La confirmación de Txemi Parra como una de las voces más potentes del noir vasco.Los Elordi son una familia adinerada y tradicional, unos empresarios vizcainos de rancio abolengo. Una mañana, Alba, la novia del hijo mediano, aparece en el caserio conmocionada y afirmando que ha encontrado a Julen degollado. Sin embargo, cuando la Ertzaintza acude al lugar de los hechos, comprueba que el muerto es un desconocido.A partir de ese momento, los secretos afloran y las rencillas se desatan entre el resto de los hermanos mientras Alba intenta recordar lo que sucedio la noche anterior y Julen sigue sin dar señales de vida. Todos son conscientes de que un asesino acecha, oculto entre la niebla que envuelve el caserio, pero ninguno esta dispuesto a admitir que el criminal podria ser uno de ellos.Un misterio fascinante que es a la vez un agudo retrato de las relaciones familiares. Poder, dinero, intrigas y celos escritos con el pulso firme de Txemi Parra, uno de los valores seguros del euskal noir.

A fantastic, sharp, and witty debut... Two Left Feet is not one to miss! Hannah Bonam-Young, New York Times bestselling author of People WatchingIn a league with no room for love, two players are about to change the game.Oliver Harris is football royalty in London. Ordinarily, the star of the Camden Roses is calm, cool, and collected, keeping his club relevant with his prowess in the midfield and mighty left foot. But this season, the threats abound: theres Camdens management to contend with complete with a new, prickly Dutch coach, eager for better results and a mid-season injury, which sidelines him when his team needs him most. When a recruit is called up to fill in, Oliver fears hell be replaced. If he can mentor this younger talent, then they might just have a chance at winning, together.After a string of lacklustre performances in his native Spain, Leonardo Davis-Villanueva is looking for one last shot at the club he always dreamed of, where he once played in the youth academy. Oliver immediately finds confident, eager Leo irritating. He can barely go through the motions, let alone coach him, without outright hostility. When he comes to admire Leos skill and warms to his humor and energy, though, he begins to see Leo as a friend and then, to his mounting horror, as something more.Leo craves Olivers attention and partnership; Oliver cant afford to fall in love with his teammate. Hes always kept a tight lid on his sexuality in a league thats never had a player come out. As the season heats up, a lot more than football hangs in the balance. Can Oliver and Leo win when it counts most?

In an opulent villa near the English Channel lives a family. The father has a safe, a spanner, a candle and a maid called Rose. The son has a swing, a croquet set, a raincoat, a car. Some members of the family read crime novels to fall asleep (the father), some instead of sleeping (the son), and some to ease the loneliness of an unhappy marriage (the mother). Their equilibrium is shattered in the wake of a shocking incident and the twenty minutes of silence that follow. Darkly comedic and wonderfully strange, Twenty Minutes of Silence is a truly original take on the crime genre, inspired by a true story. Here Helene Bessette builds a world of intrigue, a world punctured by startling disruptions and unexpected shifts, and in doing so destroys and remakes the crime novel, creating a form wholly new.

At this dead hour of the morning, the lorry park is deserted. It is a bitterly cold night, with rain falling and an edge of snow, and under the sickly yellow lighting the great lorries and tarpaulined trailers are dark and bulky as huddled beasts. For the last six months, Callan has been spending nights looting the lorries for their precious cargos - and its all been going well. But this fateful evening something will change, and Callan will find himself at the heart of a murder, and DCI Kelso Strang finds himself at the heart of the investigation .

This new translation of the best stories by Ichiyo Higuchi showcases the pioneering authors profound sensitivity and lyrical eye. The crystalline beauty of falling snow is a painful reminder of lost innocence; three children growing up on the fringes of Tokyos red-light district enjoy a last summer of freedom before adulthood and its compromises overtake them; a discontented serving maid and a prodigal son find their transgressions can be mutually beneficial; and a mans passion for an indifferent teahouse courtesan becomes so consuming that he is willing to sacrifice everything to it - his job, his family, perhaps even his life. Rarely translated into English, but revered in Japan for the purity of her classical language and her status as the countrys first professional woman writer, Ichiyo Higuchi drew on her own short life in a poor Tokyo neighbourhood to inspire her work. With immense delicacy of phrase and feeling, and vivid evocations of the colourful festivals and salty street banter that mask unspoken yearning and disappointed hopes, she transmits both the beauty and the struggle of working-class womens lives in turn-of-the-century Japan. In her clear-eyed vision of the world, longing and memory may be the only solace.
