  The Adventure of the Tea-Stained Diamonds:
  He was not much more than a child. I estimated his age at fourteen. He was a handsome boy, with the raven-black hair and deeply tanned skin color that marks a person who came from the lands under the Raj. His young body was beginning to show the signs of an emerging well-made sportsman. From his place, lying on his back on the pavement, his dark-brown eyes stared up at the morning sky ... lifeless. Behind his head was a pool of blood, now darkened and congealed.

  He wagered on her marriage prospects. 
  She staked her heart on his redemption. 
  Neither expected to risk everything. 
  London, 1819. After two disastrous courtships, American heiress Amelia Edgewood has sworn off marriage altogether. But when she overhears the notorious Lord Nathaniel Sterling betting he can secure her a proposal by the end of the Season, she throws down a challenge of her own: if he wins, the money goes to her cherished orphanage. 
  What begins as a simple arrangement quickly spirals into something far more dangerous to her heart. As Nathaniel introduces Amelia to eligible bachelors, she plays the part of the perfect debutante—until a twist of fate leaves sixteen orphans without shelter. In a move that shocks society and himself, Nathaniel offers his mother’s Bloomsbury townhouse to house the children—with Amelia under the same roof. 
  As scandal brews and rumors swirl, their pretend partnership becomes harder to deny. With a child’s life on the line and emotions running high, Amelia and Nathaniel must decide what matters most: reputation, redemption... or a love neither of them saw coming.

  The Autobiography of Matthew...

  Since the 1970s, Lawrence Block has been writing award-winning novels and short fiction featuring Matthew Scudder. Now, with both himself and his detective half a century older, the author found himself charged with writing a book about his protagonist. And he decided he wasn’t the right person for the job. Lawrence Block: “What was Matt’s family like? How did he spend his childhood? What steered him toward the NYPD, and how did he get all the way from the Police Academy to a detective’s gold shield? Who were the influences and what were the experiences that made him the man we’ve come to know? These were important questions. There were certainly stories to be told, but that didn’t mean I was the person to tell them. If Matt Scudder was to have a memoir, he ought to write it himself.” So Block passed on the assignment to his most enduring fictional character, and the result—The Autobiography of Matthew Scudder—is a remarkable document, at once a convincing bildungsroman and the indispensable capstone of an outstanding series. Since his 1976 debut in The Sins of the Fathers, Matthew Scudder has aged in real time, so, too, remarkably enough, has his creator. Lawrence Block turned 84 on June 24, 2022, while Mr. Scudder reached that same milestone on September 7. The Autobiography of Matthew Scudder demonstrates clearly—and irresistibly—that neither one of them has lost a step.

  Una fortuna peligrosa es un juego de pasiones encontradas llevado con brío y penetración, así como una aguda recreación de los esplendores y miserias de las altas finanzas. Una obra llamada a sorprender a los admiradores de ese gran novelista que es Ken Follett y que ahora podrás disfrutar en formato audiolibro. La riqueza de los Pilaster se basaba en el banco de la familia, una de las más sólidas y respetables instituciones financieras del Londres victoriano. En torno al consejo de administración, que preside el anciano Seth Pilaster, giran las ambiciones de la familia, sobre todo las de Augusta, su maliciosa nuera, y las de Hugh, nieto de Seth. Augusta, junto a su falta de escrúpulos, cuenta con la alianza de Miguel Miranda, vástago de una brutal familia de caciques sudamericanos que desea contar con el apoyo del banco para sus proyectos de dominio. La lucha entre la perfidia de Augusta y la tradición de honradez de Hugh marcará durante treinta años los destinos del banco. Ahora también puedes escuchar Una fortuna peligrosa en formato audiolibro. Reseña:«Un modelo perfecto de construcción de intriga, con una fenomenal progresión dramática.»The New York Times
