The seventh sinner

At first, Jean Suttman thought she had died and gone to Heaven when she was granted the opportunity to study in Rome. But the body that's lying in the ancient subterranean Temple of Mithra—the murdered corpse of a repulsive and disliked fellow student—isn't her idea of heavenly. Now she is truly frightened, not just because small "accidents" seem to be occurring around her with disturbing regularity. It's the ever-increasing certainty that someone, for some unknown reason, is ruthlessly determined to do her harm. Jean's innocent underground excursion into a sacred pagan place has trapped her in something dark and terrifying, and even the knowledge that practical, perceptive fellow American Jacqueline Kirby is on the case won't ease her fears. Because there's only so far Jean Suttman can run . . . and no escape for her except death.

The Camelot caper

The Lethal Stuff of Legends For Jessica Tregarth, an unexpected invitation to visit her grandfather in England is a wonderful surprise—an opportunity to open doors to a family past that have always been closed to her. But sinister acts greet her arrival. A stranger tries to steal her luggage and later accosts her in Salisbury Cathedral. Mysterious villains pursue her through Cornwall, their motive and intentions unknown. Jessica's only clue is an antique heirloom she possesses, an ancient ring that bears the Tregarth family crest. And her only ally is handsome gothic novelist David Randall—her self-proclaimed protector—who appears from seemingly out of nowhere to help her in her desperate—attempt to solve a five hundred-year-old, puzzle. For something from out of the cloudy mists of Arthurian lore has come back to plague a frightened American abroad. And a remarkable truth about a fabled king and a medieval treasure could ultimately make Jess Tregarth very rich...or very dead.

Real Murders (Aurora Teagarden, Book 1)

'Harris draws the guilty and the innocent into an engrossing tale while inventing a heroine as capable and potentially complex as P. D. James's Cordelia Gray' (Publishers Weekly) #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris introduces a librarian whose bookish bent for murder gets her involved in a real-life killing spree . . . Lawrenceton, Georgia, may be a growing suburb of Atlanta, but it's still a small town at heart. Librarian Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden grew up there and knows more than enough about her fellow townsfolk, including which ones share her interest in the darker side of human nature . . . With those fellow crime buffs, Roe belongs to a club called Real Murders, which meets once a month to analyze famous cases. It's a harmless pastime - until the night she finds a member dead, killed in a manner that eerily resembles the crime the club was about to discuss. As other brutal "copycat" killings follow, Roe will have to uncover the person behind the terrifying game, one that casts all the members of Real Murders, herself included, as prime suspects-or potential victims . . . 'Clearly focused plot, animated description of character and real estate, and sparkling prose commend this breath of fresh air to all collections' (Library Journal) 'Great bloody fun' (Barbara Paul)

The secret of Red Gate Farm

The author provides an interdisciplinary cultural study of the evolution of Progressive-era girls' peer groups, their representation in popular girls' fiction, and the influence of these communities, both real and fictional, upon young women's lives during the years leading up to the Second World War. The writers featured in this volume were the first generation of New Women, whose ability to enter traditionally male spaces such as the college campus, the playing field, the wilderness, and the office was facilitated by their membership in women's clubs, political and religious organizations, and athletic teams. Eager to promote the idea that same-sex group activities would lead to female empowerment, these clubwomen targeted young girls as their intended audience and developed an idealized fictional portrait of female cooperation that girls could replicate in their own lives. By adding to our knowledge of girls' cultural history, the author gives voice to a segment of the population that was, and still is, at the center of society's debates concerning the appropriate roles for girls and women. Authors discussed include Louisa May Alcott, Emma Dunham Kelley, Laura Lee Hope (psuedonym for Lilian Garis), Carolyn Keene (pseudonym for Mildred Wirt Benson), and Margaret Sutton.

The Mystery of Cabin Island

When Frank and Joe Hardy set out for a winter holiday on the desolate, ice-bound Cabin Island, they expect nothing more than peaceful days of skating and cozy fires. But from the moment they arrive, something feels wrong. A strange man is lurking in the woods, a bitter rival seems to know more than he lets on, and the island’s long-abandoned cabin holds whispers of a mystery long buried beneath the snow. As a powerful blizzard bears down, the Hardy boys find themselves racing against time—battling the elements, cracking hidden codes, and uncovering a secret that someone will do anything to keep hidden. The deeper they dig, the more dangerous the island becomes. Snowbound and cut off from help, can Frank and Joe unravel the island’s chilling mystery before it’s too late?

