The Franchise Affair (Inspector Alan Grant #3)

Robert Blair, a local solicitor, is called on to defend two women, Marion Sharpe and her mother, who are accused of kidnapping and beating a fifteen-year-old war orphan named Betty Kane. Set in Milford, the novel opens with the Sharpes about to be interviewed by local police and Scotland Yard, represented by Inspector Alan Grant (who is the protagonist of five other Tey novels). Marion calls Blair and, although his firm does not do criminal cases, he agrees to come out to their home, "The Franchise," to look out for their interests during the questioning.

Appointment with Death

Among the towering red cliffs and the ancient ruins of Petra sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton, the cruel and tyrannizing matriarch of the Boynton family. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her. With only twenty-four hours to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalls a remark he overheard back in Jerusalem: "You do see, don't you, that she's got to be killed?" Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he had ever met.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Fifteen year old Christopher is about to embark on an investigation... Lots of things are mysteries. But that doesn't mean there isn't an answer to them. It was 7 minutes after midnight. The dog was lying on the grass in the middle of the lawn in front of Mrs Shears' house. Its eyes were closed. It looked as if it was running on its side, the way dogs run when they think they are chasing a cat in a dream. But the dog was not running or asleep. The dog was dead. This is Christopher's murder mystery story. There are also no lies in this story because Christopher can't tell lies. Christopher does not like strangers or the colours yellow or brown or being touched. On the other hand, he knows all the countries in the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7507. When Christopher decides to find out who killed the neighbour's dog, his mystery story becomes more complicated than he could have ever predicted. 'Outstanding... a stunningly good read' Observer 'A superb achievement. He is a wise and bleakly funny writer with rare gifts of empathy' Ian McEwan **ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

Murder in Mesopotamia

Una autora clásica que nunca pasa de moda, con más de cuatro billones de ejemplares vendidos. Un siniestro misterio en Oriente Medio para Hércules Poirot. Cuando la enfermera Amy Leatheram viaja al yacimiento arqueológico de Tell Yarimjah, en pleno desierto de Iraq, para cuidar a Louise Leidner, la mujer del director de la excavación, los acontecimientos le resultan más extraños de lo que jamás podría haber imaginado. Las aterradoras alucinaciones que sufre su paciente no parecen responder a ningún motivo. A medida que pasan los días, el ambiente se tensará cada vez más. Sin embargo, el equipo solo comprenderá la gravedad del asunto cuando se produzca un asesinato. Con una mancha de sangre como única pista, Hércules Poirot se embarcará en un viaje hacia los rincones más oscuros del alma para desentrañar un misterio que pondrá a prueba sus extraordinarias capacidades. «Un misterio que pocos serán capaces de resolver en un escenario sin precedentes en la ficción policíaca.» THE SUNDAY TIMES

Nemesis

In utter disbelief, Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr. Rafiel--an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. He had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intriguing. Soon she is faced with a new crime--the ultimate crime--murder. It seems someone is adamant that past evils remained buried. . . .

Cards on the Table

A BBC Radio full-cast dramatization starring John Moffatt as Hercule Poirot, with Stephanie Cole and Donald Sinden. Hercule Poirot, along with three other luminaries from the world of crime detection, is invited to dinner by the renowned London socialite Dr. Shaitana. Also on the guest list are four members of what Shaitana calls his Black Museum--a collection of murderers who have each succeeded in "getting away with it." After midnight, when the guests prepare to leave, they make a terrible discovery. Their host is dead in his armchair, stabbed in the chest. The four sleuths are thus faced with one murder and a quartet of likely suspects. Working both together and independently, they investigate the past of the Black Museum's finest in order to determine the most likely killer. Poirot finds that many distractions are thrown in his way, as he attempts to read the meaning of the cards which each suspect has placed on the table.

The Four Pools Mystery

It was through the Patterson-Pratt forgery case that I first made the acquaintance of Terry Patten, and at the time I should have been more than willing to forego the pleasure. Our firm rarely dealt with criminal cases, but the Patterson family were long standing clients, and they naturally turned to us when the trouble came. Ordinarily, so important a matter would have been put in the hands of one of the older men, but it happened that I was the one who had drawn up the will for Patterson Senior the night before his suicide, therefore the brunt of the work devolved upon me. The most unpleasant part of the whole affair was the notoriety. Could we have kept it from the papers, it would not have been so bad, but that was a physical impossibility; Terry Patten was on our track, and within a week he had brought down upon us every newspaper in New York.

The Green Mile

Stephen King ambienta su novela en una penitenciaría de presos condenados a muerte, una antesala del infierno de la que se sirve para trazar una radiografía del horror en estado puro. Octubre de 1932, penitenciaría de Cold Mountain. Los condenados a muerte aguardan el momento de ser conducidos a la silla eléctrica a través del pasillo conocido como la Milla Verde. Los crímenes abominables que han cometido les convierten en carnaza de un sistema legal que se alimenta de un círculo de locura, muerte y venganza. El guardia de la prisión Paul Edgecombe ha visto cosas raras en sus años trabajando en la Milla. Pero nunca ha visto a nadie como John Coffey, un hombre con el cuerpo de un gigante y la mente de un niño, condenado por un crimen aterrador en su violencia e impactante en su depravación. Y en este lugar donde reciben el máximo castigo, Edgecombe está a punto de descubrir la terrible y maravillosa verdad sobre Coffey, una verdad que desafiará sus más íntimas creencias... La milla verde representa un hito en la aclamada trayectoria del maestro indiscutible de la narrativa de terror contemporánea.

