Dentro de casa

There are three rules Brooke Sullivan must follow as a new nurse practitioner at a men’s maximum-security prison: 1) Treat all prisoners with respect. 2) Never reveal any personal information. 3) Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates. But none of the staff at the prison knows Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary’s most notorious and dangerous inmates. And they certainly don’t know that Shane was Brooke’s high school sweetheart—the star quarterback who is now spending the rest of his life in prison for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there. But Shane knows. And he will never forget.

The Inmate

2020 THRILLER/SUSPENSE AUDIE AWARD WINNER! Now an MGM+ Original Series! From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, the most riveting and unforgettable story of kids confronting evil since It. “This is King at his best” (The St. Louis Post-Dispatch). In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis’s parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents—telekinesis and telepathy—who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, “like the roach motel,” Kalisha says. “You check in, but you don’t check out.” In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you don’t, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute. As psychically terrifying as Firestarter, and with the spectacular kid power of It, The Institute “is another winner: creepy and touching and horrifyingly believable, all at once” (The Boston Globe).

The Institute

CREÍAS QUE YA NO SE PODÍA IR MÁS LEJOS EN EL THRILLER. TE EQUIVOCABAS. CARME CHAPARRO HA VUELTO A ROMPER LOS LÍMITES. El primer ser humano revienta contra el asfalto a las diez y cuarenta y dos minutos de la noche del domingo dos de junio. Un hombre que camina al otro lado de la plaza levanta instintivamente la vista. Le da tiempo a ver a varias personas —no sabría decir cuántas, le cuenta luego a la policía— en los alféizares de las ventanas de un rascacielos. Y de repente, antes incluso de que pueda asombrarse por lo que está pasando, todas ellas saltan a la vez. Saltan a la vez y estallan contra el suelo casi al mismo tiempo. Y, de nuevo, ese ruido indescriptible. Aunque mucho más intenso. Esa cálida noche de verano en Madrid diez personas se arrojan al vacío desde diez habitaciones de la planta séptima del hotel que preside la Plaza de España. Ninguna de ellas se había registrado en recepción. No llevan nada que les identifique. Hay una joven que apenas habrá cumplido los treinta años, pero también alguien de más de ochenta. Un cadáver lleva encima ropa por valor de más de seis mil euros. Otro viste con prendas que le había entregado una ONG. Sus mundos nunca se han cruzado. No se conocen. No hay huésped o empleado que recuerde haberlas visto en el hotel, ni objeto personal en las habitaciones desde las que han saltado; aunque sobre la mesilla de noche de la número setecientos dieciséis los investigadores encuentran un par de velas encendidas que parecen rezar a una pequeña virgen a la que iluminan con suavidad. Esa es sólo la primera de las sorpresas. Carme Chaparro, autora de la exitosa trilogía de Ana Arén, regresa con su más endiablada y sorprendente novela. Tras una primera página de impacto, el lector se verá inmerso en una historia que no le dará respiro y que le mantendrá en vilo mientras acompaña por el infernal y desasosegante verano madrileño a sus protagonistas, entre los que destaca Santiago Munárriz, el especialista más carismático, para lo bueno y también para lo peor, del Instituto Anatómico Forense. Lo que han dicho los lectores: «Carme Chaparro ha escrito un thriller increíble. Una trama fantástica, retorcida, que desde el inicio, impactante hasta el final te atrapa y te mete en la vida de los protagonistas de una manera magistral. Una historia estremecedora, con toques de humor negro y una narrativa fluida. La riqueza de los diálogos, la complejidad de los personajes y la trama convierten a Carme Chaparro en una escritora que nunca decepciona». «Brutal: me encanta como desnuda el alma de cada personaje. Además nos acerca una faceta muy humana de sus personajes policiales. El ritmo del libro es maravilloso una vez más. Engancha y exige a la vez una lectura muy entregada. Recomendadisimo. Gracias una vez más a la escritora por su talento». « Remueve conciencias y sigue sorprendiendo. Grande».

Local Woman Missing

Entre los años 1968 y 1969, el asesino al que la prensa bautizaría como John Biblia mató a tres mujeres en Glasgow. Nunca fue identificado y el caso todavía sigue abierto hoy en día. En este audiolibro, a principios de los años ochenta, el investigador de policía escocés Noah Scott Sherrington logra llegar hasta John Biblia, pero un fallo en su corazón en el último momento le impide arrestarlo. A pesar de su frágil estado de salud, y contra los consejos médicos y la negativa de sus superiores para que continúe con la persecución del asesino en serie, Noah sigue una corazonada que lo llevará hasta el Bilbao de 1983. Justo unos días antes de que un verdadero diluvio arrase la ciudad. Dolores Redondo se autodefine como «una escritora de tormentas» y con este nuevo audiolibro, basado en hechos reales, nos conduce hasta el epicentro de una de las mayores tormentas del siglo pasado a la vez que retrata una época en plena ebullición política y social. Es un homenaje a la cultura del trabajo lleno de nostalgia por un tiempo en el que la radio era una de las pocas ventanas abiertas al mundo y, sobre todo, a la música. Y es también un canto a la camaradería de las cuadrillas y a las historias de amor que nacen de un pálpito. Una obra deslumbrante con unos personajes que nos llevan de la crueldad más espantosa a la esperanza en el ser humano. «Dolores Redondo, la reina del thriller literario.» Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Moving Targets

