GREENWOOD sets a cat among the pigeons at an isolated cabin... What qualifies a mystery as a Malice Domestic mystery? "'Malice' is self-explanatory, I trust," writes the acclaimed Elizabeth Peters in her introduction to this outstanding collection. "'Domestic' distinguishes the personal and private aspects of crime from the public and impersonal. Our murderers don't kill for the fun of it (serial killers) or for a misguided ideal (assassins and terrorists) or for pay (hired hit men). They only do in people they know and love (or hate)." Gathered in homage to the most beloved crimewriter of all, Dame Agatha Christie, MALICE DOMESTIC 1 presents today's best mystery writers at the top of their form.Seduciendo a una dama (Los Preston #Volumen 5)

Aunque ya no seas una estrella..., siempre hay una última esperanza para brillar. Brisa es una de las celebrities más…
afamadas del mundo de la tele. Sin embargo, está encasillada en un personaje que no la deja avanzar profesionalmente. Los contratos han ido disminuyendo con el tiempo, y las revistas y los cotilleos no la han ayudado nada a mejorar la situación. Por otro lado, Mirco Mancini es la nueva sensación de Hollywood, una estrella incipiente a la que le ha costado llegar donde está. Rodar una película basada en el viejo Oeste será la oportunidad de relanzar la carrera de ella y de convertirse en un erudito de la actuación para el otro.Cadáver exquisito (Mapa de las lenguas #Volumen)
Par Agustina Bazterrica. 2017
Premio Clarín de Novela, Ladies of Horror Fiction Award, uno de los mejores libros de ciencia ficción, fantasía o terror…
del 2020 según The Washington Post y finalista de los Goodreads Choice Awards Con más de 200.000 lectores en todo el mundo, traducido a 23 idiomas y derechos audiovisuales vendidos Una despiadada distopía en la que Agustina Bazterrica inspira, con el poder explosivo de la ficción, debates de suma actualidad La súbita aparición de un virus letal que ataca a los animales modifica de manera irreversible el mundo: desde las fieras hasta las mascotas deben ser sistemáticamente sacrificadas, y su carne ya no puede ser consumida. Los gobiernos enfrentan la situación con una decisión drástica: legalizando la cría, reproducción, matanza y procesamiento de carne humana. El canibalismo es ley y la sociedad ha quedado dividida en dos grupos: los que comen y los que son comidos. Marcos Tejo, encargado general del frigorífico Krieg, separado de su esposa y a cargo de su padre, es un oscuro burócrata. El día en que recibe como regalo una mujer criada para el consumo, las tentaciones lo transforman en una conciencia peligrosa de pliegues truculentos que lo llevará a transgredir las nuevas normas hasta límites que la sociedad desconoce. ¿Qué resto de humanidad cabe cuando los muertos son cremados para evitar su consumo? ¿Quién es el otro si, de verdad, somos lo que comemos? Reseña:«Novela mayor, cuya acción transcurre en el interior de una atmósfera densa e hipnótica en la que el lector queda atrapado desde las primeras líneas como si fuera uno de sus personajes».Juan José Millás «Horriblemente eficaz. […] Esta provocativa novela maneja con maestría un cuchillo de doble filo».The Guardian«Desde las primeras palabras de la segunda novela de la novelista argentina Agustina Bazterrica, Cadáver exquisito, el lector ya es el ganado de la fila, tambaleándose, primordialmente consciente de que este libro es una carnicería, y nada de lo que suceda a continuación va a ser bonito».New York Times Book Review «¿A qué precio es viable un mundo sin animales? Esa es la pregunta que se hace la autora argentina Agustina Bazterrica. [...] Con un arte perfectamente calibrado con la ironía, [ella] presenta un asombroso retrato de una humanidad dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa para satisfacerse, incluso a expensas de sí misma».Le Monde «Una expresión mordaz y sin concesiones de lo que ocurre a diario en nuestra sociedad».La Nación «Con un lenguaje directo y despojado, Cadáver exquisito incursiona en los mecanismos siniestros de una sociedad distópica y caníbal. Las imágenes, tanto repulsivas como fascinantes, recuerdan por momentos a los cuadros violentos de Francis Bacon. La novela rodea al lector con una sensación de amenaza al volver visibles algunas prácticas oscuras y normalizadas de la vida actual».Pedro Mairal «Escrita con lenguaje minimalista, de alta precisión, Cadáver exquisito es una fábula impactante sobre la crueldad entre los seres humanos, aunque no desprovista de poesía».Clarín «Punzante historia caníbal. [...] Hay una verbalización incisiva e impiadosa de lo que sucede en la sociedad [...]. No hay eufemismos en Cadáver exquisito».Mª José R. Murguiondo, La Nación«Bazterrica delinea un lenguaje dúctil, universal; capaz de condensar el terror, el drama, la empatía y la desesperanza».Marvel Aguilera, Revista KunstThere&’s nowhere safe to hidethis holiday season.When Lacey Phillips tracks down Captain Wade Spencer on Christmas Eve looking for answers…

ÉPOCA MÁS MÁGICA DEL AÑO. Para sacar a Lovelight Farms de la ruina, Stella Bloom tendrá que aliarse con su mejor amigo, Luke Peters, y fingir que tienen una relación para ganar un premio que salve su negocio. Hay muchos motivos por los que Lovelight Farms ya no es el paraíso invernal con el que Stella Bloom soñaba: los abetos marchitos, el establo de Papá Noel conquistado por mapaches, mercancías extraviadas, una deuda tremenda... Para intentar salvarlo, Stella se presenta a un concurso. Pero hay un problema: intentando pintar Lovelight como un destino para vacaciones en pareja, Stella dijo que lo llevaba con su novio. Y no tiene. A quien sí tiene es a Luke Peters, su mejor amigo, que de repente se ve con un negocio a su nombre y, de paso, con una relación falsa. No obstante, fingir que está enamorado de Stella le resulta fácil, y puede que el destino le haya hecho el mejor regalo de Navidad posible...
