"At first glance, the crimes appear random. Arson. Theft. Fraud. Murder. But these are more than random crimes. They're moves…
in an increasingly deadly game. And the one element they have in common: a woman who is gorgeous, clever... and lethal. Elizabeth Avery has a winsome smile and flawless figure, but underneath is a heart of ice. She's a master manipulator, convincing strangers to do the unthinkable. And she orchestrates it all without getting too close. Until now. When Elizabeth ruthlessly disposes of an inquisitive young reporter, her crime catches the attention of Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce, FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, and crime reporter Cassidy Shaw. They know they're dealing with a cold-blooded murderer who could strike at any time. What they don't know is that they're already on a first-name basis with the killer.

"the whole world is a violent place." In these four detective novels written between 1995 and 2006, |Kill Me If...|, |The Good Cripple|, |Enchanted Stones|, and |Stable|, he also demonstrates his masterful handling of suspense. The massacres of indigenous people in the mountains and the trafficking of children, the memory of a kidnapping, the running over of a child by a hit-and-run driver, and the burning of a stable during an equestrian festival are just the starting point of these four stories, a "narrative tetralogy" that marks a milestone in contemporary Latin American literature." -- Translation provided by NLSLa primera estrella de la noche (Chicago stars series #08)

"Piper Dove is a woman with a dream-to become the best detective in the city of Chicago. First job? Trail…
former Chicago Stars quarterback, Cooper Graham. Problem? Graham's spotted her, and he's not happy. Which is why a good detective needs to think on her feet. "The fact is...I'm your stalker. Not full-out barmy. Just...mildly unhinged." Piper soon finds herself working for Graham himself, although not as the bodyguard he refuses to admit he so desperately needs. Instead, he's hired her to keep an eye on the employees at his exclusive new nightclub. But Coop's life might be in danger, and Piper's determined to protect him, whether he wants it or not. (Hint: Not!) If only she weren't also dealing with a bevy of Middle Eastern princesses, a Pakistani servant girl yearning for freedom, a teenager who just wants to fit in, and an elderly neighbor demanding Piper find her very dead husband. And then there's Cooper Graham himself, a legendary sports hero who always gets what he wants-even if what he wants is a feisty detective hell bent on proving she's as tough as he is." -- GoodreadsCasas vacías (Narrativa Sexto Piso)

"A suicide and a mysterious murder serve as the starting point for this story in which two recent university graduates…
face a mission that will change their lives forever: to locate some ancient medieval theater books. Thus begins a thrilling search in which the characters will end up finding themselves and their own destiny, outlining at the same time the portrait of a bridge generation that struggled to find its own space in the Spain of the late seventies and early eighties. A gripping story of intrigue, of ambitions and grudges, of love and heartbreak, of frustrations and desires, where the murkiest and the noblest feelings intermingle and clash dramatically, always against the backdrop of the theatrical world, that metaliterary space in which, as in a game of mirrors, not everything is what it seems...."
