Montaro Caine: A Novel
by Sidney PoitierA baby is born with a coin in her hand. An orphan crafts a mysterious wooden object. The CEO of a large corporation finds himself under extraordinary pressure at work and at home. And on a remote hilltop on a Caribbean island, a medicine man seems to understand the meaning of all these events and to hold the key to the future. Montaro Caine, CEO of the Fitzer Corporation, is losing control of the company he built just as his teenage daughter is experiencing her own difficulties. At this moment of crisis, a man and woman appear at his office with a coin of unknown provenance, composed of a metal unknown on Earth. Montaro immediately recognizes it as the companion of a coin he analyzed as a graduate student working in a lab at MIT, which was later returned to its unidentified owner. The coin's appearance draws the attention of scientists, collectors, financiers, and thieves, all of whom vie to get their hands on it, and Montaro himself hopes that the discovery of the coin will save his company. But the value of the coin lies not in its monetary worth but in its hold on the people who come into contact with it. These include the young woman who is not aware of the object that was found in her hand at birth; an old man who, as a boy, crafted a wooden compact as a gift for a young Montaro Caine; and the elusive healer Matthew Perch, who, from his hut on a small Caribbean island, knows precisely why these people have been brought together and what wisdom the coin imparts. In his first novel, the beloved actor and director Sidney Poitier takes us on a wild and unexpected adventure--from New York to Europe to the Caribbean and beyond. The novel offers Poitier's heartfelt message about the potential each of us has within ourselves, and about being open to the possibility that there are mysteries in the universe, and here on Earth, far greater than we can imagine. An enthralling journey into the magic of existence, Montaro Caine is a radiant debut from an American legend.Praise for Montaro Caine "[A] captivating blend of corporate intrigue and science fiction . . . a thought-provoking tale of caution and hope that is as elegant and riveting as the legendary actor and director himself."--Booklist "Surprisingly intricate . . . sure to please his many fans."--Publishers Weekly"Elegantly written and keenly observed . . . a Little Prince for grown-ups."--Kirkus ReviewsFrom the Hardcover edition.

Montevideo Noir
by Hugo BurelMontevideo noir retrata los tempranos 60 para ambientar una historia de la que emana una negrura densa y para muchos todavía invisible. ¿Keller es un canalla o un hombre víctima de las circunstancias? Quizá usted pueda juzgarlo una vez que lea la novela. Montevideo, abril de 1964: la ciudad apacible pronto va a ingresar en un tiempo de violencia política. El país es gobernado por el Colegiado y la palabra crisis aparece con insistencia en las noticias. No obstante, la convivencia social discurre en la engañosa calma que precede a las tormentas. Ese otoño, un hombre viudo de mediana edad llamado Keller vende la casa familiar y alquila un modesto apartamento en el barrio Parque Rodó después de que su hijo emigra a Australia. Con la mudanza, Keller accede a una nueva vida de hombre solitario que quiere dejar atrás el pasado. A partir de la lectura fortuita de Asesino a sueldo, una ignota novela policial que descubre en su biblioteca, conocerá los pliegues más sombríos de su alma. Obsesionado por Beatriz, su joven vecina, Keller se entrega al juego que el siniestro Murray Sullivan, protagonista de la novela, parece enseñarle página tras página. Ese aprendizaje y su amor imposible por Beatriz empujan a Keller a trasponer límites que nunca soñó cruzar. Así, el juego intertextual entre lo que lee y lo que vive ambienta una trama de crímenes que no da respiro al lector. Montevideo noir reafirma a Hugo Burel en el género de la novela negra con los solventes recursos narrativos que ya había desplegado en El corredor nocturno (Alfaguara, 2005), El desfile salvaje (Alfaguara, 2007) y su reciente y premiada El caso Bonapelch (Alfaguara, 2014). Esta vez indaga en la mente alienada de alguien que deambulará por la Montevideo de hace medio siglo en busca de una nueva identidad. El casino del Parque Hotel, la tienda La Ópera, la confitería La Alhambra y el emblemático café Sorocabana de la plaza Cagancha son algunos de los escenarios en donde Keller nos revelará su mundo inquietante, en el que la liberación y la catarsis necesitarán de un acto compulsivo y absoluto para manifestarse.

As in any good noir, poverty, drugs, and despair cloud many of the characters' lives. But even the stories about druggies have a certain je ne sais quoi...Whether it's the quirkiness of the characters, the ingenuity of the puzzles, or the big hearts inside some of the darkest villains, noir's different north of the border."--Kirkus Reviews"American crime fiction fans will welcome the opportunity to sample the short fiction of some worthy Canadian authors."--Publishers Weekly"Montreal solidifies its reputation as the epicentre for Canadian noir in a strong new anthology."--Quill & Quire, Editor's Choice"Akashic Books has produced more than 80 city-noir collections, from Atlanta to Zagreb.

Today, the city has its own language: Franglais (or Frenglish). Maybe the first word spoken in that language was noir...Perhaps it's fitting that a collection that brings so many of Montreal's cultures together is noir. Much of the city's literary tradition was defined by the two solitudes and most of the works delved deeply into single neighborhoods...This collection, with voices of French and English writers, visits many neighborhoods and combines them into something that is, if not totally coherent, at least as coherent as the beautiful mess that is Montreal...Each neighborhood is different, and of course, each Montrealer (Montrealais) is different, making up the pieces of the mosaic of our city. Some are bright and shiny, others are darker and somber, but all have a shadow in the noir.

Mood Indigo: An Edna Ferber Mystery (16pt Large Print Edition) (Edna Ferber Mysteries #9)
by Ed IfkovicShe was 1932 Broadway's newest sensation. Then she was murdered.Three years after the Crash that ushered in the Great Depression, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and playwright Edna Ferber finds herself a guest at Noël Coward's lavish birthday party. The British wit, enjoying the Christmas holiday season in New York and bracing for a trip to Cleveland in the new year, has filled his room with rich, famous folks whose lives continue in stark contrast to those being lived out in the city's streets and poorer neighborhoods.Edna is haunted by the dark landscape of Manhattan outside Coward's elegant rooms: the snake-like breadlines, the shanty village in Central Park, the gaunt apple sellers in threadbare suits on freezing sidewalks. She has yet to be introduced to the Automat where a few cents are the difference between nourishment and starvation.Among those who've kept fortune intact is Dougie Maddox, the financially astute but socially naïve only son of a Fifth Avenue dynasty. His widowed mother, known as Lady Maud, has kept the thirty-five-year-old on a short leash, but Dougie has crossed paths with Belinda Ross, the new Broadway songbird. He's mesmerized by her, a woman flagrantly courted by other men. But Belinda seems besotted by Dougie. Gossip flourishes—she has a shadowy past and a producer brother anxious to break onto the Great White Way.When Belinda is found strangled late one night in a Times Square Automat, jealous, hot-tempered Dougie is the prime suspect. But Noël, who had befriended him, and Edna, who likes him, team up to clear Dougie's name. Their investigation inevitably takes them deep into Belinda's circle and her past.As the crowds in Time Square ready for a half-hearted New Year's celebration, are Noël and Edna watching the last act of a New York Othello, or is there some other killer-maybe more than one-afoot on the icy pavements of New York City?
