Special Agent John Taft of the National Intelligence Agency is dispatched to investigate the phenomenon, and uncovers a conspiracy of terror, led by a fanatical Serbian nationalist and powered by a machine capable of targeting any location on the globe-and causing apocalyptic earthquakes to strike on command.

Highsmith's finest novel to my mind is The Tremor of Forgery, and if I were asked what it is about I would reply, "apprehension"' Graham GreeneHoward Ingham finds it strange that no one has written to him since he arrived in Tunisia - neither the film director that he is supposed to be meeting in Tunis, nor his lover in New York who is, he hopes, missing him. While he waits around at a beach resort, unable to progress on the film script he is there to write, he starts work on a new novel, about a man living an amoral double life. Howard also befriends a fellow American who has a taste for Scotch and a suspicious interest in the Soviet Union, and a Dane who appears to distrust Arabs intensely.

Amid the tea shops and alleys of the souk, the sun-blasted architecture, and the beaches and hotels frequented by international tourists, will Ingham’s morality survive the withering heat?

Trenta vestiti rossi

Durante un tour per il suo libro in Camborgia, l'autore James Moore, in fuga da un'improvvisa inondazione, cerca rifugio in quello che scopre essere un bordello. James ed il suo traduttore assistono alle atrocità che prendono vita in quel luogo in cui le ragazze, inclusa una bambina con un "dono", sono costrette a prostituirsi.

Trent's Last Case

On Wall Street, the mere mention of the name Sigsbee Manderson is enough to send a stock soaring—or bring it tumbling back to earth. Feared but not loved, Manderson has no one to mourn him when the gardener at his British country estate finds him facedown in the dirt, a bullet buried in his brain. There are bruises on his wrist and blood on his clothes, but no clue that will lead the police to the murderer. It will take an amateur to—inadvertently—show them the way. Cheerful, charming, and always eager for a mystery, portrait artist and gentleman sleuth Philip Trent leaps into the Manderson affair with all the passion of the autodidact. Simply by reading the newspapers, he discovers overlooked details of the crime. Not all of his reasoning is sound, and his romantic interests are suspect, to say the least, but Trent’s dedication to the art of detection soon uncovers what no one expected him to find: the truth. Delightfully irreverent yet ingeniously plotted, Trent’s Last Case is widely regarded as a masterwork of the mystery genre. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Tres abuelas y un cocinero muerto (Trilogía de Helsinki #1)

Tienen 90 años. Pero no piensan morirse hasta descubrir al asesino. Siiri, Irma y Anna-Liisa son tres viudas de noventa años residentes en El Bosque del Crepúsculo, un centro privado de apartamentos para la tercera edad de Helsinki. Más que un nidito acogedor para las personas mayores, la residencia resulta un lugar siniestro en el que los ancianos se ven privados de su identidad, rodeados todos los días por enfermeros vagos e inexpertos, y obligados a hacer gimnasia, a asistir a conferencias y a tomar un gran cantidad de medicamentos prescritos por médicos a los que apenas han visto. Parece que para las tres amigas los días ya solo traerán partidas de cartas, viajes en tranvía y asistencia a funerales. Pero en la residencia se empiezan a producir unos misteriosos asesinatos... y quizá nadie había contado con la curiosidad y el tiempo libre de unas inocentes ancianitas. La crítica ha dicho...«De Finlandia llega la Agatha Christie del norte.»The Independent «¡Cómo lo he disfrutado! Las protagonistas son tan divertidas y simpáticas que no podía dejar de desear que una de ellas fuera mi abuela.»Lukutoukan kulttuuriblogi «Una historia descrita como una combinación de Miss Marple y El abuelo que saltó por la ventana y se largó y que intentará conquistar a los lectores españoles con cada una de sus tres entregas que se irán publicando en castellano.»Todo literatura.es «La inteligencia de la narración se gana al lector... Contiene una pertinente crítica al mundo en que vivimos y a sus retorcidos valores. Prueba que los ancianos nos son una masa uniforme sino un grupo de individuos que portan una cantidad única de experiencias y recuerdos.»Savon sanomat

