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. . . .
Ein Club. Ein grausames Spiel.
Auf einer Müllhalde wird die Leiche einer jungen Frau gefunden: enthauptet, der Körper brutal zugerichtet und gebrandmarkt wie ein Stück Vieh. Staatsanwältin CJ Townsend ist alarmiert, als sie das Brandmal sieht: ein Blitz in einem Kreis, eindeutig die Handschrift eines Clubs, der vor einigen Jahren ganz Florida in Angst und Schrecken versetzte. CJ weiß alles über die perversen Inszenierungen des Clubs, von den Teilnehmern 'das Spiel' genannt. Und sie kennt die Namen der Mitglieder, allesamt zu reich und einflussreich, um jemals von der Justiz belangt zu werden. Wenn sie weitere Morde verhindern will, muss sie das Gesetz in die eigenen Hände nehmen ...
¿Cómo atrapas a un asesino cuando tú eres el principal sospechoso?
Escucha ahora la cuarta entrega de la serie, donde el atormentado detective Harry Hole tendrá que cruzar la línea que separa lo legal de lo ilegal para resolver unos crímenes que no son lo que en un principio parecían.
Las cámaras de seguridad de un banco captan cómo un atracador dispara a bocajarro a la cajera tras un extraño intercambio de palabras. El detective Harry Hole se hará cargo de la investigación, con la ayuda de Beate Lonn, una de las investigadoras más desconcertantes del cuerpo de policía, capaz de identificar rasgos faciales mucho más rápido que cualquier programa informático, pero incapaz de moverse en sociedad.
Todas las pesquisas remiten a Raskol Baxhet, un legendario atracador. Sin embargo, es imposible que sea el culpable porque cumple condena en prisión. Y, mientras los atracos se suceden cada vez con más virulencia, Harry se mete en líos. Una mañana amanece en su piso con una resaca horrible que le hace revivir viejos temores. La noche anterior había quedado con una antigua novia que aparece muerta. Él es el principal sospechoso, a menos que logre aclarar qué ha hecho durante esas últimas horas de las que no recuerda nada.
¿Hay alguien dispuesto a tenderle una trampa y culparle de la muerte de Anna?
La mejor novela negra en formato audiolibro.
Críticas:
«Una historia de venganza con infinidad de giros y con suficiente humanidad para no llegar al desquiciamiento. Una obra maestra.»
Time Out
«Un ritmo diabólico [...]. Varios giros argumentales sin duda espectaculares y un final de escalofrío. Altamente recomendable.»
The Guardian
«Nesbø ha fabricado un policía fascinante. Posiblemente el mejor de los últimos tiempos. Tan justo, enfermizamente justo, como imperfecto. Un lobo estepario. Repleto de aristas y defectos. Humano hasta el cansancio.»

Ein Club. Ein grausames Spiel. Eine Frau, die zurückschlägt: Auf einer Müllkippe in Florida wird die Leiche einer jungen Frau aufgefunden: enthauptet, der Körper brutal zugerichtet und gebrandmarkt wie ein Stück Vieh. CJ Townsend, vor Kurzem als Staatsanwältin nach Miami zurückgekehrt, ist alarmiert, als sie das Brandmal auf der Schulter der Toten sieht: ein Blitz in einem Kreis, eindeutig die Handschrift eines Clubs, der bereits vor einigen Jahren ganz Florida in Angst und Schrecken versetzte. CJ weiß alles über die perversen Inszenierungen des Clubs, die von den Teilnehmern 'das Spiel' genannt werden. Und sie kennt die Namen der Mitglieder, allesamt zu reich und einflussreich, um jemals von der Justiz belangt zu werden.

Gripping and surprising, Nemesis is a nail-biting thriller from one of the biggest stars in crime fiction.
Grainy closed-circuit television footage shows a man walking into an Oslo bank and putting a gun to a cashier's head. He tells the young woman to count to twenty-five. When the robber doesn't get his money in time, the cashier is executed, and two million Norwegian kroner disappear without a trace. Police Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case.
