Otoño lejos del nido
by Ángel Gil ChezaUna sargento de policía en plena crisis de madurez y un reputado periodista cultural caído en desgracia ven cómo sus vidas se entrecruzan y aúnan esfuerzos para investigar unos extraños asesinatos aparentemente inconexos. La sargento Ivet Portabella investiga la muerte de una joven que aparece colgada dentro de una misteriosa esfera de ramas que pende de un árbol. Al mismo tiempo el asesinato de un alto cargo económico alemán con un tajuaje en la ingle reabre un viejo caso que alguien no quiere remover. En la otra mano de la baraja, Édgar Brossa, periodista freelance en horas bajas que malvive en el subsuelo social de Barcelona, acepta investigar la desaparición de un novelista que tenía el mismo tatuaje que el banquero, una tosca inscripción con la palabra OTOÑO. Ambas investigaciones confluyen e Ivet y Édgar deciden unir sus fuerzas para intentar esclarecer un caso que se complica por momentos. Otoño lejos del nido es una instantánea de un tiempo repleto de soledades, crueles diferencias sociales, nuevos lenguajes incompletos, redes (in)sociales donde todo es mentira en algún grado, porque todos podemos construirnos artificiosamente mientras trabajamos esclavos para este neofeudalismo que impera, al que nos entregamos a ciegas.

Esa sensación que sólo dejan los libros muy bien escritos, esos que no puedes dejar de leer y que, cuando los terminas, te arrepientes de no haber controlado ese ansia viva».Blog Chica Sombra «Si digo q me ha encantado esta obra editada por @sumadeletras estaría siendo injusto por quedarme corto.

But when she gets a call from the office of First Lady Lara Caine, asking Sofie to come in for a private meeting with Lara, her curiosity is piqued. Sofie, like the rest of the world, knows little about Lara—only that Lara was born in Soviet Russia, raised in Paris, and worked as a model before moving to America and marrying the notoriously brash future president. When Lara asks Sofie to write her official biography, and to finally fill in the gaps of her history, Sofie&’s curiosity gets the better of her. She begins to spend more and more time in the White House, slowly developing a bond with Lara—and eventually a deep and surprising friendship with her. Even more surprising to Sofie is the fact that Lara is entirely candid about her mysterious past.

As Lara&’s story unfolds, Sofie can&’t help but wonder why Lara is rehashing such sensitive information. Why to her? And why now?

Our American King
by David Lozell MartinWhen America fell, she fell hard. Now chaos and calamity fill the vacuum left by a collapsing federal government. The strong and the armed prey on the law-abiding. Only the wealthiest Americans, who have bought up and seized every available commodity, get by unscathed. Protected by the United States Army and their own hired guards, the rich have made their deals. But no one is making deals on behalf of the Americans who have-not. John and Mary, a long-married couple, are starving to death in a suburb of Washington, D.C. In the delirium of starvation, John becomes convinced that an American king has risen up -- benevolent, uncorrupted, and able to restore faith and prosperity to the nation. Mary walks with her husband into the District of Columbia to see if there's any truth to this madness of an American king. At the fence bordering the White House, which has been abandoned, overrun, and destroyed, John and Mary find a man who is hanging dead politicians "the way they spoke their words," upside down and backwards. John convinces this man, Tazza, that he can be king and that the people of America will find as much strength and goodness in serving a king as they did in practicing a democracy. Charismatic, royal, and alpha, Tazza is adored by the American people. He converts marauders to his cause, organizes scavengers to feed the hungry, and seems destined to establish a beloved and benevolent American monarchy. But Tazza cannot escape the inevitability of history, and when the federal government returns, a war ensues that sweeps across America and lasts for decades. In this conflict between forms of government, in a people's fight for survival, Our American King unearths massive forces and powerful truths and challenges readers with provocative questions: If a calamity destroyed the American government, who among us would survive? Who would die from weakness and fear? What kind of leaders would emerge?In vintage Martin style, Our American King grabs the reader on page one and never lets go. This is a journey by turns dire and thrilling, authoritative and mythical, heartbreaking and magical. For decades now, David Lozell Martin's novels, including cult favorites Lie to Me and The Crying Heart Tattoo,have set the bar for powerful and eccentric thrillers. This new one is his most powerful yet.
