Plan de evasión
by Adolfo Bioy CasaresEl teniente Nevers viaja a una isla de la Guyana Francesa para cumplir unos meses de trabajo en un complejo carcelario y se transforma en testigo de hechos asombrosos e inesperados. Enviado a trabajar en un complejo carcelario de máxima seguridad en unas islas de la Guayana Francesa, el teniente Enrique Nevers se convierte en testigo del comportamiento inusual de los presos en sus celdas abiertas y llenas de espejos, el aire siempre ausente del gobernador Castel y la extraña sensación de que en esas islas caben tantos mundos como personas.Con una ductilidad de géneros asombrosa que oscila entre la ciencia ficción, la novela de suspenso y el policial, Adolfo Bioy Casares resuelve los diversos enigmas de esta obra recién en las últimas líneas. Si La invención de Morel es, probablemente, la ficción contemporánea más elogiada por Jorge Luis Borges, Plan de evasión es, tal vez, lo más parecido que existe a la novela que este nunca escribió.

Plan de invasión
by Hugo BurelEsta novela cierra la formidable trilogía sobre Guido Santini, demostrando la extraordinaria capacidad narrativa de Hugo Burel. Mientras que en 1940 la Segunda Guerra Mundial seguía su curso, el nazismo intentaba ampliar su poderío y avanzar estratégicamente sobre América Latina. En Uruguay se descubre la existencia de un plan de invasión en manos de Arnulf Fuhrmann, un ciudadano alemán afincado en la ciudad de Salto. Se afirmaba que a dicho documento le faltaban algunos pasajes que podían ser decisivos. En 1942, el detective ítalo-uruguayo Guido Santini, quien ya había actuado en 1933 en el caso Bonapelch, y nueve años después participado en Brasil en la misión Rockefeller, es reclutado nuevamente por el FBI con la misión de encontrar las treinta páginas faltantes del llamado Plan Fuhrmann. De esta forma y casi sin darse cuenta, Santini se encuentra contra su voluntad envuelto en una sórdida conspiración que busca la instalación de bases norteamericanas en Uruguay, luego que estas fueran rechazadas dos años antes por la mayoría del Parlamento. Con una vertiginosa trama de espionaje que involucra al FBI norteamericano, los servicios de inteligencia británicos y alemanes, el gobierno uruguayo de la época, y al periodismo desde el New York Times a El Diario de la noche, Plan de invasión mezcla la ficción con la historia verdadera en una novela inolvidable y adictiva que no da tregua a la lectura.

by Susana Martín GijónAclamada por los lectores y la crítica y elogiada por Carmen Mola («Un thriller impactante. Toda una revelación»), vuelve Susana Martín Gijón, ganadora del Premio Cubelles Noir y finalista de los premios Valencia Negra y Paco Camarasa. UNO DE LOS DIEZ LIBROS MÁS ESPERADOS DE 2022 SEGÚN ESQUIRE, TELVA Y TRENDENCIAS «A Martín Gijón podríamos emparentarla con los autores de la novela negra mediterránea, los Camilleri, Márkaris [...]; con el eco aún cercano de Vázquez Montalbán.»Javier Morales, Público La aparición en un campo de golf del cadáver desangrado de una mujer pone en jaque al Grupo de Homicidios de Sevilla: a la víctima le han cercenado los pies. La inspectora Camino Vargas tendrá que cancelar las vacaciones previstas con Paco Arenas, su antiguo mentor y amor secreto con quien por fin convive, para ponerse a investigar en medio de una ciudad en alerta máxima por las condiciones climáticas y devastada por unas lluvias torrenciales que han dejado varios desaparecidos. Mientras tanto, aumentan las noticias que apuntan a que el asesino apodado el Animalista podría seguir vivo y no estaría actuando solo: unos hombres despellejados en una granja, un sangriento suceso en un acuario y un misterioso robo en el puerto de Huelva parecen dibujar un plan grotesco. Pero pronto toda la brigada se verá implicada en una carrera contrarreloj para rescatar a millones de personas de un peligro mucho mayor del que nadie se había percatado antes. La crítica ha dicho:«Agatha Christie tiene quien le guarde el trono».Laura Blanco, Diario de Sevilla «Una de las escritoras más interesantes del panorama nacional. [...] Ha llegado para quedarse, con paso firme. Estamos convencidos de su éxito».IsraelAránguez, Hoy por Hoy (Cadena SER) «Martín Gijón domina el arte de la escritura, ahora ha cogido fuerte las riendas y no las va a soltar».Xavier Borrell, director de Cubelles Noir «Ya estoy esperando otra novela [suya]. Así da gusto.»Manuel Rodrigo Rivero, Babelia Sobre Progenie y Especie:«Una lectura perfecta [...]. Una novela policíaca amena que, no obstante, contiene una carga de denuncia social, con una dimensión de género poco habitual en este tipo de libros, muy bien integrada en la trama».Aixa de la Cruz, Babelia «Progenie se lee como una novela negra donde la realidad se impone en todo momento. Los personajes, inspectores, comisarios, agentes, médicos, enfermeras, están trazados con un marcado naturalismo, buscando representar tipos o roles de hoy en día. Presentando ante el lector, en particular, los deseos, sueños y esperanzas de mujeres muy distintas, pero unidas por el ansia de ser madres sin perder la dignidad.»Juan Bolea, El Periódico «Quien no arriesga, no gana, y desde luego Susana Martín Gijón apuesta y vence con esta novela a veces incómoda, de plena actualidad, que mantiene la tensión hasta el final y que es una delicia leer».Susana Rodríguez Lezaun, directora de Pamplona Negra «Una mirada a los rincones más perversos de nuestra sociedad [con] personajes muy poderosos y tramas muy bien construidas».Salvador Gutiérrez Solís, Huelva Información «Una historia trepidante llena de crímenes».Andrés González-Barba, ABCultural
