[Spanish] - Entre las sombras: Un thriller policíaco del inspector Alan Banks

"Alguien espía desde los tejados y a través de las ventanas, alguien se inmiscuye en la vida íntima de unas mujeres que ni lo sospechan. Lo que excita a este voyeur no es sólo entrever la carne desnuda, sino también encontrarse con la mirada de horror de sus víctimas cuando descubren su presencia entre las sombras. Una mujer mayor aparece brutalmente asesinada en su casa. El inspector Banks se pregunta si se trata de un incidente aislado, o si acaso está relacionado con los otros crímenes que han venido sucediendo en el pueblito de Gallows View. Y mejor será que no tarde en contestar, porque la violencia podría vulnerar incluso su propia vida personal. 'Si aún no te habías topado con el inspector Banks, prepárate para un curso intensivo en tensión, de una psicología sutil.' - Ian Rankin 'Entre las sombras ofrece todo el suspense que se pueda esperar, además de unas cuantas sorpresas.' - The Toronto Star 'El Camaleón es una auténtica novela negra moderna y cautivadora.' - Bookseller 'Petrificante, evocativa, una obra de arte de profundos matices.' - Dennis Lehane 'El inspector Banks sabe que a menudo las respuestas a los interrogantes que intenta resolver pueden encontrarse en lo más profundo de la propia alma.' - Michael Connelly 'Una novela tan vívida que quemará los dedos incluso a los detractores de los thrillers más programáticos.' - People 'El talento de Robinson... le permiten otorgar a Banks una mente ágil y una presencia fuerte en el relato al tiempo que, gracias a la variedad de sus registros, cada personaje secundario cobra una individualidad tenaz.' - New York Times Books Review 'Excepcional' – The Washington Post"

Seven Years

"A gripping novella from the New York Times bestselling author of the Inspector Banks Mysteries and a “master of the art” (Boston Globe) Retired Cambridge professor Donald Aitcheson loves scouring antiquarian bookshops for secondhand treasures—as much as he loathes the scribbled marginalia from their previous owners. But when he comes upon an inscription in a volume of Robert Browning’s poetry, he’s less irritated than disturbed. This wasn’t a gift to an unwitting woman. It was a threat—insidious, suggestively sick, and terribly intriguing. Now Aitcheson’s imagination is running wild. Was it a sordid teacher-pupil affair that ended in betrayal? A scorned lover’s first salvo in a campaign of terror? The taunt of an obsessive psychopath? Then again, it could be nothing more than a tasteless joke between friends. As his curiosity gets the better of him, Aitcheson can’t resist playing detective. But when his investigation leads to a remote girls’ boarding school in the Lincolnshire flatlands, and into the confidence of its headmistress, he soon discovers the consequences of reading between the lines."
