Havana Bay : a novel / Cruz Smith, Martín

Público Ubicación : 813.30872/C918h Autores: Cruz Smith, Martín, Autor Título : Havana Bay : a novel Fuente : New York [US] : Ballantine Books, 2001, 334 p. Temas : AMERICAN  LITERATURE,  DETECTIVE  NOVEL,  MURDER,  ORGANIZED  CRIME  -  FRAUD Resumen : Havana Bay is a crime novel by Martin Cruz Smith, set in Cuba. Renko is depressed because his beloved wife Irina is dead due to a misunderstanding through carelessness on the part of a Russian doctor and his nurse. He is in a suicidal state of mind when anonymously summoned to Havana to help an old acquaintance out of some unspecified trouble. By the time he arrives, however, the good Colonel Pribluda, late of the SVR, has apparently died under very mysterious circumstances. The novel begins with Arkady at the tip of Havana Bay as the sun begins to rise on what promises to be a hot day in Cuba. The Cuban militia has what they believe is a dead Russian. Renko being a Senior Investigator from Moscow who knew Pribluda, the Cubans are hoping he can expedite matters by both confirming the liquefying corpse's identity and affirming it as a natural or accidental death. In a decaying Cuba filled with cars and houses that were built in the 1950s and are now falling to pieces, Renko stumbles upon a plot to defraud Russia of $250 million in an underhanded sugar purchase scam. Along the way, there are the gruesome killings, abakua ceremonies and attacks upon his person....leer masleer menos

Hush money / Parker, Robert B.

Público Ubicación : 813.30872/P224h Autores: Parker, Robert B., Autor Título : Hush money Fuente : New York [US] : Berkley Books, 1999, 323 p. Temas : AMERICAN  LITERATURE,  DETECTIVE  NOVEL,  MYSTERY,  BRIBERY  –  NEPOTISM,  SUICIDE  -  BULLYING Resumen : This time Spenser and his buddy Hawk are helping a couple of troubled friends (i.e., theyre working without a fee). The first case involves the denial of tenure for Professor Robinson Nevins. While tenure meetings are always closed-door affairs, Nevins assumes that the recent suicide of graduate student Prentice Lamont (who some claim was having an affair with Nevins) ruined his chances for a coveted permanent position. Spenser and Hawk cut a brawl-strewn path through the members of the tenure committee on their way to the surprising truth of the Nevins case. The other investigation pits Spenser against the unknown stalker of K.C. Roth. Spensers girlfriend, Susan, has known K.C. for a while, and while the PI finds Ms. Roth a bit melodramatic, hes always eager to help a damsel in distress. The only problem is that after hes apparently resolved the case, K.C. begins a little stalking of her own - of Spenser....leer masleer menos

The alienist / Carr, Caleb

Público Ubicación : 813.30872/C276a Autores: Carr, Caleb, Autor Título : The alienist Fuente : New York [US] : Bantam Books, 1995, 597 p. Temas : AMERICAN  LITERATURE,  DETECTIVE  NOVEL,  MYSTERY  –  SUSPENSE,  CRIMINAL  PSYCHOLOGY Resumen : The Alienist tells the story of Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a psychologist (“alienist,” in the parlance of the day) who leads a secret investigation into a string of gruesome killings. He is assisted by John Schuyler Moore, a New York Times police reporter who acts as the story’s narrator; Sara Howard, the police commissioner’s secretary and an aspiring detective in an age when no women had yet ascended to that position; and the Isaacson brothers, Marcus and Lucius, new recruits to the detective ranks who bring fresh ideas and substantial knowledge of modern forensic methods. Kreizler subscribes to a theory of individual psychological context, which posits that childhood experiences, especially traumas, have substantial influence on a person’s behavior in adult life. Using this theory of context, Kreizler teaches his fellow investigators to build a psychological profile of a savage killer who is murdering and mutilating children who are being commercially sexually exploited, nearly all of whom are boys wearing makeup and dressed as girls. Kreizler’s investigation proceeds in secret thanks to the clandestine approval and support of Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt, the most famous and by far the most important of the novel’s real-life historical figures. The investigation requires secrecy because the guardians of the city’s established order, from the mayor’s office to the Episcopal Church to the patrons of the Metropolitan Opera House, regard Kreizler’s views with suspicion. Furthermore, Roosevelt is in the process of purging the city’s police department of its corrupt old order, reforming its practices, and building a modern police force. The old order, however, will not go quietly....leer masleer menos

The last juror / Grisham, John

Público Ubicación : 813.30872/G814l Autores: Grisham, John, Autor Título : The last juror Fuente : New York [US] : A Dell Books, 2004, 486 p. Temas : AMERICAN  LITERATURE,  DETECTIVE  NOVEL,  JUROR  -  MURDER  TRIALS Resumen : In The Last Juror, published in 2004, John Grisham explores race relations and racism in the American South of the 1970s. Although the title may lead readers to expect a taut courtroom thriller like Grisham's earlier works, this character-driven novel follows the growing relationship between twenty three-year-old Willie Traynor, new owner of the Ford County Times, and Calia Ruffin, also known as "Miss Callie," a fifty nine-year old black woman. She is the mother of eight children, seven of whom have earned Ph.D.s—a remarkable accomplishment for the period. The "juror" of the title does refer to an important legal case that acts as the centerpiece for the book—Danny Padgitt's explosive trial for the rape and brutal murder of a young local widow. Convicted of the murder but sentenced to life imprisonment instead of death, Padgitt spends ten years in jail. When he gets out, jurors from his case start to die under mysterious circumstances. Over the course of the story, Grisham introduces many of Clanton, Mississippi's residents and local characters, people like politicians, war veterans, and decaying aristocracy who make the town colorful and unique....leer masleer menos
