When you kick over a rock, you never know what's going to crawl out.    Alex Velesky is about to discover that the hard way. He's stolen records from the Swiss bank that employs him, thinking that he'll uncover a criminal conspiracy. But he soon finds that he's tapped into the mother lode of corruption. Before he knows it, he's being hunted by everyone from the Russian mafia to the CIA.    Court Gentry and his erstwhile lover, Zoya Zakharova, find themselves on opposites poles when it comes to Velesky. They both want him but for different reasons.    That's a problem for tomorrow. Today they need to keep him and themselves alive. Right now, it's not looking good.

In February 1986, the Halland police receive a call from a man who claims to have attacked his first victim. I’m going to do it again, he says before the line cuts off. By the time police officer Sven Jörgensson reaches the crime scene, the woman is taking her last breath. For Sven, this will prove a decisive moment. On the same night, Sweden plunges into a state of shock after the murder of the prime minister. Could there possibly be a connection? As Sven becomes obsessed with the case, two more fall victim. For years, Sven remains haunted by the murders he cannot solve, fearing the killer will strike again. Having failed to catch him, Sven retires from the police, passing his obsession to his son, who has joined the force to be closer to his father. Decades later, the case unexpectedly resurfaces when a novelist returns home to Halland amid a failed marriage and a sputtering career. The writer befriends the retired police officer, who helps the novelist—our narrator—unspool the many strands of this engrossing tale about a community confronting its shames and legacies.

Los mejores libros jamás escritos. El presente volumen recoge las cuatro novelas protagonizadas por Sherlock Holmes, el emblemático y perspicaz detective del 221 B de Baker Street: Estudio en escarlata (1887), El signo de los cuatro (1890), El perro de los Baskerville (1902) y El valle del miedo (1915). A lo largo de estas páginas, y con la ayuda inestimable del doctor Watson, Holmes recorrerá las calles de un Londres victoriano convertido en un laberinto de pistas falsas, resolverá una intriga originada en la India colonial, desentrañará el misterio oculto tras una antigua maldición familiar en los páramos de Dartmoor y se enfrentará a la organización de Moriarty en uno de sus casos más complejos. Una mezcla explosiva de crimen, suspense y venganza.Esta edición, que se abre con un estudio introductorio de Andreu Jaume, pretende homenajear el empeño editorial de Esther Tusquets, cuyo proyecto de publicar el canon holmesiano quedó interrumpido. Juan Camargo, experto en novela de masas europea y americana, ha completado la labor traductora.«No existe ni ha existido hombre alguno que aportara al descubrimiento del crimen tantos estudios y tanto talento natural como yo.»

Junto con Esquilo y Sófocles, los otros dos grandes trágicos de la Grecia clásica, Eurípides (484-407 a.C.) contribuyó a elevar el género teatral hasta las más altas cimas de la perfección estética y a plantear los conflictos morales más permanentes y profundos de la condición humana. De las noventa y dos piezas atribuidas a su genio, sólo diecinueve han llegado hasta nosotros. Las tres tragedias agrupadas en este volumen -"Alcestis", "Medea", "Hipólito"- cuentan entre las más significativas y reputadas de su obra. Traducción e introducción Antonio Guzmán Guerra
