HUGE: A novel
by Brent ButtIn comedy, killing is a good thing. From the award-winning screenwriter and International Emmy nominee comes this unexpectedly dark and twisted thriller.It's 1994, and three stand-up comedians have embarked on a tour of smaller communities across a remote stretch of rural Canadian countryside. Dale is a 40-something comic from Chicago who's on the back half of a mediocre career and thinking about quitting the business. Rynn is a 20-something fast-rising comedy star from Dublin with a big break into TV on her horizon. And who is this third guy, the hulking young man added to the bill at the last minute by a booker with dubious motives? He goes by Hobie Huge, and his enormous physical presence is unfortunately not matched by his skills as opening act. But his brutal lack of ability as a comedian turns out to be the least of his companion's problems. Huge starts to show signs of a terrifying capacity for brutality offstage too--and for Dale and Rynn, the tour becomes less about getting laughs and more about getting off the road alive.It's going to take some getting used to, but Brent Butt is no longer just a funny guy. His debut novel is so accomplished it's frightening.

Ha'penny
by Jo WaltonHa'Penny is a subtle and personal exploration of how individuals in postwar London are affected by the wave of fascism which has reached Britain's shore. Each successive tide strengthens the power of the wave, yet lessens the resistance. Alternative history.
Ha'penny: A Story of a World that Could Have Been (Small Change #2)
by Jo WaltonIn 1949, eight years after the "Peace with Honor" was negotiated between Great Britain and Nazi Germany by the Farthing Set, England has completed its slide into fascist dicatorship. Then a bomb explodes in a London suburb. The brilliant but politically compromised Inspector Carmichael of Scotland Yard is assigned the case. What he finds leads him to a conspiracy of peers and communists, of staunch King-and- Country patriots and hardened IRA gunmen, to murder Britain's Prime Minister and his new ally, Adolf Hitler. Against a background of increasing domestic espionage and the suppression of Jews and homosexuals, an ad-hoc band of idealists and conservatives blackmail the one person they need to complete their plot, an actress who lives for her art and holds the key to the Fuhrer's death. From the ha'penny seats in the theatre to the ha'pennies that cover dead men's eyes, the conspiracy and the investigation swirl around one another, spinning beyond anyone's control. In this brilliant companion to Farthing, Welsh-born World Fantasy Award winner Jo Walton continues her alternate history of an England that could have been, with a novel that is both an homage of the classic detective novels of the thirties and forties, and an allegory of the world we live in today. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Hablaré cuando esté muerto
by Anna JanssonUna comunidad de vecinos chismosos, restos arqueológicos, una anciana fugitiva y el cadáver de un niño enterrado en el jardín... En la isla sueca de Gotland, un caso para la policía Maria Wern. Encontrar un cadáver enterrado en el jardín de tu propia casa ya resulta bastante inquietante, pero descubrir que esos huesos pertenecieron a un niño, y que alguien a quien amaste los depositó allí, levanta una nube de sospechas que solo puede disiparse llegando al fondo del asunto. Pese a quien pese. Porque en esta remota y fría isla sueca nadie está libre de pecados, ni de rumores... Ni siquiera los muertos. ¿Conocemos realmente a las personas con quienes compartimos nuestra vida? La experiencia y los años han enseñado a Frida Norrby que todo el mundo tiene un lado oscuro, pero lo que esta enérgica anciana se resiste a creer es que su amado esposo Helge, recientemente fallecido, guardara un secreto tan terrible en el jardín de su propia casa: el cadáver de un niño. Decidida a descubrir lo que se esconde tras ese macabro hallazgo, Frida emprende una búsqueda tenaz sin detenerse a pensar que tal vez esos restos escondan una tupida red de ambiciones y mentiras, y que desenterrar la verdad puede resultar muy peligroso. Porque entre sus aparentemente inofensivos y educados vecinos del barrio de Roma, en la isla de Gotland, los pecados se cometen a puerta cerrada. Donde nadie los vea. A su vez, la inspectora Maria Wern empieza a investigar un extraño caso que ha conmocionado la isla: el asesinato de una enfermera vecina de Frida Norrby. Pero este no es el único misterio: la propia Frida parece haber desaparecido después de que su hogar ardiera en llamas. Maria Wern deberá desentrañar una red de complejas intrigas hasta llegar a una verdad tan espeluznante como conmovedora que saca a la luz nuestros miedos más profundos.

La autora es una maestra en ambas cuestiones.»Nya Wermlands-Tidningen
