A Roma, nei dintorni del 1968, la rivoluzione ha il brivido di febbraio, la faccia di Mao e le note di Bandiera rossa eseguita da Claudio Villa. Gli insorti locali hanno intanto conquistato una rinomata trattoria del circondario, "L'Antico Girarrosto", dunque anche Velletri sta per capitolare. Peccato, proprio lì stava per aprirsi il banchetto di nozze di Serena e Canio, ragazzi di quartiere, appassionati di Drupi. Tra gli invitati, accanto a papà Stelvio, anche una maga di "sapienza etnisca" e Athanor, dobermann di provata lede neofascista, amatissimo dalla sposina.

Drinking wine under the stars and splashing around in the sparkling turquoise waters of Italy and the Dalmatian Islands should be every girl’s dream. Except...it’s not all plain sailing.

Este libro cuenta las divertidas, y con frecuencia desconcertantes, experiencias de Ulpiano Pizarro en su primer año como profesor de Filosofía e Historia en secundaria, es decir, de «eso» que llaman ESO. Convertido en un verdadero lazarillo de sus alumnos, Ulpiano narra con humor y acidez el día a día en un instituto, donde deberá enfrentarse a adolescentes sobrehormonados capaces de preguntarle: «Entonces, ¿si dejo de comer fruta solo veré en blanco y negro?» o responder en un examen que «El homo eructus vivía en las tabernas».

En este ensayo, narrado como novela negra, un detective es contratado para dilucidar, con todas las evidencias de rigor, cuál es la primera novela de este género en Sonora, si Juan Justino Judicial, de Gerardo Cornejo, o La madriguera de los Cobra, de Alonso Vidal.

Naufragaba entre manuscritos de crónica del Concurso del Libro Sonorense. Tocó su turno a No toda la sangre es roja. Aquí apesta a puro noir, me dije mientras apuraba un Jack Daniel’s. Quien bautiza su trabajo con un nombre pateador tiene su primer gol anotado antes de entrar a la cancha. Este canijo es un muertero. Un tipo duro, aunque por fortuna no una máquina registradora de estadísticas criminales, porque cuando el muerto se vuelve un número condenado a ser nota de cuatro párrafos, muere por segunda vez.

Hier wird nach Märchenmanier gemordet! Jürgen Seibold, der Autor der beliebten Allgäu-Krimis, meldet sich mit einer neuen witzigen Krimireihe zurück. Robert Mondrian hat keine Lust mehr, Attentäter zu jagen und Staatsfeinde mit bloßen Händen aus dem Verkehr zu ziehen. Deswegen hat er Deutschlands geheimstem Geheimdienst den Rücken gekehrt, sich zur Ruhe gesetzt und eine Buchhandlung gekauft.

In all his travels across the state, there is one place that Hubie hasn’t been able to access: Trinity Site at the White Sands Missile Range, where the first atomic bomb was detonated. Deep within the range are ruins once occupied by the Tompiro people, whose distinctive pottery is incredibly rare and valuable. When an old associate claims to have a buyer interested in spending big money on a Tompiro pot, Hubie resolves to finally find a way into the heavily guarded military installation.

Pot thief Hubie Schuze is back, and this time his larceny is for a good cause. He wants to recover sacred relics lifted from San Roque, a mysterious pueblo that is closed to outsiders. Usually Hubie finds his pottery a few feet underground - but these artifacts are 150 feet above the New Mexico soil, on the top floor of the Rio Grande Lofts. Hubie will need all his deductive skills to craft the perfect plan - which is thwarted when he encounters the beautiful Stella. And then he is arrested for murder. That tends to happen when you are in the room with the body.

Although his work is technically illegal, Hubie Schuze has no qualms with digging up ancient Native American artifacts. The government calls him a thief, but Hubie thinks of himself as a treasure hunter - and his latest quest could be his last. After lowering himself into a cave in search of Anasazi pottery, Hubie uncovers a long-dead corpse, buried where the Anasazi would never have left a body. As he puzzles over this discovery, he hears a chilling sound: his truck, left behind on the cliff face, being driven away.

Maybe it was the chance to make an easy $2,500. Or maybe it was the opportunity to examine a treasure trove of Anasazi pots - or maybe it was just a slow day at the antiques shop that convinced Hubie Schuze to agree to a strange proposition. A reclusive collector wants a confidential appraisal, with one catch: Hubie must be blindfolded and driven to an unknown location by a chauffeur. Sure, it’s an odd setup, but what could possibly go wrong?

Before making a somewhat notorious name for himself as a salvager of antiquated pottery and other desert artifacts, Hubie Schuze was an eager student at the University of New Mexico - right up until they booted him out. Now, he’s back at UNM as a pottery teacher. It should be a breeze, but campus life has changed dramatically in the past 25 years. From cell phones to trigger warnings to sensitivity workshops, Hubie has to get up to speed fast or risk losing control of his class.
