LA NOVELA MÁS LEÍDA EN MÉXICO EN 2018 Ganadora del XXI Premio Alfaguara de novela, adaptada a serie documental para la plataforma NETFLIX Todo lo que se narra en esta novela ocurrió así, todos sus personajes son personas de carne y hueso, y la historia, desentrañada con maestría e iluminada hasta sus últimos recovecos por una ingente tarea de documentación, es real. El 8 de diciembre de 2005 , al sur de Ciudad de México, la policía federal detiene a Israel Vallarta y a Florence Cassez y los acusa de secuestro e integración en banda criminal. Al día siguiente, a las 06:47 de la mañana, los canales de televisión Televisa y TV Azteca emiten en directo la entrada de los agentes federales en el rancho Las Chinitas, la liberación de tres rehenes y la detención de Israel y Florence. En los días siguientes, los detenidos sufrirán torturas, se les negarán sus derechos y la lista de acusaciones irá en aumento. Pero cuando los abogados defensores captan la inconsistencia entre los partes de detención, los vídeos de la emisión televisiva y la versión de sus defendidos, comienza una carrera contra el tiempo para sacar a la luz uno de los mayores montajes policiales de la historia de México, cuyo desarrollo hizo que se tambalearan los cimientos del gobierno de Felipe Calderón y culminó con un incidente diplomático entre México y Francia. Narración despiadada a la hora de mostrar los entresijos del poder, las raíces más hondas de la corrupción y su alcance, así como los embotados mecanismos de la justicia, Una novela criminal es también una valiente denuncia del coste social de las políticas que declaran la guerra al crimen sin poner freno a sus causas. El jurado ha premiado... «[...] un fascinante relato sin ficción del caso Cassez-Vallarta que durante años conmocionó a la sociedad mexicana y llegó a generar un incidente diplomático entre Francia y México. Rompiendo con todas las convenciones del género, el autor coloca al lector y a la realidad frente a frente, sin intermediarios. En esta historia, el narrador es tan solo el ojo que se pasea sobre los hechos y los ordena. Su mirada es la pregunta, aquí no hay respuestas, solo la perplejidad de lo real.» La crítica ha dicho... «Una novela apasionante y valiente que por desgracia no es ficción; un recuento excepcional del país que no deseamos ser pero seguimos siendo.» Jorge Zepeda Patterson, El País «Este es el periodismo comprometido que necesita México ahora mismo.Volpi [...] se atreve a describir los mimbres más sutiles de unas relaciones entre política, medios de comunicación y narcotráfico como nadie lo ha hecho antes, en una extraordinaria novela-reportaje titulada muy acertadamente como Una novela criminal.» Francisco Martínez Real, Diario 16

Una novela criminal, de Jorge Volpi, ganadora del XXI Premio Alfaguara de novela e inspiradora de un documental de cinco capítulos en NETFLIX. Todo lo que se narra en esta novela ocurrió así, todos sus personajes son personas de carne y hueso, y la historia, desentrañada con maestría e iluminada hasta sus últimos recovecos por una ingente tarea de documentación, es real. El 8 de diciembre de 2005, al sur de Ciudad de México, la policía federal detiene a Israel Vallarta y a Florence Cassez y los acusa de secuestro e integración en banda criminal. Al día siguiente, a las 06:47 de la mañana, los canales de televisión Televisa y TV Azteca emiten en directo la entrada de los agentes federales en el rancho Las Chinitas, la liberación de tres rehenes y la detención de Israel y Florence. En los días siguientes, los detenidos sufrirán torturas, se les negarán sus derechos y la lista de acusaciones irá en aumento. Pero cuando los abogados defensores captan la inconsistencia entre los partes de detención, los vídeos de la emisión televisiva y la versión de sus defendidos, comienza una carrera contra el tiempo para sacar a la luz uno de los mayores montajes policiales de la historia de México, cuyo desarrollo hizo que se tambalearan los cimientos del gobierno de Felipe Calderón y culminó con un incidente diplomático entre México y Francia.

