by Amanda FlowerUSA Today bestselling author and Agatha Award winner Amanda Flower turns the charm up to ten in her fourth Magical Bookshop mystery.With the help of Walt Whitman's works, magical bookshop owner Violet Waverly puts her pedal to the metal to sleuth a bicycle-race murder that tests her mettle. A bicycle race is not Charming Books proprietor Violet Waverly's idea of a pleasant pastime. But police chief David Rainwater wheelie wants them to enter the Tour de Cascade as a couple, so she reluctantly consents. The Tour de Cascade is the brainchild of Violet's Grandma Daisy.

As if the bike race weren't tiring enough, pesky private investigator Joel Redding is snooping around Charming Books. It takes all of Violet's and Grandma Daisy's ingenuity to keep Redding from discovering the shop's magical essence--which communicates with Violet through books.

As Emerson the tuxedo cat and resident crow Faulkner look on, Charming Books steers Violet to the works of Walt Whitman to solve the crime. But no other names ring a bell as culprits, and as David's investigation picks up speed, Violet will have to get in gear to clear her name.

Tras los últimos cambios en la oficina del FBI en Nueva York, Pendergast se ve obligado a aceptar una condición inconcebible para conservar su empleo: el ferozmente independiente agente especial deberá ahora trabajar con un compañero.Pendergast y su nuevo colega, el agente Coldmoon, son destinados a Miami Beach, donde una serie de homicidios cometidos por un sanguinario psicópata presenta un desconcertante modus operandi: el asesino les arranca el corazón a sus víctimas y lo abandona -junto con unas misteriosas cartas manuscritas- sobre distintas lápidas de cementerios locales. Las tumbas están conectadas solo por una extraña circunstancia: todas pertenecen a mujeres que se suicidaron.Sin embargo, la aparente falta de relación entre los antiguos suicidios y los nuevos asesinatos pronto es la menor de las preocupaciones de Pendergast. Porque, a medida que profundiza, el agente descubre que los crímenes pueden ser la punta del iceberg... y que se encuentra frente a una conspiración letal cuyos orígenes se remontan a décadas atrás. «Pendergast es un héroe peculiar, un Sherlock Holmes moderno.»Kirkus «Legendario.»Associated Press La crítica ha dicho...«Preston y Child son maestros escribiendo historias que van más allá de un simple misterio o un thriller...

Y sus dotes investigadoras nunca han sido más lúcidas que en la absolutamente brillante Versos para un muerto. Un regreso a la novela policíaca clásica que a la vez mantiene un lado afilado y posmoderno.»Providence Journal «Una de las mejores series de thriller de todos los tiempos.»Examiner.com «Las novelas de Pendergast combinan una prosa elegante con unas historias fascinantes y el agente del FBI sigue siendo uno de los personajes más interesantes del género thriller.»Booklist

Vertigo 42: A Richard Jury Mystery (A Richard Jury Mystery)
by Martha GrimesIn her latest Richard Jury mystery, Martha Grimes delivers the newest addition to the bestselling series The Washington Post calls "literate, lyrical, funny, funky, discursive, bizarre." The inimitable Scotland Yard Superintendent returns, now with a tip of the derby to Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.Richard Jury is meeting Tom Williamson at Vertigo 42, a bar on the forty-second floor of an office building in London's financial district. Despite inconclusive evidence, Tom is convinced his wife, Tess, was murdered seventeen years ago. The inspector in charge of the case was sure Tess's death was accidental--a direct result of vertigo--but the official police inquiry is still an open verdict and Jury agrees to re-examine the case. Jury learns that a nine-year-old girl fell to her death five years before Tess at the same country house in Devon where Tess died. The girl had been a guest at a party Tess was giving for six children. Jury seeks out the five surviving party guests, who are now adults, hoping they can shed light on this bizarre coincidence. Meanwhile, an elegantly dressed woman falls to her death from the tower of a cottage near the pub where Jury and his cronies are dining one night. Then the dead woman's estranged husband is killed as well. Four deaths--two in the past, two that occur on the pages of this intricate, compelling novel--keep Richard Jury and his sidekick Sergeant Wiggins running from their homes in Islington to the countryside in Devon and to London as they try to figure out if the deaths were accidental or not. And, if they are connected. Witty, well-written, with literary references from Thomas Hardy to Yeats, Vertigo 42 is a pitch perfect, page-turning novel from a mystery writer at the top of her game.
