Summary:

Resumen:

The year is 1954. U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule, have come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate the disappearance of a patient. Multiple-murderess Rachel Solando is loose somewhere on this barren island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant surveillance. As a killer hurricane bears relentlessly down on them, a strange case takes on even darker, more sinister shades—with hints of radical experimentation, horrifying surgeries, and lethal countermoves made in the cause of a covert shadow war. No one is going to escape Shutter Island unscathed, because nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is remotely what it seems.

La novela en la que se basa la nueva película de Martin Scorsese. Shutter Island está cerca de Boston. Es una pequeña isla en la que tan sólo destaca el Hospital Ashecliffe, un centro penitenciario para enfermos mentales. El agente federal Teddy Daniels y su compañero, Chuck Aule, acaban de desembarcar. Un peligroso asesino se ha escapado pese a las férreas medidas de seguridad. No podrá salir de la diminuta isla, así que Daniels tan sólo mira el reloj. Una rutina más. Así una novela imposible de olvidar, impredecible, que nos condenará a leer obsesivamente...

Summary:

Resumen:

Inside burning buildings, Captain Caleb Holt lives by the firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner. Yet at home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules. Growing up, his wife Catherine always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter . . . just like her father. Now, after seven years of marriage, she wonders when she stopped being "good enough." Countless arguments and anger have them wanting to move on to something with more sparks. As they prepare for divorce, Caleb's father challenges him to commit to a 40-day experiment: "The Love Dare." Wondering if it's even worth the effort, Caleb agrees, for his father's sake more than for his marriage. Surprised by what he discovers about the meaning of love, Caleb ...

El matrimonio de Caleb y Catherine está a punto de irse a pique. Como jefe de una unidad de bomberos él se ha ganado la reputación de héroe local, pero su mujer parece ser la única que no sabe valorarle. Ella dirige las relaciones públicas de un hospital y la vida le sonríe profesionalmente, pero al llegar a casa sólo encuentra incomprensión. Cuando la relación entre ambos parece haber llegado a un punto de no retorno, Caleb recibe una propuesta singular, que le exigirá un coraje especial, distinto al que está acostumbrado a demostrar en su trabajo. Será la última oportunidad de salvar la llama que un día prendió entre él y Catherine. Ambos deberán comprobar qué había de verdad en las promesas que se hicieron el día de la boda.

Ridley Jones has been living a lie. A mysterious package showed up on her doorstep one morning and the beautiful lie she used to call her life was over. Suddenly, everyone in she knows feels like a stranger. She has no idea who's on her side and who has something to hide—even her new lover, Jake, might have disturbing secrets of his own.

Now she's determined to find out the truth, even if it means risking her life. Ridley embarks on a breathtaking pursuit where every choice she makes sets off a whirlwind of consequences that are as frightening as they are shocking.

La periodista Ridley Jones recibe un día la visita del FBI y una desagradable sorpresa: en varias de las fotografías que ha tomado durante sus vacaciones, aparece siempre un misterioso personaje confundido entre la multitud. El fantasma de su tío Max Smiley, su padre biológico, el hombre al que quiso toda su vida y que demostró tener un lado oscuro y criminal, vuelve a acecharla. Lo sorprendente es que Max está muerto y la propia Ridley vio quemar su cuerpo? De nuevo, su frágil mundo se desmorona y deja a la vista una realidad demasiado cruel para creerla. Y, como antes, sabe que ha de seguir intentado descubrir la verdad? aunque le cueste la vida. Lisa Unger demostró con su primera novela, Mentiras piadosas, que sabe mantener al lector atrapado hasta la última página. En esta esperada secuela volvemos a seguir los pasos de su personaje Ridley Jones en una espiral de engaño, tensión y violencia.

From the Publisher:

In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, in his fourteenth year as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan took part in a very quiet collective effort to ensure that America didn't experience an economic meltdown, taking the rest of the world with it. There was good reason to fear the worst: the stock market crash of October 1987, his first major crisis as Federal Reserve Chairman, coming just weeks after he assumed control, had come much closer than is even today generally known to freezing the financial system and triggering a genuine financial panic. But the most remarkable thing that happened to the economy after 9/11 was...nothing. What in an earlier day would have meant a crippling shock to the system was absorbed astonishingly quickly.

After 9/11 Alan Greenspan knew, if he needed any further reinforcement, that we're living in a new world-the world of a global capitalist economy that is vastly more flexible, resilient, open, self-directing, and fast-changing than it was even 20 years ago. It's a world that presents us with enormous new possibilities but also enormous new challenges. The Age of Turbulence is Alan Greenspan's incomparable reckoning with the nature of this new world-how we got here, what we're living through, and what lies over the horizon, for good and for ill-channeled through his own experiences working in the command room of the global economy for longer and with greater effect than any other single living figure. He begins his account on that September 11th morning, but then leaps back to his childhood, and follows the arc of his remarkable life's journey through to his more than 18-year tenure as Chairman of the FederalReserve Board, from 1987 to 2006, during a time of transforming change.

Alan Greenspan shares the story of his life first simply with an eye toward doing justice to the extraordinary amount of history he has experienced and shaped. But his other goal is to draw readers along the same learning curve he followed, so they accrue a grasp of his own understanding of the underlying dynamics that drive world events. In the second half of the book, having brought us to the present and armed us with the conceptual tools to follow him forward, Dr. Greenspan embarks on a magnificent tour de horizon of the global economy. He reveals the universals of economic growth, delves into the specific facts on the ground in each of the major countries and regions of the world, and explains what the trend-lines of globalization are from here. The distillation of a life's worth of wisdom and insight into an elegant expression of a coherent worldview, The Age of Turbulence will stand as Alan Greenspan's personal and intellectual legacy.

El guru de la economia estadounidense. Cual Oraculo de Delfos, en los ultimos años sus palabras han alcanzado tal relevancia que un adjetivo de mas o de menos provoca reacciones inmediatas en las Bolsas del Mundo.
