Eva es una mujer satisfecha consigo misma. Es autora y editora de guías de viaje para gente tan urbana y feliz como ella. Casada desde hace años con Franklin, decide, ya cerca de los cuarenta, tener un hijo. Y el producto de tan indecisa decisión será Kevin. Pero, casi desde el comienzo, nada se parece a los inefables mitos familiares de la clase media urbana y feliz. Y cuando nace, Kevin es el típico bebé difícil que tortura a los padres. Y, con el tiempo, se convertirá en el terror de las niñeras, en un adolescente terrible, en el antihéroe a quien nada le interesa sino la belleza de la pura maldad. Y en ese trayecto que va desde los primeros desencantos de Eva hasta la sangrienta epifanía del joven Kevin, dos días antes de cumplir los dieciséis años, el niño es un enigma para su madre, que nunca le ha podido querer. «Excelente: por su inteligencia, su lucidez, su sentido del humor extraño, macabro a veces, pero siempre eficaz y también, desde luego, por la audacia con que ataca uno de los mitos, el de la maternidad feliz, más intocables de la cultura en que vivimos» (Laura Freixas).

A bosszúhadjárat mögött álló rejtélyes lángelme még mindig képes meglepetést okozni, de vajon elég felkészült és dörzsölt ahhoz, hogy túljárjon a bűnüldözés legjobbjainak eszén? Ördögi terve tényleg Nicholas Benning megsemmisítéséről szól, vagy létezik egy ennél nagyobb cél, amely mindeddig rejtve maradt a nyomozók elől? Joyce Saunders számára a nagyszabású, országhatárokon átívelő ügy lezárása immár személyes kérdés. Sikerül elvarrnia minden szálat, és leszámolnia minden ellenségével? Felelősségre vonni a bűnösöket, és igazságot szolgáltatni az ártatlanoknak? Létezik egyetemes igazság, vagy mások feletti ítéletünket egyéni szűrőink is befolyásolják?

Katrina

Autor: Mosonyi Mara

Número de Páginas: 357

Te miben hiszel? Lea Leclerc, a fiatal régész, visszatér szülővárosába, New Orleansba, mert szentül hiszi, hogy megtalálta a kétszázötven éve, koholt vádak alapján kivégzett vuduboszorkány, Katrina sírját. Hívő keresztényként neki ez csupán egy munka, de rá kell jönnie, vannak olyanok a városban, akiknek ez sokkal többet jelent. Egy titokzatos, gátlástalan nő pár lépéssel mindig Lea előtt jár, és talán gyilkolni is képes azért, hogy megkapja, amit akar. De mi is lenne az valójában? Jack Bradly őrmestert mind a két nő a bűvkörébe vonja. Ateistaként nevetségesnek tartja a vuduhiedelmeket és a bigott keresztény értékrendet is, de ahogy egyre jobban teret enged az érzelmeinek, úgy válik ő maga is ijesztően megszállottá. Hiszen sokat veszíthet... és csak az egyik nőt mentheti meg. Egyre több a hulla, ráadásul közeledik a város felé az évszázad vihara, a Katrina hurrikán! Mosonyi Mara ebben a regényében a félhold városába csábít el minket, ahol az időjárásnál már csak a románcok fülledtebbek, mocsarainál pedig csak a felszín alatt lappangó titkok baljósabbak. „Új kedvenc szerzőt avattam.”...
