Аннотация
Ulises Nicanor Owen es un periodista retirado convertido en detective aficionado que es contratado por una importante editorial para resolver el misterio de la desaparición de su más afamada bestseller. Su investigación lo lleva a recorrer las calles de la Ciudad de México y el centro de La Habana Vieja. ¿El último caso de U.N Owen está relacionado con la desaparición de Agatha Christie, reina indiscutible del relato detectivezco, hace casi 100 años? ¿Acaso una de las más aclamadas novelas de la autora británica tiene relación con un crimen cometido en México en la época moderna? ¿Hasta dónde es capaz de llegar una persona para publicar un libro?
En este libro el misterio se anuncia de inmediato; se requiere de la atención del lector para descifrar los enigmas y acertijos que lo van envolviendo en la trama. El título es un interesante oxímoron que se empareja con los protagonistas: Patricia Adler, dulce y perversa, Owen, inquieto detective y escritor, y el fantasmal Taibo Jacques, una leyenda entre el gremio editorial. Con una prosa aparentemente sencilla y una estructura metaficcional, Eduardo J. Pérez Ríos escribe Nieves en La Habana, su primera novela corta, con un fino razonamiento deductivo salpicado de humor.

A Change is Gonna Come chronicles more than forty years of black music: from the hopeful, angry refrains of the Freedom movement to the slick pop of Motown; from Woodstock and the 'Summer of Love' to Vietnam and the race riots; from disco inferno to the Million Man March. This is an insightful and riveting study which looks at the place black music occupies in social history, its battle for the desegregation of popular music and its contribution to social change outside the recording studio

'Utterly wonderful' NINA STIBBE, author of Love, Nina
Twenty hours have gone since I last wrote. I have been thinking of you. I shall think of you until I post this, and until you get it. Can you feel, as you read these words, that I am thinking of you now; aglow, alive, alert at the thought that you are in the same world, and by some strange chance loving me.
In September 1943, Chris Barker was serving as a signalman in North Africa when he decided to brighten the long days of war by writing to old friends. One of these was Bessie Moore, a former work colleague. The unexpected warmth of Bessie's reply changed their lives forever. Crossing continents and years, their funny, affectionate and intensely personal letters are a remarkable portrait of a love played out against the backdrop of the Second World War. Above all, their story is a stirring example of the power of letters to transform ordinary lives.
