El intermediario
by John GrishamUn hombre con una valiosísima información clasificada se convierte en el blanco de los enemigos de Estados Unidos, mientras la CIA está dispuesta a sacrificar su vida en su lucha por la seguridad nacional. Joel Backman, uno de los abogados más poderosos de Washington, es encarcelado en una prisión federal por haber tenido acceso a información militar clasificada relacionada con unos misteriosos satélites de los que nadie conocía la existencia. Seis años más tarde recibe el indulto del Presidente. Lo que no imagina es que detrás de esta decisión se ocultan intereses de la CIA. Con el pretexto de que la información que posee podría ganarle enemigos, el gobierno pone a su disposición un avión militar que le llevará hasta Bolonia, donde Backman tendrá que empezar a vivir bajo una nueva identidad... Al menos en teoría. En realidad, la CIA tiene intención de informar de su paradero a los servicios de inteligencia de Israel, Rusia, China y Arabia Saudí, entre otros. A partir de este momento, ya no se trata de si Backman consigue sobrevivir -esto es imposible- sino de quién le matará... La crítica ha dicho...«Grisham es excepcionalmente bueno.»The Washington Post «Ahí donde va Grisham, le siguen millones de lectores.»New York Daily News
La intermitencia
by Andrea CamilleriUn thriller descarnado, de ritmo implacable, en el que sus protagonistas aparecen reducidos a los instintos más básicos que motivan sus actos: el deseo, el odio, la venganza, o sea, en definitiva, la pura y dura erótica del poder. La empresa Manuelli constituye un potente conglomerado que sostiene la economía de Italia y da trabajo a miles de personas. Y su director general, Mauro de Blasi, un ejecutivo que hace gala de toda la firmeza, la elegancia diplomática y la ferocidad que exige el cargo. Sin embargo, Mauro tiene un problema: últimamente padece una especie de «apagones neurológicos» en los que, durante unos segundos, no oye, se le nubla la vista y se queda paralizado, como si no estuviera presente. No obstante, a pesar de estos paréntesis forzosos, Mauro pergeña un plan para absorber Artenia, una compañía mucho más pequeña que está al borde de la quiebra, mediante una operación maquiavélica que debe procurarle una buena tajada. Pero no todo se desarrolla de la forma prevista... Una serie de personajes -desde un subdirector de personal amante de la poesía y una mujer con pocas luces hasta una joven hermosa e inteligente y una secretaria fiel pero demasiado confiada- se erigen en incómodos obstáculos e interfieren en los planes del corrupto Mauro de Blasi. El gran maestro Andrea Camilleri nos adentra en un entorno sacudido por la crisis económica, proclive a excesos e irregularidades de todo tipo so pretexto de que «todo vale» para sobrevivir en circunstancias tan difíciles. Reseña:«Sin caer en las trampas de la retórica ni en las insidias morales, Camilleri aborda en La intermitencia la situación de la Italia actual. Con una prosa reflexiva y milimetrada, y diálogos muy incisivos, esta novela es un alegato contra quienes enarbolan siempre la bandera de los triunfadores.»SoloLibri

The Interrogation
by Thomas H. CookEveryone has a breaking point . . . “Probably no other suspense writer takes readers as deeply into the heart of darkness as Cook.” —Chicago TribuneThere are no witnesses nor evidence to link him to the crime, but the police are sure that vagrant Albert Jay Smalls killed a child. Their interviews have led nowhere, but now—with a 6:00 a.m. deadline looming at which he must be released from custody—they will try one more interrogation. Detective Pierce, whose own daughter’s death has left a hole in his heart, and Detective Cohen, still broken from what he saw in World War II, will look into the abyss of Smalls’s troubled mind in a frantic last-ditch effort to extract a confession. Their effort will bring answers they never expected—and blur the line between innocence and guilt . . .“Cook adroitly weaves back and forth between the crime itself, the subsequent investigation and the halting questioning of the suspect. More compelling, however, is his portrayal of how the crime affects Pierce and Cohen, as well as several secondary characters . . . Down to the cleverly hatched, melancholy ending, Cook again takes readers down a dark, treacherous road into the heart of human fallibility and struggle.” —Publishers Weekly“[An] irresistible premise.” —Kirkus Reviews“Well-plotted . . . The psychic pain of these characters is piercing.” —The New York Times Book Review
