Mi amada Pícara, Ljudbok
Soberbio, engreído, petulante, vanidoso... son algunos de los adjetivos que utilizan aquellos que conocen a Trevor Reform, dueño del club de caballeros más famoso de Londres, para describirlo. El poder que le proporciona el dinero le ha hecho olvidar su origen humilde, transformándolo en un ser despreciable, apático y deshumanizado. Pero el destino se afanará en recordarle quién es en realidad... Tras hallar a la causante del mayor problema que ha tenido desde que abrió el club, Trevor se obsesiona con alejarla cuanto antes del local. Para ello, elabora un plan, tan aparentemente perfecto, que no duda, ni un solo segundo, en que logrará su objetivo. Sin embargo, lo que él no sabe es que, una vez que se siente al lado de la persona que puede destruirlo para siempre, todo aquello que había planeado desaparecerá de un plumazo. ¿Por qué será incapaz de ceñirse al plan? ¿Por qué le resultará imposible dejarla marchar? Tal vez porque en el fondo ansía saber quién es Valeria Giesler y descubrir el motivo por el que no puede pensar en nada salvo en mantenerla bajo su protección. "Mi amada Pícara" es la quinta y última novela autoconclusiva en la exitosa serie "Los Caballeros" escrita por Dama Beltrán.

Killing Commendatore
The ambitious major new novel from this internationally celebrated writer, on the scale of his bestselling 1Q84 The painter's wife has left him for a younger man. Taking some time away from Tokyo, he starts looking after the empty house of a famous artist, Tomohiko Amada. Not long after he moves in, a scraping sound in the attic leads him to find a carefully wrapped canvas, labelled 'Killing Commendatore'. This unusual painting leads him to delve into Amada's life story and those of his neighbours. It also brings him into contact with a strange parallel universe, from which the Commendatore himself emerges. When his neighbour's daughter vanishes, the painter must embark on a quest that leads him back to a tragedy in his own past. A profound engagement with art and its creation, Killing Commendatore asks whether confronting the past can ever bring comfort, or just more pain? Ambitious, haunting, and multi-layered, it is reminiscent of Murakami's masterpiece The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, and takes his narrative art in new and exciting directions.
