ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In times of darkness, the light of books can save us.

After the success of Auschwitz Lullaby and A Bookseller in Madrid, Mario Escobar returns with a moving novel set in Nazi Germany. A tribute to libraries and the fight for freedom.

In 1933, at the heart of Berlin, Helene Nathan faces a challenge that will test her courage and love for books. As director of one of the largest libraries in the country, she becomes the guardian of the works the Nazi regime seeks to destroy.

As the shadows of Nazism fall over Europe, Helene embarks on a dangerous mission to save those texts that could change the course of history. In a world dominated by war and fanaticism, her struggle becomes a symbol of resistance and hope, because even in times of darkness, the light of books can save us.

The passionate story of a librarian who stood up to the Nazi regime and risked her life to protect forbidden books.

The hunt for fossils--and love--is on in this steamy, STEMinist romance about two opposing paleontologists who join forces to prevent a fraudulent dinosaur discovery, but accidentally dig up feelings for each other along the way.

Renegade paleontologist Ripley Adams is this close to digging up a fossil treasure and vindication. She's spent the last three years in academic exile after her ex-boyfriend stole her work, betrayed her trust, and broke her heart in one fell swoop. If she can unearth a complete specimen of her newest discovery--a never-before-seen missing link between dinosaurs and birds--it will put her back on the map and finally restore her ruined reputation.

But when unfairly hot Oxford professor James Smithson crashes Ripley's dig site, she realizes she's not the only one searching for redemption in the Montana dirt. James is convinced a splashy new fossil is a fraud, and he needs Ripley's help to prove it. She'd tell the buttoned-up Brit where to stick his suspicions, but the fake fossil is eerily similar to hers . . . and the fraudster is her ex.

The race is on to reveal a T-rex-sized discovery. Polar opposites Ripley and James will have to find common ground if they're going to take down a hoax that could ruin them both. And as they dig deeper into their unlikely attraction, Ripley's excavation boots won't be the only things getting a little dirty. . . .

After a social media post gone wrong, a literary agent runs away to look after a seaside bookshop for the summer--and forms an unlikely friendship with a charming novelist struggling with his latest idea.

Petra doesn't like books anymore--not since her career as a literary agent imploded after a social media typo went viral. Now she is stuck for six months, babysitting a little bookshop by the sea--surrounded by books that just remind her of her failure.

Ross McCloud's award-winning debut novel blew the minds of the world's literati, but that was five years ago. Now Ross and his keenly awaited second work have vanished. Something has gone wrong--horribly wrong--and Ross doesn't want to talk about it.

Marooned in Capelthorne's Bookshop miles from London, Petra can't stop thinking about all the ways she has let people down. Then she discovers Ross lurking, incognito, in the second-hand books section. Misery loves company it seems, and a kinship tentatively forms.

In the meantime, the magic of the bookshop slowly begins to enchant Petra. Soon, her book recommendations assume legendary status; she is chairing the newly formed Beach Reads Book Club; leading a weekly writing group and hosting a series of popular talks and signings by local authors. She is even starting to read again.

Petra is also finding time to help her new best friend Jess--owner of a local telephone box library--to launch the inaugural Portneath Literary Festival. What better opportunity to put the Festival on the map--says Ross--than for Petra to unveil his second novel to the world there, before re-launching her career representing him at the Frankfurt book fair? What a comeback! But can Petra find the courage to help the man she loves?

Their love of books may be re-ignited, but is that enough to save them both from their own worst enemy--themselves?

La peor tragedia del idílico vecindario de Hemlock Circle ocurrió en la residencia de Ethan Marsh. Una noche de julio, cuando tenían diez años, Ethan y su mejor amigo Billy pasaron la noche en una tienda de campaña en el jardín. A la mañana siguiente, Ethan despertó solo. Alguien había rasgado la tienda con un cuchillo y se había llevado a Billy durante la noche. Desde entonces no se volvió a saber de él.

Treinta años después, Ethan regresa a la casa de su infancia. Atormentado por pesadillas e insomnio, empieza a notar cosas extrañas en mitad de la noche. Parece que alguien merodea por el barrio a horas inusuales y lo más inquietante de todo es que comienzan a aparecer señales de la presencia de Billy. ¿Se trata de una broma cruel? ¿O Billy, al que todos creían muerto, ha regresado de algún modo?

