But Martha and her fellow quilters Lucy and Birdie soon discover a whole field of suspects who might have wanted to take the coach out of the game permanently..."What's knot to love?

Konets
by César Pérez GellidaKonets es el colofón final de una historia conformada por ocho novelas -las trilogías «Versos, canciones y trocitos de carne» y «Refranes, canciones y rastros de sangre», Khimera y la presente- protagonizadas por personajes inolvidables y cuyas tramas están al alcance de muy pocos escritores fuera y dentro de nuestras fronteras. El capítulo pendiente en la despiadada «Obra» de Augusto Ledesma Olek Opiozcenek no es únicamente un nombre más en el extenso listado de víctimas que conformaron la «Obra» de uno de los más crueles asesinos en serie de la historia. Aquel niño nacido de la perversa simiente de Augusto Ledesma ha crecido bajo los cuidados de sus abuelos maternos y con el respaldo económico de una peculiar hada madrina: Rusalka. Sin embargo, Olek está empeñado en desenterrar esos secretos del pasado exprimiendo sus habilidades como hacker; pero, en ocasiones, descubrir el punto de partida condiciona el itinerario y, consecuentemente, el destino. Konets («fin» en ruso) es un thriller frenético, un tratado sobre la maldad estructurado en cuatro movimientos y desarrollado en dos escenarios temporales: la adolescencia de Olek y su madurez, o, lo que es lo mismo, el antes y el después de los sucesos que se narran en Khimera. Ambas novelas conforman el engranaje conclusivo entre las dos aclamadas trilogías «Versos, canciones y trocitos de carne» y «Refranes, canciones y rastros de sangre» que han atrapado a miles de lectores en el inabarcable universo gellidista. «La luz y la oscuridad son dos conceptos que conforman una única idea. Dos fuerzas complementarias, pero opuestas. Si el mar es el yang: la absorción, lo pasivo, lo oscuro, y el río es el ying: la penetración, lo activo y la luz, ¿de cuál de las dos fuerzas te gustaría ser partícipe si tuvieras el privilegio de elegir sabiendo que ninguna se impone a la otra?»
