El restaurador de arte y legendario espía Gabriel Allon debe resolver el crimen perfecto en la impactante nueva historia de asesinatos, codicia y corrupción del novelista bestseller del New York Times, Daniel Silva.

«Daniel Silva teje una trama mejor que cualquier otro autor vivo, y agradezco la oportunidad de sumergirme en un gran libro, aunque solo sea por una noche (una vez que empiezo un libro de Silva, no puedo dejarlo)». --Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books

A veces, la única forma de recuperar una obra maestra robada es volver a robarla...

Gabriel Allon ha recibido el encargo de restaurar uno de los cuadros más importantes de Venecia. Pero cuando descubre el cadáver de una misteriosa mujer flotando en las aguas de la laguna veneciana, se ve envuelto en una carrera desesperada para recuperar una obra maestra perdida de Leonardo da Vinci.

El cuadro, un retrato de una hermosa joven, ha estado acumulando polvo en un almacén de los Museos Vaticanos durante más de un siglo, atribuido erróneamente y oculto bajo un cuadro sin valor de un artista desconocido. Como nadie sabe que el Leonardo está allí, nadie se da cuenta cuando desaparece una noche durante un sospechoso apagón. Nadie, excepto los despiadados mafiosos y hombres de negocios que están detrás del robo, y la misteriosa mujer que Gabriel encontró en una tumba acuática en Venecia. Una mujer sin nombre. Una mujer sin rostro.

La acción se desarrolla a una velocidad vertiginosa desde las galerías y casas de subastas de Londres hasta un enclave de riqueza inimaginable en la Costa Azul francesa y, finalmente, hasta un impactante clímax en la Plaza de San Pedro, donde la vida de un papa pende de un hilo. Un elegante y sofisticado viaje por el lado oscuro del mundo del arte y las turbias finanzas del Vaticano, esta novela demuestra una vez más que Daniel Silva es el maestro indiscutible de la intriga y el suspense internacionales.

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon must solve the perfect crime in the dazzling new tale of murder, greed, and corruption from #1 New York Times bestselling novelist Daniel Silva.

"Daniel Silva spins a yarn better than any living author and I appreciated the chance to disappear into a great book, if only for a single night (there is no stopping a Silva book once I've begun). --Todd Wilkins, Best Thriller Books

Sometimes the only way to recover a stolen masterpiece is to steal it back . . .

Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft -- and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face.

The action moves at breakneck speed from the galleries and auction houses of London to an enclave of unimaginable wealth on the French Riviera -- and, finally, to a shocking climax in St. Peter's Square, where the life of a pope hangs in the balance. An elegant and stylish journey through the dark side of the art world and the Vatican's murky finances, An Inside Job proves once again that Daniel Silva is the reigning master of international intrigue.

BURNED is a collection of stories, poems, essays, and artwork exploring fire-in ways both real and imagined-and its impact on our lives.

Fire is humanity's greatest tool. Our ability to control it, shape it, wield it has made us the dominant species on the planet. Fire cooked our food, heated our homes, and kept us safe at night. But our relationship with fire is a precarious one. Like a lion tamer, we must always be prepared for our servant to, at times, become our master-and while fire is just one of many things that has the power to decimate our lives, it is perhaps one of the most prolific.

BURNED's authors are from communities across California, and some even as far as England. But the heart of this project was forged in Altadena, CA, and includes stories from several authors who lost their homes in the Eaton Fire.

The profits from this book will be donated to Side Street Projects to support creative people in the Altadena community.

Thankfully, his devoted dog Compass and neighborhood animals sense his struggle. With their loving guidance, Vincent reconnects with his inner strength and passion for the environment.

A touching story reminding children that it's okay to be different-and that your true path is always within reach.

Laughton Rees is back in the latest novel from the bestselling author of the Sanctus trilogy--this time, with a case that hits uncomfortably close to home and threatens the thing Laughton values most: her daughter.

When a body with no head or hands turns up in the river Thames Forensic specialist Laughton Rees is called in to consult. But what at first seems to be a typical, if gruesome case, quickly turns personal when it becomes apparent the body has a connection to Laughton's past.

