Justicia
by Javier Díez CarmonaUna oleada de crímenes está tiñendo de sangre las calles de Bilbao para exigir JUSTICIA. Antonio Arzamendi, exdirector de una sucursal bancaria jubilado, amanece con la noticia del asesinato de Rosa, el amor de su vida y la compañera de trabajo con quien planeaba compartir un tranquilo retiro en Choroní, su particular paraíso caribeño. La policía habla de robo con violencia, pero el único testigo, un militar cubano retirado que llegó a la ciudad en busca de respuestas sobre el asesinato de su hijo, insiste en haber presenciado algo semejante a una ejecución. Ante el empeño de Arzamendi por conocer la verdad, el testigo, Osmany Arechabala, decide ayudarlo. La misma noche de la muerte de Rosa aparece el cadáver de un hombre junto a un banco donde alguien ha escrito la palabra «Justicia». Dos días después, el asesinato de la hija de un acaudalado empresario de la construcción en el puerto viejo de Algorta pone en guardia a las autoridades. Y, a través de un portal de noticias sensacionalista, se comienza a difundir la teoría de que existe una organización dedicada a asesinar a empresarios y banqueros. Osmany, Arzamendi y Borja Maruri, un investigador experto en fraudes contratado por la familia de una de las víctimas, tratarán de descubrir la identidad de los culpables y los motivos que se ocultan tras sus acciones. La verdad no será agradable para nadie.
Justicia
by Gerardo LaveagaCuando el cuerpo sin vida de una mujer aparece en un lugar público, la autoridad decide acabar con el caso fabricando a un culpable. El cadáver de una joven aparece en un lugar público, justo cuando hay una ceremonia con el jefe de gobierno de la ciudad como actor principal. En la blusa de ella, escrita con pintalabios, se lee la palabra "Puta". Es obvio que ese caso debe resolverse de inmediato, pues arroja oprobio sobre la autoridad. El modo de lograrlo es fabricar a un culpable, un enfermero que, por practicar la eutanasia a su madre, de por sí ya estaba en prisión. El verdadero asesino no les importa a los funcionarios, aunque el lector lo sabrá todo sobre él. Narrada a tres voces, todas impactantes y convincentes, sorpresivos giros argumentales y gran tensión llevan al lector tanto a la angustia de ver cómo los destinos de los personajes van encaminándose al abismo como al conocimiento sistemático de numerosos casos que dan cuenta de la manera de operar del sistema judicial mexicano. Y opera de manera escalofriante: jueces, abogados, ministerio público, corporaciones policiacas, centros de reclusión... todo funciona de manera absurda, aberrante, burocrática, inhumana. La crítica ha dicho... "Como cualquier sátira inteligente -hay que pensar en Swift o Voltaire, como sus modelos-, Justicia también resulta dolorosa. Si se trata de un libro importante, no sólo es por el talento de su autor para el suspense o por la eficacia de sus dardos, sino por su capacidad para incidir en uno de los problemas más urgentes del país". Jorge Volpi. "Una novela de esas que se leen de corrido y con las menores pausas posibles, de las que uno espera que termine la jornada laboral o cualquier otra cosa que uno esté haciendo para poder seguir leyendo las aventuras de sus personajes". Manuel Lino, El Economista.

by AB MorganWhen a young man decides to fake his way into a mental hospital, his success may drive him truly mad in this debut psychological thriller. On a warm September morning in the early 1990s, Mark Randall emerges from a commuter train, naked and ranting unintelligibly. This is his first step toward a peculiar goal: getting himself admitted to an NHS acute psychiatric ward. There, he manages to convince professionals that he is psychotic. But who is he and why is he so keen to spend time in a psychiatric hospital? Refusing to speak, Mark is entertained by the confusion of medical personnel who dub him Jesus Trainman. But once admitted to the system, he discovers that his &“mission&” has gotten him into trouble he could never have imagined. Sectioned under the Mental Health Act, decisions about his future are handed to a Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr. Giles Sharman. Mark may have fooled his way into a nightmarish world of abuse from which there is no escape.
Justifiable Means
by Terri BlackstockA violent criminal with a knack for evading justice. A beautiful victim with a secret to hide. Between them stands one good cop, torn between justice and the law. This rape case is an exception: The victim is more than willing to testify. And there’s abundant evidence to put the suspect behind bars. Just one thing bothers Detective Larry Millsaps. Young and beautiful Melissa Nelson seems to know almost too much about the evidence needed to convict her attacker. The unfolding investigation unearths a brutal track record on the part of the suspect . . . and a stunning revelation of Melissa’s own haunting past that could do far worse than destroy her credibility. Caught in a deadly conflict between the ironies of the law and the demands of his Christian convictions, Millsaps finds himself protecting Melissa from a psychopathic stalker’s lethal game of cat-and-mouse . . . even as evidence collects that could send to prison not an inhuman criminal, but the woman Millsaps has come to love. Justifiable Means is the second book in the Sun Coast Chronicles by award-winning author Terri Blackstock. From absorbing legal drama to lightning-paced action, the Sun Coast Chronicles offers suspense at its finest, tempered with remarkable realism and penetrating insights into the human heart.
