Odd Partners
Unlikely pairs join forces to crack a slew of intriguing cases in an anthology edited by New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry, featuring original stories by Jacqueline Winspear, Jeffery Deaver, Allison Brennan, Charles Todd, and many more, including Perry herself. Throughout the annals of fiction, there have been many celebrated detective teams: Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Nick and Nora Charles. Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings. Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. That last pair is the creation of beloved mystery writer Anne Perry, who, as the editor of Odd Partners and in conjunction with Mystery Writers of America, has enlisted some of today’s best mystery writers to craft all-new stories about unlikely duos who join forces—sometimes unwillingly—to solve beguiling whodunits. From Perry’s own entry, in which an English sergeant and his German counterpart set out to find a missing soldier during World War I, to a psychological tale of an airplane passenger who wakes up unsure of who he is and must enlist his fellow passengers to help him remember, to a historical mystery about a misguided witch-hunt and the unlikely couple that brings it down, each story deals in the wonderful complexities of human interactions. And not just human interactions: Honey bees avenge the death of their beekeeper, a wandering cat brings home clues to a murder, and a gray wolf and a fly fisherman in the Minnesota woods try to protect their land from a brash billionaire. Featuring work by New York Times bestselling authors, Edgar Award winners, and up-and-coming members of the Mystery Writers of America, these tales of friends, enemies, and pairs who lie somewhere in the middle will satisfy every type of mystery reader. With each author’s signature brand of suspense, these stories give new meaning to the word “teamwork.” Featuring stories by: Ace Atkins • Allison Brennan • Shelley Costa • Jeffery Deaver • Robert Dugoni • William Frank • Georgia Jeffries • Lou Kemp • William Kent Krueger • Joe R. Lansdale • Lisa Morton • Claire Ortalda • Anne Perry • Adele Polomski • Stephen Ross • Mark Thielman • Charles Todd • Jacqueline Winspear • Amanda Witt

Questa terra così gentile
1932, Minnesota. Rimasti orfani e senza parenti, Odie O’Banion e suo fratello Albert vengono portati alla Lincoln Indian Training School, sebbene siano gli unici due ragazzi bianchi in una scuola di indiani. Mrs. Thelma Brickman, la direttrice, soprannominata la Strega Nera, è una donna arcigna e autoritaria, che non esita a punire la vivacità del giovane Odie confinandolo nella Stanza del Silenzio, una cella d’isolamento dove i bambini vengono rinchiusi senza cibo e acqua. A rendere quel luogo ancora più spaventoso è l’occhio attento del custode, un uomo sciatto e scontroso di nome DiMarco: se un ragazzo ha bisogno di una punizione, di solito è DiMarco a somministrargliela, godendo di ogni singolo colpo della cinghia di cuoio. Ma la Lincoln Indian Training School è anche un luogo dove Odie stringe legami destinati a lasciare un segno indelebile nella sua vita: quello con Mose, un ragazzino indiano che non è in grado di articolare le parole perché a quattro anni gli è stata tagliata la lingua, ma dalle cui labbra sgorga una bella risata contagiosa; e quello con la piccola Emmy Frost, la figlia dell’insegnante di economia domestica, una bambina con un dono speciale. Quando, a seguito di un terribile crimine, Odie sarà costretto a fuggire dalla scuola, Albert, Mose ed Emmy lo seguiranno. A bordo di una canoa, pagaieranno sul fiume Gilead al chiaro di luna, lasciandosi alle spalle le piantagioni di cotone diretti al Mississippi: quattro orfani salpati insieme per un’odissea che vedrà le loro vite andare incontro a pericoli di ogni genere, in un’avventura destinata a diventare epica. Con l’atmosfera di un classico moderno, tra omicidi e rapimenti, bambini perseguitati e demoni dai mille nomi, Questa terra così gentile racchiude in sé tutti gli elementi in grado di animare una grande storia: il coraggio e la codardia, l’amore e il tradimento. E, ovviamente, la speranza. «Un’avventura picaresca durante la Grande Depressione. Con un po’ di Furore e un po’ di Huckleberry Finn, il romanzo di Krueger è un viaggio indimenticabile verso la saggezza e la libertà». Minneapolis Star Tribune «Una storia da custodire – eccezionale e indimenticabile». Historical Novel Review «Forte di una scrittura aggraziata e di personaggi accattivanti... questo è un libro per la vita».Denver Post

