LA Confidential - James Ellroy

And we go on a trip. First we crossed the Atlantic to reach the Pacific with a great among great, the Mad Dog James Ellroy. Twenty years ago the exceptionally magnificent film adaptation of his best-known work, LA Confidential, so what better than to discover or reread it.

This complex novel is quite a challenge for even the most demanding readers, but it is well worth it to understand and be amazed by it. violent and stark portrait that Ellroy narrated about Los Angeles in the 50s through three policemen of his famous LAPD. Without concessions and with its telegraphic and cutting style, the convoluted but absorbing plot shows the darker side of that city and those years.

Sun of may - Antonio Manzini

Returning to old Europe, we go first to the south, to Italy and its Aosta Valley to meet the ironic inspector Rocco Schiavone, by Antonio Manzini. Those of us who fell surrendered to his cockiness but also to his sympathy and romanticism in his debut in Black track, we've followed Schiavone through three more stories. The last one, that Sun of may, already reaches maturity and narrative consolidation. Indispensable for lovers of that characteristic Italian style with which they cultivate the crime novel.

Domino effect - Olivier Norek

Then we went up a little to Paris to give the captain three kisses Victor coste. I would do it, and its creator, the former judicial police officer Olivier Norek. Domino effect is a great title, award in 2016 to the best European crime novel, and an entertaining and extraordinarily well-constructed novel, with a plot and characters that win the favor of readers. And it also shows that whoever wrote it has the best tables, the real ones. A discovery

Thirst - Jo Nesbø

Next we go to the north of the north with one of the greatest and most successful sons of the Norwegian cold. Jo Nesbø continues to start the blackest cod (and salmon) of those payments and in March of this year he presented his latest novel on a world tour, Thirst. It is the eleventh story of the series starring its most exalted and beloved creature, the commissioner Harry holeThis time Hole will deal with that serial killer that escaped him in Police and whose victims are users of the Tinder contact network.

Anyone who knows it and has read it knows perfectly the good material that has hands. For neophyte readers of Nesbø, although the books in this series can be read independently, it is not recommended to start the house with the roof because it will be lost with characters and situations that have been around for twenty years and ten other stories. But for nesboadictos it is a must read.

Selfies - Jussi Adler-Olsen

And finally, the novelty just out of a few days ago that is the seventh case for the Department Q and its protagonists, the irascible Carl Morck and his peculiar assistant Assad.

In a park in Copenhagen appears the corpse of an old woman. Commissioner Carl Mørck is commissioned to investigate this murder, which has circumstances related to another death that occurred years ago. At the same time a  serial killer engages in running over young women. In addition, the Q Department managers are unhappy with the low case resolution rate and want to cut part of the department's funding.

But Rose, Carl Mørck's assistant, is also going through a bad time. She is haunted by memories of events in her past that force her to enter a psychiatric hospital. And lastly, what do they have to do with this A resentful social worker and three attractive young women obsessed with their appearance, who meet in the waiting room of her office and to immortalize the moment they make a Selfie?

In short, five stories as different as with the common point of a blackness that clouds everythingbut that it will never be able to with the light that always underlies it. Five highly recommended stories for this Black Friday.