Oh, and she's still got someone determined to kill her. It's starting to seem like it's not the job that's the disaster attractor...

Three bedrooms, one corpse

'Great bloody fun' Barbara Paul Aurora Teagarden's decision to become a real estate agent turns out to be a life-or-death choice in this mystery from #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris. Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden had always worked for a living, until an unexpected legacy gave her the money to quit her librarian job. Now, with time on her hands, she decides to try selling real estate. Her mother, after all, is Lawrenceton's premier real estate agent, giving her a head start on this new career! But at her first house showing, Roe discovers the naked corpse of a rival broker in the master bedroom. When one of her mother's colleagues falls under suspicion, Roe is determined to clear his name. And when a second body is found in another house for sale, it becomes obvious that there is a very cool killer at large in Lawrenceton, one who knows a great deal about real estate-and maybe too much about Roe . . . 'Harris draws the guilty and the innocent into an engrossing tale while inventing a heroine as capable and potentially complex as P. D. James's Cordelia Gray' (Publishers Weekly) 'Clearly focused plot, animated description of character and real estate, and sparkling prose commend this breath of fresh air to all collections' (Library Journal)

Fear of the Dark

Fearless Jones and Paris Minton, stars of the bestsellers Fearless Jones and Fear Itself, return in a high-velocity, larger-than-life thriller about family, betrayal, and revenge. "I'm in trouble, Paris." Paris Minton has heard these words before. They mean only one thing: that his neck is on the line too. So when they are uttered by his lowlife cousin Ulysses S. Grant, Paris keeps the door firmly closed. With family like Ulysses -- useless to everyone except his mother -- who needs enemies? But trouble always finds an open window, and when "Useless" Ulysses' mother, Three Hearts, shows up from Louisiana to look for her son, Paris has no choice but to track down his wayward cousin. Finding a con artist like Useless is easier said than done. But with the aid of his ear-to-the-ground friend Fearless Jones, Paris gets a hint that Useless may have expanded his range of enterprise to include blackmail. Now he has disappeared, and Paris's mission is to discover whether he is hiding from his vengeful victims -- or already dead. Traversing the complicated landscape of 1950s Los Angeles, where a wrong look can get a black man killed, Paris and Fearless find desperate women, secret lives, and more than one dead body along the way. Fear of the Dark is filled with the sheer-nerve plotting and brilliant characterizations that prompted The Nation to credit Walter Mosley for "the finest detective oeuvre in American literature."

Long time gone

Fifty years ago, when she was five, Sister Mary Katherine witnessed something terrible . . . A former Seattle policeman now working for the Washington State Attorney's Special Homicide Investigation Team, J.P. Beaumont has been hand-picked to lead the investigation into a half-century-old murder. An eyewitness to the crime, a middle-aged nun, has now recalled grisly, forgotten details while undergoing hypnotherapy. It's a case as cold as the grave, and it's running headlong into another that's tearing at Beau's heart: the vicious slaying of his former partner's ex-wife. What's worse, his rapidly unraveling friend is the prime suspect. Caught in the middle of a lethal conspiracy that spans two generations and a killing that hits too close to home -- targeted by a vengeful adversary and tempted by a potential romance that threatens to reawaken his personal demons -- Beaumont may suddenly have more on his plate than he can handle, and far too much to survive.

Drowned hopes

Dortmunder's past comes back to haunt him when he returns home after an unsuccessful burglary and finds his old cellmate sitting in his living room. He needs Dortmunder's help in retrieving $700,000 that he'd buried in a small town 30 years before. The problem is that, while he sat in jail, the State of New York flooded the area to build a reservoir; the loot is now under a few feet of dirt and many feet of water. Being a man of great determination but few ethical principles, the thief plans to blow up the dam, emptying the reservoir but also flooding the inhabited countryside to get at his stash. Dortmunder pleads with him to be allowed to retrieve the money another way. His first attempt fails. And his second. And third. Meanwhile the thief is losing patience...

The Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams

Bernie Rhodenbarr is actually trying to earn an honest living. It's been an entire year since he's entered anyone's abode illegally to help himself to their valuables. But now an unscrupulous landlord's threat to increase Bernie's rent by 1,000% is driving the bookseller and reformed burglar back to a life of crime -- though, in all fairness, it's a very short trip. And when the cops wrongly accuse him of stealing a priceless collection of baseball cards, Bernie's stuck with a worthless alibi since he was busy burgling a different apartment at the time . . . one that happened to contain a dead body locked inside a bathroom. So Bernie has a dilemma. He can trade a burglary charge for a murder rap. Or he can shuffle all the cards himself and try to find the joker in the deck -- someone, perhaps, who believes that homicide is the real Great American Pastime.

