Crime and mystery: police procedural
Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Flores sobre el infierno / Flowers over the Inferno
Book SynopsisTras Dicker, D'Andrea y Lemaitre, Alfaguara Negra presenta el debut del año: Flores sobre el infierno de Ilaria Tuti, el thriller tiene nombre de mujer.El primer cadáver es el de un hombre desnudo, con la cara desfigurada y los ojos arrancados. Algo aterrador está ocurriendo en las montañas: un recién nacido ha desaparecido y una sombra misteriosa vaga por los bosques. El caso requiere de todas las habilidades de Teresa Battaglia, comisaria de policía especializada en perfiles criminales que, todos los días, camina sobre el infierno. Su mejor arma es la mente, pero últimamente la está engañando; su lucidez está en riesgo y la investigación, por tanto, también. Por primera vez en su vida, tiene miedo.Teresa y el joven inspector Massimo Marini, llegado desde hace poco de la ciudad a este enclave montañoso, deberán llevar a cabo la investigación más difícil a la que se han enfrentado jamás: un caso que hunde sus raíces en los episodios más oscuros y estremecedores de la historia de este rincón milenario del norte de Italia: un infierno que aún sigue latiendo.Reseñas:Italia tiene por fin a su reina del thriller.Sandrone DazieriUna de las revelaciones del año.Ida Bozzi, Il Corriere della SeraUna apuesta noir en femenino que ya es todo un fenómeno editorial.Claudia Morgoglione, La RepubblicaUn thriller adictivo hasta el final.Arianna Boria, Il PiccoloMagistralmente construido y con una trama perfecta.Fabrizio d'Esposito, Il Fatto QuotidianoTeresa Battaglia es una detective atípica: fea, gruñona, diabética: irresistible.Gianluca Ferraris, Donna ModernaUna novela con todos los elementos más clásicos y apasionantes del género thriller: niños, nieve, culpas inconfesables, vidas dobles e inescrutables.L'EspressoUn thriller de altura. Una vez más, los caminos del noir italiano parecen infinitos.Sergio Pent, La StampaUn thriller que penetra los pliegues del alma humana. Una autora que habrá que seguir con atención.Marta Cervino, Marie ClaireLa leí en tres horas febriles en mi oficina. Me llevó unas treinta páginas saber que tenía algo especial en mis manos. No podía recordar la última vez que había leído algo tan impactante, tan original y que conseguía ser divertido pese a los horrendos crímenes que escenificaba.Federico Andornino, editor de Weidenfeld & NicolsonTiene absolutamente todo lo que me cautiva en un thriller.Lisa Kraemer, editora de Penguin VerlagMe enamoré de la comisaria con sobrepeso (que además está perdiendo la memoria) Teresa y de su joven y recién llegado colega Massimo. El estilo de escritura eficaz y el final de la novela extremadamente original. No puedo esperar para encontrarme de nuevo con Teresa y Massimo!Alexandra van Dam Merrett, editora Xander UitgeversSu detective Battaglia tiene todo lo que nos encanta en un personaje: carisma, determinación e instinto, pero también defectos y debilidades. A diferencia de muchos personajes femeninos actuales en la ficción criminal, es aceptada tal como es: una persona compleja que no es solo "una mujer en un mundo de hombres". Y eso nos encanta.Glenn Tavennec, editor de La Bête NoireIlaria Tuti se ha establecido de inmediato no solo como una nueva estrella del thriller italiano, sino especialmente como un ejemplo a seguir.Verdiana Bixio, presidenta de PublispeiIlaria Tuti es una artista versátil: autora, ilustradora... He tenido ocasión de apreciar sus dotes artísticas en varias ocasiones, pero ha sido sobre todo su calidad humana la que me ha impresionado.Bruno Elpis, MilanoNera

Book SynopsisAt first glance, it appears to be an accident . . .A car carrying an elderly couple goes off the side of a mountain and tumbles into oblivion on a beautiful sunny day in the Coronado National Monument.

And miles away in the desert, a savage rain has revealed something grisly and terrifying: two trash bags filled with human remains.It''s just another day in the life of Cochise County sheriff Joanna Brady, who must somehow balance the rigors of police work with a newborn, a teenager, a writer-husband, and a difficult mother.

Jance should win new fans with this one.” — Publishers Weekly on Sins of the Fathers “J. A. does an outstanding job of delivering a very emotional book, wrapped up within a mystery that keeps the reader on edge to the very end.” — Suspense Magazine on Sins of the Fathers “J. A. Jance is one of the best at combining mystery and family dynamics. J. P.

Rather, he becomes human, with all the temptations, missteps, failures, and ultimately successes, large and small, that most share.” — New York Journal of Books on Sins of the Fathers “Fans of police procedurals with a Southwestern flair will love Joanna’s determination to manage marriage, motherhood, and policing in this 19th Joanna Brady book.” — Library Journal on Missing and Endangered “The two parallel cases provide plenty of action, while keeping a premium on character studies and violence to a minimum. Once again, the compassionate, intelligent Joanna balances a busy home life and a complex job with aplomb.

Book Synopsis In this captivating crime novel (People), Texas Ranger Darren Mathews is on the hunt for a missing child -- but it''s the boy''s family of white supremacists who are his real target. 9-year-old Levi King knew he should have left for home sooner; now he''s alone in the darkness of vast Caddo Lake, in a boat whose motor just died. A sudden noise distracts him - and all goes dark.Darren Mathews is trying to emerge from another kind of darkness; after the events of his previous investigation, his marriage is in a precarious state of re-building, and his career and reputation lie in the hands of his mother, who''s never exactly had his best interests at heart. Now she holds the key to his freedom, and she''s not above a little maternal blackmail to press her advantage. An unlikely possibility of rescue arrives in the form of a case down Highway 59, in a small lakeside town where the local economy thrives on nostalgia for ante-bellum Texas - and some of the era''s racial attitudes still thrive as well. Levi''s disappearance has links to Darren''s last case, and to a wealthy businesswoman, the boy''s grandmother, who seems more concerned about the fate of her business than that of her grandson. Darren has to battle centuries-old suspicions and prejudices, as well as threats that have been reignited in the current political climate, as he races to find the boy, and to save himself.
