Title: [Russian] - Ревность и другие истории Author: ю несбё Narrator: владимир голицын Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 10 minutes Release date: November 1, 2023 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: Ю Несбё, норвежский писатель и ведущий представитель северного нуара, не перестает удивлять. Ломая стереотипы, пренебрегая правилами жанра, он показывает человека так откровенно, как если бы мы сами смотрели в зеркало, боясь себе признаться: это я. 'В моей голове нет и не будет никакой цензуры', — утверждает Несбё. Он никогда не раскрывает своих замыслов заранее, и до недавнего времени было известно лишь то, что писатель работает над двумя сборниками короткой прозы. В первый из них вошли семь криминальных историй, объединенных темой ревности: чувства древнего, сильного, болезненного, неподвластного воле, изменяющего человеческую природу. Двое знакомятся в самолете. Она рассказывает, что хотела умереть из-за измены мужа и подписала договор с компанией, инсценирующей самоубийства. Если бы женщина знала, кто сидит в соседнем кресле... На греческом острове пропал турист, и для расследования приглашен детектив, обладающий уникальной способностью распознавать ревность при допросе... Подозрение падает на брата пропавшего человека, и этот мотив Каина и Авеля перекликается с сюжетом последнего романа Несбё 'Королевство'. Ревность прикрывается жаждой справедливости, сводит с ума, отравляет жизнь и меняет ее к лучшему лишь в том случае, когда соперника удается в прямом и переносном смысле убрать. Среди героев Несбё есть и циники, и простаки, но они всегда поступают непредсказуемо — даже для самих себя, потому что перед зеленоглазым чудовищем человеческая логика бессильна. Впервые на русском!

Этот обаятельный персонаж создан пером Луизы Пенни, единственного в мире пятикратного лауреата премии Агаты Кристи. 'Сегодня первый день Армана Гамаша в Квебекской полиции, куда он вернулся после девятимесячного отстранения, последовавшего за рядом необдуманных, пагубных решений' — пишут в 'Твиттере' недоброжелатели — нет, явные враги Гамаша. Тем не менее в полиции знают: он лучший. Он умеет действовать отчаянно дерзко, рискованно и, что бы там ни писали в твитах, в высшей степени эффективно. Именно таких решений требуют от старшего инспектора события, обрушившиеся на него в первый же рабочий день. Пропала молодая беременная женщина, и он берется за расследование, испытывая глубокое (и возможно, неразумное) сочувствие к ее отцу, ведь у инспектора тоже есть взрослая дочь! Тем временем провинции Квебек угрожает весеннее наводнение эпического масштаба. Надвигающаяся катастрофа всегда несет с собой хаос, и Арман Гамаш пытается ему противостоять. Отложить поиски пропавшей, как считает его зять — тоже старший инспектор полиции, — и заняться более насущными вопросами перед лицом стихийного бедствия? Нет. 'Сражение можно выиграть на одном фронте, — заявляет Гамаш. — Но война выигрывается на многих'. Лед на реках уже тронулся, трещат мостовые опоры, в Сети запущено видео, порочащее честь Армана Гамаша… Успеет ли он выиграть свою войну? Впервые на русском!

В этом уединенном монастыре, затерянном в дебрях Квебека, почти всегда царит тишина, прерываемая лишь старинными песнопениями.

Однако в монастыре происходит убийство, и старший инспектор Арман Гамаш начинает расследование, не подозревая, что и сам вскоре станет жертвой, — жертвой предательства, совершенного самым преданным его помощником...

Tempe isn’t so sure—but she soon discovers evidence that what’s at stake may have global significance, and the sound of a ticking clock grows menacingly loud. Then Tempe herself becomes a target…

Never go back into the woods. Never go back and never look back… Midsummer’s Eve. Bonfires dot the English countryside and flicker in the ancient Forest of Dean as costumed revelers dance and drink the night away. But when the sun rises, a local girl, Maddie Friar, has vanished, last seen heading to a party in a forest commune called “The Clearing.” Her sister Adele reports her missing but the local police say Maddie was a known party girl and probably ran off with some boy, or maybe the “Cinderman” got her, referring to a local legend of a forest spirit said to haunt the woods in search of a lost daughter. Eminent criminologist and academic Dr. Laughton Rees also knows about the Cinderman. She has found dozens of historical missing persons cases in these woods, all women, all attributed to this legend. But she doesn’t believe in legends; she believes in facts, so she heads to the forest and, with help from Adele, starts questioning everyone, from the mysterious Earl, lord of the crumbling abbey in the heart of the forest, to the charismatic leader of The Clearing. But as Laughton slowly begins to unravel the legend of the Cinderman and realizes it is bound by blood to Adele and Maddies’ dark past, she also discovers too late that the truth is far uglier, and far more dangerous, than any mythical monster.