Put on By Cunning

Sir Manuel Carmargue, one of the greatest flautists of his time, was dead. Misadventure. An old man, ankle-deep in snow, he lost his foothold in the dark, slipping into the water to be trapped under a lid of ice. Only a glove remained to point to where he lay, one of its fingers rising out of the drifts. There's nothing Chief Inspector Wexford likes better than an open-and-shut case. They're so restful. And yet there are one or two niggling doubts - and the disturbing return of Carmargue's daughter, now a considerable heiress, after an absence of nineteen years. Is Wexford going to listen to that nagging inner voice of his? And if he does, what exactly does he plan to do?

Grasshopper

Grasshopper is an enthralling, chilling novel by the bestselling queen of crime Barbara Vine 'They have sent me here because of what happened on the pylon' When Clodagh Brown writes these words at the age of nineteen, she believes that she is leaving behind the traumatic events of her youth. But Clodagh soon learns that you can never entirely escape your past. In the aftermath of the incident on the pylon - a gargantuan electrified grasshopper - Clodagh goes off to university, moves into a basement flat arranged by her unsympathetic family, and finds freedom trekking across London's rooftops with a gang of neighborhood misfits. As she begins a thrilling relationship with a fellow climber, however, both Clodagh and the reader are haunted by the memory of the pylon and of the terrible thing that happened there - and by the eerie sense that another tragedy is just a footfall away. Grasshopper is a modern crime masterpiece that will have you gripped from the first page to the last. If you enjoy the novels of P.D. James, Ian Rankin and Scott Turow, you will love this book.

El thriller electrizante que introdujo a Robert Langdon en un mundo de secretos ancestrales y conspiraciones mortales--Ángeles y Demonios de Dan Brown, el autor de bestsellers #1 del New York Times, como El Código Da Vinci y El Símbolo Perdido. Celebrando el 20 aniversario de la creación de Robert Langdon, su legendario protagonista. Robert Langdon, experto en simbología, es convocado a un centro de investigación suizo para analizar un misterioso signo marcado a fuego en el pecho de un físico asesinado. Allí, Langdon descubre el resurgimiento de una antigua hermandad secreta: los Illuminati, que han emergido de las sombras para llevar a cabo la fase final de una legendaria venganza contra su enemigo más odiado: la Iglesia católica. Los peores temores de Langdon se confirman cuando los Illuminati anuncian que han escondido una bomba en el corazón de la Ciudad del Vaticano. Con la cuenta atrás en marcha, Langdon viaja a Roma para unir fuerzas con Vittoria Vetra, una bella y misteriosa científica. Los dos se embarcarán en una desesperada carrera contrarreloj por los rincones menos conocidos del Vaticano. Ángeles y Demonios, la primera aventura del carismático e inolvidable Robert Langdon, es un adictivo y trepidante thriller sobre la eterna pugna entre ciencia y religión. Esta lucha se convierte en una verdadera guerra que pondrá en jaque a toda la humanidad, que deberá luchar hasta el último minuto para evitar un gran desastre.

Celebrating 20 years of Robert Langdon, the legendary protagonist.

There, he uncovers the resurgence of an ancient secret society--the Illuminati, emerging from the shadows to execute the final stage of their legendary revenge against their greatest enemy: the Catholic Church. Langdon's worst fears are confirmed when the Illuminati announce that they have hidden a bomb in the heart of Vatican City. With the countdown already underway, Langdon rushes to Rome, teaming up with Vittoria Vetra, a brilliant and enigmatic scientist. Together, they embark on a desperate race against time, navigating the Vatican's most hidden corners in a high-stakes search for answers. Angels & Demons, the first thrilling adventure starring the unforgettable Robert Langdon, is an intense, gripping page-turner that explores the timeless clash between science and religion --a battle that soon escalates into a full-blown war, threatening to bring humanity to the brink of disaster.

