Recovering Police Legitimacy: A Radical Framework
by Rafe McGregorTransatlantic policing is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of legitimacy, epitomised by public responses to the murders of George Floyd and Sarah Everard during the COVID-19 pandemic. Legitimacy is lost when the police either fail to protect the public or rely on coercion rather than consent to achieve that protection. Recovering Police Legitimacy challenges conventional criminological, political, and public solutions to the problem by approaching it from the bottom up, beginning with policing as a practice constituted by a unique set of excellences, skills, and characteristics.The author draws on his experience as a police officer and on the serial fictions of James Ellroy, David Peace, and Nic Pizzolatto to characterise the practice in terms of heroic struggle, edgework, absolute sacrifice, and worldmaking. These characteristics provide an analytic tool for revolutionising our understanding of the relations among policing as a situated practice, public protection, and police legitimacy and for identifying the different levels at which legitimacy is undermined. His conclusion is that recovery is possible but will be slow in pace and incomplete in scope.Written accessibly for students, police officers, policymakers, scholars, and anyone with an interest in police legitimacy, this is a groundbreaking study of a pressing social problem.

Reseñas:«Contundente, irritante, piadosa y violenta. Recursos inhumanos es la historia que todo escritor querría escribir sobre nuestro presente deshumanizado. Uno de estos libros con el "síndrome Harry Quebert": una vez empezado, no se puede parar.»Sergio Pent, L'Unità «Leo a Pierre Lemaitre, un excelente escritor de suspense.»Stephen King «Lemaitre disfruta de lo lindo rompiendo convenciones y jugando con ellas porque las conoce bien y maneja los géneros con la habilidad de un prestidigitador.»Javier Aparicio Maydeu, Babelia «Un ejemplo brillante de cómo el género noir puede sacar ventajas de la crisis. Una trama dolorosa, pero placentera y atrevida a la vez, que consigue vengar a todos los desempleados, reales y potenciales.»Le Magazine littéraire «Su maquinaria se revela infernal. ¡Bravo! Cada capítulo parece un esprint: anotamos los puntos, cerramos los puños.»Brigitte Hernandez, Le Point «Lemaitre, hoy por hoy, el mejor y más en forma novelista noir galo, un tipo capaz de pisarle los talones al maestro (Banville) Black, en destreza narrativa y musculoso magnetismo literario.»Laura Fernández, El Cultural «Lemaitre se despacha a conciencia con el capitalismo. Un trepidante y, por momentos, incómodo thriller laboral, tan literario como cualquier novela de Raymond Chandler o Benjamin Black.»Laura Fernández y Matías Néspolo, El Mundo «Ácido noir en el que el mordaz novelista francés dirige el cañón contra lo más miserable del entorno empresarial. Absténganse directores de personal. O no...»Victor Rodríguez, Expansión «Un gran libro. La obra maestra de una de las figuras de la novela negra actual. Una visión muy afilada del mundo de los desempleados y de cómo el paro puede afectar a la psicología de las personas y conducirlas a unos límites que no sospechaban de sí mismas cuando todo les iba bien.»Benjamín Prado, Radio 3 «Completamente diferente. [...] Auténtica buena literatura, de esa que cercena viejos mitos [...]. Una novela imprescindible para recordarnos cuáles son los principales problemas del mundo moderno.

Red 1-2-3
by John KatzenbachA psycho turns fairy-tale endings into nightmares in this “vivid cat-and-mice game” from the New York Times–bestselling author (William Bayer, Edgar Award–winning author). Karen is a lonely middle-aged doctor with a house in the woods. Sarah is a grief-stricken suburban widow who has turned to booze and barbiturates. Jordan is a directionless high school student and a child of divorce. They are three women with nothing in common but their red hair—until a stranger who calls himself the Big Bad Wolf sends each one the same chilling letter. Just like vulnerable Little Red Riding Hood, they are going to be stalked and killed—but in three distinct ways, in three different locations, all on the same fateful day. The one thing this devious madman didn’t count on was the Reds discovering each other. When authorities refuse to help, Karen, Sarah, and Jordan band together. It’s only then that they discover power in numbers, and how far they’re willing to go to beat the Wolf at his own game. From the New York Times–bestselling author, comes “a twisted riff” on a Grimm tale (Publishers Weekly). “Must reading for thriller fans.”—Booklist, starred review “Few writers of crime fiction seem to understand the criminal mind as well as Katzenbach.” —People

They say the ex-security officer accepted a considerable sum of money from enemy agents, and in return, helped to facilitate the escape of a dangerous spy. Now the supposed turncoat is believed to be in the Soviet Union, having freely defected to the Russian side, leaving his once-beloved homeland behind forever. The reality, however, is far more complicated. Alwyn Rory never left the island. Instead, he has gone to ground in the English countryside with fellow fugitive Adrian Gurney. Survival is the name of the game, but with the CIA, the KGB, and MI6 all dedicated to the covert termination of Rory and Gurney, two men without a country don't stand a chance.