Acest Taram Al Blandetii
„Un roman picaresc plasat în timpul Marii Crize. Amintind de Fructele mâniei și de Huckleberry Finn, Acest tărâm al blândeții este o călătorie atât înăuntrul ființei, cât și în afara ei, o călătorie la capătul căreia descoperi sensul vieții și libertatea." - Minneapolis Star Tribune 1932, Minnesota — Școala Lincoln e un loc ostil unde sute de copii amerindieni, orfani sau separați abuziv de familiile lor, sunt trimiși să fie educați. Printre ei se află Odie O’Banion, un băiat orfan, cu mintea ageră, ale cărui isprăvi atrag mânia directoarei. În urma unui incident, Odie și fratele său, Albert, singurii copii albi din școală, sunt siliți să fugă, luându-i cu ei și pe Mose, un băiat mut din tribul Sioux, precum și pe Emmy, o fetiță rămasă fără mamă. Împreună, pornesc cu canoea pe râul Gilead, în căutarea unui cămin, întâlnind în drumul lor alți oameni în derivă, de la truditori ai pământului și tămăduitori prin rugăciuni la familii dezrădăcinate și suflete pierdute. „Amplu, profund și nespus de captivant — cititorii vor savura fiecare pagină." - New York Journal of Books „Dacă vrei să citești o saga americană de amplă respirație, cu o atmosferă nostalgică, atunci romanul lui Krueger e alegerea perfectă." - Entertainment Weekly „O odisee impresionantă, o căutare a identității și a unui cămin." – Booklist „Minunat scris și dând viață unor personaje memorabile, Acest tărâm al blândeții va învinge timpul." - Denver Post William Kent Krueger este un faimos scriitor american, cunoscut mai ales pentru seria de romane polițiste plasate în Minnesota și avându-l drept protagonist pe Cork O’Connor. Și-a dorit să devină scriitor încă din copilărie, când a scris prima sa povestire. A primit nenumărate distincții, printre care Anthony Award, Minnesota Book Award, Loft-McKnight Fiction Award.

Apostle's Cove

Apostle's Cove
The New York Times bestselling Cork O’Connor Mystery series—a “master class in suspense and atmospheric storytelling” (The Real Book Spy)—continues with Cork O’Connor revisiting a case from his past and confronting mysterious deaths in the present. A few nights before Halloween, as Cork O’Connor gloomily ruminates on his upcoming sixtieth birthday, he receives a call from his son, Stephen, who is working for a nonprofit dedicated to securing freedom for unjustly incarcerated inmates. Stephen tells his father that twenty years ago, as the newly elected sheriff of Tamarack County, Cork was responsible for sending an Ojibwe man named Axel Boshey to prison for a brutal murder that Stephen is certain he did not commit. Cork feels compelled to reinvestigate the crime, but that is easier said than done. Not only is it a closed case but Axel Boshey is, inexplicably, refusing to help. The deeper Cork digs, the clearer it becomes that there are those in Tamarack County who are willing once again to commit murder to keep him from finding the truth. At the same time, Cork’s seven-year-old grandson has his own theory about the investigation: the Windigo, that mythic cannibal ogre, has come to Tamarack County…and it won’t leave until it has sated its hunger for human blood.