Desesperado, Ethan inicia una búsqueda que lo reunirá con antiguos amigos y lo conducirá hacia los bosques que rodean Hemlock Circle. Bosques donde Billy aseguraba haber visto fantasmas y donde un siniestro instituto realiza investigaciones clandestinas. Así, poco a poco descubrirá que el pasado nunca desaparece y que siempre encuentra la forma de alcanzarnos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

As you get closer to the truth it becomes clearer that no place is safe.

The worst tragedy in the idyllic neighborhood of Hemlock Circle happened at Ethan Marsh's home. One July night, when they were ten, Ethan and his best friend Billy slept in a tent in the backyard. The next morning Ethan woke up alone. Someone had slashed the tent with a knife and taken Billy during the night. He was never seen again.

Thirty years later, Ethan returns to his childhood house. Tormented by nightmares and insomnia, he starts noticing strange things in the middle of the night. Someone seems to be prowling the neighborhood at odd hours and, most disturbingly, signs of Billy's presence begin to appear. Is it a cruel prank? Or is Billy, whom everyone believed dead, back in some way?

Desperate, Ethan begins a search that reunites him with old friends and leads him into the woods surrounding Hemlock Circle. Woods where Billy claimed to have seen ghosts and where a sinister institute conducts clandestine research. Thus, little by little he will discover that the past never disappears and always finds a way to reach us.

Over three generations of whispered secrets, crime, and lies in a Jewish-American family.

"Journalist Karas blends memoir and true crime in this intriguing family history. Along the way, she nimbly balances the disclosure of scandalous family secrets with a prevailing sense of empathy. It's a bruising portrait of generational trauma."
--Publisher's Weekly

The Blumenthals are one of millions of Eastern European Jewish families who immigrated to the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. Settling in Providence, Rhode Island, they grow and prosper. During Prohibition, the Blumenthals become bootleggers--starting their fraught history with alcohol and crime. Once Prohibition is repealed, Barney Blumenthal opens a liquor store in Boston. Life is good--until fate intervenes.

In May 1935, a drunk driver takes the lives of six Blumenthals, including three children. Horrific photos run in newspapers across the country. Six months later, Ronnie Blumenthal is born: a phoenix rising from the ashes of devastation, a golden child upon whose blond head the family's hopes and dreams are placed. He grows into a handsome and spoiled teenager, driving a fast convertible and surrounded by beautiful girls. The Blumenthal legacy is resurrected--until one July night in 1954, when he is arrested for murder.

The victim is his mother's seamstress, who was allegedly having an affair with his father. Newspaper and TV coverage is relentless. Ronnie pleads guilty, yet dark questions remain unanswered. Upon Ronnie's release from prison, his drunken behavior causes the family--who faithfully visited him behind bars--to finally wash their hands of him. At the end of his life, not one family member will contribute to his funeral. The once golden child is buried in a pauper's grave, etching the Blumenthal curse in stone.

A decade later, New York Times bestselling author Phyllis Karas, a Blumenthal cousin, uses her well-honed instincts as a journalist to peel back layers of long-hidden family secrets. Karas sensitively chronicles the generational trauma affecting Phillip and Rose Blumenthal's six children and their children--the fifteen Blumenthal cousins--who were left to build their lives in the fallout. The Blumenthals' story proves that, by learning from the past with care and love, curses can be broken.

After surviving a shadowed childhood marked by ghost stories and loss, Mallory Webb is ready to start fresh as a theater major at her mother's alma mater, a sanitarium turned liberal arts university in Rhode Island. Landing the lead role in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet feels like a dream--until the blood-soaked spirit she suspects caused her mother's death resurfaces after years of quiet. With nothing to go on but cryptic symbols in an old college notebook, Mallory hopes the reason behind her mother's haunting lies somewhere on campus, and resolves to find answers before she meets the same fate.

She's surprised to make an unexpected ally in Ezra Pierce, the magnetic fourth year directing the play, and takes solace in their undeniable chemistry. But Ezra is a master secret-keeper, and it's clear he knows more than he's letting on about Saskia Garin, Mallory's elusive understudy whose past eerily mirrors her own.

When an ancient, bloodthirsty evil calls to collect on a bargain that dates back to the New England vampire panic, Mallory, Ezra, and Saskia will have to untangle the tragic ways in which their histories are linked--and face the devastating consequences of their own star-crossed love story.
