El autor de Z, la ciudad perdida, David Grann, regresa con un emocionante True Crime que desvela una de las…
conspiraciones más monstruosas de la historia de Estados Unidos. Best Seller de The New York Times, mejor libro del 2017 según Amazon y Ganador del Edgar Allan Poe Award al Best Fact Crime. En los años veinte, la comunidad india de los Osage en Oklahoma era la población de mayor renta per cápita del mundo. El petróleo que yacía bajo sus propiedades les convirtió en millonarios: construyeron mansiones, tenían chóferes privados y mandaban a sus hijos a estudiar a Europa. Pero un espiral de violencia asoló esta comunidad indígena cuando sus miembros empezaron a morir y a desaparecer en extrañas circunstancias. La familia de una mujer Osage, Mollie Burkhart, se convirtió en un objetivo principal. Sus tres hermanas fueron asesinadas. Una fue envenenada, otra murió a tiros y la tercera falleció en una explosión. Otros miembros de la los Osage morían en circunstancias misteriosas, y muchos de los que se atrevieron a investigar los crímenes fueron también asesinados. Cuando el número de muertos alcanzó los veinticuatro, el recién inaugurado FBI decidió intervenir y fue uno de sus primeros grandes casos de homicidio. Después de que la investigación resultara un desastre, el joven director J. Edgar Hoover acudió al antiguo comandante de Texas, Tom White, para que desvelase el misterio. White estableció un equipo infiltrado, incluyendo a un agente nativo en el grupo. En este apasionante true crime, que Martin Scorsese y Leonardo DiCaprio llevarán a la gran pantalla, se revelan nuevos secretos de una de las conspiraciones más siniestras contra la comunidad indígena de Estados Unidos. Como ya hizo en Z, la ciudad perdida, Grann se sumerge en una profunda y exhaustiva investigación para desvelar uno de los episodios más oscuros y despiadados de la Historia norteamericana. La crítica ha dicho:«Los asesinos de la luna es un libro magnífico, una cautivadora historia real de avaricia, asesinatos en serie e injusticia racial [...]. David Grann es un periodista extraordinario, y esta obra es quizá lo mejor que ha escrito.»Jon Krakauer «Perturbador y fascinante [...] abrasará tu alma.»Dave Eggers, The New York Times Book Review «Un trabajo magistral de periodismo literario.»The Boston Globe «La historia criminal que cuenta es atroz y repleta de héroes y villanos reales. Hará que te estremezcas ante la inhumanidad del hombre hacia sus congéneres.»Dwight Garner, The New York Times «Una historia increíble, emocionante e imposible de dejar, escrita por una autor cuyos misterios basados en hechos reales siempre van más allá de lo que el lector se espera.»The Paris Review «Como un maestro de la historia detectivesca, Grann sabe guardarse lo mejor para el final. Es ahí donde su investigación meticulosa, paciente y detallada finalmente penetra la neblina de mentiras y pruebas comprometedoras para llegar al sólido territorio de la verdad.»The Wall Street JournalPar The Editors of LIFE. 2019

When Rahmat Sulemani reported his girlfriend Banaz missing, it quickly became clear to DCI Caroline Goode that something was very…
wrong. In fact, Banaz had contacted her local police station multiple times before, even listing the names of the men she expected to murder her in a so-called 'honour' killing. Her parents didn't seem worried, but Banaz had already accused them of being part of the plot.DCI Goode's team took on the investigation before they even had proof that a murder had taken place. What emerged was a shocking story of betrayal and a community-wide web of lies, which would take the team from suburban south London to the mountain ranges of Kurdistan, making covert recordings and piecing together cell phone data to finally bring the killers to justice.Par Mi-Ae Seo. 2020

Desde la misteriosa muerte de su madre, la niña vivía con sus abuelos, pero estos acaban de morir en un incendio inexplicable. Seon-gyeong se ha propuesto que la niña se sienta como en casa, sin embargo, le cuesta conseguirlo: apenas habla y actúa de forma extraña.

Seon-gyeong tendrá que averiguar quién es la posible víctima en todo ese asunto antes de que sea demasiado tarde. La crítica ha dicho...«Saludemos a los herederos de los nórdicos: en Corea han reinventado el thriller.»The Guardian «Con fría precisión, Seo nos ofrece un retrato, tan perturbador como fascinante, del asesino en serie de la próxima generación.»Kirkus «Un espeluznante thriller psicológico. Seo va tejiendo una red narrativa cada vez más tensa que culmina en un clímax doblemente impactante. Muestra del talento de la autora es la capacidad que tiene para encontrar vestigios de humanidad en un despiadado asesino. Los fans de la serie de Netflix Mindhunter se sentirán como en casa.»Publishers Weekly «Una lectura impresionante y escalofriante.»Josh Malerman, autor de Bird Box: a ciegasPar Ibi Zoboi, Yusef Salaam. 1989

But local leaders have reason to resist a shift to temperance over alcohol.Jussi, the young Sami boy Læstadius has rescued from destitution and abuse, becomes the preacher's faithful disciple on long botanical treks to explore the flora and fauna. Læstadius also teaches him to read and write - and to love and fear God. When a milkmaid goes missing deep in the forest, the locals suspect a predatory bear is at large. A second girl is attacked, and the sheriff is quick to offer a reward for the bear's capture.
