Pitfall (The John Brenner Series #1)
by Cameron Bane&“Action, gunplay, and well-crafted storytelling . . . for those whose hearts pump hot for shoot-&’em-up adventures like Taken and John Wick.&”—Robert Liparulo, bestselling author of the Dreamhouse Kings series Life has never been easy for former Army Ranger John Brenner. The wounded Iraqi war vet and ex-cop must rely on his wits, his fists, and a wry sense of gallows humor to make it through each challenging day.

What begins as a simple disappearance morphs into something far more insidious as he finds himself plunged into a horrifying world of organ harvesting, torture, mutilation, and madness. Every dark trick John learned in his former trade of dealing death to the deserving will be brought to bear as he tries to keep his promise of bringing the girl back alive. In doing so, not only will his skills be tested to the breaking point, but his very sanity as he battles a grasping evil that stretches across the globe . . . &“The star of this page-turner—former Army Ranger John Brenner—well, let&’s just say in terms of skill, wit, and ability to kick some serious butt, Jack Reacher better watch out!&”—Robert Liparulo, bestselling author of the Dreamhouse Kings series
Pittsburgh Noir (Akashic Noir #0)
by Kathleen GeorgePittsburgh Noirroars forth, exploring the hidden underworld of what has often been called “the most livable city in America.”“Despite Pittsburgh being labeled the country’s most livable city, the fictional citizens populating the 14 high quality stories in Akashic’s noir anthology centered on the Steel City have the same dreams, frustrations, passions, and vices as anyone else.” —Publishers Weekly “Perfect for adventurous book groups and for travelers seeking the less rosy side of the cities they’re planning to visit.” —Library JournalAkashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book. Brand-new stories by: Stewart O’Nan, Hilary Masters, Lila Shaara, Rebecca Drake, Kathleen George, Paul Lee, K. C. Constantine, Nancy Martin, Kathryn Miller Haines, Terrance Hayes, Carlos Delgado, Aubrey Hirsch, Tom Lipinski, and Reginald McKnight. From the introduction by Kathleen George: “When the steel business faltered and died, ‘the smoky city’ reinvented itself as a white-collar urban site, fueled by its thriving universities. It had been a place so dark with pollution in the steel days that men carried clean shirts with them to work in order to change during the day. Now you can see the hills, the rivers, the rhythmic skyline—and as the cameras are fond of displaying at sports events, the city is now glittering and beautiful . . . "What is Pittsburgh to noir and noir to Pittsburgh? We certainly have our rough streets and grisly murders. But dark crime stories depend on something in addition to killing. The best examples of the genre revolve around private moralities and private law; they are the stories of people pushing against real or imagined oppression. In Pittsburgh Noir, as in most of the novels and films that gave the genre its name, the real story is the dark underbelly of existence, the fear and guilt and rebellion and denial in regular people: the woman buying groceries, the man grilling hot dogs. Their secret lives.“

Places and Spaces of Crime in Popular Imagination (Topographies of (Post)Modernity: Studies in 20th and 21st Century Literature in English)
by Olga Roebuck Šárka BubíkováThe publication Places and Spaces of Crime in Popular Imagination is part of the Topographies of (Post)Modernity: Studies in 20th and 21st Century Literature in English Series. The text reflects growing interest in popular literary genres not only among the readers, but mainly in literary research. This still rather under-researched area is now representing fertile grounds for various theoretical approaches. As the publication mainly declares its interest in crime-related genres, its focus on place is justifiable: it reflects the postmodern “spatial turn”, manifested in an increased emphasis on the location of crime, not necessarily in the sense of the crime scene itself, but as a socio-geographical place and space. The setting of crime has a specific and well-defined role in the traditional crime genres, but this role has been redefined in the modern versions of crime-related fiction. ranging from educating the reader in certain areas, bringing up current problems, deepening the psychological aspect of individual characters etc. The published volume brings forth various aspects of this new role of place in popular genres centering on crime and gives space to its deeper analysis. It is not the researchers´ objective to provide overviews of the history of the theoretical discussion of place and space in literature in general. Instead, although the essays do employ a variety of critical approaches, the collection strives to show practically how place and space is employed in the specific material of the selected works.The seven chapters are written by scholars from the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. Two essays represent London as a topos and a chronotope in the works by contemporary British writers of crime fiction. The selection is to show how varied the literary London can be, albeit in the often rather formulaic popular genre. The essays also document a shift from the country setting typical for the British Golden Age of detective fiction to the more recent urban focus. One contribution focuses on the genre of spy novel to show how rendering of place and space can contribute to the genre’s typical atmosphere of suspense, secrets and disquiet. Four more essays analyze a variety of places and spaces in American crime fiction, crime comics and crime film. All of the places are in some way specific to American milieu – the suburbia, the university campus, the wilderness, a holiday resort with a state park. These essays are designed to show the contemporary variety of places where crime literature (or film) is set and to document a shift from the traditional urban setting of American hard-boiled fiction to a far greater recent diversity.The volume brings together most recent central European research on the topic of place and community in popular imagination. Thus, it represents a unique insight into this growing phenomenon, which can no longer be overlooked by the academic community.
Places for Dead Bodies
by Gary HausladenFrom Tony Hillerman's Navajo Southwest to Martin Cruz Smith's Moscow, an exotic, vividly described locale is one of the great pleasures of many murder mysteries. Indeed, the sense of place, no less than the compelling character of the detective, is often what keeps authors writing and readers reading a particular series of mystery novels. <P><P> This book investigates how "police procedural" murder mysteries have been used to convey a sense of place. Gary Hausladen delves into the work of more than thirty authors, including Tony Hillerman, Martin Cruz Smith, James Lee Burke, David Lindsey, P. D. James, and many others. Arranging the authors by their region of choice, he discusses police procedurals set in America, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Europe, Moscow, Asia, and selected locales in other parts of the world, as well as in historical places ranging from the Roman Empire to turn-of-the-century Cairo.

Plagio: Una novela
by Héctor Aguilar Camín«Fue así como me hice escritor, copiando con humildad y reescribiendo con soberbia las cosas que admiraba.» El lunes anunciaron que se había ganado un premio literario. El martes lo acusaron de haberse plagiado unos artículos periodísticos. El jueves lo acusaron de haberse plagiado también el tema de la novela premiada. El lunes siguiente setenta y nueve escritores firmaron una carta exigiendo que devolviera el premio y que renunciara a su puesto en la universidad, un pequeño imperio. El miércoles renunció al premio y al puesto. El mismo miércoles supo que su mujer tenía tratos con el instigador de la campaña en su contra. El lunes de la siguiente semana le llevaron la grabación de una llamada entre su mujer y su rival. El jueves su rival amaneció acuchillado. El viernes lo visitó la policía. Todo esto requiere una explicación. La explicación es esta novela: un juego de espejos sobre el plagio, la admiración, la envidia, los celos, el azar, la muerte. Y la policía.
