“Piedrecitas entre la hierba”– Una historia repleta de amor, odio, amistad y valentía en la que la corrupción y la violencia se enfrentan con la justicia en la cotidianidad de un pequeño pueblo. A cada paso del libro aguarda un nuevo suspenso hasta llegar a un clímax pleno de acción y emociones fuertes. Una noche lluviosa de mayo, Marcelo Cervantes, un hombre malherido llega al pequeño pueblo de Piedrecitas, Camagüey, junto a su mujer y a su hijo. Años más tarde, un licenciado aparece para investigarlo. En medio de la investigación, el oscuro pasado de Marcelo regresa a Piedrecitas para atormentarlo de nuevo. Amor, odio, desengaño y amistad se revelarán en las relaciones entre los habitantes del pueblo en una trama donde la corrupción, la violencia y la justicia se enfrentan diariamente en sus calles.
El autor expone así la realidad de una época en la que los cambios político-económicos y sociales agitaban el país en un ambiente de corrupción y violencia que desataba la crueldad de los hombres. El realismo de la obra invitará a los lectores a reflexionar y a conocer más sobre la historia de un país castigado y reprimido duramente durante muchos años y la lucha que emprendió para lograr su libertad y eliminar los últimos vestigios de represión en un ambiente representado por la clase baja en el que aprenderán a perder los prejuicios impuestos por la sociedad y que, a veces, la familia no siempre es de sangre, sino la que se elige.

Michael Connelly is the bestselling author of over thirty novels and one work of nonfiction. With over eighty million copies of his books sold worldwide and translated into forty-five foreign languages, he is one of the most successful writers working today. A former newspaper reporter who worked the crime beat at the Los Angeles Times and the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Connelly has won numerous awards for his journalism and his fiction. His very first novel, “The Black Echo,” won the prestigious Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best First Novel in 1992.

Michael is the executive producer of Bosch, an Amazon Studios original drama series based on his bestselling character Harry Bosch, starring Titus Welliver and streaming on Amazon Prime. In his new book “Desert Star,” a Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch novel, they team up to hunt the brutal killer who is Bosch’s “white whale”—a man responsible for the murder of an entire family. (Amazon, 2022)
“Desert Star” – year has passed since LAPD detective Renée Ballard quit the force but after the chief of police himself tells her she can write her own ticket within the department, Ballard takes back her badge, leaving “the Late Show” to rebuild and lead the cold case unit at the elite Robbery-Homicide Division. For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him—the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free. Ballard makes Bosch an offer: come volunteer as an investigator in her new Open-Unsolved Unit, and he can pursue his “white whale” with the resources of the LAPD behind him.
First priority for Ballard is to clear the unsolved rape and murder of a sixteen-year-old girl. The decades-old case is essential to the councilman who supported re-forming the unit, and who could shutter it again—the victim was his sister. When Ballard gets a “cold hit” connecting the killing to a similar crime, proving that a serial predator has been at work in the city for years, the political pressure has never been higher. To keep momentum going, she has to pull Bosch off his own investigation, the case that is the consummation of his lifelong mission. The two must put aside old resentments and new tensions to run to ground not one but two dangerous killers who have operated with brash impunity.

A serial killer is loose on the streets of Norfolk in Rae Scott’s new crime thriller ‘The Reaper.’ Photo: Amazon
Born in New England, Rae Scott spent her childhood hiking, fishing, and enjoying the outdoor life inherent to the area. This love of adventure led her to travel the world in a quest to discover new and exciting things, feeding her thirst for knowledge and creativity that she now draws on for her books. In between her travels, she can be found on her porch in Virginia with her family coming up with new ideas as to where their next adventure will take them. In her new book “The Reaper,” a serial killer is loose on the streets of Norfolk. (Rae Scott, 2022)
“The Reaper” – Fear not those who are innocent, for I shall cause you no harm. I seek out only those who have yet to pay for their sins. Fear me if you have no remorse, for I am the Reaper, and I will ensure that you reap what you have sewn. The serial killer known as The Reaper is loose on the streets of Norfolk. Its victims have two things in common: They have each hurt a child but served little to no time in jail for it and none of them regret their actions. Detective Mel Tanner is close to retirement when she is assigned to investigate a murder that leads her in a hunt for the serial killer known as The Reaper. As a seasoned homicide detective of fifteen years, she now finds herself jaded and unfeeling to the atrocities that she has had to witness every day.
When rookie Detective Nat Petrov lands her dream assignment, to work with the best Detective in Norfolk, she is thrown headfirst into The Reaper’s perverse sense of justice. The Detectives race against the clock as body after body turns up with the signature Grim Reaper tarot card, each life ended in a way specifically designed for the individual victim. Will the detectives be able to catch a twisted serial killer before time runs out or will The Reaper exact revenge in a way more personal than anyone could have ever fathomed?