La natura della grazia

La natura della grazia
È l’estate del 1961 a New Bremen, in Minnesota, un’estate torrida e funesta, destinata a cambiare per sempre la vita del tredicenne Frank Drum, figlio del pastore Nathan e di Ruth, una donna di straordinaria bellezza, ma immalinconita dalla vita di moglie di un ministro del culto. Frank ha un fratello più piccolo, Jake, detto Howdy Doody per via delle orecchie a sventola che sporgono come manici di una zuccheriera, e una sorella più grande, Ariel, destinata a una brillante carriera di musicista. Quell’estate la morte viene a visitare la famiglia Drum e l’intera New Bremen assumendo molteplici forme: incidente, malattia, suicidio, omicidio. Tutto comincia con la strana fine di Bobby Cole, un coetaneo di Frank dai capelli dorati e gli occhiali spessi, ucciso sui binari della ferrovia da mille tonnellate d’acciaio in corsa nella prateria verso il South Dakota, e prosegue con il ritrovamento quasi contemporaneo del cadavere di un vagabondo presso il ponte sul fiume Minnesota, non lontano dal luogo che Bobby amava frequentare, perso nei suoi sogni a occhi aperti. Là dove il ponte di cavalletti varca il fiume e i roveti e i cardi crescono fino al bordo della massicciata, si dà appuntamento una comunità di sfaccendati noti a New Bremen, gente che, stando agli abitanti della piccola città, ha un sacco di pensieri malati nella testa e da cui è opportuno tenersi alla larga. Gli ammonimenti valgono però poco alle orecchie di un tredicenne in cerca d’avventura, e così Frank Drum non esita ad avventurarsi da quelle parti e a fare la conoscenza di Warren Redstone, un indiano Dakota che, anni prima, ha cercato di provocare un’insurrezione a Sioux, mettendosi nei guai con i federali. Un incontro che assume sfumature inquietanti quando Frank sorprende Warren con indosso gli occhiali di Bobby Cole, e ancora più allarmanti quando lo osserva mentre con aria furtiva nasconde degli oggetti in un luogo appartato nei boschi. Con una prosa fluida, veloce e coinvolgente William Kent Krueger ha scritto un romanzo di formazione profondo e toccante, una storia indimenticabile sulla perdita dell’innocenza, sul prezzo da pagare per diventare adulti e sulla terribile grazia della vita. New York Times bestseller Vincitore dell’Edgar Award Vincitore del Goodreads Choice Award Miglior romanzo dell’anno per School Library Journal «Il prezzo crudele dell’età adulta e della saggezza. Io amo questo libro». Dennis Lehane «Elegiaca, evocativa ... una storia di rabbia, colpa e redenzione». Publishers Weekly

Uma simples Benção
New Bremen, Minnesota, 1961. Os Twins estavam fazendo sua temporada de estreia, as cervejas geladas estavam se esgotando no balcão de refrigerantes da Halderson e as revistas em quadrinhos eram um esteio em todas as prateleiras de revistas de barbearia. Foi uma época de inocência e esperança para um país com um novo e jovem presidente. Mas para Frank Drum, de treze anos, foi um verão sombrio em que a morte o visitava com frequência e assumia muitas formas. Acidente. Natureza. Suicídio. Assassinato. Frank começa a temporada com as preocupações de qualquer adolescente, mas quando a tragédia atinge inesperadamente sua família - que inclui seu pai, um pastor metodista, sua apaixonada mãe e irmã mais velha, ambas ligadas ao mundo artístico, e um irmão caçula, que parece mais sensato do que permitiria sua idade - ele se encontra lançado em um mundo adulto cheio de segredos, mentiras, adultério e traição, e repentinamente se vê obrigado a demonstrar maturidade e coragem além de sua idade. Contada da perspectiva de Frank quarenta anos após aquele fatídico verão, Uma simples benção é um relato comovente de um menino parado na porta de sua juventude, tentando entender um mundo que parece estar desmoronando ao seu redor. É um romance inesquecível sobre a descoberta do terrível preço da sabedoria e da assombrosa graça divina.

