David Ellis

En la narrativa de Ellis nada es lo que parece, y La mirada del culpable es una buena muestra de ello: una palpitante novela llena de secretos oscuros. El celebre abogado Paul Riley ha construido su prestigiosa y lucrativa carrera a partir del caso Terry Burgos: un asesino en serie que siguio las letras de una violenta cancion para matar a seis chicas cuyos cadaveres fueron encontrados en el auditorio de la universidad. Riley, por aquel entonces fiscal del distrito, consiguio que lo condenaran a muerte. Ahora, quince años mas tarde, la policia se enfrenta a una nueva serie de asesinatos y mutilaciones. Riley es el primero en darse cuenta de que los dos casos estan conectados, y el asesino parece estar haciendo todo lo posible para involucrarlo.

Shelly Trotter, una abogada especializada en la defensa de menores, acepta representar a un joven de diecisiete años acusado de asesinar a un policía. Shelly tiene poca experiencia en juicios de esta calibre, pero decide defender al procesado, Alex Baniewicz, porque duda de su culpabilidad. Sospecha que el crimen podría encubrir toda una trama de corrupción en la que estarían implicados otros agentes. A medida que transcurre el juicio, y a pesar de que cada vez son más numerosas las pruebas que inculpan a su cliente, Shelly se reafirma en su lucha por salvarle de la pena de muerte.

Llena de los giros que han hecho de James Patterson el escritor de mayor venta en el mundo, The Murder House es una historia escalofriante, página tras página, sobre asesinatos, dinero y venganza

'The man with whom I was dining was a killer. And he was now feeling at ease, courtesy of a fake interview with a federal prosecutor, in which my fake legal memorandum, used to perpetrate a fraud, was being used to exonerate the two of us. I didn't know whom I could trust.' Trust no one. Jason Kolarich is investigating the murder of Ernesto Ramirez, a key witness in a criminal case that he tried. Jason had been pushing him for information, but all he got was the guy's death on his conscience. Who murdered Ramirez, and why? When the evidence leads to an obscure agency in state government, Jason is hood-winked into being a federal informant. The feds are desperate to build their case against the government, but Jason's got his own agenda. Will he be an asset to their case, or will he prove to be a live wire? In this riveting thriller Ellis relies on his experience and expertise to deliver a gritty tale of political corruption and murder at the highest levels of government.

The goal of this self-study e-textbook is to help you quickly learn a special type of English, travel English. The e-book is written for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students who are too busy to take a course in travel English but who still want to learn English they need for world travel. The book focuses on topics, not grammar. Grammar patterns that are useful for conversation are taught, but the focus is on topics that are important for travelers, such as going through immigration and customs, checking into a hotel, ordering at a restaurant, changing money, getting help, taking public transportation, renting cars, and shopping. Each chapter includes a short and a long conversation. Students can easily practice changing words in the long conversations by changing underlined words. The book is designed for self-study with lots of exercises on vocabulary (new words and phrases), reading comprehension, and grammar patterns; you can easily check your answers with an answer key at the bottom of each exercise. The book is written for beginners, but it can be used as a good review book for false beginners and intermediate students. The order of chapters follows the natural order of things tourists probably need to do when they travelstarting with immigration, customs, checking into a hotel, introducing yourself, and moving on to topics such as ordering at a restaurant and bar, changing money, getting around (by taxi, bus, subway, and train), and going shopping. The reading passages at the end of each chapter are written on topics that will help you avoid many problems foreign tourists have when traveling in America and other English-speaking countries. There are two chapters titled Can You Do It? (Chapters 5 and 10) that help students review important points from the e-book. Students can easily move around the book and find topics of interest by using the e-Books Table of Contents.