Tres días y una vida

Conjugación perfecta entre el Lemaitre literario y el Lemaitre policíaco, Tres días y una vida combina una historia de suspense con una reflexión sobre la cara más sombría de la condición humana. En la historia de la literatura abundan los ejemplos de personajes cuyas vidas se ven irremediablemente afectadas por un breve instante de su pasado. En esta novela que sucede a Nos vemos allá arriba, Pierre Lemaitre retrata con mano maestra la trayectoria vital de un adolescente que, en un fugaz e impremeditado arranque de ira, se ve envuelto en un crimen y debe cargar con el horror y la culpa por el resto de sus días. El relato, dividido en tres momentos espaciados en el tiempo -1999, 2011 y 2015-, es una invitación a acompañar el fascinante proceso de formación de la psique de Antoine Courtin, durante el cual se vislumbra el lacerante destino de una persona que, paradójicamente, ha sido víctima de su propia culpabilidad. Todo comienza en Beauval, un pequeño pueblo enclavado en una región cubierta de bosques, donde la apacibilidad y belleza del lugar son el contrapunto perfecto a la sucesión de acontecimientos que conforman la trama. Al complejo microcosmos de sus habitantes, no exentos de hipocresía y cinismo, se añaden los ambiguos gestos, los comentarios maliciosos, la maldad y la insidia parapetadas detrás de las buenas intenciones, elementos todos ellos determinantes en la gestación y desenlace de la apasionante historia de Antoine. La crítica ha dicho...«Esta novela tiene todo lo necesario para despertar la curiosidad de los lectores y dejar sin aliento a los más apasionados.»Bernard Pivot «¿Es posible escapar al abismo? A partir de un tema conocido, el de la culpabilidad y las consecuencias de nuestros actos, Lemaitre ha escrito una novela intensa que provoca un profundo desasosiego.»Lire «Lo que interesa a Pierre Lemaitre no es el dramaen sí, sino sus consecuencias.»Unidivers.fr «Pierre Lemaitre lo confirma en esta nueva obra: actualmente es uno de los cuatro o cinco mejores novelistas franceses.»Atlantico.fr «Libro sobre las consecuencias de una mentira, sobre las apariencias que esconden verdades, Tres días y una vida es una novela psicológica muy bien escrita.»Wukali.com

Tres habitaciones y un cadáver (Serie Aurora Roe Teagarden #Volumen 3)

Un nuevo caso de la exitosa serie de Aurora Roe Teagarden. ¿Quién está asesinando a las vendedoras inmobiliarias de Lawrenceton, Georgia? Es una pregunta tan sencilla como estremecedora, y la exbibliotecaria Aurora Teagarden es la persona adecuada para responderla. Mientras disfruta de una herencia que le permite una vida desahogada, Roe busca algo nuevo con lo que mantenerse ocupada. Cree que la venta de inmuebles puede ser divertida. ¿Y quién mejor para enseñarle los trucos del oficio que su madre, viva imagen de Lauren Bacall y propietaria de una de las inmobiliarias más importantes de la ciudad? Roe acepta mostrar una cara vivienda a unos clientes de fuera de la ciudad. La casa tiene su encanto, pero estos no parecen muy entusiasmados con lo que se encuentran en el dormitorio principal: el cadáver de otra vendedora llamada Tonia Lee Greenhouse. Y Tonia solo es la primera víctima. Pronto es evidente que el asesino es alguien familiarizado con la comunidad de vendedores inmobiliarios de Lawrenceton, alguien con acceso a las casas en venta. Roe, a fin de cuentas, no está muy segura de que este negocio le guste. No tenía previsto toparse con un asesinato. Pero lo que sí le gusta es su apuesto cliente, Martin Bartell. De hecho, puede que sea amor a primera vista. Reseñas: «Aurora tiene tiempo para investigar hasta saciarse en esta animada y amena novela sureña de suspense.»Publishers Weekly «Una trama muy claramente enfocada, unos personajes muy bien animados y una prosa chispeante hacen muy recomendable este soplo de aire fresco.»Library Journal «Un ambiente de población sureña muy bien hecho, una tórrida relación amorosa tratada con sensibilidad y un estilo despreocupado y sin pretensiones.»Kirkus «Recomendada. Una historia entretenida y de ritmo ágil con una heroína brillante.»Deadly Pleasures «Si pensabas que el mundo inmobiliario era despiadado, espera a leer esto. Creo que te gustará Roe tanto como a mí y que querrás avisarla de que tenga cuidado. Hay asesinatos por ahí fuera.»Meritorious Mysteries «Una escritora de talento excepcional.»Publishers Weekly «Roe Teagarden es tan capaz y potencialmente tan compleja como Cordelia Gray, de P. D. James.»Publishers Weekly