Torna John Verdon, l'autor del best-seller mundial de Sé el que estàs pensant, amb un nou cas en què l'exdetectiu Dave Gurney arriscarà fins i tot la pròpia vida per posar fi a les macabres ambicions d'un perillós assassí com cap al qual s'hagi enfrontat mai. L'Angus Russell, un poderós home milionari, apareix mort a la seva mansió de Harrow Hill amb un tall a la gola. Les empremtes dactilars i l'ADN trobats a l'escena del crim assenyalen com a culpable en Billy Tate, un extravagant habitant del poble relacionat amb temes de bruixeria i amb una coneguda rancúnia contra la víctima. Però hi ha un problema. Després de caure d'una teulada, en Tate va ser declarat mort la vigília de l'assassinat d'en Russell. Quan la policia revisa el dipòsit on es troba el cos d'en Tate dins d'un taüt precintat, descobreix que, a més que el cadàver ha desaparegut, el taüt no estava trencat per dintre, sinó per la part exterior. De seguida es desferma un circ mediàtic, amb titulars que proclamen: home mort caminant, l'assassí de l'infern, l'assassinat de zombis. El poble sencer entra en pànic: comencen a córrer tota mena de teories de conspiració, comença una literal cacera de bruixes i, per tirar més llenya al foc, un apocalíptic predicador amant de les armes encoratja els seus seguidors a una batalla contra Satanàs. Mentre en Dave Gurney s'endinsa en la realitat de Harrow Hill, les víctimes mortals augmenten ràpidament. En Gurney descobreix una xarxa de relacions malaltisses, ressentiments aferrissats i amargues lluites de poder. Cada capa d'enganys que descobreix el porta a una altra. Però finalment en Gurney descobrirà l'estranya veritat al cor dels assassinats, una veritat tan esfereïdora com els titulars amb què es va trobar a l'inici de la investigació. John Verdon va treballar en diverses agències publicitàries a Manhattan com a director creatiu fins que, com el seu protagonista, es va traslladar a viure al nord de l'estat de Nova York en un entorn rural. Sé lo que estás pensando (Roca 2010), la seva primera novel·la, va ser un èxit mundial. El 2011 va publicar No abras los ojos, que també va ser un èxit de crítica i vendes, a la qual va seguir Deja en paz al diablo, No confíes en Peter Pan, Controlaré tus sueños y Arderás en la tormenta. La sèrie, protagonitzada pel carismàtic detectiu retirat David Gurney, és ja un referent del gènere negre i criminal. Amb El ángel negro / L'àngel negre (Roca 2020), Verdon repta novament al lector amb un nou desafiament, una trama plena de girs i un final sorprenent.

L'àngel negre

Dos terribles fets, sense cap connexió òbvia, sacsegen Fjällbacka fins al moll de l’os. Troben un fotògraf famós brutalment assassinat en una sala d’exposicions. Henning Bauer, el premi Nobel de literatura, cau víctima d’un atac violent a la petita illa on es troba escrivint la desena entrega de la seva coneguda saga de llibres. Mentre Patrik Hedström i els seus col·legues de la comissaria no semblen avançar en cap dels casos, Erica Falck investiga l’assassinat d’una dona transsexual a Estocolm que va tenir lloc durant la dècada dels anys vuitanta. A poc a poc, l’Erica s’adona que els fils del passat estan connectats amb el temps present, i que els vells pecats deixen un llarg rastre darrere seu.

