"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." -- GoodreadsYo fumo para olvidar que tú bebes (Nuevos tiempos (Madrid, Spain).

esclarecer la vida y el asesinato de su madre. Una novela de amor que deviene en thriller.Un true crime que descubre el lado oscuro del Japón más exquisito. En Japón, una industria encubierta ha crecido entorno a la «wakaresaseya», esto es: los terminadores de relaciones. Se trata de personas contratadas por un cónyuge para seducir al otro y luego obtener una ventaja en los procedimientos de divorcio al poder acusarles de adulterio. Cuando Satō contrata a Kaitarō, un agente de wakaresaseya, para que tenga una aventura con su esposa Rina, no cree que todo ello puedaírsele de las manos. Pero lo cierto es que Sato nunca ha entendido realmente a Rina, ni explorado sus deseos. Kaitarō, pues, deberá hacer aquello que el marido de Rina no se ha dignado a hacer nunca, para así poder enamorarla. Mientras Rina ignora las circunstancias que lo han unido a Kaitarō, ambos se enamoran desesperadamente, lo que les conducirá a un callejón sin salida en el que la propia hija de Rina se verá atrapada.Contada desde puntos de vista alternos y con el impresionante paisaje de Japón siempre como telón de fondo, Stephanie Scott presenta una novela en la que el amor tiene unas intrincadas repercusiones que arrastran a sus personajes hacia la tragedia. Mientras la hija de Rina, Sumiko, llena los vacíos de la historia de su madre y de su propia memoria, Scott investiga los espinosos fundamentos psicológicos y moralesde las acciones que tomamos en nombre del amor, cuestionando aquella línea divisoria que trazamos entre la pasión y la posesión.