A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Feisty, passionate Beatrice Steele has never fit the definition of a true lady, according to the strict code of conduct that reigns in Swampshire, her small English township: She is terrible at needlework, has absolutely no musical ability, and her artwork is so bad it frightens people. Nevertheless, she lives a perfectly agreeable life. But she harbors a dark secret: She is obsessed with true crime. If anyone in her etiquette-obsessed community found out, she’d be deemed a morbid creep and banished from respectable society forever. For her family’s sake, she’s vowed to put her obsession behind her. Eligible bachelor Edmund Croaksworth is set to attend the approaching autumnal ball, and the Steele family hopes that younger daughter Louisa will steal his heart. So Beatrice must be on her best behavior—a difficult challenge when a disgraced yet alluring detective inexplicably shows up to the ball. Beatrice is just holding things together when Croaksworth drops dead in the middle of a minuet. As a storm rages outside, the evening descends into a frenzy of panic, fear, and betrayal as it becomes clear that the guests are trapped with a killer. Contending with competitive card games, tricky tonics, and Swampshire’s infamous squelch holes, Beatrice must rise above decorum and decency to pursue justice and her own desires—before anyone else is murdered.

Title: Independence Square: Arkady Renko in Ukraine Author: Martin Cruz Smith Narrator: Jeremy Bobb Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 44 minutes Release date: May 9, 2023 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: Detective Arkaday Renko—“one of the most compelling figures in modern fiction” (USA TODAY)—risks his life when he heads to Ukraine shortly before the Russian invasion to find an anti-Putin activist who has mysteriously disappeared. Martin Cruz Smith has written nine previous novels featuring Arkady Renko, one of modern detective fiction’s most popular characters. These novels, beginning with 1981’s international sensation Gorky Park, have collectively traced Russia's evolution over the last half-century. Now, with Independence Square, Smith focuses on the fraught and frenzied days leading up to Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine. It’s June 2021, and Arkady knows that Russia is preparing to invade and subsequently annex Ukraine as it did Crimea in 2014. He is, however, preoccupied with other grievances. His longtime lover, Tatiana Petrovna, has deserted him for her work as an investigative reporter. His corrupt boss has relegated him to a desk job. And he is having trouble with his dexterity and balance. A visit to his doctor reveals that these are symptoms for Parkinson’s Disease. This is an ingenious autobiographical conceit, as Martin Cruz Smith has Parkinson’s, and is able through Arkady to movingly describe his own experience with the disease. Parkinson’s hasn’t stopped Smith from his work, and neither does it stop Arkady. Rather than dwell on his diagnosis, he throws himself into another case. An acquaintance has asked him to find his daughter, Karina, an anti-Putin activist who has disappeared. In the course of the investigation, Arkady falls for Karina's roommate, Elena, a Tatar from Ukraine. The search leads them to Kyiv, where rumblings of an armed conflict grow louder. Later, in Crimea, Tatiana reemerges to complicate Arkady’s new romance. And as he gets closer to locating Karina, Arkady discovers something that threatens his life as well as the lives of both Elena and Tatiana. Few fiction writers have better captured contemporary Russia with more insight or authenticity than Martin Cruz Smith. He does the same here for Ukraine and the events that preceded Russia’s invasion. Independence Square is a timely and a uniquely personal mystery novel-meets-political thriller by a master of the form.

