Jack Stone
by Steven Savile Salvador Escarré OliverLos problemas siempre suelen ir tras los hombres como Jack Stone. En esta ocasión llegan de la mano de un viejo amigo del colegio que le pide un favor por el que piensa pagarle 1.000 libras, sin hacer preguntas. El trabajo que le ofrece parece sencillo, conducir por la noche hacía el sur, recoger cierta mercancía y llevarla de vuelta al norte. Así de simple. Pero a Jack no le gusta hacer las cosas «sin hacer preguntas». Cuando algo suena demasiado bonito para ser verdad, por lo general nunca lo es. Así que Jack no acepta el trabajo. Para cualquier otro hombre ese hubiera sido el final de la historia, pero no para Jack. Un simple afeitado se convierte en un asiento de primera fila para presenciar una extorsión, y su innato sentido de la justicia no le permite hacer como que no ha visto nada en esta ocasión, ni siquiera cuando intervenir suponga actuar a favor de los delincuentes locales. Si quiere ayudarles, deberá encontrar a una antigua cantante de cabaret de los años 70. El problema es que ella no quiere que la encuentren, y por una muy buena razón. Sin embargo, Jack es muy bueno en lo que emprende y, tras muchas peripecias, da con ella. Entonces se da cuenta de lo jodido que es el asunto. Ha llevado al diablo a la puerta de esa mujer y deberá pagarlo con el infierno. Esta es la trama de Northern Soul, la última novela de Steven Savile. Pero en esta edición viene precedida por un relato corto, Northern Fire, que ya ha tenido 50.000 descargas, y otra novela, Northern Grit. El personaje principal de ambas es nuestro héroe --si es que podemos llamarlo así--, Jack Stone y es por ello que el autor desea presentarlo al público en español como una trilogía completa y con el nombre del personaje protagonista como título: Jack Stone.

Jack Taylor: A Mysterious Profile (Mysterious Profiles #16)
by Ken BruenA portrait of the PI from the Shamus Award winner who created him: “They don’t come much tougher than Ken Bruen’s Irish roughneck, Jack Taylor.” —The New York Times Book ReviewIn this short work, Edgar Award finalist Ken Bruen—“a Celtic Dashiell Hammett”—takes us deeper into his character Jack Taylor, formerly of Ireland’s police force, the Garda Síochána, now a living-on-the-edge private detective (The Philadelphia Inquirer).“Jack, as ja series know all too well, has a gift for blarney, for plain speaking, for poetic melancholy, for downing shots of Jameson’s [sic] without ice, and for pregnant one-word paragraphs.” —Kirkus Reviews“Bruen’s storytelling style, a stream-of-consciousness mix of prose and verse, strips away Galway’s tourist-board facade and offers a darkly comic social commentary.” —Booklist“The Godfather of the modern Irish crime novel.” —The Irish Times “[Taylor’s] voice is wry and bittersweet, but somehow always hopeful.” —The Seattle Times
Jack the Ripper's Secret Confession: The Hidden Testimony Of Britain's First Serial Killer
by Nigel Cawthorne David MonaghanWhile Jack the Ripper spread fear throughout the East End of London in 1888, another man stalked the streets hunting flesh. He called himself "Walter". He was a rapist, voyeur, and fetishist obsessed with prostitutes. Walter was not only a wealthy man, but a literary one. In the same year as the Ripper killings, Walter first printed up his vast memoir of sex and perversion under the title My Secret Life. Fewer than 20 sets were struck off on a secret Amsterdam press between 1888 and 1894. Long banned for obscenity, only censored excerpts of Walter's masterwork were seen for a century. One of the few complete sets not destroyed by the authorities was locked away in the British Library's closed cupboard. This is the story of the volumes in that locked room and the horrific clue they contain - a clue that unlocks the diary as the final confession of Jack the Ripper. Jack the Ripper's Secret Confession shows how this notorious work of Victorian pornography reveals that its author had the means, the motive and the opportunity to be Jack the Ripper. As importantly, it delves into dark psychiatric motives within the text, to show Walter possessed the unique psycho-sexual fingerprint of a knife killer.

by Ken FollettD-Day is approaching. They don't know where or when, but the Germans know it'll be soon, and for Felicity "Flick" Clariet, the stakes have never been higher. A senior agent in the ranks of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) responsible for sabotage, Flick has survived to become one of Britain's most effective operatives in Northern France. She knows that the Germans' ability to thwart the Allied attack depends upon their lines of communications, and in the days before the invasion no target is of greater strategic importance than the largest telephone exchange in Europe.But when Flick and her Resistance-leader husband try a direct, head-on assault that goes horribly wrong, her world turns upside down. Her group destroyed, her husband missing, her superiors unsure of her, her own confidence badly shaken, she has one last chance at the target, but the challenge, once daunting, is now near impossible. The new plan requires an all-woman team, none of them professionals, to be assembled and trained within days. Code-named the Jackdaws, they will attempt to infiltrate the exchange under the noses of the Germans--but the Germans are waiting for them now and have plans of their own. There are secrets Flick does not know--secrets within the German ranks, secrets among her hastily recruited team, secrets among those she trusts the most. And as the hours tick down to the point of no return, most daunting of all, there are secrets within herself. . . . Filled with the powerful storytelling, unforgettable characters, and authentic detail that have become his hallmarks, Jackdaws is Ken Follett writing at the height of his powers.From the Hardcover edition.

Ocasionalmente, el apostador enviaba a Vincent y otro chico a visitar a los estafadores para “discutir opciones de pago” con ellos. Vincent se lanzó a sí mismo en su trabajo bastante vigorosamente, lo que resultó en un récord de “colección” cerca del cien por ciento.

He's where the perfect terror plan is about to blow apart. Because Jacknife won't go down without a fight. And with this guy as leader, the terrorists will find their way to paradise a lot sooner than they think. . .
