Lemon: A Novel
by Kwon Yeo-SonNAMED A MOST-ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR BY MS. MAGAZINE AND CRIMEREADSParasite meets The Good Son in this piercing psychological portrait of three women haunted by a brutal, unsolved crime. In the summer of 2002, when Korea is abuzz over hosting the FIFA World Cup, eighteen-year-old Kim Hae-on is killed in what becomes known as the High School Beauty Murder. Two suspects quickly emerge: rich kid Shin Jeongjun, whose car Hae-on was last seen in, and delivery boy Han Manu, who witnessed her there just a few hours before her death. But when Jeongjun&’s alibi checks out, and no evidence can be pinned on Manu, the case goes cold. Seventeen years pass without any resolution for those close to Hae-on, and the grief and uncertainty take a cruel toll on her younger sister, Da-on, in particular. Unable to move on with her life, Da-on tries in her own twisted way to recover some of what she&’s lost, ultimately setting out to find the truth of what happened. Shifting between the perspectives of Da-on and two of Hae-on&’s classmates struck in different ways by her otherworldly beauty, Lemon ostensibly takes the shape of a crime novel. But identifying the perpetrator is not the main objective here: Kwon Yeo-sun uses this well-worn form to craft a searing, timely exploration of privilege, jealousy, trauma, and how we live with the wrongs we have endured and inflicted in turn.

Le détective Axel Webb est engagé par un agent du Naichō japonais sur la recommandation de son ami Yakuza, Hibiki Sato, pour retrouver le katana Honjō Masamune qui a été vu pour la dernière fois en 1945 quand il a été emmené de la station de police de Mejiro par un sergent de l’armée américaine. Le nom du sergent a été transcrit en japonais par la police. Des années plus tard, il a été retranscrit en anglais. Malheureusement, il n’y a aucune information sur quiconque de ce nom ayant servi au Japon durant l’occupation après-guerre. Le katana n’est pas une simple épée ; il est considéré comme l’épée la plus parfaite jamais forgée. C’est aussi un symbole du shogunat Tokugawa. Le gouvernement japonais ne veut pas que le trésor national perdu et ancien symbole culturel tombe entre les mains du nouveau parti politique néofasciste récemment formé déterminé à gagner du pouvoir et à ramener le pays à ses politiques de l’avant-guerre. Le nouveau parti politique, le Meiyo Aru Dōmei, est une alliance de quatorze des groupes de droite les plus extrémistes, incluant le politicien Junichi Kato, le chef de l’Azuna-tō, le Yakuza Fukashi Nakamura, Kumichō du Meiyo-kai, et Daizō Hokama, le chef de l’alliance, le Meiyo Aru Dōmei.

Durant ses recherches, il résout le nom correct du sergent qui a pris l’épée à la station de police. Il annonce qu’il révèlera le nom du soldat dans son prochain podcast,

Les Supervivents
by Riley SagerPer sobreviure a un assassí, necessites instint assassí. «El primer gran thriller de l'any. Si et va agradar Perduda, t'agradarà Les supervivents.»Stephen King Llegeix-la abans que arribi al cinema! Quincy Carpenter, una estudiant universitària, va ser l'única supervivent de la matança que va tenir lloc a Pine Cottage, on passava el cap de setmana amb cinc amics. Immediatament va passar a formar part d'un club al qual ningú no vol pertànyer: el que la premsa ha batejat com les «Últimes Noies». Són la Lisa, que va perdre nou companyes de la seva sororitat; la Sam, que es va enfrontar al seu atacant al motel on treballava, i la Quincy, que va fugir bosc a través per escapar de l'home al qual tan sols és capaç de referir-se com «Ell». Al cap de deu anys, la Quincy gaudeix d'una certa normalitat. Té un nòvio que la cuida, un blog de cuina, un apartament molt bonic i, a més, compta amb la presència terapèutica d'en Coop, el policia que li va salvar la vida. La memòria no li permet recordar els esdeveniments d'aquella nit i la medicació l'ajuda a preservar aquest equilibri. Però quan la Lisa apareix morta en circumstàncies estranyes, la Quincy ha d'afrontar el passat, perquè la història pot tornar a començar. La crítica ha dit...«Les supervivents et necessiten. Seu i comença a llegir aquest llibre. De pressa, més de pressa, submergeix-te en les seves pàgines. [...] Et costa respirar. Potser l'hauries de deixar anar. Fer mitja volta. Però no pots parar de llegir. És el millor llibre de l'any.»Lisa Gardner «Sager aconsegueix mantenir alerta el lector fins al gir final. Una veu fresca en el gènere del thriller psicològic.»Kirkus Reviews «Meitat thriller, meitat història de terror, Les supervivents evoca Divendres 13, Halloween o Dona blanca soltera busca, però amb una essència pròpia i sofisticada. Tensa i sangonosa, aquesta novel·la de misteri esborronadora convida a les comparacions amb Gillian Flynn. Els lectors s'haurien de preparar per dormir amb els llums encesos.»ShelfAwareness «Sager juga astutament amb els tòpics de pel·lícules de terror com Scream o Dona blanca soltera busca i els ret un homenatge.»Booklist «Ple de girs, sobresalts, personatges poc fiables i referències a la cultura del cinema de terror, el primer thriller psicològic de Sager manté el lector en suspens fins al final.»Library Journal