While Hole's girlfriend is away in Russia, an old flame decides to get in touch. Former girlfriend and struggling artist Anna Bethsen invites Hole to dinner, and he can't resist a visit. But the evening ends in an all too familiar way as Hole awakens with a thundering headache, a missing cell phone, and no memory of the past twelve hours. That same morning, Anna is found shot dead in her bed. Hole begins to receive threatening e-mails. Is someone trying to frame him for this unexplained death? Meanwhile, the bank robberies continue with unparalleled savagery.
As the death toll continues to mount, Hole becomes a prime suspect in a criminal investigation led by his longtime adversary Tom Waaler and Waaler's vigilante police force. Racing from the cool, autumnal streets of Oslo to the steaming villages of Brazil, Hole is determined to absolve himself of suspicion by uncovering all the information needed to crack both cases. But the ever-threatening Waaler is not finished with his old archenemy quite yet.
*Edgar Nominee for Best Novel of the Year
In his bestselling legal thrillers, William Bernhardt has explored the dark side of contemporary politics, power, and the law. Now Bernhardt turns back the clock to the city of Cleveland, Ohio, in the fall of 1935. Based on true events and new discoveries about Eliot Ness, Nemesis is a brilliantly told story featuring this legendary lawman's fateful duel with a terrifyingly new kind of criminal: America's first serial killer.
In Chicago, Eliot Ness had created "the Untouchables," the fabled team of federal agents who were beyond corruption and who finally put Al Capone behind bars. The headline-grabbing Ness has now been moved to Cleveland, where a new mayor desperately needs some positive publicity. The heroic, squeaky-clean Fed is the perfect man to become the city's director of public safety, but by the time Ness starts his new job, a killer has started a career of his own. And this man is as obsessed with blood and mayhem as Eliot Ness is obsessed with justice.
Though it's not his turf, Ness is forced to cross bureaucratic boundaries and take over the case, working with a dogged, street-smart detective and making enemies every step of the way. The more energy Ness pours into the investigation, the more it takes over his life, his marriage, even his untouchable reputation. Because in Cleveland, there is only one true untouchable: a killer who has the perfect hiding place and the perfect plan for destroying Eliot Ness.
When Special Agent Lacey Sherlock foils a terrorist attack at JFK Airport, she thinks her job is done and turns the reins over to the New York FBI. But stopping the grenade-carrying crazy at the airport was only the beginning, as another plot unfolds soon after at St. Patrick's Cathedral, where a bomb threat sets off a major panic in midtown Manhattan. When the terrorist at JFK refuses to speak to anyone but Sherlock, she heads back with counter-terrorist Special Agent Cal McLain to try to get him to talk. What she learns is terrifying.
Meanwhile, Dillon Savich-with the help of Agent Griffin Hammersmith-has his hands full trying to track a killer who uses others to unwittingly do his bidding. But a mistake draws Savich to a house of Wiccans, and he knows one of them is the puppet master. But which one? When there are attempts on his life and Hammersmith's, he knows he has to figure this out fast, but how?
Who is really behind the bombing attacks at JFK and St. Patrick's? Terrorists? Or does it go much deeper?
Both Savich and Sherlock race against the clock, as more lives are in danger and only they can halt the madness.
And just who is the Nemesis?
In the high summer of 77 AD, Roman informer Marcus Didius Falco is beset by personal problems. A middle-aged couple who supplied statues to his father have disappeared. They had an old feud with a bunch of notorious freedmen, the Claudii, who terrorize the neighborhood. When a mutilated corpse turns up, Falco and his friend Petronius investigate. But just as they are making progress, the Chief Spy, Anacrites, snatches the case away. He makes false overtures of friendship, but fails to cover up the fact that the Claudii have acquired corrupt protection at the highest level. Falco and Petronius dig deeper while the shocking truth creeps closer and closer to home.
“With its tricky, suspenseful plot, this entry deserves to join its immediate predecessor on bestseller lists.”--Publishers Weekly
