Summary: From the author of A Dangerous Duet comes the next book in her Victorian mystery series, this time following a daring female painter and the Scotland Yard detective who is investigating her brother's suspicious death. A young painter digs beneath the veneer of Victorian London's art world to learn the truth behind her brother's murder... Edwin is dead. That's what Inspector Matthew Hallam of Scotland Yard tells Annabel Rowe when she discovers him searching her brother's flat for clues. While the news is shocking, Annabel can't say it's wholly unexpected, given Edwin's past as a dissolute risk-taker and art forger, although he swore he'd reformed. After years spent blaming his reckless behavior for their parents' deaths, Annabel is now faced with the question of who murdered him--because Edwin's death was both violent and deliberate. A valuable French painting he'd been restoring for an auction house is missing from his studio: find the painting, find the murderer. But the owner of the artwork claims it was destroyed in a warehouse fire years ago. As a painter at the prestigious Slade School of Art and as Edwin's closest relative, Annabel makes the case that she is crucial to Matthew's investigation. But in their search for the painting, Matthew and Annabel trace a path of deceit and viciousness that reaches far beyond the elegant rooms of the auction house, into an underworld of politics, corruption, and secrets someone will kill to keep.

Summary: Sebastian Rudd no es el típico abogado: lleva arma y su oficina es una camioneta a prueba de balas conducida por su guardaespaldas, que a su vez es su asistente legal y único amigo. Difiende a quienes otros no querrían ni ver: un drogadicto, un chico tautado que supuestamente forma parte de un culto satánico acusado de acosar y matar a dos niñas pequeñas, un criminal en el corredor de la muerte, un hombre arrestado por disparar a unos agentes de las fuerzas especiales al entrar por error en su casa ... ¿Por qué estos clientes? Porque cree que todo el mundo tiene derecho a un juicio justo, incluso aunque él tenga que hacer trampa para conseguirlo. Odia la injusticia, no le gustan las aseguradoras, los bancos o las grandes empresas, desconfia de cualquier persona que tenga que ver con el Gobierno y se ríe de las nociones del sistema judicial sobre comportamiento ético. Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won't go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one.

Summary: Melvin Mars, asesino convicto, está contando las últimas horas antes de su ejecución, impuesta por haber dado muerte a sus propios padres de forma violenta dos décadas antes, cuando recibe un inesperado indulto: otro hombre ha confesado el crimen. Amos Decker, que se acaba de incorporar a una fuerza especial del FBI, se interesa en el caso tras descubrir unas llamativas similitudes con su propia vida: ambos hombres eran talentosos jugadores de fútbol americano, cuyas prometedoras carreras habían sido truncadas por tragedias. Las familias de ambos hombres habían sido brutalmente asesinadas. Y en ambos casos, años después de los asesinatos otra persona confesaba el crimen. Una persona que podría --o no-- estar diciendo la verdad. La confesión tiene el potencial de hacer de Melvin Mars un hombre libre, sea o no culpable. ¿Quién quiere que Mars salga de la prisión? Y ¿por qué ahora? Cuando un miembro del equipo de Decker desaparece, se torna evidente que hay algo mucho más importante y más sinestro en juego, que la vida de un convicto. Decker necesitará todo el poder de su extraordinario cerebro para evitar que un hombre inocente acabe ejecutado. Melvin Mars awaits his fate on Death Row. He was one of America's most promising football stars until, aged twenty-years-old, he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his parents just as he was due to begin a very lucrative contract with the NFL. When Amos Decker, newly appointed special agent with the FBI, hears the news that Melvin was saved in the final seconds before his execution because someone has confessed to the killings, he persuades his boss to allow him to carry out an investigation into the Mars murders.

Summary: In this novel the author takes you back to where it all began in A Time to Kill. Now we return to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial; a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County to confront its tortured history. Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row? -- From book jacket. "Seth Hubbard está muriéndose de cáncer y ha decidido acabar con su vida. Es un hombre rico que no se fía de nadie, ni siquiera de su propia familia. Antes de ahorcarse en un árbol, escribe a mano un nuevo testamento, aunque sabe muy bien que esté escrito provocará una lucha encarnizada entre sus hijos y su sirvienta negra, la heredera principal. Jake Brigance es el abogado que recibirá este testamento por correo y que tendrá que defender la última voluntad de Hubbard. ¿Por qué decidió Seth dejar su gran fortuna a su sirvienta? ¿Estaba en su sano juicio después de los largos tratamientos de quimioterapia y de la ingestión continua de fuertes analgésicos? En La herencia, John Grisham nos transporta otra vez al mundo de Clanton, aquel pueblo sureño de su primera novela, Tiempo de matar. Han pasado tres años desde que Jake Brigance, el joven abogado blanco, se encargó de la defensa del padre de una niña negra violada que se había tomado la justicia por su mano. De nuevo, los ricos y los pobres, los blancos y los negros, toman partido y dividen el pueblo."--Page 4 of cover.

Summary: This is how wars are fought now: by children, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s. Children have become soldiers of choice. In the more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child soldiers. Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell and survived. Ishmael Beah, now 25 years old, tells how at the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts.--From publisher description.