El niu del cucut

Després de la pandèmia de la COVID-19, el terrorisme islàmic observa a distància l'auto-aniquilació econòmica i social de la decadent i odiada societat occidental. Enmig del desastre, una petita nació sense estat reneix de les seves cendres, es reinventa i aprofita la crisi per canviar el model de país. L'èxit la situa al capdavant dels països més pròspers d'Europa, però al mateix temps la converteix en objectiu prioritari del gihadisme. Aquesta situació compromesa obliga la presidenta de la Generalitat a fer nous plantejaments que provocaran la sobtada i imprevisible dimissió de la sotsinspectora Mimí Vidal del cos de Mossos d'Esquadra, el 19 de novembre de 2021. «Ningú no va entendre perquè la Mimí havia plegat dels Mossos d'un dia per l'altre i s'havia tancat a casa. Els seus, però, ho van respectar. L'Enric va voler creure, encara que ella no n'hi digués res, que era per complir millor el desig que tots dos compartien de ser pares, desig que una feina tan arriscada li impedia d'assumir amb responsabilitat. La Sandra va dir-se que si la seva amiga de l'ànima no li volia aclarir, ella no li reclamaria cap explicació, que per això era la millor pels segles dels segles. La Rosa... la Rosa va començar a patir des del primer moment de saber-ho; la seva filla no podia haver deixat la que era la feina de la seva vida sense més ni més. La Mimí, a casa, llegia, amagava els llibres que llegia i es connectava a la xarxa». Encertar els motius ocults pels quals una persona decideix seguir els dictats més foscos de l'ànima humana i prendre el camí de la destrucció de la societat on viu no és a l'abast de ningú, ni dels més experts, ni dels més intuïtius, ni dels més empàtics. Per això la Mimí, amb la seva peculiar autoestima oscil·lant, pensa sovint que aquesta vegada la seva missió és impossible. Aquesta novel·la continua la saga sobre la Mimí Vidal, que es va iniciar amb Les cadenes subtils l'any 2016 i va seguir amb El silenci de Vallbona l'any 2017.

The Predator

El genio de Edgard Allan Poe moldea la siniestra premisa del entierro antes de la muerte para construir un relato perfecto, claustrofóbico, intrigante. El asfixiante desamparo de un hombre que sabe que corre el peligro de ser enterrado vivo permite un ingenioso ejercicio de tensión sostenida que haría que el mismo Hitchcock se removiera en su tumba. Como broche de oro, una advertencia extraordinaria que indica que cada uno es artesano de un infierno propio a su medida.

El entierro prematuro

A “propulsive thriller about secret organizations, hidden agendas, and the lengths one woman will go to reclaim her life” (Laura Dave, author of Reese’s Book Club Pick The Last Thing He Told Me) from USA TODAY bestselling author Catherine McKenzie. At thirty-nine, Nicole Mueller’s life is on the rocks in “this brilliant, tangled web of lies, cover ups and deception” (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author). Her once brilliant law career is falling apart. She and her husband, Dan, are about to be forced out of the apartment they love. After a warning from her firm’s senior partners, she receives an invitation from an exclusive women’s networking group, Panthera Leo. Membership is anonymous, but every member is a successful professional. It sounds like the perfect solution to help Nicole revive her career. So, despite Dan’s jokes that the group might be a cult, Nicole signs up for their retreat in Colorado. Once there, she meets the other women who will make up her Pride. A CEO, an actress, a finance whiz, a congresswoman: Nicole can’t believe her luck. The founders of Panthera Leo are equally impressive. They explain the group’s core philosophy: they’re a girl’s club in a boy’s club world. Nicole is all in. And when she gets home, she soon sees dividends. Her new network quickly provides her with clients that help her relaunch her career, and a great new apartment too. The favors she must provide in return seem benign. But then she’s called to the congresswoman’s apartment late at night where she’s pressed into helping her cover up a crime. And suddenly, Dan’s concerns that something more sinister is at play seem all too relevant. Is Panthera Leo full of predators? And is Nicole the prey?

The Dead Husband

Praise for Iain Levison: "The real deal . . . bracing, hilarious and dead on."-- The New York Times Book Review "Witty, deft, well-conceived writing that combines sharp satire with real suspense."-- Kirkus Reviews "Levison writes tight, punchy prose, with deadpan humor and savvy."-- The Wall Street Journal Philip Dixon is down on his luck. An escape from a lucrative but botched bank robbery lands him bleeding and on the verge of collapse in a college town in New Hampshire. How can he find a place to hide out in this innocent setting? Peering into the window of the nearest house, he sees a glimmer of hope: a man in his mid-thirties, obviously some kind of academic, is rolling around on the living room floor with an attractive high-school student. Professor Elias White is then blackmailed into harboring a dangerous fugitive, as Dixon--with a cool quarter-million in his bag and dreams of Canada in his head--gets ready for the last phase of his escape. But the last phase is always the hardest. Attractive and persistent FBI agent Denise Lupo is on his trail. As for Elias White, his surprising transition from respected academic to willing accomplice poses a ruthless threat that Dixon would be foolish to underestimate. "...Funny and acerbic, and crackles with raw energy."-- The Sunday Times (UK) Iain Levison was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1963. Since moving to the United States, he has worked as a fisherman, carpenter, and cook, and he has detailed his woes of wage slavery in A Working Stiff's Manifesto.
