br. Un crudele e imprevedibile serial killer, soprannominato il Seviziatore, mette a dura prova le capacità investigative dell'anatomopatologa e psichiatra Giuditta Licari, alla quale è affidato il caso. Specialmente quando il pericoloso omicida dimostra di poter arrivare molto vicino a lei. Fredda, razionale e distaccata, come e forse più del killer, la dottoressa dovrà leggere la realtà con gli occhi dell'assassino, in un continuo e sempre più inquietante rovesciamento di ruoli tra vittime e carnefici, fino all'inaspettato finale.

Per tutto il tempo, Conrad combatte contro un pesante alcolismo, che annebbia le sue facoltà. La discesa di Conrad nelle parti più buie della città rischia di farlo perdere, ma per fortuna può contare su Anita, sua vecchia amica, e su Mattie, abile meccanico.
ril. Berlino, dicembre 1939. Mentre la Germania entra in guerra, i nazisti stringono la loro morsa sulla popolazione. La paranoia nella capitale è intensificata da un rigido blackout che ogni notte, al tramonto del cupo sole invernale, fa sprofondare la città in un'oscurità opprimente. Quando una giovane donna viene trovata brutalmente assassinata, l'ispettore Horst Schenke riceve subito pressioni per risolvere il caso. Trattato con sospetto dai suoi stessi superiori per la mancata adesione al partito nazista, Schenke cammina su una lastra di ghiaccio molto sottile. Perché la slealtà è punita con la morte. La scoperta di una seconda vittima conferma le peggiori paure dell'ispettore. Deve scoprire la verità prima che il male colpisca ancora. Mentre l'indagine lo porta più vicino al cuore sinistro del regime, Schenke si rende conto che il pericolo si nasconde ovunque. E che le fazioni del Reich in guerra tra loro possono essere letali tanto quanto un assassino che si aggira per le strade...

brossura Il Blackwater è un fiume dell'Irlanda del sud. Tutto inizia qui e tutto finisce qui. Un padre e le due figlie gemelle di sette anni, una mattina scompaiono nel nulla. L'auto verrà ritrovata dopo ore di ricerche nel fiume, dalla polizia locale. Le indagini subiranno subito uno stop, per mancanza di indizi significativi e per la concomitanza di un attentato terroristico che distoglierà tutte le forze dell'ordine da ogni altro caso.

Dopo un primo momento di smarrimento, ritrova la forza di reagire e si concentra sulle varie possibilità che le si presentano davanti. Consigliata da un amico agente di polizia, decide di contattare Marcus Cox e la sua squadra: la Kidon. Un gruppo di mercenari con esperienze in campo militare e terroristico internazionale. Una ricerca che la porterà fino in Colombia, nei loschi ambienti del narcotraffico. Le insidie e i pericoli la faranno da padroni, catapultandola alla conclusione della vicenda e a una verità, che perfino lei stenterà a credere.
brossura Clayton Blaisdell Jr., detto Blaze, è un gigante col cervello di un bambino. Era più un balordo che un deliquente, finché non ha incontrato George Rackley, un furbo "con tutte le risposte" con il quale ha formato una coppia anomala ma affiatata. Potrebbero essere due dei tanti emarginati che vivono di espedienti, ma alla testa pensante del duo è venuta un'idea grandiosa: fare i soldi sequestrando il figlio di ricchi possidenti; come i Gerard, per esempio, che sono pieni zeppi di dollari e il cui erede ancora poppante, Joe IV, vale milioni. Fatto il piano, una gelida notte di gennaio i due entrano in azione: Blaze, come sempre, è il braccio, George la mente. C'è solo un piccolo problema: George è morto tre mesi prima. Di chi è allora la voce che risuona sotto la fronte ammaccata di Blaze e gli suggerisce le mosse? Un fantasma? Il suo io intelligente? Ma se è così, perché vuole spingerlo a fare cose su cui lui non è affatto d'accordo? Questo libro scritto da Stephen King in gioventù, è uscito negli Stati Uniti con lo pseudonimo di Richard Bachman, con il quale l'autore ha firmato diversi romanzi. Una storia criminale pervasa di humour e tristezza, il cui protagonista è un cattivo struggente e patetico.
