2017br. In una caotica New York, dove crimini e fatti violenti sono all'ordine del giorno, una minaccia spaventa e mutila più di altre: il serial killer delle puntine metalliche. Introvabile, imprevedibile, estremamente organizzato. Il detective Mitch Walker si ritrova sulla pista giusta, ma da inseguitore diventa preda. Viene travolto dal Male e dalle turbolenze emotive che governano la sua vita e che lo costringeranno a voltare pagina. Ma la devastazione difficilmente mette la parola fine.
2014br. 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.
1992DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. OTTIME CONDIZIONI, LIEVE INGIALLIMENTO, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Raccolta eterogenea di otto racconti. Il detective danzante. Una variazione sul tema: la Bella, il Buono, il Cattivo. Due amici in una camera immobiliata. La pelliccia. Galoppino. Tre gialli vicini allo stile classico in cui i detective sono dilettanti oppure anonimi poliziotti.L a luce alla finestra. Muta come una tomba. Interessanti più che per la storia, per l'abilità con cui viene descritta la psiche dei protagonisti e come li guida - verrebbe da dire: volenti o nolenti - nelle loro azioni. In particolare il primo, che si addentra nei meandri di una mente logorata dalla guerra - un modo alternativo per fare polemica antimilitarista. Dilemma. E' il detective a vivere il dilemma del titolo: non deve risolvere un caso di omicidio ma, addirittura, cercare di discernere tra assassino e vittima. L'unghia. Strizza l'occhio all'horror e al pulp - il racconto meno consigliato agli stomaci deboli - letteralmente. Ma il mondo intorno a loro, che lottava caparbiamente per uscire dal baratro in cui era sprofondato ai tempo della Depressione, aveva trovato dei nuovi standard di vita, più semplici e frugali. Sulle acque ancora agitate del tempo, era stato appena riavvistato un vascello di nome Sicurezza. Ma i vecchi agi, le spensieratezze degli sprechi, non tornarono mai più.
