2020ril. Calcutta, 1921. Tormentato dai ricordi dolorosi legati alla guerra mondiale e alla morte della sua giovane moglie, il capitano Sam Wyndham sta cercando di contrastare la grave dipendenza dall'oppio, che deve comunque tenere segreta perché potrebbe costargli la carriera. Ma è proprio in una fumeria d'oppio che, per sfuggire a un'incursione della polizia, incappa nel cadavere sfigurato di uno sconosciuto, ucciso a coltellate. Il tipo di pugnale utilizzato e le ferite sul corpo dell'uomo fanno pensare a un omicidio rituale. È il primo di una serie di morti misteriose, tutte con caratteristiche simili, ma apparentemente slegate l'una dall'altra e avvenute in diverse zone della città. In una caccia all'uomo senza quartiere in cui è aiutato dal suo fidato assistente indiano, l'abile e astuto sergente Banerjee, Sam deve fare di tutto perché l'assassino non colpisca ancora. Tutto questo sullo sfondo di un mondo in fermento, in cui i nazionalisti sono sul piede di guerra per protestare contro l'arrivo del principe di Galles e le spinte all'indipendenza dall'Impero britannico sono sempre più sentite.

2019ril. 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.
2018br. Un thriller atipico, capace di aprirsi con coraggio anche alla tenerezza dei sentimenti. Ma se per il protagonista Wall è la costante ricerca della pienezza a tratteggiare la sfera delle passioni, per la collega Stephenson il demone da esorcizzare è il senso di una perenne mancanza, un vuoto da riscattare per ritrovarsi più ricca e felice.

2019brossura Era giunto il momento che desiderava e contemporaneamente temeva, ma... era giunta anche la paura. Aveva detto James che la paura va affrontata e superata, facendo chiaramente capire che solo chi conosce la paura sa cos'è il coraggio.... ma il suo coraggio avrebbe saputo e potuto sconfiggere la paura che si era insinuata quasi all'improvviso nel suo animo? E poi, paura di che cosa? Di morire? No, quello no, o per lo meno credeva di no: in fondo chi sceglie di fare un mestiere come il suo sa benissimo che la morte può trovarsi in agguato a ogni angolo di strada, può presentarsi in ogni occasione e in maniera imprevedibile. Allora cos'era questa angoscia improvvisa? Cosa doveva fare? Rinunciare? Tirarsi indietro? No, non lo avrebbe mai fatto, era un commissario di polizia, aveva degli uomini che dipendevano da lui, degli uomini a cui non solo doveva dare ordini, ma che soprattutto doveva proteggere e difendere... no, non li avrebbe mai lasciati soli. Ma certo, questo era il coraggio, non l'incoscienza del pericolo, ma la piena coscienza che il pericolo c'è, è reale e che bisogna affrontarlo comunque senza arretrare...
