La mejor enemiga
by Sergio OlguínCuarta entrega de la periodista más sexy y audaz de la novela policial argentina: Vero Rosenthal. Verónica Rosenthal, la audaz periodista de Nuestro Tiempo, se encuentra de pronto inmersa en una situación inesperada: un antiguo director de la revista, Andrés Goicochea, y su expareja han sido ejecutados a sangre fría, y su amiga Paula, secuestrada durante unas horas. Su jefa, Patricia, está internada en el hospital con una bala en el pulmón. Con todo su círculo alerta y en peligro, Vero se pregunta si la investigación sobre los vínculos entre los poderosos y el mundo del delito que estaba realizando Andrés no será la causa de tanto desastre. Por otra parte, un viejo amigo de la infancia, compañero de juegos en el barrio de Villa Crespo, reaparece de manera sorpresiva para aportar aún más inquietud. Y Federico, el abogado que trabaja en el estudio de su padre, con quien pareciera por fin consolidada su historia de amor, atraviesa una temporada de indecisiones a partir de la incorporación al estudio de una joven y prometedora profesional. La mejor enemiga es la nueva novela de Sergio Olguín y la confirmación de Vero Rosenthal como una de las protagonistas de la novela policial en castellano.

Lulu tiene exmaridos de sobra, y otro en camino, tan pronto como descubra qué está tramando su actual esposo a sus espaldas. ¿Por qué deberían estas cuatro mujeres confesar el mismo crimen?

Twelve years later, one goes missing. The instigator of the Paris trip, J.J., now a journalist, decides to uncover the fate of the missing Melanie Hart on a quest both professional and personal. Last seen, Melanie was the meek, besotted wife of a young classical musician. Now, rumors abound: Melanie had a breakdown and left him. She was seen at Woodstock. She was running drugs. She became a mystic, a mother, a radical. She may be on the lam. She may be dead. J.J.'s investigation leads her into a world of off-the-grid radical activists and bad cops, as well as the Hart family's own carefully constructed version of events. Played out against a background of Vietnam War protests, the Watergate scandal, and Richard Nixon's eventual resignation, J.J.'s investigation calls into question the very nature of choice, and what it means to lead an authentic life.

by Manly P. HallOriginally published in 1926, this short book focused on the symbolism surrounding the ancient patriarch Melchizedek serves as a concise introduction to important imperceptible truths."The elaborate rituals of the ancient Mysteries and the simpler ceremonials of modern religious institutions had a common purpose.

Melhor como uma memoria (Começar de Novo Dois #2)
by Dawn BrowerBelle passou a mão pela saia do vestido de coquetel preto. O salão de festas do hotel onde o evento de arrecadação de fundos estava sendo realizado estava decorado em alto estilo. Ela odiava esses eventos que seus pais insistiam que ela comparecesse. Seu pai, Wentworth Brennan, era um senador dos Estados Unidos. Ela se acostumou a assistir aos eventos tediosos no início de sua vida. Isso não significava que ela crescesse e gostasse deles. Este não seria diferente de nenhum dos outros. “Olá, querida.” Sua mãe, Adria Brennan, inclinou-se e beijou sua bochecha. “Estou feliz que você tenha participado esta noite. O trabalho tem mantido você ocupada demais para nos fazer uma visita?” Ela fez uma careta com o tom condescendente de sua mãe. Adria não aprovava sua ocupação. Belle trabalhava como médica de emergência no hospital local de Castleberry. Isso a mantinha ocupada e ela amava a constante descarga de adrenalina envolvida. Ela não podia imaginar fazer outra coisa. Sua mãe achava que estava abaixo dela. Não era ser uma médica a que ela se opunha. Era não ter uma médica de prestígio na família. Belle tinha uma posição baixa no hospital sem qualquer ambição real de subir para um nível mais alto. Uma especialidade diferente teria sido melhor, outra coisa senão uma cirurgiã geral. Era, na mente da mãe, rude. Sua filha devia subir mais e fazer melhor. Ela veio de uma das melhores famílias e havia expectativas.
