31 noches
by Ignacio EscolarUna historia de matones de discoteca, narcos y un periodista que no debía estar allí. «En la casa del colombiano encontraron dos pistolas, una escopeta recortada, un hacha de carnicero, una sierra, algo de cocaína, tres teléfonos móviles casi prehistóricos y 19.000 euros en siete fajos de billetes arrugados, escondidos tras un cajetín de la luz. Pero lo que más inquietó a Velasco, lo único que le alteró el pulso, fue una habitación sin ventanas, con todas las paredes, el techo y el suelo forrados de plástico, como el que se usa para proteger los muebles cuando se va a pintar. No había ninguna brocha en la casa. La habitación estaba limpia y completamente vacía, salvo por un cubo. El cubo estaba lleno de ácido sulfúrico». 31 noches es un mes de agosto que empieza y acaba en ese cubo, que está esperando un cadáver para disolver. Es una historia corrosiva, sumergida en las tripas de una discoteca, la sala Premium, donde un periodista se ve arrastrado en una trama de narcos, matones de discoteca y deudas pendientes en la noche de Madrid. «Soy de los que dicen que no soportan la violencia, de los que se creen incapaces de hacer daño a una mosca. Aquel verano descubrí que no es verdad». El joven periodista Ignacio Escolar debuta con esta turbadora novela en el mundo de la narrativa con el acierto, pulso y claridad de ideas a los que nos tiene acostumbrados en sus trabajos como columnista y analista político. Impecable en su ritmo y desarrollo, demoledora en su retrato de la realidad que nos rodea, el género negro cuenta con una nueva obra de referencia. Reseñas:«Los finales de los capítulos, siempre dejando al lector con la miel en los labios, la convierten en una lectura trepidante. Los personajes están bien urdidos, los diálogos son chispeantes, el suspense va en aumento, toda la narración destila una fina ironía plagada de referencias a los medios de masas,y el protagonista -y narrador- es un periodista, alter ego del autor, lo cual beneficia a la verosimilitud de la historia.».Care Santos, El Cultural de El Mundo «Un debut de raza, una historia ya estructurada en firme -ocupa tajantemente un mes de agosto- que se mueve con soltura y logra atraer al lector poco a poco, sin descanso».Efe Eme «No hay compasión en la escritura de Escolar, no hay redención posible para sus personajes, la acción y la omisión condenan a cada uno de ellos: el asesino, el contrabandista, el policía corrupto y el periodista que no denuncia [...]. No hay salida en la novela; a través de su relato, Ignacio Escolar escenifica la decadencia de un tiempo presente en el que los valores se pierden,se disuelven y el cinismo se impone».Anna María Iglesia, Revista Culturamas
31 Hours
by Masha HamiltonA woman in New York awakens knowing, as deeply as a mother's blood can know, that her grown son is in danger. She has not heard from him in weeks. His name is Jonas. His girlfriend, Vic, doesn't know what she has done wrong, but Jonas won't answer his cell phone. We soon learn that Jonas is isolated in a safe-house apartment in New York City, pondering his conversion to Islam and his experiences training in Pakistan, preparing for the violent action he has been instructed to take in 31 hours. Jonas's absence from the lives of those who love him causes a cascade of events, and as the novel moves through the streets and subways of New York we come to know intimately the lives of its characters. We also learn to feel deeply the connections and disconnections that occur between young people and their parents not only in this country but in the Middle East as well.Carried by Hamilton's highly-lauded prose, this story about the helplessness of those who cannot contact a beloved young man who is on a devastatingly confused path is compelling on the most human level. In our world, when a family loses track of an idealistic son an entire city could be in danger. From the author of The Distance Between Us.
31 Bond Street: A Novel
by Ellen HoranWho killed Dr. Harvey Burdell? Though there are no witnesses and no clues, fingers point to Emma Cunningham, the refined, pale-skinned widow who managed Burdell’s house and his servants. Rumored to be a black-hearted gold digger with designs on the doctor’s name andfortune, Emma is immediately put under house arrest during a murder investigation. A swift conviction is sure to catapult flamboyant district attorney Abraham Oakey Hall into the mayor’s seat. But one formidable obstacle stands in his way: the defense attorney Henry Clinton. Committed to justice and the law, Clinton will aid the vulnerable widow in her desperate fight to save herself from the gallows.Set in 1857 New York, this gripping mystery is also a richly detailed excavation of a lost age. Horan vividly re-creates a tumultuous era characterized by a sensationalist press, aggressive new wealth, a booming real-estate market, corruption, racial conflict, economic inequality between men and women, and the erosion of the old codes of behavior. A tale of murder, sex, greed, and politics, this spellbinding narrative transports readers to a time that eerily echoes our own.
