Desire is a vicious mistress . . .
In his debut erotic thriller, former intelligence officer Ken Boehs weaves a mind-bending plot with bold, unscrupulous characters that is both highly credible and expands the genre.
The Tilted Truth introduces a heroic duo: the handsome and clever CIA agent Major Ben Kloes and the ambitious FBI Special Agent Caterina “Cat” Morella whose beauty and seductive ways are hard to resist. Together they turn an official in Hugo Chavez’s inner circle in Aruba, stop terrorists from using a suitcase nuke to destroy locks on the Panama Canal, and ensnare a murderous, criminal gang laundering money in a Nassau casino.
There are many surprising developments and plot twists in this sex and action-packed narrative: The FBI is double-crossed and conned out of their money; a wily informant caught in his own web of deceit jilts the CIA; an extremely cunning woman seduces a prominent military general who has public office ambitions; and a business partner conned out of his life savings launches a vendetta against his associate.
The psychological underpinnings that motivate each character come into play in a maze of manipulation interspersed with the intrigue of clandestine operations and government entrapment, all ending in a diabolical turn of events.
This fast-paced, riveting story will leave readers satisfied and exhilarated.

When ex-cop and recovering junkie Mark Mallen is asked to track down two very different girls who have gone missing, he doesn't think twice about putting himself in harm's way to find them. Bloodied and bruised, Mallen shakes down the pimps and hustlers who could crack the cases wide open, leaving no stone unturned in San Francisco's criminal underground.

But something isn't right. Somebody's trying to scare Mallen off, and it's no ordinary street thug. With heat coming at him from all angles, Mallen's search for the truth leads him to men who will stop at nothing to make sure their twisted desires never see the light of day.

Un thriller excelente donde Bernardo Atxaga, que conoce bien estas cosas, expresa la complejidad de la situación en el País Vasco

En una España deslumbrada por los Mundiales de Fútbol de 1982, un grupo de amigos con un pasado común, la lucha armada, intenta llevar a cabo la última de las operaciones contra el sistema, que se convertirá también en la última de las operaciones contra sí mismos.

Una novela de intriga en la que Bernardo Atxaga, con una escritura brillante y desgarrada, nos adentra en la mente de un hombre que todavía no ha aprendido a caminar fuera del territorio del Miedo.

La crítica ha dicho...
«El hombre solo es un libro maravilloso. Lo tiene todo. Presentada como un thriller criminal, la novela de Atxaga es mucho más que eso: una lectura rica, pausada y poética.»
The Independent

«La historia es en apariencia lineal, pero es todo lo que ha ocurrido antes, y lo que ocurrirá después, lo que enriquece la trama y eleva la novela más allá de los límites de un thriller convencional.»
Times Literary Supplement

«Como novela de suspense, El hombre solo es excelente. Pero este libro ofrece mucho más de lo que cabe esperar del género. Atxaga, que conoce bien estas cosas, expresa la complejidad de la situación en el País Vasco.»
New Statesman

«Lenguaje seductor, sutil sensibilidad, una trama perfectamente engrasada... Todos estos elementos hacen de esta novela, cautivadora y casi perfecta en su desarrollo, un ejercicio ambicioso y arriesgado como pocos de los que tenemos oportunidad de abordar en los tiempos que corren.»
Ramón Sánchez Lizarralde, El Mundo

«Una estupenda novela, aconsejable para entender o al menos intentar vislumbrar sin victimismos ni demagogias una parte en sombras para muchos y, sobre todo, una parte muy importante de la historia reciente que nos atañe a todos por igual.»
Mercedes Monmany, Diario 16

«Una novela indispensable.»
Jordi Gracia, El Periódico de Catalunya

«Una historia con el sello del cronista sensible, de sus inconfundibles señas de identidad: prosa intachable, una magnífica destreza para deslizar en un argumento perfectamente acabado imágenes nutridas en una realidad reconocible, y el paisaje, ahora añorado, del País Vasco.»
Pilar Castro, Abc

Walk With Jesus During His Last Week on Earth

On March 29, AD 33, Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem and boldly predicted that he would soon be put to death—executed on a cross, like a common criminal. So began the most important week of the most important person who ever lived.

Nearly 2,000 years later, the events that took place during Jesus’s last days still reverberate through the ages. Designed as a day-by-day guide to Passion Week, The Final Days of Jesus leads us to reexamine and meditate on the history-making, earth-shaking significance of Jesus’s arrest, trial, crucifixion, and empty tomb.

Combining a chronological arrangement of the Gospel accounts with insightful commentary, charts, and maps, this book will help you better understand what actually happened all those years ago—and why it matters today.
