‎140.6. Una corsa contro il tempo‎

‎br. 140.6: la distanza in miglia dell'Ironman. Un'impresa che il protagonista della storia prepara allenandosi duramente, scegliendo il triathlon come una forma di pensiero. Una serie di decessi che, apparentemente, non sono collegati fra loro. Un killer spietato, determinato a portare a termine il proprio progetto, semina terrore in diversi territori e sebbene non vi sia un movente, il filo conduttore si trova proprio davanti agli occhi della polizia, ma come uno spettro sparisce e ritorna, portando i commissari Aldo Farinelli e Robinson Balbini, a districarsi in mezzo a una scatola cinese: un enigma dentro un altro enigma. La storia sembra talmente dispersiva da rendere la caccia all'assassino come la ricerca di un ago in un pagliaio. Un gruppo antico, i cui personaggi si sono persi di vista negli anni, è l'unica certezza in mano alla squadra investigativa. In mezzo a questo contesto si trova Cis che nuota, pedala e corre per trovare il bene più prezioso: se stesso.‎

‎La donna del lago‎

‎br. In un'afosa mattina di fine estate, il cadavere di una donna riemerge improvvisamente dal lago, sconvolgendo gli abitanti della tranquilla cittadina di Castel Gandolfo. Il caso viene assegnato a Lorenzo Festa, un sostituto commissario giovane e ambizioso, che dovrà confrontarsi con gli aspetti più torbidi e imprevedibili della follia umana. Il geniale mondo di un artista, l'ovattata realtà della televisione, il nebbioso ambiente della politica e il mistero di un'antica setta: sembra fare tutto parte dello stesso disegno, ma il commissario sa bene che in un caso simile nulla può essere dato per scontato. La sua indagine, infatti, si rivela ben presto una discesa, progressiva e implacabile, nel cuore dell'oscurità. Festa dovrà scandagliare gli antri più bui del vivere quotidiano, per scoprire quanto labile e a volte ingannevole possa essere il confine tra normalità e pazzia.‎

‎Il primo cadavere‎

‎br. All'alba di un freddo e buio giorno d'inverno, la detective Kim Stone scende dalla moto e fa il suo ingresso nella stazione di polizia di Halesowen, pronta a incontrare la squadra che le hanno assegnato. Poco dopo viene ritrovato il cadavere di un giovane impalato e decapitato, e Kim e i suoi si precipitano sul posto. È l'inizio della prima indagine che li metterà subito a dura prova. Stacey Wood, entrata a far parte del gruppo come esperta informatica, scopre un'inquietante somiglianza con un omicidio recente e si convince che tra le due morti ci sia un legame. La chiave di tutto potrebbe essere una residenza per ragazze maltrattate. Mentre l'assassino minaccia di mietere altre vittime, i quattro colleghi dovranno imparare al più presto a collaborare. Se la giovane Stacey già si distingue per l'efficienza e il sergente Bryant per la sua affidabilità, l'ambizione di Dawson rischia di mandare all'aria il delicato equilibrio del team investigativo. Non sarà facile per Kim, nel suo nuovo ruolo di capo, tenere unita la squadra che è chiamata a risolvere il suo primo difficile caso.‎

‎Linea di sangue‎

‎ril. Quando la polizia ritrova il cadavere di un assistente sociale ucciso da un'unica letale coltellata, tutto fa pensare a una rapina andata male. Ma per la detective Kim Stone qualcosa non torna. Pochi giorni dopo, un tossicodipendente della zona viene ucciso nello stesso identico modo. L'istinto di Kim le suggerisce che dietro c'è la mano dello stesso assassino. Eppure non c'è niente a collegare le due vittime, a eccezione dell'inquietante precisione con cui sono state uccise: una singola coltellata al cuore. Mentre Kim è alle prese con il caso, un fantasma del suo passato torna a farle visita con un'inquietante lettera che riapre antiche ferite del passato, mai del tutto cicatrizzate. Se vuole davvero fermare l'assassino prima che il numero delle vittime cresca ancora, dovrà rimanere vigile per districarsi nella fitta rete di intrighi e di bugie che le si sta stringendo attorno... anche se significa mettere in grave pericolo la sua stessa vita.‎

E il segreto che lega i presenti è destinato a essere sepolto sotto terra.

Quando però nel corso delle indagini tornano alla luce anche i resti di un altro corpo sepolto molto tempo prima, Kim capisce che le radici del male vanno cercate nel passato e che per fermare il killer una volta per tutte dovrà confrontarsi con i propri demoni personali, che ha tenuto rinchiusi troppo a lungo...‎

‎Il delitto dell'artista maledetto‎

‎ril. York, 1799. Nel caldo torrido del mese di agosto, l'artista Matthew Harvey viene ritrovato ucciso in casa sua, pugnalato con un paio di forbici. L'omicidio desta subito scalpore in tutta la città. Le sue opere, infatti, hanno riscosso grande successo grazie alla tecnica utilizzata. Harvey ritraeva i suoi modelli di profilo, tracciando i contorni della loro silhouette su un cartoncino nero che poi ritagliava, creando raffigurazioni suggestive. E se uno dei suoi ultimi sei lavori riproducesse la sagoma dell'assassino? Se il suo volto si celasse dietro le silhouette scure dei misteriosi personaggi ritratti? Fletcher Rigge si trova in prigione a causa dei debiti contratti da suo padre, quando riceve una bizzarra lettera: il figlio dell'artista assassinato gli chiede di risolvere il mistero. Avrà un mese di tempo per trovare l'assassino e, se riuscirà nell'impresa, verrà rilasciato definitivamente. Ma il prezzo per la libertà è la risoluzione di un caso insidioso, in cui dietro ogni ombra si nasconde un pericoloso segreto.‎
