Depraved
'This is must reading for crime buffs. DEPRAVED demonstrates that sadistic psychopaths are not a modern day phenomena... gruesome, awesome, compelling reporting.' ANNE RULE. Here is the macabre story of H.H. Holmes, architect of the infamous 'Castle of Horror', whose labyrinth of trapdoors, stairways to nowhere, bedchambers fitted with peepholes and asphyxiating gas pipes, greased body chutes, and a cellar equipped with acid vats, a crematorium, and dissecting table, became an unspeakable domain of torture and murder. With stark, ghastly detail, DEPRAVED takes you into the mind of this evil genius - who alternatively posed as doctor, druggist, and inventor to snare his prey in 19th Century Chicago - and reveals a mesmerizing tale of true detection before the age of technological wizardry.

Les petjades dels herois
1960. La marató dels Jocs Olímpics de Roma està a punt de començar. Al costat de tots els favorits hi ha un desconegut, un estíop descalç anomenat Abebe Bikila. Dues hores i setze minuts més tard, la seva victòria formarà part de la història d'aquesta prova èpica com una nova gesta. En aquest llibre, Arcadi Alibés relata les històries apassionants que han marcat totes les maratons olímpiques, les dels grans Emil Zatopek, Dorando Pietri, Féliz Carvajal i tants altres. I també ens explica la seva pròpia experiència en cadascuna d'elles, perquè, seguint les petjades dels herois, el periodista és a un pas de convertir-se en el primer corredor del món que completa les maratons de les vint-i-dues seus olímpiques. Glòria, drama i tragèdia en un llibre imprescindible que contagia la passió de l'autor per una prova mítica.
El llibre de les ànimes
El futur de la humanitat és un secret ocult entre les pàgines d'un llibre antic. Un llibre que va ser escrit amb sang l’any 1297 per un orde d’escrivans de cabells vermells i ulls verds que semblaven tocats per la gràcia divina o bé per la mà del diable. El llibre que conté la clau del secret més gran de tots els temps i que va inspirar genis com Shakespeare i visionaris com Nostradamus, ha desaparegut. Will Piper, l’agent de l’FBI que va resodre el cas del “Judici final”, torna a submergir-se en els secrets i els enigmes de la Biblioteca dels Morts per seguir la pista del misteriós volum que s’ha mantingut soterrat per la pols de la història durant molts segles. La recerca de l’agent Piper es convertirà en un infern, una obsessió que comportarà, inevitablement, més dolor, dubtes i sang. Hi ha misteris que cal mantenir ocults i veritats perilloses que és millor no conèixer. El llibre de les ànimes no pot sortir a la llum perquè el secret que oculta és el nostre destí.
