The Daniel O'Malley thing is the paranormal applied to the mind, and to that unfathomable potential that for many years has been imputed to our gray matter between beliefs, fraud and some isolated case that testifies in favor of the cause. So while the thing ...
In soccer slang there are still suggestive terms between the tiredness of the hackneyed and the kick to the dictionary. If we analyze the term "false nine", beyond its meaning at grass level, we find an unparalleled dichotomy in the literary and even in the philosophical. Abstracted from any ...
The biggest mystery can be ourselves. That is one of the basic notions that can awaken this novel that is shaping up to be a psychological thriller towards the mysteries of its characters. Two men face to face, Inspector Jorge Driza and the husband of an assault victim, Be. ...
Evil and its tool of doom have something telluric about it. It seems as if Satan himself had a domain on Earth to carry out his evil plans. This is the only way to explain that in Fjällbacka, Camilla Läckberg's village and the center of all her novels, they are repeated cyclically ...
