Giovanni Arduino Orden de los libros (cronológico)

"Al detective retirado Hodges, que dirige una agencia de investigación privada con Holly, le diagnostican un cáncer de páncreas: le quedan meses de vida. En ese momento Hodges investiga una serie de suicidios recientes con un punto en común: todos los fallecidos tuvieron relación con Brady Hartsfield, el tristemente famoso Mercedes, que hace años planeó volar una sala de conciertos de rock llena de adolescentes. Hodges y Holly dejaron al asesino en estado vegetativo del que no se ha recuperado. Sin embargo, el médico del hospital ha estado suministrando a Brady drogas experimentales que han supuesto que adquiera nuevos poderes, incluida la capacidad de mover objetos pequeños con la mente y de entrar en los cuerpos de ciertas personas vulnerables a su control. Desde su cama Brady ha ideado una aplicación del videojuego Zappit. En cuanto tiene al usuario bajo control, usa la aplicación para dominar su mente y arrastrarlo al suicidio. Sus objetivos son los mismos adolescentes que escaparon de la muerte, pero en realidad quiere atraer a Hodges al juego y vengarse. No sabe que está a punto de morir."--Back cover

Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone and has landed him a new job working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything; instead they simply borrow impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he's embarked on a complex analysis of the customers' behaviour. Clay Jannon, twenty-six and unemployed, reads books about vampire policemen and teenage wizards. Familiar, predictable books. Books that fit neatly into a section at the bookstore. But he is about to encounter a new species of book entirely: secret, strange, and frantically sought-after.

Bestselling novelist Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a fortunate man, enjoying a successful career and a loving family, including his wife Penny, a children's book author, and their brilliant six-year-old son, Milo, affectionately known as "Spooky." Despite his happiness, a single negative review from the feared critic Shearman Waxx disrupts his peace.

However, curiosity leads him to seek out Waxx, hoping to understand the man whose opinion holds such power. What starts as a simple encounter quickly spirals into a nightmare.
