“A COMPASSIONATE story about one of the most consequential Americans of the 20th century.” —Kirkus (STARRED review) An extraordinary work of historical fiction by the co-creator of TWIN PEAKS—a novel about one of FDR’s closest wartime advisers and the president’s final days, INSPIRED BY THE AUTHOR''S OWN FAMILY In 1934, Will Hassett is working as a journalist when he gets a call from an old friend who now works at the White House. He arrives expecting to catch up on old times but is instead brought right into the Oval Office to meet with Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR needs help on his speeches; Will takes the job on the spot. For the next twelve years, Will is at FDR’s side through the worst of the Depression, three reelection campaigns, and World War II. The Yankee Sphinx, inspired by Will Hassett’s real diaries, focuses on the last few years of FDR’s life. The war is raging in Europe and FDR’s good friend, Winston Churchill, begs for America’s help. But Roosevelt knows he can’t bring the country in until it’s ready, an opportunity that won’t arise until the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor in 1941. From Will’s empathetic perspective, we witness FDR managing the Allied military campaign abroad and parrying shots from isolationist politicians at home—all while reckoning with his rapidly deteriorating health. Will and Anna, Roosevelt''s daughter, plot an intervention to get him a doctor more up to speed on a new discipline called “cardiology” so the president can maintain his strength and end the war. Elegantly written, bursting with personality, and perfectly capturing life in wartime Washington, The Yankee Sphinx is a marvelous work by one of our most versatile writers.

Mark Frost, creador de Twin Peaks, nos sumerge en una Londres victoriana envuelta en brumas, donde las sociedades secretas mueven los hilos del poder, los complots se tejen en la penumbra, y donde un joven Arthur Conan Doyle se enfrenta a una amenaza que desdibuja los límites de la razón. Navidad de 1884. El joven médico y aspirante a escritor Arthur Conan Doyle es invitado a una sesión de espiritismo en una casa del East End londinense. La velada da un giro macabro cuando dos personas son brutalmente asesinadas, y el propio Doyle está a punto de correr la misma suerte. Su salvador es Jack Sparks, un enigmático aventurero y maestro del disfraz que afirma ser agente especial al servicio de Su Majestad la Reina Victoria. Sparks revela a Doyle que ha sido marcado como objetivo por una siniestra secta de satanistas conocida como la Hermandad Oscura. Unidos por el peligro, Doyle y Sparks se embarcan en una trepidante persecución que los llevará desde los oscuros callejones de Londres hasta los rincones más remotos de Europa, enfrentándose a amenazas tanto humanas como sobrenaturales. Su única pista es una lista con siete nombres: los líderes de la Hermandad. En su camino, se cruzarán con sociedades ocultistas, practicantes de magia negra, gárgolas que cobran vida, científicos desquiciados y figuras emblemáticas como Madame Blavatsky y Bram Stoker. El destino del Imperio británico pende de un hilo, y solo ellos pueden evitar su caída. La lista de los siete es un festín para los amantes del folletín decimonónico, un caleidoscopio de aventura en el que un joven Conan Doyle, aún lejos de la celebridad, se ve envuelto en una espiral de enigmas. Entre el fulgor de las lámparas de gas y el eco de los pasos en callejones desiertos, Mark Frost rinde homenaje a las novelas de aventuras victorianas, con una trama que mantiene al lector en vilo hasta la última página. CRÍTICA «A lo largo de sus trepidantes páginas se suceden todos los elementos de misterio, intriga y emoción que hicieron de los relatos de Sherlock Holmes un éxito literario sin precedentes.» —El Mundo «Una historia absolutamente vertiginosa. Burbujea como el champán.» —The Washington Post «Una novela que sigue siendo tan impactante hoy como cuando se publicó.» —Guillermo del Toro «Una intriga bien calibrada, que cabalga entre aparentes realidades y mundos ocultos.» —La Vanguardia «Un magnífico relato de aventuras sobre fuerzas ocultas del mal que se reúnen en la Inglaterra victoriana para planear el dominio del mundo.» —Kirkus Review «Una novela que me ha entusiasmado por su intriga y me ha acompañado en la búsqueda de mundos ocultos. Un entretenimiento oscuro y cautivador. Un irresistible pasapáginas.» —Clive Barker «El mundo de las fuerzas ocultas y del espiritismo se desliza con desasosiego y nos perturba con eficacia a lo largo de las páginas de esta excelente narración.» —ABC «Una novela inquietante que se devora con avidez desde la primera página... Avanza por la Inglaterra victoriana con el ímpetu de un tren desbocado.» —People

Mark T. Frost was born and raised on the Cape Flats in Cape Town South Africa. At the age of twenty-three and in pursuit of the Truth he started to read the Bible, a search that resulted in a meeting with the Lord of the scriptures Himself, Jesus Christ. A fervent student of the Bible with several years of Bible studies behind him, the author and a colleague went to Mozambique in 1989 to start training church leaders in that war torn country. Very early in his missionary calling Mark had a vision for the unification of the Church, the worldwide body of Christ, the biggest living organism in the universe. In cooperation with several international Christian organisations having as their main thrust leadership training within the church, the work steadily grew to include all denominations, both mainstream and independent, in the capital city Maputo. By the time Mark left Mozambique ten years later the work had expanded and covered most of the major districts in southern Mozambique. Today the author resides in Sweden with His family."
