NOVEDADES

Everything changes in a single moment for Dawn Edelstein. She’s on a plane when the flight attendant makes an announcement: Prepare for a crash landing. She braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is, the thoughts are not of her husband but of a man she last saw fifteen years ago: Wyatt Armstrong. Dawn, miraculously, survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have suddenly been raised. She has led a good life. Back in Boston, there is her husband, Brian, their beloved daughter, and her work as a death doula, in which she helps ease the transition between life and death for her clients. But somewhere in Egypt is Wyatt Armstrong, who works as an archaeologist unearthing ancient burial sites, a career Dawn once studied for but was forced to abandon when life suddenly intervened. And now, when it seems that fate is offering her second chances, she is not as sure of the choice she once made.

In the early morning of November 29th, 2019, surveillance cameras at the headquarters of MI6, Britain’s spy agency, captured video of a young man pacing back and forth on a high balcony of Riverwalk, a luxury tower on the bank of the river Thames. At 2:24 a.m., he jumped into the river. In a quiet London neighborhood several miles away, Rachelle Brettler was worried about her son. Zac had told her that he had gone to stay with a friend for the weekend, but then he did not come home. Days later, a police car pulled up and two officers relayed the dreadful news: Her son was dead. In their unbearable grief, Rachelle and her husband, Matthew, struggled to understand what had happened to Zac. He had had his troubles, but in no way seemed suicidal. As they would soon discover, however, there was a lot they did not know about their son. Only after his death did they learn that he had adopted a fictitious alter ego: Zac Ismailov, son of a Russian oligarch and heir to a great fortune. Under this guise, Zac had become entangled with a slippery London businessman named Akbar Shamji and a murderous gangster known as Indian Dave. As the Brettlers set about investigating their son’s death, they were pulled into a different and more dangerous London than the one they’d always known, and came to believe that something much more nefarious than a suicide had claimed Zac’s life. But to their immense frustration, Scotland Yard seemed unable—or unwilling—to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Neurosia: Donde la ansiedad deja de ser enemiga ¿Qué pasaría si, en lugar de combatir la ansiedad, aprendieras a comprender lo que viene a decirte?

En una época obsesionada con el control del sintoma, esta obra propone una via distinta: validar la tristeza, el dolor y la soledad como emociones válidas y con sentido.

Cuando le rompen el corazón, el doctor Fionn Kane espera curarse huyendo a un pueblecito de Nebraska, lejos de su casi prometida y su carrera frustrada de cirujano.

Pero un circo de verdad acaba encontrándolo a él. Rose Evans lleva una década trabajando como motorista y pitonisa para el Circo Silveria. Lleva un ritmo de vida que encaja con ella, sobre todo le viene bien para pasar desapercibida si le entran ganas de cometer algún que otro asesinato. Pero, cuando un homicidio se le va de las manos y acaba con una pierna herida en el proceso, Rose se ve atrapada en Nebraska, en la casa del adorable médico del pueblo. El problema es que algunos corazones rotos no se pueden coser. Y cuanto más tiempo te quedes en un sitio, más probabilidades hay de que te pillen los fantasmas.
