Nucleus
by Rory ClementsJune 1939. England is partying like there is no tomorrow, gas masks at the ready. In Cambridge the May Balls are played out with a frantic intensity - but the good times won't last... In Europe, the Nazis have invaded Czechoslovakia, and in Germany the persecution of the Jews is now so widespread that desperate Jewish parents send their children to safety in Britain aboard the Kindertransport. Closer to home, the IRA's S-Plan bombing campaign has resulted in more than 100 terrorist outrages around England. But perhaps the most far-reaching event of all goes largely unreported: in Germany, Otto Hahn has produced the first man-made fission and an atomic device is now a very real possibility. The Nazis set up the Uranverein group of physicists: its task is to build a superbomb. The German High Command is aware that British and US scientists are working on similar line. Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory is where the atom was split in 1932. Might the Cambridge men now win the race for a nuclear bomb? Hitler's generals need to be sure they know all the Cavendish's secrets. Only then will it be safe for Germany to wage war. When one of the Cavendish's finest brains is murdered, Professor Tom Wilde is once more drawn into an intrigue from which there seems no escape. In a conspiracy that stretches from Cambridge to Berlin and from Washington DC to the west coast of Ireland, he faces deadly forces that threaten the fate of the world.
Nuestra Señora de la Soledad
by Marcela SerranoUna intriga policial que excede el género negro para dar paso a una verdadera novela de aprendizaje. Carmen Avila, escritora chilena, ha desaparecido, y el enigma debe resolverlo Rosa Alvallay -detective de 54 años, divorciada, dos hijos-, que tiene el exilio a sus espaldas y un nuevo caso entre las manos. Las pistas son los tres hombres que tuvo Carmen: su marido, un esquivo escritor mexicano y un guerrillero que fue su amante; y también la última frase que dejó la mujer desaparecida: "Me siento como una princesa en un minarete". La última obra de Marcela Serrano sigue las huellas de "Nosotras que nos queremos tanto, Antigua vida mía" y "El albergue de las mujeres tristes", y rastrea entre las distintas soledades la mayor de todas, que es única, insondable y mujer: "Nuestra Señora de la Soledad".
Nuestra mujer en Jamaica
by Verónica Fernández Pérez J. J. WardA veces las urnas y las balas no son incompatibles… Jamaica, 1980. Elecciones generales a la vista. El Partido Nacional del Pueblo (PNP), de centro-izquierda, tiene la posibilidad de obtener un tercer mandato de reformas sociales radicales. Los vínculos con Rusia y Cuba pueden verse estrechados y las relaciones con el FMI, rotas. El surgimiento de nuevos movimientos revolucionarios como los sandinistas, en Nicaragua, y la Junta Revolucionaria de Gobierno (JRG) de El Salvador serán un importante aliciente. Los gobiernos de Londres y Washington no están, en absoluto, dispuestos a consentirlo. Por desgracia, la única persona disponible para encargarse de la situación es alguien que los británicos preferirían no aceptar. Con tan solo veinticinco años, Ruby Parker y el MI6 tienen una turbulenta historia en común. Casi todos los que importan en esa organización la dan como un caso perdido.

Poco antes, sin embargo, aparece flotando en el Támesis un cadáver que la policía identifica con el joven heredero. Es el principio de una onda que afectará a toda la sociedad londinense. En Nuestro amigo común, Dickens demostró todo el vigor de su prosa y de su imaginación en un deslumbrante ejercicio de virtuosismo literario.«Los comienzos de las novelas de Dickens suelen ser memorables, pero ninguno supera el primer capítulo de Nuestro amigo común, penúltima novela que escribió y última que terminó. Llevados por la barca del pescador de cadáveres, nos parece entrar en el reverso del mundo.»ITALO CALVINO

Nuestro juego
by John Le CarréTim Crammer, espía prematuramente retirado tras el fin de la Guerra Fría, vive dedicado a sus viñas y a Emma, su joven amante. Pero, cierto día, ella desaparece, y también lo hace Larry Pettifer, el agente doble que trabajaba para Crammer, igualmente retirado.A partir de este arranque, se teje una compleja incertidumbre de persecuciones múltiples que, con insuperable tensión narrativa, formarán la trama de esta magnífica novela que habla de amor, de amistad y de celos.
