Kirby Galway may be a low-level marijuana smuggler in Belize, but the man has a dream—to make lots and lots of money. So when a local official offers him a back-jungle tract of land he swears would make a perfect cattle ranch, Kirby jumps at the opportunity. Unfortunately, he lands himself in a swamp—that he now owns. Kirby begins selling homemade “artifacts” from his property to American museums and witless tourists, even building a fake ancient temple and recruiting a tribe of Mayan Indians who know a good scam when they see one. But his cash-cow paradise soon attracts the attention of two snooping New York reporters, a beautiful archaeologist from UCLA, and a troop of Guatemalan guerillas just itching to shoot somebody. Kirby is going to have to talk fast, move faster, and pull out every dirty trick he knows if he’s going to get out of this alive . . . “I thoroughly enjoyed High Adventure.” —Elmore Leonard “Westlake at his best: intriguing, fast moving . . . Ends with a slam-bang climax.” —Los Angeles Times Praise for Donald E. Westlake “Westlake has no peer in the realm of comic mystery novelists.” —San Francisco Chronicle
Hieronymus Bosch: A Mysterious Profile (Mysterious Profiles)
by Michael ConnellyThe #1 New York Times–bestselling author brings you into the world of the LAPD’s Harry Bosch, and the history that shaped him.In this short work, Michael Connelly delves into the origins of his famed police detective,—how he faced down the horrors of his childhood (a background story that was based on the life of another renowned crime writer); his past as a tunnel rat in Vietnam; and why jazz is his soundtrack. Connelly also shares the story of how his character Hieronymus Bosch came to be named after a fifteenth-century Flemish painter, and how his own youthful experiences of fear led to his literary creation. Those who have followed the cases of this tough cop more interested in justice than ambition will find much to enjoy and to ponder in this behind-the-scenes account.“Connelly truly is one of the finest mystery writers.” —South Florida Sun Sentinel“No writer exploits Los Angeles—its geography, its historical power wars, its celebrity culture, its lore—as compellingly as Connelly.” ?Chicago Tribune

Necesitan dar con ellos para despertarlos y liberarlos. ¿Cómo? Con unos martillos de hielo, cuyas cabezas heladas son los restos del extraño meteorito caído en Tugunska en 1908. Solo una pequeña minoría consigue renacer después de que sus corazones extraídos del pecho pronuncien las palabras del «hielo».

Dick y Michel Houellebecq, y, por ahora, la más ambiciosa novela de Vladimir Sorokin, estilista virtuoso y maestro de la provocación.»The New York Review of Books «El hielo provee un placer intelectual y una engañosa velocidad similares a los que hallamos en las novelas de Haruki Murakami... Un thriller en el sentido más auténtico: su lectura proporciona la emoción de descubrir algo nuevo.»Los Angeles Times «Sorokin nos sacude como una tempestad.»The Guardian «Entre la fábula política y la ciencia ficción, un relato inclasificable, que hiela el espinazo, de Vladimir Sorokin, autor insoslayable.»L'Humanité «Un emocionante thriller posmoderno... El hielo triunfa brillantemente como thriller y como fábula aleccionadora acerca del totalitarismo, la intolerancia, el elitismo y el fundamentalismo.»Library Journal «El talento de Sorokin es único. Tiene un olfato fenomenal para detectar las llagas de la civilización en pleno proceso de putrefacción.»Ludmila Ulitskaya «El único autor ruso vivo al que se le puede considerar un clásico.»The Moscow Times «Una joya de ingenio y estilo.»The Boston Globe «Una dureza absoluta, una espeluznante aptitud para la transgresión.»Le Monde des Livres
