About this deal

Jon isn’t fat enough for his boss to take him to task for it. Besides, the captain has far worse things to throw at him. To throw at him and to throw him off the force. In fact, Jon is suspended from duties without pay, officially.

He’s approached by a secretive organization that works in the shadows to direct criminal investigations of a highly sensitive nature. All he has to do is succeed where many others have failed: convince a recalcitrant Antonia to come out of her self-imposed retirement, protecting her and helping her investigate a new, terrifying case. Well, in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else—if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.” Es un libro que empieza con buen ritmo y una trama interesante. Dos personajes variopintos: Jon y Antonia, que la primera impresión es que a ver cual de los dos está peor y un cadáver cuyo asesinato hay que resolver por estos dos personajes fuera del sistema, con todos los medios disponibles y unas capacidades "especiales". Para concluir, tampoco le vendría mal (al menos a la edición digital) una revisión ortográfica, aunque he visto casos mucho más graves.

Best thriller books of 2023 . . . What impresses is the brainy brio of Gómez-Jurado's storytelling' - Sunday Times on Red Queen The captain stands up, breathing heavily, and his righteous indignation propels him out of the room. As if he himself never tampered with evidence, stretched the penal code, or laid one trap here, another there. Allegedly. But he’d never been stupid enough to get caught. Es un libro que me estaba gustando mucho su lectura, que estaba deseando llegar al final para conocer el desenlace y cuando estoy llegando al final, me encuentro que el autor, en lugar de lucirse, ha cerrado más o menos la historia de forma precipitada, dejándose algunos cabos sueltos, con poca continuidad en las escenas, introduciendo la existencia de nuevas variables y otros personajes, ... porque parece que su objetivo al final del libro, no era rematarlo, era otro, y eso Sr. Gómez-Jurado, no se hace. Para cumplir "tu objetivo" tan descarado, primero haz bien el primero y si me gusta y me convence, seguramente continúe con el resto de tus libros. Mister White, who always makes other people kill his objectives, and who can make killings seem accidents or illnesses, decides to try to kill Antonia himself? ah... a perfect way to end the book, more head-scratching senselessness. PerIt’s a mystery and a thriller and does both equally well (few books pull that off). I was engaged from start to finish—I wanted to know more about Antonia, enjoyed learning about Jon and needed to know how the story would resolve itself. It has fantastic pacing and will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first chapter to the last….you won’t want to put it down. Kidnappings, murders, car chases, subterranean pursuits, bombings, gun fights, and shadowy figures on both sides of the action. There is also a good exploration of what’s important in life and some powerful psychological drama throughout. Prime Video offers customers a vast collection of movies, series, and sport related content—all available to watch on hundreds of compatible devices. the speed at which her body would hit the ground if she jumped from the window in front of her;the number of milligrams of Propofol required to enjoy eternal rest;how long and at what temperature she would need to be submerged in an icy lake for hypothermia to stifle her heartbeats.In those three minutes, Antonia plans a way to get hold of a controlled substance like Propofol (bribing a nurse) and finds out where the nearest icy lake is at this time of year (Laguna Negra in Soria). She prefers not to think about jumping from her loft, because the skylight is quite narrow, and she suspects the disgusting food served in the hospital cafeteria has gone straight to her hips.