No name

Una imprevista tragedia familiar, que descubre la ilegitimidad del nacimiento de las hermanas Vanstone, las deja privadas de todo derecho a recibir su herencia. Solas, sin posición, sin fortuna, sin nombre, estas dos hijas de nadie afrontarán con desigual talante su inesperado destino. Mientras la mayor, Norah, acepta su destino con resignación, Magdalen, la menor, se rebela contra él y encara un peligroso camino. Sin nombre es una extraordinaria novela que combina una trama familiar de venganzas con una denuncia social: en realidad Wilkie Collins pretendía criticar una absurda ley que se aplicaba en aquella época a los hijos de padres no casados.

The Runaway Jury

#1 "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER They are at the center of a multimillion-dollar legal hurricane: twelve men and women who have been investigated, watched, manipulated, and harassed by high-priced lawyers and consultants who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict. Now the jury must make a decision in the most explosive civil trial of the century, a precedent-setting lawsuit against a giant tobacco company. But only a handful of people know the truth: that this jury has a leader, and the verdict belongs to him. He is known only as Juror #2. But he has a name, a past, and he has planned his every move with the help of a beautiful woman on the outside. Now, while a corporate empire hangs in the balance, while a grieving family waits, and while lawyers are plunged into a battle for their careers, the truth about Juror #2 is about to explode in a cross fire of greed and corruption--and with justice fighting for its life.

Partners in Crime

Tommy and Tuppence, Agatha Christie’s bantering pair of 1920s bright young things, solve mysteries together as a pair of newlyweds in this delightful collection of linked short stories. Tommy Beresford and Tuppence Crowley, after their first foray into amateur crime-solving in Christie’s earlier novel The Secret Adversary, are now happily married to each other—but both are finding the settled life a little boring. When the opportunity arises to go undercover disguised as professional detectives, the newlyweds seize the chance. While helping Scotland Yard infiltrate a ring of international spies, they also take on every chance client who comes through the door. In the process, they succeed in recovering a stolen pink pearl, finding out who poisoned a box of chocolates, and tracing how a murderer vanished into thin air on a golf course, among other thrilling adventures.

The Partner

Un muerto no puede escapar eternamente... Lo encontraron en un pequeño pueblo de Brasil. Tenía otro nombre y otro aspecto, pero estaban seguros de haber dado con él. Cuatro años antes se llamaba Patrick S. Lanigan. Había muerto en un accidente de tráfico en febrero de 1992. Estaba enterrado en un cementerio de Biloxi, Mississippi. Había sido socio en un prometedor bufete de abogados, tenía una esposa guapa, una nueva hija y un futuro espléndido. A las seis semanas de su muerte, noventa millones de dólares desaparecieron de las cuentas de la empresa. Fue entonces cuando sus socios supieron que seguía con vida. La crítica ha dicho... «Tiene suspense, dramatismo y obsesión por el detalle: todos los ingredientes que han convertido las novelas de Grisham en best sellers... Una lectura estupenda.» Sunday Mirror

The New York Trilogy

First published in 1985-1986, "The New York Trilogy "("City of Glass, Ghosts," and "The Locked Room") brought immediate international attention to its author, Paul Auster, and elevated him to near-celebrity status, particularly in France. This trilogy and his many works since then (including "In the Country of Last Words," "Leviathan," "Mr. Vertigo," "Moon Palace," and others) have been translated into numerous languages and have brought him further world attention. Auster's trilogy broke ground in its mix of serious fictional techniques and detective and mystery genres. Geoffrey O'Brien of "The Village Voice "wrote: ""The New York Trilogy "are novels of desire: the desire to write a detective novel, to read one, to -inhabit it. . . . By turning the mystery novel inside out, Auster may have -initiated a whole new round of storytelling." This new edition will delight readers and collectors of Auster's work.

At the Villa Rose, in Four acts

This book is both a celebration of the life and career of the eminent literary scholar, critic, and journalist John Sutherland and an extension of Sutherland’s work in various fields, including nineteenth- and twentieth-century Anglo-American literature, the publishing industry, and its impact upon creativity and literary puzzles. With contributions from over twenty-five distinguished critics, literary journalists and scholars, this book goes beyond merely describing Sutherland’s work. The essayists pay homage to Sutherland while also staking their own critical/scholarly claims. From investigating the publishing dimension, Victorians major and minor, the complexities of Dickens and George Eliot, the “archeology” of Pride and Prejudice to examining the implications of Shakespearean souvenirs, literary puzzles, and Non-Victorians, the essays offer fresh dimensions to Sutherland’s rich career as a professor, critic, and journalist.

Män som hatar kvinnor

"Folk har alltid hemligheter. Det handlar bara om att lista ut vilka." Lisbeth Salander Den första boken i Stieg Larssons Millenniumserie, succéfenomenet som sålt 100 miljoner exemplar världen över. För fyrtio år sedan försvann den unga Harriet Vanger spårlöst. Den grävande journalisten Mikael Blomkvist får i uppdrag av industrimagnaten Henrik Vanger att ta reda på vad som hände Vangers systerdotter. Blomkvist tar hjälp av Lisbeth Salander - en ung strulig tjej, tatuerad och piercad, men också professionell hacker och med unika egenskaper som gör henne till en oslagbar researcher. Tillsammans är de snart en mörk och blodig familjetragedi på spåren. Stieg Larssons tre romaner i Millenniumserien har för alltid gjort avtryck i spänningslitteraturen. Stieg Larsson avled 2005 och hann inte uppleva den globala succé böckerna gjort, med miljontals läsare som tagit Blomkvist och Salander till sina hjärtan. "... något av det mest gastkramande och välskrivna man kan läsa för tillfället; en roman av hög internationell kvalitet i genren." - Göteborgs-Posten "... en suveränt berättad historia och en fingerfärdigt konstruerad gåta." - Svenska Dagbladet "Salander står för något nytt och unikt i genren." - Los Angeles Times (US)
