¿Cómo sería una novela negra disparatada, entretenida, llena de personajes sórdidos pero también de humor? ¿Cómo podrían conjugarse en una novela que se lee de un tirón la violencia, la ternura y varios elementos típicamente argentinos? La respuesta a esas preguntas tan específicas llega con "La torre de Sandro (Una historia con mentiras y café)", nuevo libro de Matt D. Ivansky. En esta oportunidad el prolífico escritor, conocido por la variedad de las temáticas que trata, se adentra con éxito en la parodia.Matt D Ivansky (Matías Saeta) es Licenciado en Psicología por la Universidad del Salvador (Buenos Aires), y actualmente ejerce su profesión tanto en el ámbito público como en el privado.En el terreno de la producción literaria, comenzó su carrera como novel escritor al idear el mundo fantástico que dio nacimiento a su trabajo más extenso, "El descenso de Ishmana (El éxodo urimio)", en el cual intentó novelar una serie de conceptos extraídos de las tradiciones espirituales mayormente orientales. Luego, y siempre en su predilección por la temática metafísica que siguió profundizando por más de veinte años, escribió la serie "Crónicas Paranormales", en las cuales propone al lector un conjunto de contextos y situaciones verosímiles que procuran acercarlo al universo sutil de lo sobrenatural. A continuación y como un intento de incursionar brevemente en el género de la novela contemporánea, escribe "Heiliges Herz", volcando en ella su sentir personal acerca de la problemática de la infancia vulnerada (obvio reflejo de su experiencia en el ámbito institucional). Posteriormente, "El guardián de los cerros", como novela cuasi fantástica, trae un aire de homenaje nostálgico a los años de una infancia atesorada en geografías andinas, aspecto que aparece también en algunos cuentos, bajo la forma de pinceladas autorreferenciales."La torre de Sandro", en una categoría distinta, es un recreo de inventiva libre, con algo de argentinidad llevada al extremo de la parodia; un intento fallido de novela negra que procura un par de reflexiones más divertidas que fecundas.La serie de cuentos cortos, son un concentrado de temas aleatorios con los que el autor ha jugado, procurando ensayar estilos, escenarios y personajes, tan variados e inverosímiles como sórdidos.Matt D Ivansky vive en una ciudad del sur argentino. Está casado y tiene dos hijos en edad adolescente.

El viaje en crucero de unos amigos argentinos por varias ciudades europeas se cruza de repente con el enigma de un homicidio. La visita a todos esos puertos mezcla el mundo presuntamente apacible de los guías turísticos con figuras mucho más misteriosas (como la del marsellés Jean Louis), al lado de lo cual aparecen secretos históricos y flores bellísimas pero potencialmente venenosas..."Asesinato en Malta" es un libro ágil, agudo y entretenido. Otra más en la serie de obras atípicas a las que nos viene acostumbrando su autor.

Att ett fattigt parti poker kan få oanade konsekvenser står alldeles klart i denna skruvade spiondeckare med postadress Jämtland. När panksionärerna Stefan och Christian får den briljanta idén att länsa ödehus på antikviteter, för att sedan sälja dem dyrt, är de inte sena med att skrida till verket. Bekantingen Thomas går efter lite trugande med på att hyra ut sin tomma ladugård. En husbil, pyntad med oskyldiga klisterlappar, blir dessutom snart den perfekta täckmanteln för en stöldturné. Ja, allt verkar faktiskt gå som på räls för amatörtjuvarna från Storsjön – ända tills ett hus bjuder på oväntat motstånd. Utan att de riktigt förstår hur det gått till har Stefan, Christian och Thomas plötsligt blivit indragna i en livsfarlig kamp om rikets säkerhet, där både SÄPO och främmande makter är dem hack i häl. Vad är det egentligen för hemligheter de råkat snubbla över? Sten Lindqvist är en svensk författare från Krokom. Hans debutroman "Hälsa till mamma" utkom år 2006.

"Den här boken är en nästan oberoende fortsättning av första 'Gubbligan'. Ni som inte läst första boken har gått miste om åtskilligt. Och jag tänker inte upprepa mycket av den."Efter ett dödligt spiondrama hade man kunnat tro att Stefan, Christian och Thomas skulle lämna livet som ödehusplundrare bakom sig. Men när man en gång fått känna adrenalinets tjusning, visar det sig bli svårt att vara nöjd med det gamla vanliga pensionärslivet. Gubbligan bestämmer sig istället för att ge sig ut på en ny stöldturné – och det dröjer inte länge innan nya skruvade situationer uppstår. En simpel bytesaffär blir betydligt mer lukrativ än någon hade kunnat ana, och mitt under brinnande pandemi har gubbarna plötsligt blivit både sprit- och tobakssmugglare. Men kan de verkligen lita på sina så kallade affärspartners? Kanske har de återigen gett sig ut på alldeles för djupt vatten. Och den här gången, är det bokstavligen ... Sten Lindqvist är en svensk författare från Krokom. Hans debutroman "Hälsa till mamma" utkom år 2006.

Młody, niedoświadczony i niemajętny prawnik przeżywa w swoim zawodzie katusze nudy. Bardzo ożywia się więc, gdy jego przydzielony z urzędu klient prosi go o załatwienie pewnej honorowej sprawy za dodatkowym wynagrodzeniem. Adwokat ma pojechać do Deauville, by zwrócić kochance swojego mocodawcy poufne materiały. Kto by przypuszczał, że osadzony Durin (zwany Człowiekiem o Stu Twarzach) snuje zza kratek kolejne intrygi.Lekki, dowcipny kryminał podany w konwencji pamiętnika adwokata. Książka została zekranizowana w 1936 r. przez Roberta Siodmaka.Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) - francuski pisarz i reporter, z wykształcenia prawnik. Jest uznawany za jednego z prekursorów weird fiction - odmiany fantastyki literackiej. Jego twórczość posiada cechy podobne do utworów Edgara Allana Poego bądź Arthura Conana Doyle'a. Podczas stażu adwokackiego dostał propozycję zrelacjonowania głośnego procesu dla dziennika "Paris". Efekt jego pracy był tak znakomity, że konkurencyjny dziennik "Le Matin" zaoferował mu stanowisko sprawozdawcy sądowego. Tak rozpoczęła się jego wielka kariera dziennikarska. W kolejnych latach Leroux był wysłannikiem m.in. na wojnie rosyjsko-japońskiej, w Maroko podczas wojny kolonialnej czy w Petersburgu podczas wybuchu rewolucji. W 1906 r. poświęcił się w całości twórczości literackiej i... hazardowi - dzięki pierwszej aktywności zarabiał na drugą. Pisał przede wszystkim powieści detektywistyczne. Jego najsłynniejszym utworem jest "Upiór w operze", wielokrotnie ekranizowany i wystawiany w formie musicalu.
