Il cane ricorda
br. Nella provincia del Nord Italia. Tra Lombardia, Piemonte e Liguria, in un triangolo di terra. Un'attrice legata alla politica viene uccisa; tre disoccupati trentenni falliti organizzano una strana rapina; un ragazzo smemorato viaggia su una motocicletta gialla, con un teschio sorridente sul serbatoio; una donna scappa con una borsa piena di soldi; un carabiniere scopre di essere un Veggente grazie a pillole particolari; uno strozzino gay con un nome leggendario va a caccia della sua vendetta... E un cane sembra tornare dall'aldilà. Tutti i personaggi de "Il cane ricorda" incrociano i propri destini in una notte di novembre, legati l'uno all'altro da una pistola che è essa stessa protagonista. Tutti loro dovranno affrontare una prova finale, ordalìa, il "giudizio di Dio", buoni e cattivi, pazzi e sani di mente, politici potenti e vecchie malate di alzheimer. Dopo aver scoperto il colpevole dell'omicidio che apre il romanzo, il lettore verrà trascinato dai personaggi con loro, verso il proprio destino, e il vero mistero da svelare sarà: chi si salverà? In questo noir grottesco che parla di fallimento, memoria, ricordo, e bisogno di amore, può darsi che il ruolo di giudice sia assunto da un piccolo cane bastardo che ha perso l'abitudine di scodinzolare, e l'Apocalisse può manifestarsi con una pioggia di maiali...

Frediani Andrea
La spia dei Borgia
ril. Il papa Alessandro VI Borgia si sta accingendo a perfezionare i suoi progetti per il controllo dell'Italia, quando un atroce delitto lo priva degli affetti più cari e sconvolge i suoi piani. Tutta Roma viene mobilitata per scoprire l'autore del crimine ma, per una strana serie di coincidenze, in prima linea nelle indagini si viene a trovare il pittore di corte, il celebre Pinturicchio. Per far luce su un omicidio che ha ferito il cuore del papato, Pinturicchio si servirà dell'aiuto dei più affermati artisti in città, da Michelangelo Buonarroti a Filippino Lippi, da Piermatteo d'Amelia al Perugino. L'elenco dei nemici dei Borgia è così lungo che la lista dei sospettati si alimenta di giorno in giorno. E mentre tutti a un certo punto cercano un uomo mascherato che potrebbe essere il testimone chiave dell'accaduto, una donna deturpata si aggira per Roma in cerca di vendetta... Di chi si tratta? In una Roma rinascimentale dove la ricchezza delle espressioni artistiche va di pari passo con le lotte per il potere, la penna di Andrea Frediani rievoca uno dei più celebri cold case della storia.

Fuori controllo
ril. In un'Italia spostata un po' nel futuro, segnata da attentati, leggi d'emergenza, controlli delle comunicazioni, carceri speciali - ma per il resto un Paese molto simile a quello in cui viviamo oggi - un improbabile trio di hacktivisti "bucano" due ministeri, prelevando dati top secret. Tra cui alcuni documenti che sembrano alludere a un misterioso programma di sorveglianza. Mentre la polizia è già sulle loro tracce, decidono di coinvolgere un giornalista precario, vedovo, padre di due bambini, per cercare di capire quello che hanno fra le mani. E l'uomo a sua volta chiede aiuto a una donna che nel passato aveva già attraversato una vicenda simile, pagandone il fio. Ma mentre si dispiega l'indagine di questo anomalo gruppo per arrivare a una qualche verità, i suoi singoli membri vengono progressivamente braccati. E le loro strade finiscono con l'incrociare quelle di politici, poliziotti, agenti dei servizi, imprenditori, hacker, vecchi amici. «Di chi mi posso fidare?» sarà la domanda che dovranno porsi continuamente. Ma trovare la risposta non sarà facile.

Il giorno più buio
ril. Non sempre l'apparente tranquillità di Duluth, la cittadina del Minnesota immersa nella nebbia in cui il detective Jonathan Stride ha vissuto tutta la sua vita, corrisponde alla realtà. Specie nel giorno più atteso, quello della maratona cittadina, che riserva sempre qualche sorpresa. Ci sono più nubi del previsto, quella mattina piovosa di giugno in cui la folla si raduna per guardare i maratoneti esausti che tagliano il traguardo. Anche Stride è tra loro, in attesa del passaggio di sua moglie, Serena, tra i corridori. Ma lui è un poliziotto, e sa bene che un'occasione come questa non è fatta per rilassarsi. E non solo perché tutti gli abitanti della cittadina sulle rive del Lago Superiore sono in strada. C'è anche Dawn Basch a correre la maratona di Duluth: una donna che deve la sua enorme popolarità alle idee razziste e islamofobe di cui da tempo si è fatta portavoce, sfruttando i media per la sua propaganda demagogica. E Dawn Basch è sinonimo di guai. Ma quando, con la corsa ancora in pieno svolgimento, Stride riceve la segnalazione dalla collega Maggie, che lo avvisa di uno zaino sospetto, lui sa che la vera gara è appena cominciata. Perché quella che inizia con una caccia all'uomo, con gli echi sinistri dell'attentato della maratona di Boston a complicare le cose, si rivelerà qualcosa di molto diverso e ancora più grosso, che metterà a dura prova Jonathan Stride e la sua squadra.

