Llamas
Par Ted Dekker. 2011
"Years ago, the Gypsy Kumpania where Janeal Mikkado lived was attacked by outsiders. With her best friend about to be…
consumed by a fire, Janeal had two options: try to save her friend--at serious risk to her own life--or disappear with the million dollars that she had just discovered . . . But the past is quickly coming back to haunt her. Both the best friend and the boyfriend that she was sure were dead have reappeared in her life, as has someone who knows about the money. There's a debt to be paid for the money she found, but there's an even greater debt she must face--and if the chaff isn't burned from her own heart, it will consume her." -- GoodreadsSangre de Emanuel
Par Ted Dekker. 2011
"This story is for everyone--but not everyone is for this story. It is a dangerous tale of times past. A…
love story full of deep seduction. A story of terrible longing and bold sacrifice. Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what it should flee. Forgetting it once had a truer lover. With a kiss, evil will ravage body, soul, and mind. Yet there remains hope, because the heart knows no bounds. Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow. Because the battle for the heart is always violently opposed. For those desperate to drink deep from this fountain of life, enter. But remember, not everyone is for this story." -- GoodreadsTodo es personal

"The tranquility of the set of director Santiago Parral's latest narcotelenovela is interrupted when hitmen from the Emes Cartel burst…
in and gun him down while he is trying to protect the star of the show, the celebrated actress Monica del Sol. Or at least this is the official version of the admired and revered director's assassination that is broadcast to the media. However, the reality is very different and tremendously less cinematographic. Santiago Parral is murdered, yes, but by which of his employees, close friends and enemies with motive to do so? Through the investigation she initiates to exonerate her husband, one of the main suspects, journalist Daniela Ruiz, will discover clues about the crime that will lead her to new possible suspects: the assistant director and the director's daughter's new husband, her own husband, the artist invited to that day's episode, the cook...." -- Translation provided by NLS¿En quién piensas cuando haces el amor?

Par Homero Aridjis. 2011
"In these pages the author places himself after the end of the millennium and, with an apocalyptic tone, prophesies the…
evils that will befall a mythical Moctezuma city, a future metaphor for today's Mexico City, scene of frequent ecological disasters and capital of the end of the era of the Fifth Sun. Above the catastrophes and the difficulty of living in a city of such magnitude, the characters wander with their own burden of love and heartbreak, as happens to Luis Antonio with his sister-in-law María, identical twin of Rosalba, his deceased wife. Yo Sánchez uses theater as a lighting technique and is linked to the family of the protagonists. This is a dizzying play, loaded with irony and black humor, that carries the questioning of the human being in the megalopolis." -- Translation provided by NLSDestinos errantes

Par Lilliam Rivera. 2019

grounded, she means working as an indentured servant in her family's struggling grocery store to pay off her debts. With each order of deli meat she slices, Margot can feel her carefully cultivated prep school reputation slipping through her fingers, and she's willing to do anything to get out of this punishment.

Par Ernesto Quiñonez. 2019
"When Julio, a teenager living in Spanish Harlem, hears that Taina, a pregnant fifteen-year-old from his high school claims to…
be a virgin, he decides to believe her. Julio has a history of strange visions and his blind and unrequited love for Taina will unleash a whirlpool of emotions that will bring him to question his hard-working Puerto Rican mother and his communist Ecuadorian father, his beliefs and even the building blocks of modern science (after seeing the conception of Taina's baby as a revolution in nature). After meeting Taína's uncle, "El Vejigante", an ex-con with a dark past, he accepts his proposal to support her during her pregnancy and becomes entangled in a web of crime that, while taking him closer to Taína, ultimately reveals a family secret that will not leave him unscathed." -- GoodreadsBeso: Ella Te Roba Más Que El Corazón

Par Patricio Pron. 2011
"A young writer, living abroad, returns home to his native Argentina to say good-bye to his dying father. In his…
parents' house, he finds a cache of documents--articles, maps, photographs--and unwittingly begins to unearth his father's obsession with the disappearance of a local man. Suddenly he comes face-to-face with the ghosts of Argentina's dark political past and with the long-hidden memories of his family's underground resistance against an oppressive military regime. As the fragments of the narrator's investigation fall into place--revealing not only a part of his father's life he had tried to forget but also the legacy of an entire generation--|My Fathers' Ghost Is Climbing in the Rain| tells a completely original story of family and remembrance. It is an audacious accomplishment by an internationally acclaimed voice poised to garner equal acclaim in America." -- GoodreadsElena sabe

the incident is quickly closed. Her sickly mother is the only person still determined to find the culprit.

"The granite floor burns and only the chirping of cicadas disturbs the peaceful and familiar summer of San Lorenzo de…
El Escorial. Its inhabitants, accustomed to the harshness of the mountains, complain about the heat wave, sheltering in the shade of the ancient walls of the monastery. The heat, however, has not accelerated the death of the man who, handcuffed in the cool boiler room of a Herrerian house among the pines of Mount Abantos, appears to have died from dehydration, with his eyes fixed on a bottle of water hanging from the ceiling at eye level. Lieutenant Karen Blecker, recently arrived in Spain after spending most of her career working for Europol, and a certain Master Sergeant Cano will begin to clarify the identity of the victim, whom no one in the area seems to know.

Par Cristian Perfumo. 2018
"The calm of a sleepy Patagonian fishing port has been broken by murder. It's the case of a lifetime for…
brilliant and headstrong forensic detective Laura Badía. The crime is brutal and baffling. The victim is Julio Ortega, a local heartthrob and an old flame of Laura's. The apparent motive is the theft of a collection of ancient and mysterious iridescent arrowheads that Ortega had recently acquired. Carved nearly six thousand years ago out of Amazon opal, they are now missing from Ortega's home, vanishing once again into legend. With the help of a Buenos Aires archeologist, Laura begins to assemble the pieces of a deadly puzzle. It starts in Puerto Deseado with the secrets of Ortega's friends, enemies, and lovers. Where it leads is the panoramic reach of the Perito Moreno Glacier and far beyond, to the most remote corners of Patagonia. Can they uncover the dark history of the most infamous lithic art collection in the world? Generations have killed and died trying to solve its mystery, and now Laura will risk her career, her life-and her own secrets-to be the one to do it." -- GoodreadsLo demás es aire (Biblioteca breve (Barcelona, Spain))
Par Juan Gómez Bárcena. 2022
"Toñanes is the small village in Cantabria where Emilio and Mercedes have just bought a second home. They have savings,…
two girls, and a baby on the way, and a little house near the sea seems like a good idea. They do not yet know that the pregnancy will be so complicated that they will have to decide whether they want to go ahead with the pregnancy; that they will doubt until the last moment whether or not their child will be able to run through that garden. It is spring 1984 and there are six months to go before the due date. But it is also 1633 and it is winter and Juan and Juliana have just lost their third baby, and it is 1946 and Luis and Teresa are dancing at the procession, and it is 1753 and Francisca is learning to write in secret and it is 1937 and the whole town is hiding in the same cave and it is the Cretaceous and an ammonite has to die so that in 1995 a child can find it. It all happens in the same place at the same time, in that village that has only thirty-four houses, one church, and no bar." -- Translation provided by NLS
