Los crímenes del bulevar McMillan
Verano de 2018. En una lujosa residencia de Los Ángeles se cometen dos homicidios que conmueven a la opinión pública de California. La teniente Marian Weiss y su equipo investigan el caso, pero desde un principio surgen dudas sobre el móvil de los crímenes. Podría tratarse simplemente de un robo de objetos de valor que terminó de la peor manera, o quizás también podría ser un complot urdido en el marco de una sucesión multimillonaria. Las pesquisas llevarán a los investigadores a las ciudades de Las Vegas, Miami y Phoenix, además de solicitar la asistencia del FBI. A medida que avanzan en lo que parece ser un entramado conspirativo, también deben enfrentarse a las presiones de la prensa, la política, y a algunos oficiales de alto rango de su misma fuerza. Todo se transforma en una carrera desesperada, no sólo para que se haga justicia, sino también para salvar la vida de los testigos, que ya están en la mira de aquellos que no quieren que la verdad salga a la luz. El sentido del deber, así como el amor incondicional, se harán presentes en esta atrapante novela que, indefectiblemente, conducirá al lector a un desenlace sorprendente.
Operación Índigo
Un clan político en el poder. Un país sometido. Una solución tan prometedora como siniestra. En un futuro distópico, la República Argentina es una democracia, aunque solo en apariencias; la rige un régimen populista y autoritario, que se mantiene en la política mediante comicios fraudulentos y reprimiendo impiadosamente a cualquier forma de disidencia. El primer mandatario aspira a que la organización partidaria que fundó se perpetúe en el poder. A tal fin, y con la complicidad de un dignatario eclesiástico —tan eminente como perverso—, urde un complot para impulsar la candidatura de Eva Perón a la beatificación, como paso obligado a su eventual canonización. Un suceso que,...
Sectoral Systems of Innovation and Production in Developing Countries
Over the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in the quantity and quality of research focused on the processes through which technological capabilities are acquired by countries significantly behind the economic frontier, and the institutions that effectively support the catching up process. This book is a splendid contribution to this literature. The concept of a sectoral innovation system is well suited for framing studies of these kinds of questions, and serves well to unify the many interesting empirical studies in the book.

The Political Economy of Latin American Independence
Although historians usually trace its origins to the Haitian Revolution of the late 18th Century, Latin American political, economic and cultural emancipation is still very much a work in progress. As new national identities were developed, fresh reflection and theorising was needed in order to understand how Latin America related to the wider world. Through a series of case studies on different topics and national experiences, this volume shows how political economy has occupied an important place in discussions about emancipation and independence that occurred in the region. The production of political economic knowledge in the periphery of capitalism can take on many forms: importing idea...
