La ragazza che non sapeva
br. Iris Kastelein lavora presso Bartels & Peters, un rinomato studio legale di Amsterdam dove, in cambio di laute parcelle, si soccorre il prossimo nei guai con la legge. Uno "sporco lavoro", come si suole dire, reso ancora più proibitivo dal fatto che Iris deve occuparsi anche di Aaron, il bambino avuto da un uomo dal quale si è sentita attratta una sola volta in vita sua. Tra sessanta ore di lavoro alla settimana, riunioni, rapporti, cause, negoziati che si succedono a ritmo infernale, corse all'asilo per recuperare Aaron, Iris sa, però, di essere una giovane donna grintosa, indipendente, con un bambino semplicemente adorabile. Un giorno, tuttavia, una scoperta sconvolgente viene a disintegrare tutte le sue certezze. Una futile indagine sulle cause della morte di un pesciolino, contenuto nell'acquario apparso di punto in bianco qualche anno prima nel salotto di sua madre, la conduce sulle tracce di un certo Ray Boelens. Ray non è soltanto il primo proprietario dell'acquario. Ray è, secondo la giustizia olandese, un assassino accusato di un crimine orrendo: avrebbe ucciso, con numerose coltellate. la sua vicina insieme con la figlia perché non ricambiava i suoi sentimenti, e avrebbe poi infierito sulla piccola spegnendo sul suo cadavere un mozzicone di sigaretta. Questo "mostro della porta accanto", infine, spedito a marcire tra le mura di un manicomio criminale, porta stranamente lo stesso cognome della madre di Iris: Boelens.

Pavanelli Simone
La maledizione delle pecore nere
br. 1940. Inghilterra. La guerra arriva anche nel Regno Unito con il nome "Operazione attacco dell'Aquila". È l'inizio della Battaglia d'Inghilterra. I piloti inglesi combattono con i propri mezzi contro un nemico dieci volte superiore. Tra loro c'è una squadriglia denominata "Pecore nere", composta di veri e propri assi. Il loro capo, Simon Farrell, li ha addestrati per essere veloci e letali in combattimento, ma qualcosa cambia. Da un passato lontano, spunta una maledizione che va a decimare i piloti delle "Pecore nere". Demoni, mostri e paure affiorano dalle anime dei giovani guerrieri, facendoli capitolare uno a uno. L'unico a voler scoprire la verità è Farrell, che lotta contro tutto e tutti nella speranza di salvare quel che resta della sua squadriglia. Un thriller veloce e crudo. Primo capitolo di una trilogia che poggia le sue fondamenta sulla lotta tra alcuni discendenti dei Templari e i servi del Demonio che, nei secoli, sono riusciti a penetrare nelle stanze del potere, fino a inquinare la Chiesa.

La città splendente
br. Il prestigio di Semerald le ha conferito l'appellativo di "città splendente", ma molti sanno che dietro la luce più abbagliante si nascondono le ombre più nere, soprattutto i basili, gli sfortunati abitanti della Città Bassa. Lo stesso Satinel, membro dell'Ordine dei Servi Neri, guardiani della Città Alta e del Patriarcato, ha cominciato da tempo a intuire qualche inceppo negli impeccabili meccanismi del governo. La conferma arriva quando l'efferato assassinio del vecchio Duca Patriarca, di cui lui diviene accidentalmente testimone, è insabbiato in modo sospetto a opera della sua stessa consorte, Lady Luanna. Perché nascondere la verità se si tratta solo un furto andato male? Il mistero si infittisce e lui sembra proprio intenzionato ad andare a fondo. Con l'aiuto dei suoi poteri e accompagnato dall'amico Markus, intraprenderà un'indagine che rivelerà molto più di un segreto oscuro dietro alle bianche mura degli alti palazzi di marmo, simbolo della stirpe dei nobili nevial.

È tutto in ordine
br. Vivo per strada, ai margini del mondo, perché dal mondo non mi aspetto più nulla. E al mondo, a chi come te si ferma su questa panchina sotto un caldo sole d'estate o nelle fredde brine d'inverno, sono ancora capace di regalare qualcosa. Sono un 'cantastoria'. Che dici? Si dice cantastorie? No, io sono un 'cantastoria', perché di storia ne ho solo una da raccontare. È una storia vera, s'intende, non una di quelle inventate che stropicciano i sogni. Ogni istante vissuto è stato un tocco di dita che ha fatto vibrare la corda della mia anima e il suo ricordo echeggia quelle emozioni. Se pensassi di tenerla solo per me, mi sentirei l'uomo più egoista di questa terra. È una storia che ha dentro tutte le emozioni di questo mondo, dall'amore alla rabbia, dalla lucida ragione alla più pazza follia. Cosa c'era che non andava in lei? Angelica era, semplicemente, un'assassina seriale.

