Icy Clutches: Curses!, Icy Clutches, And Make No Bones (The Gideon Oliver Mysteries #6)
by Aaron ElkinsEdgar Award–winning series: On a trip to Glacier Bay, Alaska, the Skeleton Detective pursues a cold-hearted killer who buries evidence in an avalanche. Gideon Oliver expects to be amicably bored when he takes on the role of &“accompanying spouse&” at a lodge in the magnificent wild country of Glacier Bay, Alaska, where his forest ranger wife, Julie, is attending a conference. But it turns out to be exactly his cup of tea. There is another group at the lodge: six scientists on a memorial journey to the site of a thirty‑year‑old glacial avalanche that killed three of their colleagues. Their leader is TV&’s most popular science personality, the unctuous M. Audley Tremaine, who is the sole survivor of the fatal avalanche. But he does not survive long and is soon found hanged in his room. If that is not upsetting enough, shocked hikers discover human bones emerging from the foot of the glacier—are they the shattered remains of the three who died, finally seeing daylight after their two‑mile, three‑decade journey within the glacial flow? When the FBI seeks expert help, everyone agrees how fortunate it is that Dr. Oliver, the famed Skeleton Detective, is on the scene. Everybody, that is, but the person who wants ancient history to stay that way—and who believes that murder is the surest way to keep the past buried. Icy Clutches is the 6th book in the Gideon Oliver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Identidad oculta
by Eugeni VerdúIdentidad oculta es un thriller policiaco que nos adentra en el mundo del arte contemporáneo y su entorno. Su trepidante trama nos transporta a diferentes escenarios, desde Barcelona a Londres, pasando por San Petersburgo, Filadelfia, Miami y Nueva York, entre otros. Por el autor de La abadía de los herejes. Udrev, un reconocido pintor y escultor, es salvajemente asesinado. Su cadáver aparece pintado y cubierto de extraños dibujos y grabados. El recién ascendido inspector Jan Balasch se hará cargo de la investigación ayudado por la agente Carla Janerich, adscrita a la Brigada de Patrimonio, experta en arte y dotada de una especial intuición. Pese a la incansable labor de los policías, y de las diferentes líneas de investigación abiertas, los resultados son desalentadores. Parece que un denso manto de niebla se hubiera apoderado de la escena del crimen y velado el rostro de sus autores, como si ese asesinato ritual nunca hubiera existido. Ya resignados a archivar el caso, el azar les lleva a descubrir un pendrive en el interior de una de las esculturas del artista. Inicialmente parece tratarse de una broma póstuma de Udrev, pero la inesperada filtración de su contenido a la prensa desencadena una serie de robos, asesinatos y suicidios en diferentes ciudades de Europa y Estados Unidos que pondrán a Balasch y Janerich, en coordinación con Interpol, tras la pista de la trama criminal urdida por un poderoso lobby del mundo del arte. Inmersos en la investigación advertirán que existe una intriga paralela todavía más inquietante. La crítica dijo sobre La abadía de los herejes...«A caballo entre El nombre de la rosa y las intrigas medievales donde se confronta el saber, las pasiones y la política. [...] Verdú pinta un completo fresco en torno al medievo en el sureste de Francia.»Fernando Barea, El Ideal «Un libro con traición, aventura, acción, religión... ¡no le falta de nada!»Página Dos, RTVE«Una trama muy bien urdida, muy bien contada, que mantiene al lector con una intriga permanente.»De lector a lector «Una novela muy instructiva y entretenida.»Libros que hay que leer «Un thriller de amor, sexo, familia, herejías, torturas e historia que te atrapará. Un arranque potente, un núcleo interesante y un final bien resuelto.»Tendencias Hoy«Es una novela apasionante. Se disfruta mucho ya que la intriga hace que su lectura te atrape.»Sintiendo tus letras

by Ingrid Thoft"Thoft's gripping sequel...A quirky and empathetic heroine, a fast-moving plot, and a surprise ending make this a winner." --Publishers Weekly Firecracker P.I. Fina Ludlow returns in the next hard-driving entry in the acclaimed series by Ingrid Thoft. It's been a couple months since Fina's last big case--the one that exposed dark family secrets and called Fina's family loyalty into question--but there's no rest for the weary, especially when your boss is Carl Ludlow. Renata Sanchez, a single mother by choice, wants to learn the identity of her daughter Rosie's sperm donor. A confidentiality agreement and Rosie's reticence might deter other mothers, but not Renata, nor Carl, who's convinced that lawsuits involving cryobanks and sperm donors will be "the next big thing." Fina uncovers the donor's identity, but the solution to that mystery is just the beginning: within hours of the case going public, Rosie's donor turns up dead. Fina didn't sign on for a murder investigation, but she can't walk away from a death she may have set in motion. She digs deeper and discovers that DNA doesn't tell the whole story and sometimes, cracking that code can have deadly consequences.
