Pyromancy

Gonzalo Lopez Pardo

Sinopsis

An original, high-caliber thriller, in which Chile’s main port is the ashen witness to lives lost before succumbing once again to the flames. Perhaps this time for good.

Pyromancy, the new novel by Gonzalo López Pardo

Valparaíso always burns. There has been much speculation about the intentionality of those disasters, without pointing the finger at anyone in particular, although arsonists and drug traffickers are named; so far their presence is a ghostly one. In Piromancy, López Pardo delves into the nooks and crannies of that story and, despite the fear, points to the culprits, believe it or not.

López Pardo’s writing presents new airs within genre literature, with a special interest in unraveling forgotten stories and the magic of the end of the world. His references include Borges, Rulfo and Coloane. He also declares his admiration for the anime genius Hayao Miyazaki.

Trouble Weighs a Ton

Mark Atley

Real love, much like the justice system, is messy. 
Fresh out of jail, Russell Siriano, boss of the Siriano Organization, is kidnapped. He was supposed to be safe in U.S. Marshal Kelly Chambers’s custody. Now it’s her responsibility to solve the strange crime. Using the lessons Kelly’s “Uncle” Frank taught her, she knows she must track down the perpetrators before the Siriano family finds them first. 
While Kelly navigates media embarrassment and accidentally falls for the only reporter willing to hear her side of the story, rival crime boss Pablo Jimenez takes control of the Siriano Family's neighborhood. As Pablo seeks to establish himself as a leader, second-in-command Flavia Sanchez fears Pablo is forcing them in the wrong direction. He's made the first move in a war they're not prepared to win. 
Close by, Maurizio “Maggie” DiMaggio was only back to sniff out a rat, but with his mentor missing, the loyal henchman vows to bring his boss home. Will Maggie call off the search when a dark secret comes to the surface or will unconventional justice take down Russell Siriano before anyone else has a chance? 
“Trouble Weighs a Ton,” the much anticipated follow-up to "Too Late to Say Goodbye" in the Tulsa Underwood Trilogy, is a gritty and suspenseful crime novel about family and fatherhood. It answers the question: How far are people really willing to go for the ones they love?

At this point, however, Holmes and Watson didn't yet know that this book would unfortunately not be the last to lead them on the murderer's trail.

Shadows of Glory

Ralph Peters

From the New York Times–bestselling author, “one of the best historical mysteries we’ve seen . . . Jones is a memorable, magnificent character” (The Denver Post). Selected as one of the year’s best books by the Washington Post and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch As his best friend marches on Fort Donelson with Grant, Union officer Major Abel Jones struggles to solve the riddle of Federal agents tortured to death in a snow-swept Northern town. While Secretary of State William Seward worries about an immigrant insurrection, Jones discovers a world of murder and madness, sedition and seances, selfless patriotism and haunting passions. Abel is duty-bound to succeed, even though the ghosts of his own past—when his uniform was scarlet and not blue—are waiting for him. Rich in characters both fictional and historical, gorgeous in its language, clear as winter sunlight, and swift as the telegraph that binds a young country together, Shadows of Glory magnificently conjures up an American past—and brings it to ravishing life with matchless authenticity and storytelling power. “Gripping . . . vivid . . . a fine historical novel . . . [a] marvelous evocation of atmosphere and place.” —The Washington Post “Riveting . . . conveys the era of the Civil War with great mastery.” —Chicago Tribune “Second in Parry’s praised Civil War series, this uncommonly engaging historical drama . . . stirs the imagination with its vivid color, gripping suspense and wartime historical accuracy.” —Publishers Weekly