Pearl Matthew
La camera di Dante
br. Londra, 1870. In un parco popolato da prostitute e tagliagole, un uomo stramazza sull'erba umida di pioggia. Un pesante giogo di pietra gli ha cinto il collo fino a spezzarglielo. Su di esso, un misterioso verso biblico che rimanda alla Divina Commedia: "Eccomi, sono la serva del Signore". Mentre in città altri omicidi suggeriscono che un assassino stia mettendo in scena le punizioni del Purgatorio, il grande artista Dante Gabriel Rossetti pare svanito nel nulla. Molti dichiarano di averlo visto sulle scene del crimine. È lui il colpevole? La sorella di Gabriel, la poetessa Christina, è convinta del contrario e teme che possa essere lui la prossima vittima, così riunisce un improbabile manipolo di investigatori: i poeti Alfred Tennyson e Robert Browning e il traduttore dantesco Oliver Wendell Holmes. Con loro si lancerà in una corsa contro il tempo per decifrare gli indizi letterari lasciati dall'assassino e fermare così il massacro. Tra le eleganti residenze dell'alta borghesia e i quartieri più equivoci della Londra vittoriana, Matthew Pearl fa perdere il lettore in un labirinto di finzione e realtà, tornando ai temi che lo hanno reso celebre con "Il Circolo Dante".

Il sanatorio
ril. Un lussuosissimo hotel ad alta quota sulle Alpi svizzere è l'ultimo posto in cui Elin Warner vorrebbe trovarsi. Ma si è presa una pausa dal lavoro di detective, e così, quando riceve di punto in bianco l'invito a festeggiare il fidanzamento del fratello, non ha altra scelta che accettare. Arrivata nel bel mezzo di una tempesta violentissima, Elin si sente subito nervosa: l'atteggiamento di suo fratello Isaac le sembra strano e c'è qualcosa in quell'hotel, completamente isolato, che le dà i brividi. Forse ha a che vedere con il fatto che prima della ristrutturazione fosse stato un sanatorio abbandonato... Quando, la mattina dopo, gli invitati scoprono che Laure, la promessa sposa, è scomparsa senza lasciare traccia, il disagio di Elin cresce, mettendola davanti a domande che non avrebbe mai voluto porsi. Suo fratello ha qualcosa a che fare con la sparizione della fidanzata? La neve caduta blocca l'accesso all'hotel e il panico comincia a diffondersi tra gli ospiti. Nessuno si è ancora reso conto che un'altra donna è scomparsa. Ed è l'unica che avrebbe potuto avvertirli del pericolo...

La moglie tra di noi
br. Ogni relazione ha le sue ombre. Anche il matrimonio perfetto. Quando leggerai questo romanzo, farai molte supposizioni. Supporrai che sia la storia di una ex moglie gelosa, ossessionata dalla donna che l'ha rimpiazzata nel cuore del suo ex marito. Oppure penserai che sia quella della ragazza che sta per sposare l'uomo dei suoi sogni, ancora piena di tutte le speranze di una giovane sposa. O ancora ti chiederai se non sia, in fondo, la storia di un triangolo in cui è difficile capire di chi fidarsi. Ti dirai che è una storia d'amore e odio, di seduzione e paura, di tradimento e giochi di potere. Supporrai di aver capito tutto di Vanessa ed Emma e dell'uomo che amano, le motivazioni dietro le loro azioni, l'anatomia delle relazioni che legano l'uno alle altre. Supporrai di sapere chi sono e che cosa muove, davvero, i loro cuori. Ma ti sbaglierai. Perché questo romanzo è proprio come la realtà. E nella realtà non c'è niente di vero. Nessuna relazione è senza ombra. Nessun amore è senza segreti. Ci sono solo gli sprazzi di verità dietro le bugie. O le piccole bugie che, insieme, fanno una verità. E la verità è l'unico modo per voltare pagina.