En esta historia, el narrador es tan solo el ojo que se pasea sobre los hechos y los ordena. Su mirada es la pregunta, aquí no hay respuestas, solo la perplejidad de lo real.» ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book that inspired a five-chapters documentary series about the case, coming soon to NETFLIX. The jury has awarded "a fascinating story of the Cassez-Vallarta case," one that for many years, shocked Mexican society and generated a diplomatic disagreement between France and Mexico. "Breaking away from all the conventions known to this genre, the author places the reader face to face with reality, without any intermediaries. In this story, the narrator is simply an onlooker that analyzes the facts and puts them in order. His watchful eye is the question, but there are no answers here, only the perplexity of what is real." Everything that is narrated in this novel is exactly the way it happened, all its characters are real people, and the story, masterfully unraveled and illuminated to its very last corner by a great investigative task, is real. A ruthless narration when showing the intricacies of power, the deepest roots of corruption and its scope, just like the dull mechanisms of justice. Una novela criminal / A Criminal Novel is also a brave criticism of the social cost of policies set forth to declare war on crime without looking to put an end to its root causes.

En La Ronda , el premiado autor Francisco Bescós le pone una marcha más al género negro con una novela policial ambiciosa, repleta de giros y adrenalina. «Bescós te atrapa en un juego macabro del que no puedes salir. La Ronda es una novela formidable». Santiago Díaz «Uno de los autores más destacados de la novela negra española». Heraldo de Aragón Desde que empezó el año, se han descubierto en Madrid los cadáveres de varias personas ejecutadas misteriosamente. Parecen víctimas escogidas al azar, ya que las han hallado en lugares remotos de la capital. Sin embargo, hay dos investigadores pertenecientes a comisarías distintas que están empeñados en seguir, cada uno por su cuenta, las pocas pistas disponibles. Se trata de la inspectora Dulce O'Rourke, de personalidad explosiva pero insegura en su vida sentimental, y del inspector Juan Luis Seito, en apariencia apocado pero capaz de remover cielo y tierra si destapa un caso importante. Cuando llegan a la conclusión de que un mercenario de élite está rondando las calles de la ciudad, saltan todas las alarmas. Es alguien con mucha experiencia, acostumbrado a matar impunemente. Algo está pasando. Algo demasiado complicado. Y también demasiado grande. Algo que nadie, en ninguna parte del mundo, ha detectado hasta ahora. La crítica ha dicho: «Terminar bien una novela, cumpliendo expectativas, manteniendo la tensión, dejando al lector satisfecho que no empachado... es una de las piedras de toque de los grandes narradores, y Bescós lo ha hecho aquí magníficamente. Este libro es de lectura obligada para el lector de novela negra». Fernando Ariza, El Debate « La ronda dará que hablar durante buen rato y la leeremos con perspectiva porque será un clásico». Pedro Crenes Castro, La Prensa «Un libro cien por cien adictivo, con mucho nervio y grandes dosis de cinismo y de mala leche. [...] Traiciones, cuerpos especiales, venganzas y un juego macabro que no te dejan tiempo ni para respirar». Paranoia 68 « La ronda es un libro y muchos libros. Es cemento y fuegos artificiales. La ronda es pura adicción y, a la vez, un inteligentísimojuego que critica la constante necesidad de estímulos. [...]. Os reto a leerlo en más de dos días». Leticia Sánchez Ruiz «Nos hace experimentar la sensación de estar dentro de una siniestra muñeca matrioska que en cada giro de este magnífico thriller se abre para llevarnos a otra mucho más grande y perversa. [...] Francisco Bescós es unode los mejores escritores nacionales de novela negra y en La Ronda sigue demostrando su calidad literaria». Moritz García, MOON MAGAZINE «Excelente: [...] Paco Bescós ha roto los esquemas con La Ronda, una novela difícil de clasificar en la que la velocidad del thriller se mezcla con el noir clásico». J. Infante, J. M. Barasorda y O. B. de Otálora, El Correo « La ronda sorprende: [...] un thriller de acción cargado de adrenalina». Mr. Tom, Críticas Polares «Advertencia: La Ronda es perfecta lectura para desconectar de nuestras rutinas». Salva Robles, WixSite «Uningenioso artefacto que te pega a la página y al final estalla cual mascletà en vísperas de San José». Bel Carrasco, Zenda «Cuando compren la novela pídanse un par de días libres en el curro: [...] cuando la abran ya no podrán soltarlo hasta el final». Calibre 38 «Un mérito incalculable».