Misery

Estaba loca, pero él la necesitaba. Paul Sheldon es un escritor que sufre un grave accidente y recobra el conocimiento en una apartada casa, donde vive una misteriosa mujer, capaz de cometer los mayores horrores. Paul tendrá que luchar por su vida. Misery Chastain ha muerto. Paul Sheldon la ha matado. Con alivio y hasta con alegría. Misery lo ha hecho rico. Porque Misery es la protagonista de sus exitosos libros. Paul quiere volver a escribir. Algo diferente, algo auténtico. Pero entonces sufre un accidente y despierta inmóvil y atravesado por el dolor en una cama que no es la suya, tampoco la de un hospital. Annie Wilkes lo ha recogido y lo ha traído a su remota casa de la montaña. La buena noticia es que Annie había sido enfermera y tiene medicamentos analgésicos. La mala es que durante mucho tiempo ha sido la fan número uno de Paul. Y cuando descubre lo que le ha hecho a Misery Chastain, no le gusta. No le gusta en absoluto. Antes, Paul Sheldon escribía para ganarse la vida. Ahora, Paul Sheldon escribe para sobrevivir. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The #1 New York Times bestseller about a famous novelist held hostage in a remote location by his “number one fan.” One of “Stephen King’s best…genuinely scary” (USA TODAY). Paul Sheldon is a bestselling novelist who has finally met his number one fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes, and she is more than a rabid reader—she is Paul’s nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also furious that the author has killed off her favorite character in his latest book. Annie becomes his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house. Annie wants Paul to write a book that brings Misery back to life—just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an axe. And if they don’t work, she can get really nasty. “King at his best…a winner!” —The New York Times “Unadulteratedly terrifying…frightening.” —Publishers Weekly “Classic King…full of twists and turns and mounting suspense.” —The Boston Globe

¿Quién o qué mutila y mata a los niños de un pequeño pueblo norteamericano? ¿Por qué llega cíclicamente el horror a Derry en forma de un payaso siniestro que va sembrando la destrucción a su paso? Esto es lo que se proponen averiguar los protagonistas de esta novela. Tras veintisiete años de tranquilidad y lejanía, una antigua promesa infantil les hace volver al lugar en el que vivieron su infancia y juventud como una terrible pesadilla. Regresan a Derry para enfrentarse con su pasado y enterrar definitivamente la amenaza que los amargó durante su niñez. Saben que pueden morir, pero son conscientes de que no conocerán la paz hasta que aquella cosa sea destruida para siempre. It es una de las novelas más ambiciosas de Stephen King, con la que ha logrado perfeccionar de un modo muy personal las claves del género de terror. La crítica ha dicho... «Insuperable.» La Vanguardia

Deception Point

Famoso por combinar ciencia, historia y política en sus exitosos thrillers El Código Da Vinci y Ángeles y Demonios, el autor bestseller del New York Times, Dan Brown, presenta una novela llena de tensión, donde la realidad se distorsiona y cada revelación es más sorprendente que la anterior. «Absorbente», The Washington Post «Un thriller excelente», Publishers Weekly Un nuevo satélite de la NASA demuestra la existencia de un extraño objeto enterrado en el hielo del Ártico. Para la agencia espacial norteamericana se trata de una victoria muy necesaria para la política espacial de los EE.UU. y para la futura elección de su presidente. La analista de inteligencia Rachel Sexton y el académico Michael Tolland son los encargados de verificar la autenticidad del hallazgo. Una vez allí, descubren lo impensable: todo ha sido un engaño. Pero antes de que puedan hablar con el presidente, Rachel y Michael son atacados por un grupo de asesinos a sueldo controlados por un misterioso hombre que no se detendrá ante nada para ocultar la verdad. Dan Brown transporta a los lectores a la Oficina Nacional de Reconocimiento (NRO), a las plataformas de hielo del círculo polar ártico y a los pasillos del Ala Oeste de la Casa Blanca en un emocionante thriller que recorre los secretos mejor guardados de los servicios secretos norteamericanos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Known for seamlessly blending science, history, and politics in his blockbuster thrillers The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, New York Times bestselling author Dan Brown delivers another gripping novel where nothing is as it seems--and every twist brings a shocking revelation. "Absorbing." --The Washington Post "An excellent thriller." --Publishers Weekly A new NASA satellite detects the presence of a mysterious object buried deep beneath the Arctic ice. For the U.S. space agency, it's a much-needed victory--one that could reshape America's space policy and influence the upcoming presidential election. Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton and scholar Michael Tolland are tasked with verifying the authenticity of the discovery. But once on site, they uncover the unimaginable: everything is a lie. Before they can alert the President, Rachel and Michael become the targets of a deadly mercenary strike team, controlled by a shadowy figure willing to do anything to keep the truth buried. Dan Brown takes readers deep into the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the frozen Arctic ice fields, and the corridors of the West Wing of the White House in a pulse-pounding thriller that exposes the most closely guarded secrets of U.S. intelligence.

