New York Nocturne: The Return of Miss Lizzie
by Walter SatterthwaitLizzie Borden and Amanda Burton join forces with Dorothy Parker to solve a grisly murder in Prohibition-era New York in this &“assured and witty&” mystery (Publishers Weekly). Sixteen-year-old Amanda Burton is thrilled to be spending the summer in New York City at her glamorous uncle John&’s apartment in the Dakota while her parents are off visiting Tibet. It&’s 1924, the decade is roaring, and she&’s out on the town every night with her father&’s flamboyant younger brother—seeing Broadway shows, going to fancy restaurants and speakeasies, meeting John&’s rich and famous friends, and even an occasional gangster. It&’s all great fun—until the morning she stumbles upon her uncle dead on the floor with a hatchet blade buried in his skull. And with Amanda as the prime murder suspect, the New York City cops consider the case as good as closed. Luckily the hapless teen has an old ally in town: the infamous—albeit acquitted—alleged axe murderess Lizzie Borden. Miss Lizzie and her new pal, the renowned acerbic wit Dorothy Parker, are on the job faster than you can say, &“Forty whacks.&” But trolling the glittering New York night scene and underworld for a killer can be a dangerous occupation for an old lady with a shady past, a sharp-witted literary icon, and a teenager with a history of violently losing relatives—especially when they keep turning up dead bodies.

Newport: A Novel
by Jill Morrow“Newport has it all: intrigue, scandal, and seances to summon a spirit that will not rest . . . will keep you turning pages long into the night.” —Deanna Raybourn, New York Times–bestselling authorFollowing in the steps of Beatriz Williams and Amor Towles, this richly atmospheric, spellbinding novel transports readers to the dazzling, glamorous world of Newport during the Roaring Twenties and to a mansion filled with secrets as a debonair lawyer must separate truth from deception.Spring 1921. The Great War is over, Prohibition is in full swing, the Depression still years away, and Newport, Rhode Island’s glittering “summer cottages” are inhabited by the gloriously rich families who built them.Attorney Adrian De la Noye is no stranger to Newport, having sheltered there during his misspent youth. Though he’d prefer to forget the place, he returns to revise the will of a well-heeled client. Bennett Chapman’s offspring have the usual concerns about their father’s much-younger fiancée. But when they learn of the old widower’s firm belief that his first late wife, who “communicates” via seance, has chosen the beautiful Catherine Walsh for him, they’re shocked. And for Adrian, encountering Catherine in the last place he saw her decades ago proves to be a far greater surprise.Still, De la Noye is here to handle a will, and he fully intends to do so—just as soon as he unearths every last secret, otherworldly or not, about the Chapmans, Catherine Walsh . . . and his own very fraught history.A skillful alchemy of social satire, dark humor, and finely drawn characters, Newport vividly brings to life the glitzy era of the 1920s.“A ripping good read.” —Beatriz Williams, New York Times–bestselling author

Newton, la huella del fin del mundo
by Raúl VallarinoPara descubrir los misterios del presente hay que desvelar los secretos del pasado. 1985. El sacerdote italiano Camilo Cavalieri, uno de los mejores agentes de los servicios de inteligencia del Vaticano, es encontrado muerto en extrañas y oscuras circunstancias. Todo parecía especialmente preparado para el asesinato. Veinte años después, su hermano Donato, también sacerdote, tratará de buscar respuestas y descubrirá uno de los secretos mejor guardados de la Iglesia católica. Así arranca esta fascinante y enigmática novela, que narra la estrecha colaboración del gobierno de Estados Unidos y la Santa Sede en operaciones encubiertas. La aparición de unos manuscritos inéditos del eminente científico inglés Isaac Newton en los que aparece fijado el año 2060 como la fecha del fin del mundo y su posterior estudio e interpretación, desencadena una serie de acontecimientos internacionales de consecuencias insospechadas. ¿Es el servicio de inteligencia del Vaticano el más poderoso del mundo? ¿Qué papel juega la CIA en esta conspiración silenciosa? ¿Es posible desentrañar las huellas latentes del pasado? ¿Se están cumpliendo las profecías de Newton? Magistralmente, Raúl Vallarino nos invita, en esta ficción no exenta de realidad, a aventurarnos en un laberinto de escándalos silenciados que mantiene la intriga, la incertidumbre y el misterio hasta sus últimas páginas. «Encuentro más indicios de autenticidad en la Biblia que en cualquier historia profana».Isaac Newton (1642-1727) Reseñas: «Un entretenido thriller histórico que incluye una parte documental y que gira alrededor de la figura de Isaac Newton y su profecías sobre el fin del mundo». Blog Me gustan los libros «Bajo una portada tan oscura como la trama principal de la novela es como se nos presenta Newton la huella del fin del mundo. Una novela de intriga, misterio, detectivesca y con reflejos de novela negra». Blog La petita librería «Escrito desde la rigurosidad y una gran documentación que comparte con los lectores, los escenarios y los hechos son tan reales que se difumina hasta el extremo la línea que separa realidad de ficción». www.icndiario.com