Title: Burning Rage Series: #3 of The Deuce Mora Mysteries Author: Jean Heller Narrator: Christine Lakin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 22 minutes Release date: April 4, 2023 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: It’s already been a rough year for first-rate journalistic sleuth, Deuce Mora. After two agonizing investigations—one of which won her a Pulitzer, the other of which forced her to kill a man—she claims she’s sworn off action-packed chases that cause nightmares. Still … from the moment she hears the earliest details of the first fire, her detective-instincts say the pieces don’t fit, and every other instinct tells her she can’t walk away from the story—even though she knows she’ll regret it. As a series of deadly fires destroys landmarks first, then occupied structures, the body count rises by scores and the city is gripped by terror at Christmastime, adding lost revenue to property damage in the hundreds of millions. Whole blocks of Chicago real estate are falling to an arsonist, but no one knows why and everyone suspects the worst—terrorism. After the initial tip from the lead arson investigator (aka her boyfriend), Deuce is on her own to solve the mystery. Their relationship could endanger his reputation and his job if he’s even suspected of leaking information to her, so they’ve called a temporary halt. But she’s not exactly lacking for company—her old adversary, FBI agent Colter, has a tail on her, and Colter himself keeps popping out of the shadows. His presence at the crime scene and that of an NSA agent point to the suspicion of jihadist terrorism. But no terrorist group has claimed the mayhem.

Alex Armstrong has changed everything about herself—her name, her appearance, her backstory. She’s no longer the terrified teenager a rapt audience saw on television, emerging in handcuffs from the quiet suburban home the night her family was massacred. That girl, Alexandra Quinlan, nicknamed Empty Eyes by the media, was accused of the killings, fought to clear her name, and later took the stand during her highly publicized defamation lawsuit that captured the attention of the nation. It’s been ten years since, and Alex hasn’t stopped searching for answers about the night her family was killed, even as she continues to hide her real identity from true crime fanatics and grasping reporters still desperate to locate her. As a legal investigator, she works tirelessly to secure justice for others, too. People like Matthew Claymore, who’s under suspicion in the disappearance of his girlfriend, a student journalist named Laura McAllister. Laura was about to break a major story about rape and cover-ups on her college campus. Alex believes Matthew is innocent, and unearths stunning revelations about the university’s faculty, fraternity members, and powerful parents willing todo anything to protect their children. Most shocking of all—as Alex digs into Laura’s disappearance, she realizes there are unexpected connections to the murder of her own family. For as different as the crimes may seem, they each hinge on one sinister truth: no one is quite who they seem to be …

Yes, the Feds are aware of the trafficking ring. Yes, they have a plan to move on it. No, Deuce can’t be told about the plan, and under no circumstances can she write about its existence. This is the story of a lifetime—bigger than the Vinnie Colangelo story, which earned Deuce and the Journal a Pulitzer—and, for once, she has the support of her editor, but the Journal’s lawyer appears bringing warnings about “national security.” What could be a greater matter of national security than the safety of the city’s children who are being kidnapped and murdered? While Deuce is racing to break the case wide open, her life and her career are threatened on all sides. But break wide open it does, racing to an outrageous surprise ending, and Deuce learns first-hand the lesson that sometimes the only way to accomplish a great good is to commit unthinkable evil—and learn to live with the consequences.

After an unfortunate shooting incident in Iceland's largest shopping mall on Christmas Eve, he is demoted to a police deputy in a small rural village in eastern Iceland.

Led to a crime scene by a mysterious video, she discovers a man ritualistically hanging in a secret room and a puzzling inward-curving inscription. Delving into the investigation after a second, apparently unrelated, death, she uncovers a chilling connection to a historic crime: 160 years before, during the brutal and bloody British colonization of New Zealand, a troop of colonial soldiers unjustly executed a Maori chief. Hana recognizes the murders as utu—the Maori tradition of rebalancing, whether for a personal slight or, now, for a crime committed eight generations ago. There were six soldiers in the British troop, and since descendants of two of the soldiers have been killed, four more potential murders remain. Hana realizes she is hunting New Zealand’s first serial killer. The pursuit soon becomes frighteningly personal, recalling the painful event, two decades before, when Hana, then a new cop, was part of a police team sent to end by force a land rights occupation by indigenous peoples on the same ancestral mountain where the chief was killed, calling once more into questionher loyalty to her roots. Worse still, a genealogical link to the British soldiers brings the case terrifyingly close to Hana’s own family. Twisty and thoughtprovoking, Better the Blood is the debut of a remarkable new talent in crime fiction.

A few days later another college student is found shot dead in his car. This second victim was also at the party.

Deathbook asks the students to give it a name of a person who is making their life miserable. A few days later, the person they name is found dead. Soon after, they get another message—and only then do they realize that they are caught in an evil web they cannot get out of . . . Contains mature themes.

