rips her childhood away from her and destroys what she loves most. All her loved ones are mercilessly murdered and she is outraged and assaulted to such an extent that her assailants think they have ended her life. In her last breath, her soul is impregnated with a vengeful feeling that will make her take the reins of her life a few years later, through a dark and gloomy world where mafias and danger are constant. In another part of the planet, a contract killer receives a call that will change his existence completely when he discovers a list of six names, having to assassinate each person in order, according to his former instructor, Anker Megalos." -- Translation provided by NLSEl corazón de hielo (Triple amenaza #03)

"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. And one of them may be next on her list." -- GoodreadsAusencio (Narrativa (Almadía Ediciones))
Par Antonio Vásquez. 2018
"The death of Ausencio, a drunken and irresponsible father, unleashes the demons that dwell inside Arturo, his eldest son, who…
as a result of this loss will fall into a spiral of sadness, remorse, and despair, which will lead him to face the same vice that overshadowed the possibilities of happiness in his childhood and youth. Mourning becomes a shadow that looms over all his actions and thoughts, and his present becomes a continuous wandering through bad memories and black omens. The abandonment and humiliation to which alcohol leads him cause him to fall out with the town and his loved ones. Ausencio is the story of a descent into hell, of a son who fears repeating his father's mistakes, of a young man who seems to be followed by three ghostly women to announce a fateful destiny, of a man who flees and exposes himself in the open to the face of his death." -- Translation provided by NLSUn diamante al rojo vivo (Dortmunder mystery #01)

"Ann Fletcher has returned to Charleston to see her younger sister Sarah receive her master's degree. But she soon finds…
herself riding in the back of an ambulance, watching helplessly as Sarah fights for her life. As they race to the hospital, Sarah talks to someone who is not there...and hums a melody Ann has never heard before. That unfamiliar, unearthly beautiful melody keeps finding Ann--first in the hospital chapel, then in her dreams, and finally in Sarah's empty house. Two neighbors have a profound effect on Ann. Ethan McKinney lends her a shoulder to lean on. And as a carpenter, he volunteers to help Ann get the Fletcher family home into shape for selling. His strong presence is a pleasing distraction. Ann's twelve-year-old neighbor, Keith, has Down Syndrome and the guile to believe he can actually see and hear angels. In fact, he insists they are looking out for her in ways she's never imagined. God begins to reveal himself to Ann--both in her newfound friends and through supernatural events. As she discovers the very real presence of angels around her, will she finally open her heart to receive God's healing love?" -- GoodreadsEcos

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.

"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...."
