by Dv BerkomMALOS ESPÍRITUS es la primera novela corta de la serie del thriller lleno de acción y vertiginoso como una película de Kate Jones. Kate Jones se está fugando, con una mochilla llena de dinero, con la intención de poder volver a los Estados Unidos desde México. Por desgracia, un despiadado zar de las drogas llamado Salazar no parará hasta encontrarla para recuperar el dinero que ella le robó y para hacerle pagar por haberlo abandonado. ¿Podrá Kate confiar en alguien? "Cautivante y atrapante desde el principio, esta historia corta es como el sabroso aperitivo para los libros que le siguen en la serie, los cuales no me pienso perder. Una vez que haya recuperado el aliento, claro". Cath 'n' Kindle Book Reviews "Como un tipo más bien estereotipado, en general no disfruto ni leo ficción con una protagonista femenina, sobre todo porque no me puedo conectar con esos personajes. Sin embargo, D.V. Berkom sí que sabe contar una historia, y estoy esperando con ansiedad para seguir leyendo la saga de Kate Jones". Michael Gallagher, Amazon Top 50 Reviewer
Malpractice in Maggody: An Arly Hanks Mystery
by Joan HessA part from small-town feuds and church scandal, things have been so quiet in the little Arkansas town of Maggody that even police chief Arly Hanks has found time for a vacation. But she returns to find trouble brewing and tongues wagging at fever pitch. The local old-folks' home has been sold to a mysterious outsider, and overnight the place has been transformed into the Stonebridge Foundation, an exclusive rehabilitation center complete with a stone-faced guard who doesn't speak a word of English and an even nastier dog. Soon there are rumors flying of mental patients roaming the countryside at night, and every character in town is keeping a gun close at hand, just in case. Everyone is dying to know what goes on behind those inhospitable gates, with the exception of Arly, who has enough rural business to keep her satisfied. When the beautiful young receptionist found drowned in the garden pool is identified as a local girl from nearby Farberville, it's clear the case may not only involve the suspicious characters who've recently moved to town, but also some of the citizens of Maggody, who may have a secret or two to hide themselves. There's the doctor who can't resist a dose of his own medicine and a roster of patients that reads like a who's who of tabloid headlines, as well as the local pastor who gets his spiritual inspiration with a little help from the sacramental wine, and the mayor's wife who makes it her business to know everything about everyone. Soon Arly finds herself on the trail of a killer and discovers she may be theonlyinnocent person left in town.

Mama's Boy Game Over
by David GoudreaultAt the end of this story I'm going to kill myself. And then die. That's the way it is. All good things must come to an end, including me. Mama's Boy Game Over is the third and final book in David Goudreault's bleakly comic bestselling Mama's Boy trilogy. Mama's Boy has been transferred from prison to a psychiatric hospital. He manages to escape, and goes on the run in Montreal, hiding in plain sight. In his short but eventful life, Mama's Boy has already managed to achieve most of his ambitions: fame, fatherhood and friendship, at least in his own rather skewed perspective. But one goal remains: tracking down and reuniting with his estranged mother. By turns poignant and deeply uncomfortable, Mama's Boy's final journey is a wild, desperate bid for freedom, love, and family. In its brevity and persistence, This Radiant Life is a material call for action: it asks us to let go, even just a little bit, of our individuality in favour of mutuality, to arrive separately yet in unison at a radiance in which all living beings can thrive.
