2018ill., ril.

Dall'indagine sulla morte di una vecchia fiamma nella New York degli anni Cinquanta all'inchiesta sul tragico destino di uno scrittore beat in Texas: cinque episodi e una ricca galleria di extra per entrare nel mondo spietato e romantico di un personaggio che ha conquistato i lettori di tutto il mondo.
2010ill., ril. Scenari mozzafiato e trame apertamente ispirate ai classici dell'hardboiled e del cinema noir americano. È Blacksad, una serie a fumetti che mescola la forza dello stile disneyano alla suspence del miglior poliziesco: popolata da animali antropomorfi (come il protagonista, John Blacksad, roccioso e disincantato gatto nero di professione detective) la serie porta in messaggio una veritiera metafora: quella per cui il mondo è "una giungla, dove il grande divora il piccolo e gli uomini si comportano come animali".
2018ril. Nel parco giochi del complesso di case popolari di Hobfield, nel Nord dell'Inghilterra, viene fatta una macabra scoperta: un sacchetto con delle dita mozzate, roba da impressionare anche il più navigato tra gli investigatori. Ma i due detective a cui è stato affidato il caso, l'ispettore Tom Calladine e il sergente Ruth Bayliss, non hanno tempo per la paura, e devono mettersi sulle tracce dell'omicida prima che tutto il quartiere venga sopraffatto dalla violenza. Una corsa contro il tempo per fermare uno spietato serial killer è al centro di Una misteriosa scomparsa. Calladine e Bayliss hanno due cadaveri, due studenti universitari americani. Unico indizio del raccapricciante rituale di morte: il killer ha applicato dei marchi da bestiame alle orecchie di entrambi. Una carta dei tarocchi. È la firma che sulle vittime lascia il killer al centro delle indagini di La lista dell'assassino. Ancora una volta, dalle sole evidenze sulla scena del crimine e dai rilievi dell'anatomopatologo, Calladine e Bayliss dovranno risalire all'assassino. Prima che altre giovani vite siano brutalmente troncate.
