The Midwife of Venice
by Roberta RichNot since Anna Diamant's The Red Tent or Geraldine Brooks's People of the Book has a novel transported readers so intimately into the complex lives of women centuries ago or so richly into a story of intrigue that transcends the boundaries of history. A "lavishly detailed" (Elle Canada) debut that masterfully captures sixteenth-century Venice against a dramatic and poetic tale of suspense.Hannah Levi is renowned throughout Venice for her gift at coaxing reluctant babies from their mothers using her secret "birthing spoons." When a count implores her to attend his dying wife and save their unborn son, she is torn. A Papal edict forbids Jews from rendering medical treatment to Christians, but his payment is enough to ransom her husband Isaac, who has been captured at sea. Can she refuse her duty to a woman who is suffering? Hannah's choice entangles her in a treacherous family rivalry that endangers the child and threatens her voyage to Malta, where Isaac, believing her dead in the plague, is preparing to buy his passage to a new life. Told with exceptional skill, The Midwife of Venice brings to life a time and a place cloaked in fascination and mystery and introduces a captivating new talent in historical fiction.

The Midwife's Tale
by Sam Thomas[From inside front dust jacket flap:] "It is 1644, and Parliament's armies have risen against the king and laid siege to the city of York. Even as the city suffers at the rebels' hands, midwife Bridget Hodgson becomes embroiled in a different sort of rebellion. One of Bridget's friends, Esther Cooper, has been convicted of murdering her husband and sentenced to be burned alive. Convinced that her friend is innocent, Bridget sets out to find the real killer. Bridget joins forces with Martha Hawkins, a servant who's far more skilled with a knife than any respectable woman ought to be. To save Esther from the stake, they must dodge rebel artillery, confront a murderous figure from Martha's past, and capture a brutal killer who will stop at nothing to cover his tracks. The investigation takes Bridget and Martha from the homes of the city's most powerful families to the alleyways of its poorest neighborhoods. As they delve into the life of Esther's murdered husband, they discover that his ostentatious Puritanism hid a deeply sinister secret life, and that far too often tyranny and treason go hand in hand." In the tradition of Ariana Franklin's Mistress of the Art of Death and C. J. Sansom's Matthew Shardlake series comes Samuel Thomas's remarkable debut, ..."

The young superintendent Malin Fors is assigned to the case.

It is a manhunt that will take Malin into the darkest corners of the human heart where the sins of the past-- hidden away--all too often wreak havoc from one generation to the next.

by Michael GrantA pesar del hambre, de las mentiras y de la plaga... están decididos a sobrevivir. «Una historia emocionante y llena de tensión, narrada con un estilo trepidante que no te deja descansar... Adoro este libro». Stephen King Ha pasado un año desde que todos los adultos desaparecieron...

El miedo de Montalbano (Comisario Montalbano #Volumen 9)
by Andrea CamilleriSeis irresistibles narraciones nos devuelven el universo del comisario Montalbano en toda su riqueza y esplendor, para deleite de los lectores adictos a su particular manera de entender la vida. A plena luz del despiadado sol siciliano, con un humor no exento del realismo más implacable, surge un caudal de sentimientos irrefrenables: el odio que provoca una venganza cuyas consecuencias han de durar décadas en Mejor la oscuridad; o los resquemores que despierta en todo el cuerpo de policía de Vigàta el comportamiento aparentemente ingenuo, pero cargado de miradas salvajes, de la joven Grazia Giangrasso, en Herido de muerte. Y para arropar al comisario en su ardua tarea, no faltan los elementos de siempre: los desencuentros telefónicos con su novia Livia, las entrañables broncas con Mimì Augello, la perplejidad que siempre consigue producirle Catarella, el inefable telefonista de la comisaría. En esta ocasión, a los personajes conocidos se añaden otros nuevos, como el formal y distante comandante Verruso, antítesis de un Montalbano que descubrirá, con sorpresa y admiración, la dignidad y valentía con las que su nuevo aliado custodia un terrible secreto. Como es habitual en él, Montalbano aprovecha la resolución de los casos para exponer el contraluz de las cosas, de los acontecimientos y circunstancias que rodean los hechos, como si éstos fueran consecuencia de una condición colectiva, de otros dramas y otros padecimientos largamente sufridos, que escapan al control del individuo. Y todas esas dudas, miedos, tentaciones y contradicciones no hacen más que subrayar, si cabe, la profunda dimensión humana que ha hecho de este personaje el favorito de millones de lectores en todo el mundo. La crítica ha dicho...«Algunos de los cuentos más interesantes y divertidos del comisario Montalbano.»Messagero Veneto «Hay autores cuyos libros suscitan admiración, sorpresa, emoción; los de Andrea Camilleri suscitan todo eso [...].»ABC Cultural«Camilleri ha demostrado que se puede conciliar armoniosamente lo serio con lo humorístico, lo grave y lo ligero, con comprensión hacia las debilidades humanas.»Babelia
