    -Titulo Original : The Liars Girl-Fabricante : Blackstone Publishing-Descripcion Original: 2019 Edgar Award nominee for Best Novel Will Hurley was an attractive, charming, and impressive student at Dublin s elite St. Johns College and Irelands most prolific serial killer. Having stalked his five young victims, he drowned them in the muddy waters of the Grand Canal. Sentenced to life imprisonment when he was just nineteen, Will is locked away in the citys Central Psychiatric Hospital. Freshman Alison Smith moved to the Big Smoke to enroll in St. Johns and soon fell hard for Will Hurley. Her world bloomed ... and then imploded when Liz, her best friend, became the latest victim of the Canal Killer and the Canal Killer turned out to be the boy whod been sleeping in her bed. Alison fled to the Netherlands and, in ten years, has never once looked back. When a young womans body is found in the Grand Canal, Garda detectives visit Will to see if he can assist them in solving what looks like a copycat killing. Instead, Will tells them he has something new to confess but theres only one person hes prepared to confess it to. The last thing Alison wants is to be pulled back into the past shes worked so hard to leave behind. Reluctantly, she returns to the city she hasnt set foot in for more than a decade to face the man who murdered the woman she was supposed to become. Only to discover that, until now, Will has left out the worst part of all ... From School Library Journal Twenty-nine-year-old Alison has lived in the Netherlands for the past 10 years, finishing college and starting her professional life. She has never been back to Dublin, not even to visit her parents. Ten years ago, her boyfriend, Will, confessed to multiple murders, and the knowledge that she was in love with a convicted serial killer sends Alison reeling. Will is behind bars, yet the killings have resumed, and the Dublin police are desperate to stop them. Alison agrees to come back, speak to Will, and try to get helpful information. But all is not as it seems, and Alison is shocked to learn the truth. This novel is fast-paced and intriguing, keeping readers guessing until nearly the end. However, Alison prefers to hide rather than face up to reality, which makes sense when she is 19 but wears thin by age 29.

    -Titulo Original : I Hear The Sirens In The Street A Detective Sean Duffy Novel (the Sean Duffy Series) (the Sean Duffy Series, 2)-Fabricante : Blackstone Publishing-Descripcion Original: New York Times Bestselling authorA torso in a suitcase looks like an impossible case, but Sean Duffy isnt easily deterred, especially when his floundering love life leaves him in need of a distraction. So with Detective Constables McCrabban and McBride, he goes to work identifying the victim. The torso turns out to be all thats left of an American tourist who once served in the US military. What was he doing in Northern Ireland in the midst of the 1982 Troubles? The trail leads to the doorstep of a beautiful, flame-haired, twentysomething widow, whose husband died at the hands of an IRA assassination team just a few months before. Suddenly Duffy is caught between his romantic instincts, gross professional misconduct, and powerful men he should know better than to mess with. These include British intelligence, the FBI, and local paramilitary death squads--enough to keep even the savviest detective busy. Duffys growing sense of self-doubt isnt helping. But as a legendarily stubborn man, he doesnt let that stop him from pursuing the case to its explosive conclusion.

Now an adult, she is obsessed with identifying the man who destroyed her life. Supermarket security guard Jim Doyle has just started reading The Nothing Man -- the true-crime memoir Eve has written about her efforts to track down her familys killer. As he turns each page, his rage grows. Because Jims not just interested in reading about the Nothing Man. He is the Nothing Man. Jim soon begins to realize how dangerously close Eve is getting to the truth. He knows she wont give up until she finds him. He has no choice but to stop her first ... Review Fiendishly clever...Howard uses serial killer tropes in original and surprising ways in this tour de force. -- Publisher Weekly (starred review) Gripping, beautifully written, and genuinely chilling, The Nothing Man had me from page one. Simply stellar. -- Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award-winning author of The Dark Corners of the Night The Nothing Man is the most original and chilling thriller Ive read in a long time, and is perfect for fans of Serial and The Fall. -- Mark Edwards, bestselling author of The House Guest Expertly crafted -- storytelling at its best. -- Patricia Gibney, bestselling author of The Missing Ones A book to steal your waking hours and haunt your sleeping ones. Chilling and brilliant. -- Cass Green, award-winning author of In a Cottage in a Wood The queen of high-concept crime fiction strikes again: this is the first novel Ive read that really captures the chills and twists of the true crime that obsesses us. Catherine Ryan Howard has always been thrillingly good at what she does but shes just getting better and better with every book. -- Jane Casey, author of the Maeve Kerrigan novels I was truly blown away and couldnt read it fast enough. I cant shower it with enough praise. Terrifying, brilliantly plotted, and extremely satisfying. -- Jo Spain, bestselling author of With Our Blessing Whip-smart, thrilling, and utterly compelling. -- Liz Nugent, bestselling author of Lying in Wait [A] compulsive thriller...Those familiar with Michelle McNamaras Ill Be Gone in the Dark, which inspired Howard, may spot similarities between the Nothing Man and the real-life Golden State Killer, but Howard (nominated for an Edgar for The Liars Girl) takes her story in other directions. The Nothing Man is an ingenious nesting doll, revealing surprises in alternating chapters from Eves book and those from the killers point of view as he reads said book. Howard can paint moving depictions of grief and survivors guilt while terrifying readers and making them triple-check the locks on their doors. This isnt nothing; its the authors best work yet. -- Shelf Awareness (starred review) This is probably one of the best books I ever read...I absolutely loved the book within a book format...The author did a fantastic job, and if you are a fan of Meg Gardiner, which I am, you will love this book. -- Seattle Book Review It might be cliche to say that a strong storytelling tradition runs in Irish genes, but...Cork native and current Dubliner Catherine Ryan Howard would seem to be indicative of this...This juxtaposition of predator and prey -- and the underlying question of just who is which -- renders the stakes breathtakingly high. Its a clever, meta construct -- and one the author fully, and frankly, embraces... The Nothing Man is clearly influenced by Michelle McNamaras Ill Be Gone In The Dark...but dont be mistaken: its still very much a work of fiction, albeit one thats grounded in the realities of crime, recidivism, and victimization.

