Paperback. Condition: Good. "A book of great lyrical power, Names on a Map is a heartbreaking mirror for our own time, about an American family torn apart by an unjust war. In Ben Saenz' dexterous, tender hands, this novel is a salve upon the wounds of both then and now." --Ruben Martinez, award winning author of Crossing Over: A Mexican Family on the Migrant Trail A haunting novel from award-winning author and poet Benjamin Alire Saenz, about a family of Hispanic immigrants handling the psychological effects of a war they don't feel is theirs to fight In 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, the Espejo family of El Paso, Texas, is just like thousands of other American families coping with a war they feel does not concern them. When Gustavo, the eldest son--the "bad boy" of the family--is told to report for basic training, his ideology and sense of patriotism is put to the test.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Tras El silencio de la ciudad blanca, llega la esperada segunda parte de la trilogía. Ana Belén Liaño, la primera novia de Kraken, aparece asesinada. La mujer estaba embarazada y fue ejecutada según un ritual de hace 2600 años: quemada, colgada y sumergida en un caldero de la Edad del Bronce. 1992. Unai y sus tres mejores amigos trabajan en la reconstrucción de un poblado cántabro. Allí conocen a una enigmática dibujante de cómics, a la que los cuatro consideran su primer amor. 2016. Kraken debe detener a un asesino que imita los Ritos del Agua en lugares sagrados del País Vasco y Cantabria cuyas víctimas son personas que esperan un hijo. La subcomisaria Diaz de Salvatierra está embarazada, pero sobre la paternidad se cierne una duda de terribles consecuencias. Si Kraken es el padre, se convertirá en uno más de la lista de amenazados por los Ritos del Agua. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Kraken is back for the second installment in the acclaimed White City Trilogy, and this time he investigates a series of ritualistic murders that target expectant parents, only to find that the key to uncovering the killer may be found in his own past. A pregnant woman has been murdered in a brutal, ritualistic way: burned, hung, and then placed upside down in a Bronze Age cauldron.

Then the killer strikes again, enacting the same ritual against a second expectant parent. Kraken knows he must confront his past in order to unmask this fiend. And there's no time to waste, because Deputy Superintendent Díaz de Salvatierra has just found out she's carrying a child. And the father could very well be Kraken himself.…