La caza de Shiloh
El parque natural de Quetico-Superior: un millón de hectáreas de bosques primigenios, rápidos de aguas blancas e islas inexploradas en la frontera entre Canadá y Estados Unidos. En algún lugar en pleno corazón de este agreste territorio, en la zona conocida como Boundary Waters, Shiloh —una cantante de country-western en la cumbre de la fama— desaparece. Su padre llega a Aurora, Minnesota, empeñado en contratar a Cork O’Connor —antiguo sheriff de Aurora y viejo amigo de la familia— para que encuentre a su hija. A pesar de sus reticencias iniciales, Cork se ve obligado a formar parte de una expedición de búsqueda compuesta por el padre de Shiloh, un ex presidiario resentido, dos agentes del FBI y un niño de diez años. Pero no son los únicos que van en pos de Shiloh. Tras su pista también hay hombres a sueldo: contratados no sólo para encontrarla... sino también para matarla. Mientras la expedición se adentra en aquel paraje salvaje, unos extraños llegan a Aurora amenazando con derramar sangre sobre las calles blanqueadas por la nieve; todo por un crimen que ha permanecido sin resolver durante quince años. Entretanto, en Boundary Waters el invierno empieza a hacer sus estragos. El equipo de Cork pierde todo contacto con la civilización, y la muerte, tenaz y repentina como las implacables tormentas de nieve de Minnesota, les acecha. Con EL SUSURRO DEL WÉNDIGO, William Kent Krueger sorprendió a crítica y público como una voz de electrizante frescura dentro de los anales del suspense. Vívida, explosiva y tremendamente absorbente, LA CAZA DE SHILOH no es sólo una obra maestra de la intriga, es mucho más; es una brillante novela donde se entremezclan la codicia, el asesinato y la supervivencia, una extraordinaria y arrebatadora narración que sitúa a Krueger como uno de los autores más versátiles y con mayor talento de nuestros días.

El susurro del Wéndigo
Cork O’Connor oyó hablar por primera vez del Wéndigo en otoño de 1965, cuando cazó aquel gran oso con Sam Luna de Invierno. Tenía catorce años y hacía uno que su padre había muerto. Sin embargo, habrían de pasar treinta años antes de que tuviera motivos para recordar al Wéndigo. Treinta años hasta que le oyera pronunciar su nombre. Parte irlandés, parte Anishinaabe, Corcoran «Cork» O ́Connor, antiguo sheriff de Aurora, pequeña ciudad de Minnesota, vive abrumado por los hechos que desembocaron en su destitución, por el fracaso de su matrimonio y por la consiguiente separación de sus hijos. Su vida carece de sentido, refugiándose en grandes dosis de cafeína, nicotina y culpa. Pero cuando el juez de la ciudad es brutalmente asesinado y un joven indio desaparece en medio de una gran tormenta de nieve, decide tomar las riendas de un caso en el que se topará con oscuros intereses económicos, grupos neo-nazis y secretos inconfesables que harán de esta pequeña población un polvorín a punto de estallar.

A l'heure où blanchit la campagne
Deux cultures s''affrontent : au nord d''Aurora, dans le Minnesota, se dresse une immense étendue de pins blancs centenaires que les Indiens considèrent comme sacrés. Cependant, Karl Lindstrom, un important industriel du bois, prévoit de raser le lieu pour l''exploiter. Aux premières lueurs de l''aube, alors que les incendies de forêt font rage dans la région, la petite ville tranquille, située au bord du lac Iron, est réveillée en sursaut par une violente déflagration. L''explosion fait une victime. Accident ? Attentat ? Les soupçons se portent évidemment sur la tribu ainsi que sur diverses organisations écologiques décidées coûte que coûte à sauvegarder ces arbres magnifiques. William K. Krueger nous entraîne dans un suspense d''une extrême originalité où, sous une noble cause - la défense de la nature -, se dissimulent les instincts les plus bas de l''homme.
