Watch out for the emergence of a John McMahon erected in the United States as an alternative to the more untimely and eccentric Harry Bosch but always accurate. An inexhaustible protagonist like Bosch, born from the pen of Michael Connelly, who may need this relief in PT Marsh, the new protagonist of ...
Despite being the first novel to come to Spain by Daniela Larcher (that's the name of the author after the pseudonym, a translated Álex Cerveza that in Spanish would not eat a literary colín), this author has already had her good years emerging in a black genre of your country in ...