    -Titulo Original : Son Of A Midnight Land A Memoir In Stories-Fabricante : Blackstone Publishing-Descripcion Original: Review In reading this book, as a son, I cried tears of forgiveness; as a father, tears of regret and pain; and as a warrior of everyday life, tears of love, fear, and victory! He has somehow managed to heal himself enough to revisit shadows of his past and, through his words, bring us along in his journey to the light. We should all be as lucky to achieve such a feat in our lifetimes in the face of such diversity. A must-read! --Atz Lee Kilcher, son of Atz Kilcher and star of Alaska: The Last FrontierReading this book is much like sitting with a good storyteller, perhaps around a campfire, and listening to him talk. --Anchorage Daily NewsAs a daughter, this book is transformative. Very seldom do we get windows into our parents private lives with such honesty. But I am most excited about this book for others to read, because it proves anyone can find forgiveness, love, and even change at any age. This is a tale of great courage and a ceaseless hope for a better life. My dad was the son of pioneers in the wild lands of Alaska, but miraculously he became a pioneer of a new kind of untamed wilderness: he became an Inner Pioneer. I guess trailblazing is a family tradition. --Jewel, singer and daughter of Atz KilcherAnyone familiar with the folksy troubadour of TV fame is in for a big surprise. Atz Kilcher spills out the dark torments of his rural upbringing, growing up hard and bitter, a self-medicating screw-up, until fatherhood forces him to face the family demons. Years of brave reflection-and, as hes quick to add, professional therapy-turn this pensive homestead confessional into a small triumph of redemption. --Tom Kizzia, New York Times bestselling author of Pilgrims WildernessIve known Atz Kilcher and his family a long time, but never so well as I do after reading Son of a Midnight Land. Like the man, it is personal, honest, charming, and often funny. Its the rare cowboy who can rope, yodel, and write. Atz is one of those. --Tom Bodett, humorist, author, and panelist on NPRs Wait Wait ... Dont Tell Me!With incredible courage and honesty, Atz invites the world into the deepest recesses of his soul. Pain, fear, redemption, forgiveness-its all in there. The Alaskan wilderness is just the backdrop for the true final frontier-the one in which a man faces himself and finds the means to overcome his hidden demons. --Bonnie Rose Ward, award-winning author of Winds of Skilak: A Tale of True Grit, True Love, and Survival in the Alaskan Wilderness *A Barnes & Noble Favorite Indie Book of 2018“This book…proves anyone can find forgiveness, love, and even change at any age.” -- Jewel, singer and daughter of Atz KilcherA powerful new memoir about growing up with a hard father in a hard landAtz Kilcher learned many vital skills while helping his parents carve a homestead out of the Alaskan wilderness: how to work hard, think on his feet, make do, invent, and use what was on hand to accomplish whatever task was in front of him. He also learned how to lie in order to please his often volatile father and put himself in harms way to protect his mother and younger, weaker members of the family. Much later in life, as Atz began to reflect on his upbringing, seek to understand his father, and heal his emotional scars, he discovered that the work of pioneering the frontier of the soul is an infinitely more difficult task than any of the back-breaking chores he performed on his familys homestead. Learning to use new tools honesty, vulnerability, forgiveness, acceptance and building upon the good helped him heal and learn to embrace the value of resilience. This revised perspective has enabled him to tell an enhanced and more positive version of the legacy his father created and has him doing the most rewarding work of his life: mapping his own inner wilderness while drawing closer to his adult children, the next stewards of the land he helped his father carve out of the Alaska...