La danza delle falene
br. Orme nella neve. Il rumore di un'auto che si allontana in velocità. Dentro la casa, un silenzio opprimente. Solo un gocciolio, lento e incessante, al di là di una porta. Quando Maggie gira la maniglia, il suono prende colore: suo marito è accasciato sul divano, in un lago di sangue. Di cadaveri come quello, la donna ne ha visti a centinaia nella sua carriera. Non c'è più niente da fare. I suoi occhi studiano la stanza: l'istinto del detective in cerca di indizi. Ma quello che trova è un mistero ancora più inquietante, perché sul pavimento, circondata di fumo, c'è la sua pistola, che poche ore prima aveva riposto sul comodino. Fuori, la tempesta di neve ha cancellato ogni orma. Sembrerebbe un brutto sogno, uno di quelli che costellano le notti di Maggie da un anno a questa parte. E invece è la realtà, peggiore di ogni incubo, perché tutte le prove sono contro di lei. Per questo la donna chiede aiuto all'unica persona di cui si fidi veramente: Jonathan Stride, suo amico e collega da dieci anni al distretto di polizia di Duluth, in Minnesota. Sarà lui, insieme al detective privato Serena Dial, a doverla togliere dai guai, nonostante la versione dei fatti raccontata dalla presunta assassina sia costellata di silenzi sospetti.

La donna che cancellava i ricordi
ril. Si chiama Frankie Stein. Lavora a San Francisco. Se credi ai miracoli, chiamala, e i brutti ricordi spariranno. Per alcuni è capace di pura magia. Per altri, si diverte un po' troppo a giocare a essere Dio. In ogni caso, che se ne pensi bene o male, la dottoressa Frankie Stein fa parlare di sé a San Francisco: ha sviluppato un controverso metodo di ipnosi in grado di cancellare il ricordo di eventi traumatici, ricostruendoli in modo da "diminuire" il coinvolgimento del soggetto. Non tutti ci credono; tra i più scettici il detective della Omicidi Frost Easton - che spesso si ritrova a dover collaborare con Frankie in tribunale. Frost è un uomo con un passato ingombrante, che ha imparato a sue spese che non esistono i miracoli. E nemmeno le coincidenze. E infatti, quando una serie di donne ritrovate morte in zone diverse della città vengono identificate tutte come ex pazienti della dottoressa Stein, Frost sa che dovrà partire da lei per capire chi si nasconde dietro gli omicidi. Se vogliono fermare il serial killer che sta terrorizzando la città del Golden Gate, Frankie e Frost dovranno così navigare, insieme, le acque burrascose di un'indagine sempre più intricata, imparando ad apprezzarsi a vicenda. Mentre il killer continua a colpire: chi sarà la prossima vittima?

Bugie di sangue
br. Una collega affidabile. Un'amica affettuosa. Una madre e una moglie piena di premure. Neve Connolly è tutte queste cose. Un giorno, in un elegante appartamento a Covent Garden, Neve trova un uomo, il suo amante, morto. E non chiama la polizia. Come tutti, Neve commette degli errori. Alcuni sono impercettibili, fatti senza pensarci troppo. Altri sono enormi. Altri ancora sono deliberati. Neve è un essere umano, dopo tutto. Non così perfetto come tutti dicono. Ma gli errori hanno conseguenze. E quando uno di questi si rivela davvero grave, la catena degli sbagli si trasforma in una spirale inarrestabile, fuori controllo, che inchioda Neve alle sue bugie. E mette in pericolo non solo lei, ma le persone che le sono più care. Suo marito. I suoi amici. Sua figlia Mabel, già così fragile, così provata dalla vita. Anche se volesse, Neve non può più tornare indietro. La verità è adesso più pericolosa di una menzogna. Una bugiarda. Un'adultera. Una minaccia. Neve Connolly è tutte queste cose. Ma potrebbe essere anche un'assassina?

Quello che gli serve è soltanto un'occasione e quando Holly Mackey si presenta nel suo ufficio, sembra che quel momento sia arrivato.

L'indagine, subito riaperta, viene affidata a Moran e Conway, una collega tutt'altro che facile da gestire. Gli indizi portano alla scuola di Holly, alla vita segreta delle ragazze. Ben presto, Moran si troverà invischiato in una rete di gelosie, violenze e misteri.

L'intruso
brossura I detective Antoinette Conway e Stephen Moran non sono popolari alla Omicidi di Dublino: nessuno perdona a Antoinette di essere una donna e a Moran di essere suo alleato. È per questo che a loro toccano solo le rogne e la routine di cui nessuno vuole occuparsi, come sembra essere l'assassinio di Aislinn Murray. L'hanno ritrovata in casa, riversa accanto a un tavolo apparecchiato per una cena romantica. All'apparenza, il classico litigio tra innamorati finito in tragedia. Ogni indizio incastra il ragazzo della vittima, ma Conway non è convinta, e resiste alle pressioni di chi vorrebbe chiudere l'incartamento in fretta. Troppe interferenze, troppe ombre nella vicenda. E quando inizia a indagare sul serio, quello che doveva essere un caso scontato prende una piega inattesa. È solo paranoia oppure, sotto la superficie scintillante, l'unità di punta della polizia nasconde qualcosa?