300 Days of Sun: A Novel
by Deborah LawrensonTwo women, decades apart, are drawn into a game of truth and lies in a sunny Portuguese coastal town with a shadowy past in this mesmerizing novel.Traveling to Faro, Portugal, journalist Joanna Millard hopes to escape an unsatisfying relationship and a stalled career. Faro is an enchanting town, and the seaside views are enhanced by the company of Nathan Emberlin, a charismatic younger man. But behind the crumbling facades of Moorish buildings, Joanna soon realizes, Faro has a seedy underbelly, its economy compromised by corruption and wartime spoils. And Nathan has an ulterior motive for seeking her company: he is determined to discover the truth involving a child’s kidnapping that may have taken place on this dramatic coastline over two decades ago.Joanna’s subsequent search leads her to Ian Rylands, an English expat who cryptically insists she will find answers in The Alliance, a novel written by American Esta Hartford. The book recounts an American couple’s experience in Portugal during World War II, and their entanglements both personal and professional with their German enemies. Only Rylands insists the book isn’t fiction, and as Joanna reads deeper into The Alliance, she begins to suspect that Esta Hartford’s story and Nathan Emberlin’s may indeed converge in Faro—where the past not only casts a long shadow but still exerts a very present danger.Praise for 300 Days of Sun“With its lush settings, high-stakes suspense, and novel-within-a-novel, 300 Days of Sun is a feast for fiction lovers. Lawrenson delivers a labyrinth of complex relationships the reader is both breathless to solve and eager to return to upon completion. Haunting.” —Erica Robuck, author of Hemingway’s Girl and The House of Hawthorne
300,000,000: A Novel
by Blake ButlerAn unforgettable novel of an American suburb devastated by a fiendish madman—the most ambitious and important work yet by “the 21st century answer to William Burroughs” (Publishers Weekly).Blake Butler’s fiction has dazzled readers with its dystopian dreamscapes and swaggering command of language. Now, in his most topical and visceral novel yet, he ushers us into the consciousness of two men in the shadow of a bloodbath: Gretch Gravey, a cryptic psychopath with a small army of burnout followers, and E. N. Flood, the troubled police detective tasked with unpacking and understanding his mind.A mingled simulacrum of Charles Manson, David Koresh, and Thomas Harris’s Buffalo Bill, Gravey is a sinister yet alluring God figure who enlists young metal head followers to kidnap neighboring women and bring them to his house—where he murders them and buries their bodies in a basement crypt. Through parallel narratives, Three Hundred Million lures readers into the cloven mind of Gravey—and Darrel, his sinister alter ego—even as Flood’s secret journal chronicles his own descent into his own, eerily similar psychosis.A portrait of American violence that conjures the shadows of Ariel Castro, David Koresh, and Adam Lanza, Three Hundred Million is a brutal and mesmerizing masterwork, a portrait of contemporary America that is difficult to turn away from, or to forget.

3 Quarters: A Novel
by Denis HamillBeginning his search for the truth at a shady security firm that employs able-bodied ex-cops, all of whom have mysteriously qualified for medical pensions—equal to a cool three-quarters of their salaries—he stumbles upon a startling discovery: the cremated remains that led to his conviction didn't really belong to Dorothea. <P><P> Bobby has a few allies: his policeman brother, his hacker daughter, his flamboyantly unprincipled lawyer, a cop or two who stood by him through the trial. But the same forces that landed him in jail more than a year before are putting a smothering squeeze on him now—and all roads lead to a powerful politician who will let nothing get between himself and the governor's mansion. As the struggle to find the truth—and Dorothea—intensifies, Bobby begins to suspect that those around him are not as loyal as they appear. His liberty and very life depend on whether or not he can discover how high—and how near—the conspiracy goes before the trap closes on him. At once lyrical and riveting, Three Quarters crackles in its electric setting, reverberating with a "relentless energy" (Lawrence Block) fueled by Hamill's intimate knowledge of and intense passion for New York City.

$3 Million Turnover
by Richard CurtisOfficially, I'm an agent. I represent professional athletes in basketball, football, tennis, golf--you name it. If money is paid for any athletic performance short of copulation, I take a commission on it. I say "officially." Unofficially, I have backed into another job: troubleshooting for the management of professional sports leagues--a kind of undercover operator. And it was this Richie Sadler case that got me into it. Aside from a hairline fracture of my cheekbone, temporary blindness, a scrotumful of somebody's knee, and the loss of the most promising marital prospect since my divorce, I did not get anything out of this case but the right to keep a staggering commission that really belonged to me. But now, when people in the sports world need someone to help unglue the fixes and wrestle with the drug problems, the gangsterism, and the sex scandals, they call on Dave Bolt.
