21st Birthday: (Women’s Murder Club 21)

Brought to you by Penguin. In the latest book in the globally bestselling Women's Murder Club series, Sergeant Lindsay Boxer vows to protect a twenty-year-old victim long enough for her to see her twenty-first birthday. When a distraught mother pleads with San Francisco Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas to investigate the disappearance of her daughter Tara and baby granddaughter Lorrie, Cindy immediately loops in SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer. The prime suspect is Tara's schoolteacher husband, Lucas Burke, but he tells a conflicting story that paints Tara as a wayward wife, not a missing person. While the city's chief medical examiner, Claire Washburn, harbours theories that run counter to the police investigation of the Burke case, Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano sizes up Lucas as a textbook domestic offender - until he puts forward a theory of his own that could connect the dots on a constellation of killings. As the case grows into something far bigger than any of them could have imagined, the four friends will need each other to help unpick the truth from a web of lies. © James Patterson 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

22/11/63

El 22 de noviembre de 1963 tres disparos resonaron en Dallas. Murió el presidente Kennedy, y el mundo cambió. ¿Qué harías tú si pudieras impedirlo? En esta novela brillante, Stephen King acompaña al lector en un viaje maravilloso al pasado y en un intento de cambiar lo que pasó. Durante casi 900 páginas nos ofrece un impecable retrato social, político y cultural del final de los años cincuenta y principios de los sesenta; un mundo marcado por coches enormes, la figura de Elvis Presley y el humo de los cigarrillos flotando por todas partes. Todo empieza con Jake Epping, profesor de inglés en el instituto de Lisbon Falls, Maine, que se gana un sueldo extra con clases nocturnas para adultos. Un día pide a sus estudiantes que escriban sobre un acontecimiento que les haya cambiado la vida, y una de esas redacciones le impacta profundamente: la historia cruenta de una noche de hace cincuenta años cuando el padre de Harry Dunningvolvió a casa para matar a su madre, hermano y hermana con un martillo. Al leer esta redacción algo transforma a Jake; su vida, igual que aquel día de 1963 en Dallas, cambia por completo en tan solo un instante. Poco después su amigo Al, propietario de un diner en su barrio, le descubre un secreto: en el almacén hay una puerta que conduce al pasado, a un día en particular del año 1958. Y Al le pide a Jake que le ayude con una misión que le obsesiona: impedir el asesinato de Kennedy. Y así comienza la nueva vida de Jake como George Amberson, en un mundo muy diferente. En él, George se enamorará mientras sigue el rastro de Lee Harvey Oswald hacia un momento histórico que quizá ahora nunca se produzca. Un viaje al pasado nunca ha sido tan creíble, ni tan terrorífico... La crítica ha dicho... «Una novela magistral.» Iván de la Nuez, Babelia, El País «Con 22/11/63 King vuelve a sus inicios, a lo más alto. A dar -nunca mejor dicho- en el blanco.» Rodrigo Fresán, ABC Cultural «Nos encontramos ante el mejor King... Tan impactante como sus primeros títulos.» Lluís Fernández, La Razón

222 patitos y otros cuentos

'Falco inventa peripecias imaginativas, originales, incluso inverosímiles. Con otra escritura, sus relatos podrían ser incorporados a lo que suele llamar género fantástico. También podría decirse que son fantásticos, pero que no están escritos según las reglas de ese género. Entonces, ¿qué son? Relatos en sordina de lo siniestro o lo inesperado, de lo impensable o, por lo menos, de lo infrecuente.' Beatriz Sarlo Un niño roba la ofrenda que la chica que le gusta le hizo a la Virgen para que su hermanito se curara. Un pueblo se para expectante en una plaza ante un hombrecito que quema un Ave Fénix con la promesa de hacerla revivir de las cenizas. Un matrimonio busca consuelo en otras mascotas luego de la muerte de su amada perra Beba, pero nada es igual. Una madre le cuenta a sus hijos, ya grandes, que cuando joven intentó suicidarse tragando una bola de cabecitas de fósforos. Directos, secos e inquietantes, los cuentos de Federico Falco relatan historias en apariencia pequeñas y apacibles, en las que los personajes parecen no tener nada particular, pero que bajo la mirada de Falco se revelan inmersos en una rara mezcla de ingenuidad y oscuridad, siempre al borde de lo perverso, la locura o la resignación.

When vampire hunter Laura Caxton is locked up in a maximum-security prison, the cop-turned-con finds herself surrounded by countless murderers and death-row inmates with nothing to lose and plenty of time to kill. Caxton's always been able to watch her own back-even when it's against a cell-block wall. But soon she learns that an even greater threat has slithered behind the bars to join her. Justinia Malvern, the world's oldest living vampire, has taken up residence, and her strength grows by the moment as she raids the inmate population like an all-you-can-drink open bar of fresh blood. The crafty old vampire knows just how to pull Caxton's strings, too, and she's issued an ultimatum that Laura can't refuse. Now Laura has just 23 hours to fight her way through a gauntlet of vampires, cons, and killers. "Smooth….Wellington's deadpan humor enlivens the satirical goth-gore proceedings as Laura battles the half-dead and their evil leader. "-Publishers Weekly
