X (A Kinsey Millhone Novel #24)
by Sue GraftonOf #1 New York Times-bestselling author Sue Grafton, NPR's Maureen Corrigan said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters." With only two letters left, Grafton's many devoted readers will share that sentiment.X: The number ten. An unknown quantity. A mistake. A cross. A kiss.X: The shortest entry in Webster's Unabridged. Derived from Greek and Latin and commonly found in science, medicine, and religion. The most graphically dramatic letter. Notoriously tricky to pronounce: think xylophone.X: The twenty-fourth letter in the English alphabet.Sue Grafton's X: Perhaps her darkest and most chilling novel, it features a remorseless serial killer who leaves no trace of his crimes. Once again breaking the rules and establishing new paths, Grafton wastes little time identifying this sociopath. The test is whether Kinsey can prove her case against him before she becomes his next victim.

Xoc de Reis (Cançó de gel i foc #Volumen 2)
by George R.R. MartinEn aquest segon llibre de «Cançó de gel i foc», George R.R. Martin continua la que sembla destinada a ser la millor sèrie de fantasia que s'ha escrit mai. El preu de la glòria. Mentre els pretendents al Tron de Ferro dels Set Regnes es preparen per fer valer els seus drets, el caos regna des de l'antiga ciutadella de Rocadrac fins a les costes imponents d'Hivèrnia. Una profecia de desastre esquinça el cel -un cometa del color de la sang i la flama- alhora que sis faccions combaten pel control d'una terra dividida. Amb un rerefons d'incest i fratricidi, alquímia i assassinat, el preu de la glòria es mesura amb sang. Ressenya:«Una narració èpica... amb un moment decisiu farcit d'acció, que ofereix un banquet als amants de la fantasia.»Publishers Weekly
