About this listen
La fascinante y nueva entrega de la serie protagonizada por Washington Poe.
El sargento Washington Poe está en la corte, luchando contra el desalojo de su amada y aislada granja, cuando lo citan a un burdel callejero en Carlisle, donde un hombre ha sido asesinado a golpes con un bate de béisbol. Todo hace indicar que es un simple asesinato por parte de un proxeneta, pero su asistencia fue solicitada personalmente, por el tipo de personas que prefieren permanecer en las sombras.
A medida que Poe y su inseparable compañera Tilly Bradshaw profundizan en el caso, se enfrentan a preguntas aparentemente sin respuesta: a pesar de haber sido examinados exhaustivamente para un trabajo de alto perfil, ¿por qué no se verifica nada en los antecedentes de la víctima? ¿Por qué se dejó un pequeño adorno en la escena del crimen y por qué alguien del equipo de investigación lo robó? ¿Y cuál es la conexión con un atraco a un banco perfectamente ejecutado tres años antes, un atraco en el que no se llevaron absolutamente nada?
M. W. Craven nació en Carlisle pero creció en Newcastle donde se unió al ejército con tan solo dieciséis años de edad. Pasó los siguientes diez años viajando por el mundo. En 1995 estudió una maestría en trabajo social especializada en criminología. Ahora se decía en exclusiva a la escritura. Actualmente está casado y vive en Carlisle con su esposa. El show de las marionetas, Verano negro, El procurador y Zona muerta son las cuatro novelas protagonizadas por Washington Poe ya publicadas en España.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.
