    A finales del mes de julio, al borde de las vacaciones y con el calor acechando cuerpos y mentes, el único objetivo del abogado protagonista de esta novela, con tanta habilidad para sacar adelante sus casos como pocos escrúpulos para complacer a sus clientes, es poder disfrutar de unos días de tranquilidad junto a su pareja y su hija.
    Pero ni la isla ni su trabajo le darán tregua. La isla, porque algunos de los cadáveres que con frecuencia recibe en sus costas tienen que ver —más de lo que parece— con su pasado, su familia y sus tejemanejes. Y su trabajo, porque un caso que implica a sus amistades más íntimas, y que ni siquiera quería aceptar, terminará por envolverlo en una historia de violencia, traición, corrupción y ambición que lo va sacando, poco a poco, de la seguridad que había encontrado al otro lado de la línea…
    … Una línea que no es más que un muro de adjetivos, esos que no aparecen por ningún lado en esta novela que C. J. Nieto ha pergeñado con el pulso de los maestros del género y que nos fascinará por su pericia en el estilo, su pulso al narrar y, también, por su control del tempo y la tensión en la narración, su ironía y, sí, su conciencia.
    Porque los adjetivos pesan, y esta novela, sin aditivos, nos hace evidente, en su ausencia, cómo su carga lastra las vidas de los que viven evitando asomarse al otro lado de ese muro que separa a los blancos de los negros, a los corruptos de los puros, a los legales de los ilegales, a los violentos de los pacíficos… Pero ¿qué hacer cuando ese muro se ha derrumbado?

    🔢 Knitting shop owner and counting tool designer Countessa Click is launching her new line of digital row counters when the product's manufacturing partner—a notorious cut-throat business executive—is found dead in her shop, surrounded by row counters all displaying the same suspicious number sequence. The police suspect a heart attack, but Countessa notices the numbers form a Fibonacci pattern and the victim's production notes contain coded quality control reports. With her product launch in jeopardy and the knitting community counting on her, Countessa must tally up the clues. Assisted by her knitting math club and the handsome engineer analyzing mechanical failures, Countessa uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit counters, stolen technology, and a plot to sabotage small knitting tool companies. From suspicious reset mechanisms that reveal planned obsolescence to digital displays that don't match factory specifications, every counted row tells a story. But when Countessa discovers the victim was systematically installing faulty chips in competitors' products to undermine their reputation, she realizes the killer is protecting crafters from inferior tools more valuable than any corporate profit. With the knitting tool expo approaching and the real saboteur still counting on deception, Countessa must calculate the truth before her own business gets permanently subtracted from the market.

    In the idyllic English town of Shepton Rise, drama is a way of life for Ginny Fellows—but usually, it stays on stage. As a theatrical agent for the Dead Actors, a lively troupe of performers known for their memorable on-screen demises, Ginny is well-versed in the art of make-believe. But when a real-life murder darkens the curtains of Shepton Rise, Ginny must take centre stage as an unlikely sleuth.

The plot thickens as Ginny discovers that almost anyone in the group might have had a motive for murder. Yet Ginny has her own challenges to face—crippling panic attacks make it nearly impossible for her to leave the safety of her home. 
    With the steadfast support of her eccentric clients, the Dead Actors, and her devoted friend Adam, Ginny must summon the courage to step into the spotlight and untangle a web of lies and deception. 
    A delightful whodunit brimming with wit, charm, and theatrical flair, Murder in the Wings is a cozy mystery that proves all the world’s a stage—and the stakes have never been higher.
