Mentira: Un asesino en serie está matando a los políticos estadounidenses que no hacen su trabajo.
by K'Anne MeinelEstaba enfadada. Estaba harta. Era hora de hacer justicia con los jueces y otros políticos que no estaban haciendo su trabajo, especialmente los que habían mentido para obtener sus puestos en nuestro sistema político. Habían olvidado que eran funcionarios públicos y que debían responder ante el pueblo estadounidense. No era la única que había pensado en expulsarlos, pero eso ya no funcionaba. Era el momento de infundir miedo a quienes se dedicaban a la política y habían utilizado su posición de poder para llenarse los bolsillos. Hubo un tiempo en el que ser funcionario público, entrar en política, había sido algo honorable. Ese tiempo había pasado y no había integridad en la política. Ella estaba a punto de hacer lo que consideraba honorable, eliminando a esos aduladores del sistema. Aunque los acontecimientos de este libro pueden ser similares a hechos reales, todos los personajes son ficticios y cualquier parecido con personas reales es puramente intencionado.

by Yrsa SigurdardóttirMentiras, el nuevo thriller de Yrsa Sigurðardóttir lo tiene todo para inquietarte: ambientado en una isla recóndita, escenarios espectaculares y una historia trepidante. Cuatro personas tienen que ir a un faro remoto, situado en un en un islote del Atlántico al que solamente se puede acceder en helicóptero. Son una técnico de telecomunicaciones, dos operarios de mantenimiento y un fotógrafo. La noche anterior al viaje, uno de ellos sueña que solo dos regresarán. Ya en la isla, las condiciones claustrofóbicas llevarán a un grupo ya de por sí poco cohesionado a altas cotas de pánico y paranoia. Mientras tanto, una familia vuelve a su hogar de Reikiavik tras un intercambio de piso, para descubrir que sus huéspedes estadounidenses se han volatilizado. Cuando el marido revisa los vídeos de seguridad de la cámara que tienen instalada en la casa de veraneo --a la que los invitados tenían acceso--, empieza a sospecharque algo horrible ha sucedido. Una agente de policía encuentra un fragmento de un viejo informe. Por él descubre que a su marido lo interrogaron cuando era muy joven. Ella ahora sospecha que ese antiguo caso puede guardar relación con su reciente intento de suicidio. Al parecer, treinta años atrás, un periodista se ahorcó en el mismo garaje en el que lo ha intentado su marido. Pero ¿por qué falta el resto del informe? En Mentiras, estas tres historias aparentemente inconexas acabarán unidas donde menos se puede esperar. Una novela desasosegante... donde nada es lo que parece. Reseña:«En su thriller Mentiras, Yrsa Sigurðardóttir trata de crímenes y de sus consecuencias, todo envuelto en una historia que pone los pelos de punta.»Morgunbladid

Mephisto Waltz: A Max Lieberman Mystery
by F. R. TallisIn the new novel in the iconic Max Liebermann mystery series, master storyteller Frank Tallis delivers his latest suspenseful and spellbinding tale set in the smoky atmospheric world of fin de siecle Vienna. Vienna, 1904. The body of a man—still sitting in a chair—is discovered in an abandoned piano factory on the outskirts of the city. He has been shot dead but his face has been horribly disfigured with acid, making identification impossible. In front of the body are three chairs positioned conspicuously in a straight line. Who were the former occupants? Had they sat in judgement and pronounced a sentence of death? Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt calls on his good friend Doctor Max Liebermann—psychiatrist and disciple of Sigmund Freud—to assist in an investigation that draws them both into the shadowy and sexually unconventional world of fringe political activism. It is a world populated by Bohemians, Utopian idealists, and anarchists, many of whom endorse acts of terror to achieve their revolutionary aims. When bomb-making equipment is found in a suburban basement, the sinister Imperial intelligence bureau (who have been secretly monitoring Rheinhardt’s investigation) make themselves known. A legendary anarchist known only by his code name—Mephistopheles—is abroad in Vienna. An appalling act of terror has been planned and time is running out. Rheinhardt must hope that Liebermann, with his profound knowledge of psychology and science, will be able to prevent the coming catastrophe. The latest novel in the iconic Max Liebermann mystery series, Mephisto Waltz is a tale of murder, romance, intrigue, and espionage set in the atmospheric world of fin de siecle Vienna.