Pet Sematary

Louis lo había comprobado: el gato estaba muerto, y por eso lo había enterrado. Aun así, incomprensiblemente, el gato había vuelto a casa. Church estaba allí otra vez, como Louis Creed temía y deseaba. Porque su hijita Ellie le había encomendado que cuidara del gato, y Church había muerto atropellado. Louis lo había comprobado: el gato estaba muerto, incluso lo había enterrado más allá del cementerio de animales. Sin embargo, Chruch había regresado, y sus ojos eran más crueles y perversos que antes. Pero volvía a estar allí y Ellie no lo lamentaría. Louis Creed sí lo lamentaría. Porque más allá del cementerio de animales, más allá de la valla de troncos que nadie se atrevía a traspasar, más allá de los cuarenta y cinco escalones, el maligno poder del antiguo cementerio indio le reclamaba con macabra avidez...

Digital Fortress

When the National Security Agency s invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage not by guns or bombs, but by a code so complex that if released would cripple U.S. intelligence.nnCaught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves एन.एस.ए. या संस्थेने एका महासंगणकाच्या साहाय्याने कोणत्याही गुप्त मजकुराचा भेद करून उलगडा करणारी यंत्रणा निर्माण केली. एका गूढमजकुराचा भेद मात्र त्यांच्या महासंगणकाला करता येईना. पाच मिनिटात होणारे त्याचे काम दिवस उलटून गेला तरी संपेना. ह्या संस्थेत सुसान नावाची एक सुंदर गणितज्ञ स्त्री होती. तिला त्या वेळी जे सत्य सापडले ते हादरवणारे होते; सत्तेच्या महामार्गावर भूकंप घडवणारे होते. एन.एस.ए. संस्थेला ओलीस धरले गेले होते. बॉम्बने नव्हे, शस्त्रांनी नव्हे, तर फक्त एका अगम्य अशा सॉफ्टवेअरच्या कार्यक्रमाने ओलीस धरलेले होते. सुसान संस्था वाचवण्यासाठी शर्थीने प्रयत्न करत होती. सारे अमेरिका राष्ट्र पांगळे होण्याची वेळ जवळ येत चालली होती. शेवटी तिलाच आपला जीव वाचवण्यासाठी धडपड करत पळापळ करावी लागली. तिची सर्व बाजूंनी फसवणूक झाली होती. तिला आपल्या प्रियकराची काळजी वाटू लागल्याने ती बेभान झाली होती.शेवटची लढाई कमालीची रोमहर्षक ठरली.

A Time to Kill

John Grisham's first and most shocking legal thriller, adapted as a film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey. ______________________________ THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER FROM THE MASTER OF LEGAL THRILLERS When Carl Lee Hailey guns down the violent racists who raped his ten-year-old daughter, the people of the small town of Clanton, Mississippi see it as justice done, and call for his acquittal. But when extremists outside Clanton - including the KKK - hear that a black man has killed two white men, they invade the town, determined to destroy anything and anyone that opposes their sense of justice. A media circus descends on Clanton. As tensions mount, Hailey hires the inexperienced Jake Brigance to defend him. It is the kind of case that could make a young lawyer's career. But it is also the kind of case that could get a young lawyer killed. . . ______________________________ 'A master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos' Irish Independent 'John Grisham is the master of legal fiction!' Jodi Picoult 'The best thriller writer alive' Ken Follett 'John Grisham has perfected the art of cooking up convincing and fast-paced thrillers' Telegraph 'Grisham is a superb, instinctive storyteller' The Times 'Grisham's storytelling genius reminds us that when it comes to legal drama, the master is in a league of his own. . .' Daily Record 'Masterful - when Grisham gets in the courtroom he lets rip, drawing scenes so real they're not just alive, they're pulsating' Mirror 'A giant of the thriller genre!' TimeOut The original, epoch-defining Jake Brigance novel. Brigance returns in SYCAMORE ROW and A TIME FOR MERCY.

