A new novel by Roberto Sánchez Ruiz where nothing is as it seems. A true-crime turned into a novel. In June 2018, a stranded yacht is discovered in international waters, engulfed in flames. There's no trace of its crew, the Vila Monsonís -a well-known couple of lawyers from Fotheringale- nor of the boat's captain. From that moment on, all hypotheses are open regarding what might have happened on the high seas. There are no witnesses. The case generates significant media attention due to the prominence of the individuals involved and their connections to the business and political world of that remote tax haven. Gradually, we will come to know the development of the investigation from three...
More than 30 new cases of intrigue that can be solved individually or in groups. I propose you a game that will enthral you and your friends or family. It all starts with the reading of a statement like this: A man gets out of bed. He is dressed in a very elegant suit and is also wearing his shoes. Half asleep, he looks at himself in the mirror, touches his clothes, sees a picture of his whole family, and runs like crazy and jumps off his balcony. This is all we know. The end of the story. What happened? From there, the questions will come, the doubts will follow, the theories, the conjectures, the stumbling over the paradoxes, the funny hypotheses —and also the surreal ones— the despera...

In the year 1995, the National Police of Barcelona faces a series of accidents and suicides that have the peculiarity of occurring on terraces of buildings where the deceased did not live. These deaths, initially unrelated, give the Homicide Group 3, led by Inspector Bellido and Sub-inspector Mónica, a headache. With the imminent deployment of the Autonomous Police, the August vacation just around the corner, the increasingly precarious financial resources of the National Police, and the accumulation of cases, following the trail of these seemingly random deaths becomes a true torment for the investigators. But the biggest surprise for the police comes when, collecting the data, they discover that all these deaths occur on the same day of the week: Thursday. And between one event and another, there are usually five to six months. In all cases, there is always a witness who claims to have seen the victim in the company of someone they have never been able to recognize.
CIA counterterrorism agent Jack Swift is a top operative within the agency. He is assigned to bring down key terrorists on a worldwide basis. He began his career working cross Mexican/US border terrorism with the agency. During a stint in the Middle East working with the Mossad, he manages to take down a well-known Iranian nuclear physicist. Through forensics and paper evidence, Swift and his team uncover an elaborate scheme to funnel radioactive material, money, and weapons to drug cartel gangsters operating throughout South America, Central America, and Mexico. This is a new kind of enemy for the agency, one right in their backyard. Through quick thinking and great knowledge of the cartel's operation, working closely with other government and state agencies, Swift and his team manage to avert a major catastrophe scheduled to be undertaken on the anniversary date of 9/11.
This book is a collection of papers by individuals in industry and academia on research and application development of conductive polymers and plastics. Conductive plastics are positioned to play an increasingly important role in affairs of mankind, specifically in the area of electrical and electronic conductivity. While general knowledge about conductive polymers and plastics has been available for many years, a true understanding of their application has only taken place in the last 3 to 4 years. This is attributed to advances in materials and processing techniques. Engineers have only begun to explore the design freedom and economic benefits of specifying conductive polymers and plastics in industrial and business applications.This book is a key reference and guide to the use of conductive polymers and plastics. It is a summary of existing technologies, but also a look at future possibilities.
