En los Valles Tranquilos no gusta desenterrar secretos ni revelar verdades. Prepárate para la noche más larga. LA NUEVA NOVELA DE DOLORES REDONDO. La psicóloga forense Nash Elizondo documenta el origen de una leyenda sobre brujería en la sima de Legarrea, en uno de los Valles Tranquilos de Navarra, pero cuando desciende a la sima lo que halla es el cadáver de una joven desaparecida tres años atrás, Andrea Dancur; un caso que conmocionó al país entero, y por cuyo crimen una mujer cumple prisión.

The second book in Dolores Redondo's atmospheric Baztan trilogy, featuring Inspector Amaia Salazar. A year after arresting Jason Medina for the rape and murder of his step-daughter, Detective Inspector Amaia Salazar has one last duty to complete before starting her maternity leave - attending Medina's trial. When the trial is suddenly called off, Amaia is appalled. But the judge had no choice. Jason Medina has committed suicide in the bathroom of the courthouse, leaving behind a cryptic note addressed to Amaia: the single word ‘Tarttalo'.

Amaia Salazar, a young detective from the north of Spain, has joined a group of trainees at the FBI Academy in Virginia. Haunted by her past and having already tracked down a predator on her own, Amaia is no typical rookie. And this is no ordinary student lecture at Quantico. FBI agent Aloisius Dupree is already well acquainted with Amaia’s skills, her intuition, and her ability to understand evil. He now needs her help in hunting an elusive serial killer dubbed “the Composer,” and in solving another case that’s been following him his whole life.

In Pamplona, capital of Navarra, Amaia Salazar is called in to investigate the death of a baby girl. The baby has red marks on her face, indicating she has been murdered. According to the girl's grandmother, the father tried to run away with the body, uttering something about an offering. She also mentions the Inguma - an evil being of Basque mythology that kills people in their sleep. The investigation takes Amaia and her team to the nearby valley of Baztan, where there have been an abnormally high number of similar cases - and some procedural irregularities.

A strange encounter with a little girl named Claudia and a dead toad sparks elderly detective fiction fan Rachel Murdock's obsessive curiosity, and she winds up renting the house next door just to see how things play out. But soon after she and her cat Samantha move in, Rachel realizes they've landed right in the middle of a deadly love triangle that's created animosity among the three families who now surround her.

Unable to stop herself from investigating another murder, Rachel Murdock gets plenty of help from Samantha, the cat who follows her wherever she goes; her much less adventurous sister Jennifer; and Lieutenant Mayhew, who is grateful to have another sharp mind on the case. Miss Rachel, her sister, and her cat are watching with undisguised interest a bandy-legged man who is spying on a house across the street until a speeding black sedan runs him down. The sisters are curious to know why the man was murdered.

Walking home wearily from an evening spent poring over the books of the Parchly Heights Methodist Ladies' Aid searching for a fifty-eight-cent error, Miss Jennifer Murdock becomes witness to a terrible scene: A man, stumbling drunk, arrives home–and just as he fumbles with his keys, gunfire erupts and kills him on the spot.

When Rachel Murdock and her sister Jennifer receive a call for help from their favorite niece, Lilly, in Breakers Beach, California, they quickly hop a train from Los Angeles to see her-but not before collecting their prized cat Samantha in a picnic basket and bringing her along for the ride.

Ci sono indagini che ti costringono a mettere in gioco tutti gli affetti più cari. Ci sono assassini che ti costringono ad affrontare il tuo lato oscuro, a fare i conti con gli spettri e i segreti del passato, a rivivere ricordi che nemmeno sapevi di avere. Lo sa bene Amaia Salazar, brillante investigatrice, ma soprattutto una donna felice, prossima al parto, che vorrebbe dedicare il cuore e la mente solo all'imminente maternità.

Der Mörder und Vergewaltiger Jasón Medina steht in Pamplona vor Gericht. Doch plötzlich bricht der Richter die Verhandlung ab, denn der Angeklagte hat sich auf der Toilette im Gerichtsgebäude die Pulsadern aufgeschlitzt.

Deb Pines' fourth Chautauqua murder mystery starts with a bang - when Maureen Donahue, a filmmaker and speaker at the historic Chautauqua Institution is killed at a raucous Fourth of July concert. There's a quick arrest. But reporter and relentless snoop Mimi Goldman, even with her wedding to plan, is on the case. Her questions about a racist personal trainer, shadowy piano teacher, chatty "chime master" and others lead to more questions - and to Mimi unearthing an ugly secret that points her to the real killer.

This audio tale starts with Mimi being asked to find Jenny Van Alstine, a beautiful-but-impossible feminist artist, who has disappeared from the Chautauqua Institution, a quirky, churchy, historic, Victorian cottage-filled, lakeside summer arts community in western New York. Mimi digs in. And while writing for the tiny Chautauquan Daily and deciding whether to move in with her beau Walt, she unearths a surprising number of Jenn-emies: haters, lovers, secret-keepers - and one killer determined to stop Mimi before she stops them.
