La mitad de la verdad (Un caso del fiscal Szacki #Volumen 2)
by Zygmunt MiloszewskiEl nuevo caso del fiscal Szacki, «un personaje excepcional» (Babelia), por «el último de los grandes representantes de lujo de la novela negra» (ABC Cultural), ganador del Premio Nagroda Wielkiego Kalibru de novela negra. Pronto dará comienzo la primavera en Sandomierz, la pequeña y pintoresca ciudad de provincias donde el fiscal Teodor Szacki ha decidido trasladarse para dar un vuelco a su fulgurante carrera en Varsovia, después de poner punto final a su matrimonio. Sus días de aparente placidez se verán interrumpidos por un nuevo caso de asesinato: el cuerpo de una mujer desangrada de acuerdo con los ritos de sacrificio judíos ha sido hallado delante de la sinagoga. Cuando el marido de la víctima corre la misma suerte, los vecinos reviven temores de hace décadas. Frente a un aumento sin precedentes de antisemitismo, Szacki tendrá que ahondar en un pasado con ecos dolorosos para encontrar la verdad de una historia que despierta demasiadas pasiones. La crítica ha dicho...«La intriga se resuelve con brillantez. Hay momentos emocionantes y de gran tensión narrativa y una galería de personajes que atrapan al lector de la forma más delicada: entre la emotividad y una paciente construcción literaria digna de un gran escritor. Añádase un sentido del humor cáustico, un tono narrativo arisco y antipático, paralelo al humor negro del fiscal Szacki, y una exuberante prosa que envuelve al lector con firmeza y podrá decirse que el libro es uno de los más relevantes títulos de esta temporada.»Lluís Fernández, La Razón «Su pluma es ágil, llena de vida, cruel a veces, siempre divertida. Destaca su uso del humor negro y juega maravillosamente con los códigos y recursos de las novelas policiacas.»Michel Abescat, Télerama «Como su maestro Larsson, apoya su ficción en un personaje excepcional.»Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, El País «La mitad de la verdad es una excelente novela policíaca, con un protagonista muy logrado y un estilo ágil que no duda en recurrir al humor negro en algunos momentos.»Luis Martínez González, árealibros «Una novela negra apasionante, inteligente, fantásticamente construida, una de las mejores que he leído este año. Espero con ansia la tercera entrega de Miloszewski.»Jacques Teissier, Médiapart «Recomiendo a Miloszewski con una trilogía de gran éxito en su país de origen; tiene ecos de Agatha Christie, Henning Mankell y Stieg Larsson.»Luís Matías López, Público «Un thriller formidable y un inteligente análisis de la sociedad polaca y sus valores.»Crime Chronicles» «Miloszewski ofrece novelas negras impecablemente resueltas que contienen evocaciones históricas, magmas macabros y también cierta poética.»Libération «Nuestro polaco favorito firma otra gran novela.»Julie Malaure, Le Point «Un suspense perfecto... ¡Irresistible!»Avantatges «Una novela indispensable de un autor que está entre los grandes.»Bob Polar Express «¡Qué placer reencontrarse con el fiscal Szacki!»Polars
La mitad oscura (Biblioteca De Bolsil Ser. #Vol. 13)
by Stephen KingStephen King sorprende y aterroriza una vez más al lector con su magistral don para destapar y exhibir la mitad más oscura del ser humano. Cuando Thad Beaumont en pleno bloqueo creativo, después de que su novela Las súbitas bailarinas optara al Premio Nacional de Literatura y lo perdiera, decidió seguir los consejos de su mujer y publicar una serie de thrillers retorcidos y sangrientos bajo el pseudónimo de George Stark, no pensó, ni por asomo, que le sería tan difícil «deshacerse» de ese otro yo que, no se explicaba cómo, había dejado de ser ficticio. Cuando el comisario Alan Pangborn aparece en su casa acusándole de un brutal asesinato, Thad trata de afirmar su inocencia, de asegurar que nada tiene que ver con todos esos monstruosos asesinatos cometidos tan cerca de su casa, ni con la retorcida mente que protagoniza sus novelas policíacas, ni con las llamadas de aquella voz que, obscena y susurrante, le pide al teléfono que se rinda. Pero, ¿cómo explicar que sus huellas ensangrentadas han aparecido por todas partes en la escena del crimen? La crítica ha dicho...«Escalofriante.»The New York Times Books Review
The Mitch Rapp Files: includes Kill Shot and The Third Option
by Vince FlynnKill Shot For months, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way - bullet by bullet - through a list of the men responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians, including his own girlfriend, in the Pan Am Lockerbie bombing. His next target - a Libyan diplomat - should be easy. Prone to drink and currently in Paris without a bodyguard, Rapp quickly tracks the man down and sends a bullet into his skull while he's sleeping. But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the silenced pistol, everything changes. The door to the hotel room is kicked open and gunfire erupts all around Rapp. When the news breaks that Libya's Oil Minister has been killed along with three innocent civilians and four unidentified men, the French authorities are certain that a wounded gunman is still on the loose in Paris. As the finger-pointing begins, Rapp's handlers have only one choice - deny any responsibility for the incident and race to do damage control. Rapp has become a liability, and he must not be taken alive by the French authorities. But alone in Paris, on the run from the authorities and from his own employers, Mitch Rapp must prepare to fight for his life.Third Option Mitch Rapp is sent on his final mission But he doesn't know that the ultimate target of this mission is himself.Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, is sent on his final mission, to eliminate a European industrialist who has been selling sensitive equipment to one of terrorism's most notorious sponsors. But he doesn't know that the ultimate target of this mission is himself. Set up by forces within the US who do not want the next Director-elect of the CIA to take over, and therefore need a disaster for the present regime, Mitch refuses to die ... the conspirators have made an awful miscalculation. They have enraged one of the most lethal and efficient killers the CIA has ever produced. Now they will pay.
