Winner of the Premio Planetäthe Spanish-speaking world¿s richest literary prize¿The spirit of Stieg Larsson visits Mexico City" (Kirkus): Milena, or The Most Beautiful Femur in the World is a pulse-pounding international political thriller about sex, power, and information¿and the extreme lengths people go to get them.When Milenäs lover and protector, the chief of Mexico¿s most important newspaper, dies in her arms, she knows it¿s only a matter of time before the ruthless thugs behind the human-trafficking ring that kidnapped her from her Croatian village catch her and force her back into sex slavery.Soon, three comrades bound together by childhood friendships, romantic entanglements, and a restless desire for justice are after her as well¿but for different reasons. The new chief of the newspaper, columnist Tomás Arizmendi, must retrieve Milenäs mysterious black book before the media empire he has inherited is torn asunder, while dubious intelligence expert Jaime Lemus wants to use the sensitive information the book contains about the crimes of the world¿s power elite to further his political puppeteering. Lastly, the noblest of the trio, rising politician Amelia Navarro has made it her mission to protect women and children from the abuses of men in power.Told at a heartracing pace and full of the journalistic detail and sly humor that Mexican master Jorge Zepeda Patterson has become renowned for, Milena, or The Most Beautiful Femur in the World is a romp across Europe and the Americas that traces the vast networks of capital, data, crime, and coerced labor that bind together today¿s globalized world. Yet, in the beautiful and tenacious Milena, we are reminded that the survivors of the darker facets of modernity are not mere statistics, but living, breathing, individuals.

¿ESTAMOS FRENTE A LA ELECCIÓN PRESIDENCIAL MÁS IMPORTANTE EN LA HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA DE MÉXICO?¿Por quién votarán los mexicanos en 2024: por los viejos políticos que intentan rejuvenecer su imagen y discurso, por la continuidad del obradorismo, o por un proyecto completamente distinto que prometa reiniciar el curso social y político de nuestro país? Para muchos, la permanencia de Morena pareciera ser una promesa cumplida; Claudia Sheinbaum sería la primera presidenta de esta nación, Marcelo Ebrard consumaría una carrera política construida con récords y bomberazos, y Adán Augusto López resultaría una sorpresa calculada.En estas páginas está el nombre del próximo presidente de México. El escritor Jorge Zepeda Patterson, fiel a su tradición editorial, presenta los perfiles de las y los aspirantes a ocupar la silla en Palacio Nacional el siguiente sexenio. Pero va más allá, hace un escrupuloso ejercicio de aproximación y nos cuenta cómo podrían ser las presidencias de Sheinbaum y de Ebrard. Además, presenta una panorámica completa: perfiles de todas las personas con posibilidades reales de llegar a lo más alto del Poder Ejecutivo. Este es un análisis suspicaz y sucinto de todos los nombres que han aparecido en medios, conferencias matutinas y rumores de cara a «la madre de todas las elecciones en México».- Claudia Sheinbaum- Marcelo Ebrard- Adán Augusto López- Lázaro Cárdenas Batel- Ricardo Monreal- Santiago Creel- Lilly Téllez- Claudio X. González- Enrique de la Madrid- Xóchitl GálvezENGLISH DESCRIPTION Is Mexico facing its most important presidential election in contemporary history? Who will Mexicans vote as President in 2024? Perhaps the old politicians trying to revamp their image and their rhetoric? Maybe someone who will build on the ideals upon which López Obrador built his platform? Or maybe a new and radically different candidate that promises to reroute the social and political path of their country? These pages hold the name of the next president of Mexico. In his characteristic style, Jorge Zepeda Patterson presents a detailed landscape of Mexico's next election. From detailed profiles of all the candidates vying for Mexico's Presidential Seat to a meticulous analysis of the election process, La sucesión 2024 is an astute analysis of "the mother of all elections" in Mexico.

A fast-paced mystery where Murder on the Orient Express meets the Tour de France-someone's killing off cyclists one by one. There are cyclists willing to die to win a single stage of the Tour, taking suicidal descents at more than 90 kilometers per hour, but now I know there are cyclists willing to kill to win. Marc Moreau, a professional cyclist with a military past, is part of a top Tour de France team led by his best friend, an American star favored to win this year's Tour. But the competition takes a dark turn when racers begin to drop out in a series of violent accidents: a mugging that ends in an ankle being crushed, a nasty bout of food poisoning, and a crash caused by two spectators standing where they shouldn't. The teams and their entourages retreat into paranoid lockdown even as they must continue racing each day. The mountain inclines grow steeper and the accidents turn deadlier: a suspicious suicide, an exploded trailer, a loose wheel at the edge of a cliff. Marc agrees to help the French police with their investigations from the inside and becomes convinced that the culprit is a cyclist who wants to win at any cost. But as the victim count rises, the number of potential murderers-and potential champions-dwindles.Marc begins to have the sickening realization that his own team has been most favored by the murderer's actions, and in the final stages of the race Mark himself emerges as the only cyclist left who could possibly beat his best friend and win the Tour. Whom can Marc trust? Whom should he protect? What decision will he make if he's asked to choose between justice, loyalty, and glory?Praise for The Black Jersey "Men, mountains, machines, speed, greed, and murder . . .

This is no tale for wimps."-Alan Bradley, author of the Flavia de Luce series "The world of competitive cycling is stressful enough without adding suspicious accidents to the mixture.

The Black Jersey has the pace and excitement of a world-class race."-Alexander McCall Smith, author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series"The Black Jersey is a joy from start to hair-raising finish line, even for someone like me who prefers a good meal to any kind of competitive sport.