The human psyche, normally a fortress of strength, is most vulnerable when love dies. The emotionally chilling novellas in The End of Madness provide glimpses into the minds of people for whom love stopped existing.

THE LOCKET A fanaticism born of tragedy leads a popular minister on a bizarre crusade. A respected clergymans mind discovers the darkest corner of despair after his loving wife is tragically killed. Leroy Madisons ability to traverse opposing social structures enables him to perform an inner voices unthinkable mandate.

From acclaimed Colombian author Laura Restrepo comes a prize-winning novel inspired by a true crime that shattered a community and exposed the dark recesses of toxic masculinity and privilege. Immune to the consequences of immorality, five privileged young men in Bogotá bond over a shared code: worship drugs and drink, exploit women, and scorn the underclass. As males, they declare the right to freedom of pleasure. As friends, only disloyalty to each other is forbidden. When a little girl from the slums disappears, the limits of a perverse and sacred bond will be tested in ways none of them could have imagined. Hauntingly true, this daringly told work of fiction explores the tragic dynamic between genders, social classes, and victim and victimizer, and between five men whose intolerable transgressions will shake the conscience of a country.

A long-lost French novel in which three soldiers return home from an unpopular, unspeakable war When On Leave was published in Paris in 1957, as France's engagement in Algeria became ever more bloody, it told people things they did not want to hear. It vividly described what it was like for soldiers to return home from an unpopular war in a faraway place. The book received a handful of reviews, it was never reprinted, it disappeared from view. With no outcome to the war in sight, its power to disturb was too much to bear. Through David Bellos's translation, this lost classic has been rediscovered. Spare, forceful, and moving, it describes a week in the lives of a sergeant, a corporal, and an infantryman, each home on leave in Paris. What these soldiers have to say can't be heard, can't even be spoken; they find themselves strangers in their own city, unmoored from their lives. Full of sympathy and feeling, informed by the many hours Daniel Anselme spent talking to conscripts in Paris, On Leave is a timeless evocation of what the history books can never record: the shame and the terror felt by men returning home from war.

When she hears about the suicide of a Buenos Aires train driver who has left a note confessing to four mortal 'accidents' on the train tracks, journalist Veronica Rosenthal decides to investigate. For the police the case is closed (suicide is suicide), for Veronica it is the beginning of a journey that takes her into an unfamiliar world of grinding poverty, crime-infested neighborhoods, and train drivers on commuter lines haunted by the memory of bodies hit at speed by their locomotives in the middle of the night. Aided by a train driver with whom she has a tumultuous and reckless affair, a junkie in rehab and two street kids willing to risk everything for a can of Coke, she uncovers a group of men involved in betting on working-class youngsters convinced to play Russian roulette by standing in front of fast-coming trains to see who endures the longest.

"Since they shot her at point-blank range while she was being kissed, she confused the pain of love with that of death." Rosario Tijeras is the violent, violated character at the center of Jorge Franco's study of contrasts, set in self-destructing 1980s Medellín. Her very name-evoking the rosary, and scissors-bespeaks her conflict as a woman who becomes a contract killer to insulate herself from the random violence of the streets. Then she is shot, gravely wounded, and the circle of contradiction is closed. From the corridors of the hospital where Rosario is fighting for her life, Antonio, the narrator, waits to learn if she will recover. Through him, we reconstruct the friendship between the two, her love story with Emilio, and her life as a hitwoman. Rosario Tijeras has been recognized as an admirable continuation of a literary subject that was first treated by Gabriel García Márquez and then by Fernando Vallejo. A work in the Latin American social realist tradition, Rosario Tijeras is told in fast and vibrant prose and with poetic flourish.
