Missing: Una investigación
by Alberto FuguetFuguet está parado todo el tiempo tambaleándose sobre los hombros del mejor Bolaño. Es un gusto verlo bailar así, con su verdad en brazos. FOGWILL Por años Alberto Fuguet escuchó relatos difusos o esquivos acerca del paradero de su tío Carlos, que un día desapareció sin más del ámbito familiar. Con el vago indicio de que quizás estaría perdido en Estados Unidos, el sobrino, convertido ya en un escritor reconocido, inició una investigación en la que mezcló hechos y elucubraciones, intuiciones y recuerdos. Missing, el libro que registra todo, no es tanto un thriller, pues el tío aparece pronto y su voz se toma la novela, sino una cautivante indagación autobiográfica y una exploración en la voluntad humana de desaparecer, en las derivas del fracaso. Un viaje por los caminos no pavimentados del sueño americano. Esta edición incluye un epílogo que cuenta el detrás-de-escena de la novela y cierta farsa periodística que rodeó su aparición. "Gracias por Missing: es una gran novela verdadera. Fuguet está parado todo el tiempo tambaleándose sobre los hombros del mejor Bolaño. Es un gusto verlo bailar así, con su verdad en brazos." Fogwill "En todos los libros de Fuguet que he leído hay siempre, junto con la historia que cuentan, una voluntad de innovar, tanto en la lengua como en la estructura narrativa. En Missing es donde mejor lo ha conseguido." Mario Vargas Llosa Fuguet está parado todo el tiempo tambaleándose sobre los hombros del mejor Bolaño.

Mission Canyon
by Meg GardinerEvan Delaney, novelist and legal go-fer, is dressed as Diana Ross in order to crash a fancy-dress party and serve a summons, when she hears that Franklin Brand is back in town. Brand is the hit-and-run driver who sentenced Evan's lover Jesse to life in a wheelchair, and killed his best friend. Since the accident, Brand has been avoiding justice overseas; but if he's back, Evan and Jesse are determined to get him, helped by the dead boy's brother Adam. Brand had been a high-flier in Mako Technologies, a cyber-security firm, and this is where Evan starts looking. She quickly uncovers evidence that Brand was embezzling funds, and that Adam's brother knew all about it. So maybe that hit-and-run wasn't an accident at all?Then the policeman investigating is killed, and Adam and Jesse both come under suspicion. The plot has more twists, thrills and spills than a white-knuckle ride, and is complicated by the confused emotions of the main parties involved: Jesse feels a survivor's guilt; Adam resents the fact that Jesse is alive while his brother died. But there are more corpses - including a near miss for Evan herself - to come before the bad guys are finally brought to book.

Mission Fear
by George Harmon CoxeMission of Fear, first published in 1962, is a novel by master crime fiction author George Harmon Coxe. From the dust-jacket: Sam Adler appeared one afternoon at Marion Hayden’s door trying for the big pay-off—Blackmail. The next day he was dead—paid-off with a knife in the back—and for the Haydens the nightmare had just begun. Adler’s story had been stunning enough before—now, with State Police Lieutenant Garvey pushing hard it could mean a murder indictment for both of them. And Garvey kept the questions coming fast—questions that all reduced to one: Was Ted Corbin alive? Ted Corbin—Marion Hayden’s ex-husband, and by every evidence dead these two years in an airplane accident. Doris Lamar knew some of the answers—but she had her own good reasons for keeping them to herself. John Hayden didn’t have any answers—yet. But he did have two photographs and a hunch; and that was why he was traveling desperately across the country now—in search of a dead man. For if Corbin were alive he might know all the answers —might very well be the answer.This was John Hayden’s last chance: he had to find Corbin ... he had to find him.George Harmon Coxe (1901-1984) was a prolific author of crime fiction, publishing 63 novels between 1937 and 1975.
