The Innocents (Quinn Colson #6)
by Ace AtkinsShe was just 17, a high school dropout named Milly Jones, found walking down the middle of the highway, engulfed in flames. Even in a tough Mississippi county like Tibbehah, it shatters the community, and it is up to Sheriff Quinn Colson, back on the job after a year away, and his deputy Lillie Virgil, to investigate what happened, and why. Before long, however, accusations start to fly; national media and federal authorities descend; and what seemed like a senseless act of violence begins to appear like something even more disturbing - with more victims waiting in the shadows.

They stand by each other, when no one else will. They’re sisters. Then their parents divorce. Soon, Alice, Charlie, and their mother are leaving their old life behind. They’re saying goodbye to their cramped Cambridge apartment and driving along the rocky Connecticut coastline-to their stepfather's summer estate in the wealthy town of Serenity Point. The minute they drive through the gates, they wish they never had. Their arrival reopens old wounds, memories of lost loves, best friends-and bitter rivals.

Los inocentes
by Oswaldo Reynoso"Leer Los inocentes bien puede ser un hito en una dolescencia masculina latinoamericana" Alberto Fuguet "Uno a uno los muchachos se fueron. Al final solo quedó Colorete. Me asustó su mirada. Ya no había cólera ni burla en sus ojos: había ternura, extraña, terrible. Cuando se dio cuenta que lo miraba, se avergonzó. Quise darle la mano y decirle: "Te comprendo". Pero qué difícil es sincerarse sin cebada". En la Lima de los años cincuenta, una pandilla de adolescentes se refugia bulliciosa y buscapleitos en billares, cines y cantinas. Colorete, El Príncipe, El Rosquita, Cara de Ángel: adolescentes rechazados por el mundo adulto pasean su soledad y sus sueños sin futuro. Estas cinco historias son una incursión en las márgenes de la vida capitalina, en un momento de grandes cambios. Sobre la obra y el autor: "Quisiéramos afirmar que con Los inocentes, de Oswaldo Reynoso, se inicia el hallazgo de las formas de revelarlo. Reynoso ha creado un estilo nuevo: la jerga popular y la alta poesía reforzándose, iluminándose. Nos recuerda un poco a Rulfo, en esto". José María Arguedas "A Oswaldo le gustan las cosas austeras, pero delicadas". Enrique Planas "En Los inocentes hay una apuesta ética y estética que supera la moda. Se trata de un libro que hasta el día de hoy sigue abriendo nuevos caminos para jóvenes escritores". Sergio Galarza

The Inquisitor
by Peter ClementIt's spring in Buffalo, New York. At sprawling St. Paul's Hospital, new interns rush through the halls, staff doctors scramble to catch their protégés' mistakes, and everyone is aware of one unrelenting threat: A new and vicious strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has hit America hard and is menacing the hospital like a wolf at the door. Wrapped in spacesuit-like garb to search for every possible source of infection, the hospital staff desperately tries to protect the lives of patients-and of each other. Yet despite St. Paul's best efforts, people are dying. In this chilling medical landscape, no one notices the slight spike in the death rate in a palliative care ward. The prevailing attitude is "They're supposed to die. That's why we call them terminal. " When these same patients complain of terrifying near-death experiences, the hospital staff attributes it to delirium caused by medication. But when ER chief Dr. Earl Garnet gets blamed for the unexpected death of a patient, he defies protocol and opens an independent investigation. He quickly becomes suspicious that something far more sinister than disease is killing the hospital's most vulnerable patients. For Garnet, looking into the deaths means rattling relationships that have been built over years-relationships with several men and women he once trusted but now must doubt. With the SARS epidemic spinning out of control and a storm of suspicion, fear, and mistrust raging through the corridors of St. Paul's, the hospital is rocked by a horrifying crime: A respected researcher is found brutally murdered. And his executioner may be ready to strike again. With brilliant pacing, scalpel-sharp suspense, and an unmatched knowledge of the workings of a big-city hospital, Peter Clement is a thriller writer in a league of his own. In his new work, he takes us on a galvanizing, frightening, and constantly fascinating journey set on the front lines of medicine-where some dangers can be prevented and others can only be feared.

by Mark Allen SmithA spectacularly original thriller about a professional torturer who has a strict code, a mysterious past, and a dangerous conviction that he can save the life of an innocent child Geiger has a gift: he knows a lie the instant he hears it. And in his business - called "information retrieval" by its practitioners - that gift is invaluable, because truth is the hottest thing on the market. Geiger's clients count on him to extract the truth from even the most reluctant subjects. Unlike most of his competitors, Geiger rarely sheds blood, but he does use a variety of techniques - some physical, many psychological - to push his subjects to a point where pain takes a backseat to fear. Because only then will they finally stop lying. One of Geiger's rules is that he never works with children. So when his partner, former journalist Harry Boddicker, unwittingly brings in a client who demands that Geiger interrogate a twelve-year-old boy, Geiger responds instinctively. He rescues the boy from his captor, removes him to the safety of his New York City loft, and promises to protect him from further harm. But if Geiger and Harry cannot quickly discover why the client is so desperate to learn the boy's secret, they themselves will become the victims of an utterly ruthless adversary. Mesmerizing and heart-in-your-throat compelling, The Inquisitoris a completely unique thriller that introduces both an unforgettable protagonist and a major new talent in Mark Allen Smith.
