Katrine y Joakim Westin han abandonado la ciudad y se han mudado con sus hijos a la isla, donde han comprado la vieja y señorial casa de Eel Point, junto al faro.

La crítica ha dicho... «Evocador e inolvidable, Theorin es dueño de un sutil sentido de la amenaza que va creciendo en cada página.» Simon Beckett «El último fenómeno en Suecia... un best seller con tan solo dos títulos publicados.» The Times «El eco de los muertos confirma a Johan Theorin como uno de los mejores escritores suecos. Con su primera novela ya recibió el aplauso de la crítica, varios premios y se convirtió en un best seller. Con su nueva novela, un estudio de dolor, la pérdida y la vulnerabilidad, se convierte en el autor más sólido del género.» The Guardian «Uno de los acontecimientos editoriales del año en lo que a novela nórdica se refiere.» Publishers Weekly «Magistralmente escrita. Una joya de novela de género. Con Theorin uno tiene el impulso de recomendarlo a nuestros mejores amigos y familiares.» Good Book Guide

Tormenta sobre Alejandría
by Luis Manuel RuizTormenta sobre Alejandría nos revela la decadencia de una civilización que se transformó en el foco del mundo, en un relato que combina, con audacia y una prosa subyugante, la intriga, la filosofía y la historia. Siglo V. La célebre Biblioteca de Alejandría en ruinas. Una cadena de misteriosos crímenes y un solo hombre que deberá resolverlos, mientras el mundo a su alrededor está a punto de llegar a su fin. Hubo un tiempo en que una ciudad fundada por un emperador adolescente abarcó el mundo entero. Hubo un tiempo en que en el centro de esa ciudad se elevó un edificio único, donde cabía toda la sabiduría humana. Hubo un tiempo en que una mujer de cabello incandescente gobernó aquella Biblioteca y quiso adelantar a todos los hombres en la adquisición de la amargura que es el precio del conocimiento. Hubo un tiempo en que un dios nuevo, manchado de sangre, obligaba a las mujeres a callar. Hasta que ese tiempo remoto tocó a su fin. Reseñas:«Es un escritor magnífico. No estamos hablando de una novela o un autor de moda, sino que Luis Manuel Ruiz tiene calidad y memoria literarias. Su obra es densa y tiene trama, presentación, nudo y desenlace.»Arturo Pérez-Reverte

But the Quantico-trained forensic investigator is finding her skills aren't enough when a ferociously intelligent killer strikes Dublin. The modus operandi is as perplexing as it is macabre.

Reilly soon suspects that she may be dealing with a killer - or killers - who know all about crime scene investigation. The police are just as frustrated by the crimes' impenetrable nature and it's only when a third murder occurs - equally graphic and elaborate in its execution - that they discover that this particular killer is using a very specific blueprint for his crimes. Who is the killer's next victim, the real target? And what's his endgame?
