If the Dead Rise Not: A Bernie Gunther Novel (Bernie Gunther #6)
by Philip Kerr<P>An instant classic in the Bernie Gunther series, with storytelling that is fresher and more vivid than ever. <P> Berlin, 1934: The Nazis have secured the 1936 Olympiad for the city but are facing foreign resistance. Hitler and Avery Brundage, the head of the U.S. Olympic Committee, have connived to soft-pedal Nazi anti- Semitism and convince America to participate. Bernie Gunther, now the house detective at an upscale Berlin hotel, is swept into this world of international corruption and dangerous double-dealing, caught between the warring factions of the Nazi apparatus. <P>Havana, 1954: Batista, aided by the CIA, has just seized power; Castro is in prison; and the American Mafia is quickly gaining a stranglehold on the city's exploding gaming and prostitution industries. Bernie, who has been unceremoniously kicked out of Buenos Aires, has resurfaced in Cuba with a new life, seemingly one of routine and relative peace. But Bernie discovers that he truly cannot outrun the burden of his past: He soon collides with a vicious killer from his Berlin days, who is mysteriously murdered not long afterward-and an old lover, who may be the murderer. <P>If the Dead Rise Not is everything fans have come to expect from Philip Kerr: twisted intrigue, tight plotting, quick-witted one-liners, a hang-by-your-thumbs ending, and, most significant, a richer, wiser Bernie Gunther.

by Janet Malcolm«Ella no pudo haberlo hecho pero tiene que haberlo hecho»: este es el enigma en torno al cual gira el nuevo libro de Janet Malcolm, una obra basada en el escándalo nacional que supuso para Estados Unidos un asesinato en la hermética comunidad judía de Queens, Nueva York. La joven y atractiva Dra. Mazoltuv fue acusada de haber contratado a un asesino que acabara con la vida de su ex marido, con el agravante de que sucedió en presencia de Michelle, el hijo de ambos. El fiscal lo consideró un caso de venganza, ya que el ex marido había conseguido misteriosamente la custodia del niño. En el libro se aborda el juicio desde múltiples ángulos siempre guiados por la prosa sagaz de Malcolm.
