About this listen
La primera novela de John Banville como Benjamin Black.
«Banville puede haber intercambiado la novela literaria por el crimen, pero no ha dejado de escribir con elegancia y belleza, a lo que ha añadido una trama absorbente, personajes que seducen y evocadores escenarios.» (The Times)
Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras 2014 a John Banville por «su inteligente, honda y original creación novelesca» y a su «otro yo, Benjamin Black, autor de turbadoras y críticas novelas policíacas.»
Dublín, años cincuenta. En un depósito de cadáveres, una turbia trama de secretos familiares y organizaciones clandestinas comienza a desvelarse tras el hallazgo de un cuerpo que nunca tendría que haber estado allí. Una oscura conspiración que abarca ambos lados del Atlántico y que acaba envolviendo en un siniestro abrazo, inesperadamente, la vida misma de todos los protagonistas.
Demos la bienvenida a Benjamin Black. Nos encontraremos lo mejor de un extraordinario escritor, John Banville, también entre la niebla, los vapores del whisky y el humo de los cigarrillos de un Dublín convertido en el escenario perfecto para la mejor literatura negra.
Por sus magníficas descripciones de personajes y ambientes, con un lenguaje preciso, elegante e inteligente, John Banville está considerado como el gran renovador de la literatura irlandesa y uno de los más importantes escritores en lengua inglesa de la actualidad.
La crítica ha dicho....
«John Banville/Benjamin Black es un maestro y su prosa es un deleite incesante.» (Martin Amis)
«Si lo que ansías son misterios, y si las frases deslumbrantes te hacen sentir más renovado que dos semanas de vacaciones en la playa, entonces Quirke es tu apuesta.» (Chicago Tribune)
«En realidad era cuestión de tiempo que un autor tan aficionado a reinventarsea sí mismo, con un interés tan manifiesto por el lado oscuro del corazón, fijara su atención en el género que ha hecho de lo negro su definición, la novela negra.» (Marcos Giralt Torrente, Babelia)
«El secreto de Christine es una maravillosa novela negra que rebasa las convenciones del género.» (Juan Villoro, El Mercurio)
«El secreto de Christine es una contradicción: está escrita para ser leída de una sentada, y a la vez no hay frase en la que uno no quiera detenerse para saborearla.» (Edmundo Paz Soldán, El Boomeran(g))
«La incursión de Benjamin Black en el género policial ha supuesto no un soplo de aire fresco sino un vendaval de literatura de enorme calidad... Espléndida novela El secreto de Christine, batida con un ritmo lento ma non troppo, negro, inexorable, brumoso.» (Herme Cerezo, Siglo XXI)
«El escritor de lengua inglesa más inteligente, el estilista más elegante.» (George Steiner)
«Una novela policiaca oscura, ambiciosa... Va a hacer que unos cuantos lectores le den la vuelta al libro para ver la foto del autor y asegurarse de que es realmente Banville quien está detrás de todo esto.» (Newsday)
«Con una trama intrincada y maravillosamente escrita... Un libro de los que se leen del tirón, con una prosa tan bella que deseará leer algunos extractos en repetidas ocasiones.» (The Boston Globe)
«Solo unos pocos son auténticos estilistas, capaces de encandilar al lector con palabras mágicas. Entre estos pocos bendecidos, en diferentes modos, se encuentran Fitzgerald, Updike, Styron, Capote y Chandler. Y también el novelista irlandés John Banville es miembro de la fraternidad.» (Washington Post Review)

Story
Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

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. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