The murderer leaves cryptic clues on the victims' bodies: slash wounds made by a double-edged ceremonial knife, images of hyenas, and vengeful spirit animals associated with Jews back in Ethiopia. Because Aklilu is a member of the Knesset, Maya Rimon, an agent of the Service, Israel's elite Intelligence agency, takes on the case. So does her chief rival, Sarit Levine, Chief Inspector of the Jerusalem Police. Already biased against black Jews, Sarit suspects that the murder is a gang hit, payback for a failed drug deal. Maya suspects something far more sinister. Spiced with Ethiopian folklore and superstition, including Evil Eye curses, spirit possession, witch's brews, and spells, The Hyena Murders explores the timely theme of racism: among the various tribes of Israeli Jews, among politicians and bureaucrats, and within Maya's own family. In the course of the novel, as she grows closer to Dani, these social tensions take on an increasingly personal meaning for Maya.

The contest is called off, but Meg’s still feeling the heat. The victim had made an unfounded complaint about her, one that could cost Meg her job and see Hawk removed from her care. The field of suspects is daunting, and all of them are experts in throwing others off the trail. And though Meg’s team flies out to Minnesota to help uncover the truth, they’re on unfamiliar territory, pitted against a killer with the skills, and the motivation, to stay hidden in plain sight …

Title: [Spanish] - El tiempo de las moscas Author: Claudia Piñeiro Narrator: Karin Zavala Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 34 minutes Release date: October 24, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: «Mujeres estafadas por un hombre hay muchas, pero repudiadas tanto por la madre como por la hija, no tantas.» El tiempo de las moscas es la nueva y esperada novela de Claudia Piñeiro, que retoma la historia de Inés, la recordada protagonista de Tuya, en un relato de coraje y amistad que nos retrata cabalmente como sociedad. Inés sale en libertad, después de quince años presa por haber asesinado a Charo, la amante de su ex marido. Su vida ha cambiado, pero así también la sociedad: el avance del feminismo, las leyes de matrimonio igualitario y del aborto, el lenguaje inclusivo. Inés, una ama de casa tradicional y a quien la maternidad no le resultó algo feliz, entiende que debe ser práctica y adaptarse a la nueva realidad. Aunque le cueste. Se asocia con la única amiga que hizo dentro de la cárcel, la Manca, y ponen una empresa doble: ella se ocupa de hacer fumigaciones y su socia de investigar como detective privada. Como unas Thelma y Louise del conurbano, Inés y la Manca enfrentan situaciones complicadas, con el deseo de reinventarse. Hasta que, inesperadamente, una de las clientas de Inés, la Señora Bonar, le propone un intercambio muy inquietante; como salida de las tinieblas del pasado, la propuesta puede inclinar la balanza peligrosamente hacia el lado desfavorable. Pero también puede cambiarles la vida. La crítica ha dicho... «He terminado de leer Catedrales, una novela de Claudia Piñeiro que me ha tenido tres días totalmente enganchado. Me pregunto si hay una posible adaptación para el cine.» Pedro Almodóvar, director de cine «La novela negra del año... Lo tiene todo. Apuesta literaria, crítica social, grandes temas. » Juan Carlos Galindo, Babelia - El País sobre Catedrales «Breve y elegante... una lacerante crónica sobre la relación madre e hija, la humillación de la burocracia, la responsabilidad en el cuidado de los otros y las imposiciones del dogma religioso en las mujeres.» New York Times sobre Elena sabe «Sus libros suelen proporcionarnos muy fecundos cruces entre niveles narrativos diferentes: en Las maldiciones está la ficción política pero también un nivel absolutamente íntimo que tiene que ver con la paternidad.» Eduardo Sacheri «Las viudas de los jueves es una novela ágil y un análisis implacable de un microcosmos social en acelerado proceso de decadencia.» José Saramago «Claudia Piñeiro arrancó con una perla rara, Tuya, un policial negro duro, pero de mujer, que usa con acelerador los elementos del género: la violencia, el engaño, los cruces complicados.» Elvio E. Gandolfo «Si bien Piñeiro es reconocida por novelas dentro del género policial, es en el cruce entre intimidad y enigma donde nacen sus libros.» Verónica Boix, La Nación
