Una novela terroríficamente brillante. Tras recibir una extraña carta de su prima recién casada, Noemí Taboada se dirige a High Place, una casa en el campo en México, sin saber qué encontrará allí. Noemí no parece tener dotes de salvadora: es glamurosa, más acostumbrada a asistir a cócteles que a las tareas de detective. Pero también es fuerte, inteligente y no tiene miedo: ni del nuevo marido de su prima, un inglés amenazante y seductor; ni de su padre, el antiguo patriarca que parece fascinado por Noemí; ni de la casa, que empieza a invadir los sueños de Noemí con visiones de sangre y fatalidad.

Lauréat du Dayton Literary Peace Prize, un court roman stupéfiant d'intensité, un texte riche, souvent dérangeant, sur un passé qui n'en finit pas de résonner. Je n'ai pas été un nazi. Ce que je veux te raconter ne concerne ni des atrocités, ni un génocide. Je n'ai pas vu les camps de la mort et je ne suis pas qualifié pour en dire un seul mot. J'ai lu le livre de Primo Levi sur ce sujet, comme tout le monde. Sauf qu'en le lisant, "nous, les Allemands", nous sommes obligés de penser : Nous avons commis cela.

Thanks to the invidious reputation of his most famous work, The Prince, Niccolo` Machiavelli exerts a unique hold over the popular imagination. But was Machiavelli as sinister as he is often thought to be? In Machiavelli: His Life and Times, Alexander Lee reveals the man behind the myth, following him from cradle to grave, from his father's penury and the abuse he suffered at a teacher's hands, to his marriage and his many affairs (with both men and women), to his political triumphs and, ultimately, his fall from grace and exile.

Someone at the retreat has apparently iced the bartender, a well-known flirt with a legendary temper - that is, before a killer beat him to the punch.
