The Leopard: A Harry Hole Novel (8) (Harry Hole Series #Bk. 8)
by Jo Nesbo Don Bartlett"With Henning Mankell having written his last Wallander novel and Stieg Larsson no longer with us, I have had to make the decision on whom to confer the title of best current Nordic writer of crime fiction . . . Jo Nesbø wins." --Marcel Berlins, The Times (U.K.)Two young women are found murdered in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the work of a serial killer? The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesn't want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norway--his father is dying--Harry's buried instincts begin to take over. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation. There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom "insanity is a vital retreat," someone who will put him to the test--in both his professional and personal lives--as never before. Ruthlessly intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo Nesbø's most electrifying novel yet--absolutely gripping from first to last.From the Hardcover edition.

Los agentes de la Casa de la Ciénaga, donde los mandos del servicio de inteligencia británico envían a los espías caídos en desgracia, reciben el encargo de proteger a un oligarca ruso de visita en el país que el MI5 pretende alistar en sus filas. Mientras dos agentes son enviados al trabajo de vigilancia, Dickie Bow, un antiguo espía de la época de la Guerra Fría, es hallado muerto en los asientos traseros de un autobús en las afueras de Oxford. Y aunque todos los indicios apuntan a un fulminante ataque al corazón, Jackson Lamb, el jefe de la casa de la Ciénaga, está convencido de que Dickie Bow ha sido asesinado. Porque si has sido espía, lo eres para siempre, y Dickie era un veterano de la información, cuyo trabajo en el Berlín de los años de plomo lo consagró como un agente excepcional.

by Dennis LehaneDennis Lehane torna als indrets de Mystic River amb una novel·la concisa i plena de suc, una altra lliçó narrativa que beu de la millor tradició del gènere negre als Estats Units. En Bob Saginowski fa vint anys que treballa a la barra del Cousin Marv's, un bar de clients fidels situat en un barri obrer de Boston que la màfia local fa servir com a punt de trobada per als seus negocis. Silenciós i solitari, en Bob va cada matí a l'església de Saint Dominic a buscar respostes als seus problemes de fe. Dos dies després de Nadal, la seva vida fa un gir inesperat quan, de tornada cap a casa, salva d'un cubell d'escombraries un cadell maltractat i coneix la Nadia, una dona sensible amb una cicatriu enigmàtica al coll. Aquella doble descoberta, però, és només el preludi d'un seguit de fets decisius: el bar pateix un atracament, l'inspector Evandro Torres investiga l'assumpte i les bandes rivals entren en acció.
