James

    P. D. James creó cautivadoras novelas de misterio, siendo la más famosa la protagonizada por el introspectivo detective Adam Dalgliesh. Su obra se caracteriza por personajes completamente desarrollados y una exploración moralista pero realista de la motivación humana. James combinó hábilmente los tropos clásicos del crimen con una profunda perspicacia psicológica, creando narrativas que resonaron ampliamente. Más allá de su célebre serie de detectives, también se adentró en futuros distópicos y ofreció giros modernos a escenarios literarios clásicos.

Tall, blond, with a body to die for, it doesn’t take Cameron long to find a job at an exclusive private fitness club where she encounters LA's most important players. She has plans to open her own studio one day, and while every man she meets comes on to her, she is more focused on saving money and working hard than getting caught up in the L.A. scene of wild parties and recreational drugs.Until she meets Ryan Lambert, an extremely successful independent movie producer. Ryan is married to overly privileged Mandy Lambert, the daughter of Hamilton J. Heckerling, a Hollywood power-player son-of-a-bitch mogul. Ryan has never cheated on his demanding Hollywood Princess wife, but when he meets Cameron, all bets are off, especially since she’s seeing his best friend Don Verona, the devastatingly attractive talk-show host and legendary player.In her latest sizzling blockbuster, internationally bestselling author Jackie Collins explores what happens when lust and desire collide with marriage and power—and the results lead to murder.
