Marie Claire «La justicia solo triunfará cuando el arado trace su último surco. Usted no me conoce. Nadie me conoce. Cómo me llamo no tiene importancia. Solo soy una sombra.» Roma, septiembre de 2008. La ciudad sufre una terrible ola de mal tiempo. Parece que toda el agua que cae torrencialmente del cielo pretende lavar el mal que hay sobre la superficie. Lejos de la gran ciudad turística y religiosa, en una Roma olvidada, aparecen los cadáveres de las víctimas de un asesino en serie. Solo hay un hombre capaz de liderar esa investigación tan delicada: el comisario Enrico Mancini, el único policía que ha asistido a los cursos sobre perfiles criminales en la central del FBI, en Quantico. Mancini atraviesa el peor momento de su vida, pero aun así es obligado a atrapar a «la Sombra», asesino atípico y esquivo que llena los cuerpos de sus víctimas con pistas, no para satisfacer sus instintos homicidas sino para conseguir un propósito lúcidamente maquiavélico. Todo en él tiene un significado, todo es un símbolo, y necesita una última pieza para terminar su rompecabezas: el propio Enrico Mancini. La opinión de la crítica:«Un thriller ambientado en una Roma tan oscura que parece la Los Angeles de James Ellroy.»Eva Grippa, La Repubblica «Larga vida al nuevo comisario del noir italiano. Enrico Mancini ha llegado para quedarse.»Il Fatto Quotidiano «Un extraordinario thriller de acción hecho de acero, óxido y lluvia.»Panorama «Una novela criminal larga y sangrienta, con una clara huella anglosajona.»L'Unità «Un asesino en serie tenebroso, una escritura poderosa y magistral que desvela el miedo que habita cada uno de nosotros, asustados lectores.»Il Corriere della Sera «Un debut penetrante: óptimo el ritmo de la historia, una trama perfecta, llevada hasta el final con habilidad, y unos personajes memorables.»Huffington Post «Así es como se mata, así es como se escribe.»Diario di una dipendenza «Una Roma lluviosa y desconocida, que merece la pena ser leída y así disfrutar de la maestría de Zilahy para sacar con pocas palabras los olores de las páginas.»Malapuella
