Bum Bum Bum
by Nicolás GiacoboneEL AMOR ES UNA FUERZA DEVASTADORA Tras El cuaderno tachado, internacionalmente aclamada, Nicolás Giacobone entrega una novela explosiva Un hilo trágico une el destino de las cinco personas que tienen voz en esta hipnótica novela. Agustina es una actriz trans que lleva demasiado tiempo encadenando proyectos fallidos y cuya capacidad de amar es tan grande como su voraz deseo de venganza. Verónica es una aplicada guionista televisiva que ve cómo se le escapa de las manos el talento que creyó poseer. Matthew es un hombre simple cuyo matrimonio se desmorona por culpa de sus obsesiones cada vez más desaforadas. Paula es una genial escritora secreta devorada por su propia obra, que atesora en un viejo laptop sin procesador de textos. Juan, pareja de Agustina y en su día rutilante artista conceptual, desconoce que lo van a asesinar en las afueras de Nueva York. Bum bum bum es una historia visceral y extrema, coral y elíptica, llena de anhelos y violencia, habitada por personajes desorbitados que se preguntan dolorosamente quién son. Un libro, en definitiva, desbordado de vida y pasión, pero también de mugre y soledad. Sobre Bum Bum Bum se ha dicho:«Nicolás Giacobone escribe con ferocidad y belleza. La prosa de Bum Bum Bum nos involucra con los personajes en un viaje adictivo de venganza y redención, a tal punto, que sentimos la necesidad de reparar identidades fragmentadas, curar heridas, y acompañar a esas voces tan disimiles y tan unidas en este relato coral, cuya trama completará una lectura decisiva y fascinante hasta la última página».Agustina Bazterrica «Hay dentro de Bum bum bum una rutilante, y desesperada, anatomía del fracaso y la redención».Jordi Soler «Voces de carne y hueso, de mundos ajenos entre sí, tejen el relato con gran profundidad y ritmo, dupla imbatible».Miguel Prenz Sobre El cuaderno tachado se ha dicho:«Una primera novela que ya quisieras tú. Trata de un guionista encerrado por un director en un sótano... Esta gente no se corta, y por eso el libro de Giacobone es tan interesante.»Alberto Olmos, El Confidencial «Un thriller intelectual y claustrofóbico lleno de humor.»Rosa Belmonte, Mujer Hoy «Ágil y original.»Daniel Gigena, La Nación «Fascinante y deliciosamente diábolica.»Léonard Billot, Les Inrocks «Una novela frenética, atravesada por la ira, repleta de humor negro.»Éric Neuhoff, Le Figaro «Una obra sobresaliente que te hará cosquillas en las sinapsis.»Christian Endres, Die Zukunft «Una prosa que va mucho más allá de las virtudes de Birdman: refleja a la perfección cómo nacen las maneras de narrar más novedosas.»Nicola Bardola, Abendzeitung München «El cuaderno tachado es una de esas obras particulares que merecen especial atención porque encierran, secretamente, la rara joya de la literatura.»Sara Prian, La voce di Venezia «Para mi próxima obra maestra, no dudaré en encerrar a Nicolás Giacobone en mi sótano y obligarle a escribir una novela tan traviesa, ingeniosa y espléndida en su conjunto como El cuaderno tachado.»Joshua Ferris

Bump in the Night
by Isabelle HollandFrom Library Journal: When disintegrating divorcee Martha Tierney awakens from a drunken stupor one morning, she discovers that her eight-year-old son Jonathan has failed to arrive at his fancy private school in Brooklyn Heights. The ensuing kidnap-for-kiddie-porn crisis (the kiddie-porn part only peripheral) ensnares Martha in guilt, anxiety, withdrawal symptoms, and incipient self-awareness.

The Bum's Rush: A Leo Waterman Mystery
by G. M. FordSeattle PI Leo Waterman continues to deliver on the lively promise of his first appearance in Who in Hell Is Wanda Fuca? In his third case, following Cast in Stone, Leo stumbles into a battle for the riches of a young pop star, Lukkas Terry, who died of a seemingly accidental heroin overdose. While tracking a missing member of his group of homeless friends, known as "the boys," Leo is given some help from Selena Dunlap, a skid row alcoholic who says she's Lukkas's long-lost mother. Leo checks out her story and believes it, especially when some hoods come looking for her. Who might want to deprive Selena of Lukkas's estate? His manager, music impresario Gregory Conover? Or his spacey girlfriend, Beth Goza, now pregnant with his child? Leo coaxes his homeless pals out of their boozy haze to help him find the answer and trap a killer once again. Leo exhibits just the right mix of grit and wit, surviving two murder attempts and the unpredictable antics of his offbeat pals, whose surveillance work is invisible because, as he observes, society has trained itself to ignore them. Ford demonstrates real skill with Leo and his "residentially challenged" cronies in this fast-moving tale, portraying them sympathetically but without sentimentality.

Bunny Lake Is Missing (Femmes Fatales)
by Evelyn PiperThe classic novel of suspense is &“a headlong story of nerve-wracking tension, psychological validity and emotional drive&” (Oakland Tribune). Blanche Lake is not like the other mothers who come to collect their children at the local nursery school on New York&’s Upper East Side. She lives alone, has a job, and has never been married. It&’s the first day of school when this story begins, and Blanche is eager to see how her daughter, Bunny, has fared away from home. But her expectant waiting becomes a mother&’s most dreaded nightmare: Bunny never materializes. Neither teachers nor students recall the small girl, and soon Blanche is engaged in a frantic search for any trace of her missing daughter. And the worst part is . . . no one believes her. In this fraught and at times freakish tale of suspense, Evelyn Piper takes us deep into the psyche of the 1950s to explore American fetishes, fallacies, and fears around motherhood and sexuality. Blanche emerges as a new kind of heroine—a hard-boiled mom with gun in hand, willing to take any risk to find her missing daughter. &“A classic thriller—a riveting revisit to the dark side of the fifties, where the tension beneath the calm surface has an undertow that drags the reader into its grip. Prime pulp—pure pleasure.&” —Linda Fairstein, author of The Bone Vault