Laughton is not ashamed of her youthful indiscretions-- after all, they led to the birth of her daughter Gracie, the person she loves most in the world--but when this new case unexpectedly leads to Gracie's father turning up in their lives again, Laughton is automatically wary.

Shelby Facer is a dangerous man, formerly imprisoned for his involvement in an international drug trafficking ring, and no matter what Laughton once felt for him, she doesn't want him anywhere near Gracie. But when Shelby claims he can identify the victim, she can't turn down his help.

The headless body seems to belong to a man who was part of a highly secretive smuggling ring Shelby was involved with during his and Laughton's youth--which Laughton's father, former commissioner for the Metropolitan police, was investigating before he died.

Laughton throws herself into her father's old files to try to trace the connections between past and present, but as she and DCI Tannahill Khan circle closer to the truth, the killer circles closer to them. When another body turns up, mutilated just like the first, the victim is no stranger to Laughton. She'll have to face the darkest parts of her past to find the man behind the murders--before he takes away everything she loves.

TWO GUNSHOTS. A HASTY SUICIDE VERDICT. AND A CITY DETERMINED TO BURY THE TRUTH ALONGSIDE THE BODY.

In the autumn of 1885, the Gilded Age splendor of Newport, Rhode Island, was shattered. Benjamin J. Burton-a prominent Black entrepreneur-was found dead on his kitchen floor with a gunshot to his head, another to his heart, and unchewed bread still in his mouth.

Despite the bizarre scene, authorities moved with suspicious haste, declaring it a suicide and burying Burton without an inquest. But as whispers of a cover-up began to circulate, the truth could no longer be ignored.

A Harbor of Deceit follows an unlikely trio forced to navigate a community fractured by the accusation of patricide, and a tangled web of uncooperative authorities to find justice:

• P.J. Galvin: The son of an Irish immigrant and the youngest member of the Newport bar, thrust into a spotlight he never asked for.
• The Pinkerton Detective: A gritty New York investigator who specializes in the secrets people kill to keep.
• Aunt Emily: Burton's formidable sister-in-law, a woman who refuses to let anyone silence her family's tragedy.

As the investigation deepens, the spotlight turns toward Burton's own family-specifically his son-in-law, a brilliant medical student on the verge of becoming one of the country's first Black surgeons. When a deathbed confession reveals a cold-blooded plot to fund a medical education with a father's life, Newport is split in two. Is it a case of ruthless ambition, or is an innocent man being framed?

Based on the popular non-fiction account featured in Smithsonian Magazine and Narratively, this is the haunting true story of a 19th-century crime that riveted a nation. It is a masterful exploration of a courtroom drama where the line between guilt and innocence is blurred by the shadows of the Gilded Age.

"Kay Adams and Nancy Markey combine meticulous historical research with masterful and intimate storytelling. The result is a dynamic page-turner... a forgotten case that demands attention." - Brendan Spiegel, founder and editor, Narratively

A sweeping new history of the changing meaning of work in the United States, from Horatio Alger to Instagram influencers.

How Americans think about work changed profoundly over the course of the twentieth century. Now, it's not enough for a worker to be reliable; they are also increasingly expected to show initiative, creating new opportunities for themselves and their employer. Our culture of work today is more demanding than ever, even though workers haven't seen commensurate rewards.

Make Your Own Job explains how this entrepreneurial work ethic took hold, from its origins in late nineteenth-century success literature to the gig economy of today. Business schools and consultants exhorted managers to cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit in their subordinates, while self-help authors synthesized new ideas from psychology into a vision of work as "self-realization." Policy experts embraced the new ethic as a remedy for poverty. Everyone got on board: Marcus Garvey and Henry Ford, Avon ladies and New Age hippies.

Historian Erik Baker argues that the entrepreneurial ethic has given meaning to work in a world where employment is ever more precarious--and in doing so, has legitimized mounting economic insecurity and inequality. Where work is hard to find and nostrums about diligent effort fall flat, the advice to "make your own job" keeps hope alive.