The Lost World

Michael Crichton retoma en esta continuación de Parque Jurásico los aspectos más inquietantes de la trama original. La pesadilla empieza en la isla de Costa Rica, donde se encuentran varios cadáveres de dinosaurios. El paleontólogo Richard Levine organiza una expedición y, gracias a sus peculiares ayudantes -dos niños superdotados-, consigue que Ian Malcolm, uno de los pocos hombres que conoce lo que realmente ocurrió en aquella isla remota, colabore en la arriesgada empresa. Como es sabido, esa isla fue el verdadero "laboratorio" del parque, donde los dinosaurios eran "fabricados" y criados sin ningún criterio científico por los responsables de una empresa cegada por los intereses económicos. Ahora, las consecuencias de tales manipulaciones son pavorosas: los dinosaurios se han vuelto violentos e impredecibles y amenazan con extender su salvaje hegemonía a todo el planeta. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the author of Timeline, Sphere, and Congo comes the sequel to the smash-hit Jurassic Park, a thriller that’s been millions of years in the making. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Fast and gripping.”—The Washington Post Book World It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end—the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, and the island indefinitely closed to the public. There are rumors that something has survived. . . . “Harrowing thrills . . . fast-paced and engaging.”—People “A very scary read.”—Entertainment Weekly “Action-packed.”—New York Daily News “An edge-of-the-seat tale.”—St. Petersburg Times

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

Un cuento de hadas macabro contado con el perspicaz e indomable espíritu de una niña. Una historia que toca la fibra de nuestras emociones más básicas. La chica que amaba a Tom Gordon explora nuestro más profundo terror a lo desconocido. «El mundo tenía dientes y podía morderte en cualquier momento, Trisha McFarland lo descubrió cuando tenía nueve años. A las diez de una mañana de principios de junio estaba sentada en el asiento trasero del Dodge Caravan de su madre, vestida con una sudadera azul de los Red Sox (la que llevaba 36 Gordon estampado en la espalda), y jugaba con su muñeca. A las diez y media se había perdido en el bosque. A las once intentaba contener su terror, no pensar: Esto va en serio, esto va muy en serio. Intentaba no pensar que, en ocasiones, cuando la gente se perdía en el bosque salía gravemente dañada. A veces incluso moría.» La crítica ha dicho... «Comienza con la inocencia, pasa por el valle de las sombras de la muerte y termina con un guiño benévolo del autor.» El País Semanal

Red Dragon

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Por el autor de El silencio de los corderos y Hannibal, El dragón rojo es una novela de misterio y suspense donde Thomas Harris nos presenta por primera vez al asesino en serie Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Sin una razón de peso, el agente especial Jack Crawford no habría turbado la apacible existencia y el anonimato de Will Graham, el hombre que había conseguido desenmascarar al psicópata doctor Lecter, más conocido en los medios de comunicación como Hannibal el Caníbal. En efecto, las circunstancias que rodean los asesinatos de dos familias en Birmingham y en Atlanta convierten al investigador Graham en un hombre imprescindible para el equipo de detectives que investigan el perfil psicológico del monstruo, el Dragón Rojo, y las horribles mutilaciones que inflige a sus víctimas.

Jaws

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The shark-versus-man classic that inspired the blockbuster Steven Spielberg movie—now in a fiftieth anniversary edition with an exclusive foreword from the author’s wife, renowned ocean conservation advocate Wendy Benchley “A tightly written, tautly paced study of terror.”—The Washington Post A great white shark terrorizes the beautiful summer getaway of Amity Island, and a motley group of men take to the water to do battle with the beast. A heart-pounding novel of suspense and a brilliant meditation on the nature of humanity, Jaws is one of the most iconic thrillers ever written. In addition to Wendy Benchley’s foreword, this edition features bonus content from Peter Benchley’s archives, including the manuscript’s original typed title page, a brainstorming list of possible titles, a letter from Benchley to film producer David Brown with candid feedback on the movie adaptation, and excerpts from Benchley’s book Shark Trouble, highlighting his firsthand account of writing Jaws, selling it to Universal Studios, and working with Steven Spielberg. After writing Jaws in the early 1970s, Peter Benchley was actively engaged with scientists and filmmakers, and over the ensuing decades, joined many expeditions around the world as they expanded their knowledge of sharks and shark behavior. He encouraged each new generation of Jaws fans to enjoy his riveting tale and to channel their excitement into support and protection of these magnificent prehistoric apex predators.

From a Buick 8

Come close, children, and see the living crocodile. A vintage '54 Buick Roadmaster. At least, that's what it looks like . . . There is a secret hidden in Shed B in the state police barracks in Statler, Pennsylvania. A secret that has drawn troopers for twenty years - terrified yet irresistibly tempted to look at its chrome fenders, silver grille and exotic exhaust system. Young Ned Wilcox has started coming by the barracks: mowing the lawn, washing the windows, shovelling snow; it's a boy's way of holding on to his father - recently killed in a strange road accident by another Buick. And one day Ned peers through the windows of Shed B and discovers the family secret. Like his father, Ned wants answers. He deserves answers. And the secret begins to stir . . .
