2022br. In una realtà devastata dal femminicidio, quale è il confine tra il bene e il male e chi è realmente l'omicida seriale? Sullo sfondo di una regione affascinante e misteriosa come l'Umbria si aggira l'Angelo Nero, tra ossessione, desiderio e vendetta. La Detective Marvel viene coinvolta in una appassionante e pericolosa avventura. Una donna che ha subito violenza è un fiore spezzato. Con il tempo si nasconderà dietro ad un sorriso, riprendendo i contorni della sua vita per comporre un quadro armonioso.
2012br. Quando il padre l'aveva affidata alle suore francescane del convento di St. Rose, vicino a New York, Evangeline aveva soltanto dodici anni. In quella pace operosa, la bambina è diventata donna e ha poi scelto di prendere i voti. Adesso si occupa della biblioteca del convento, che ospita un'eccezionale collezione d'immagini angeliche. Ma, proprio in quel luogo apparentemente così lontano dai turbamenti del mondo, Evangeline scopre alcune lettere, spedite negli anni '40 dall'ereditiera Abigail Rockefeller a una suora del St. Rose: in esse vengono citati una misteriosa spedizione nella Gola del Diavolo, in Bulgaria, e il ritrovamento di un cadavere perfettamente conservato. Il cadavere di un angelo. Per Evangeline, quelle lettere sono il primo tassello di una storia che affonda le sue radici nella notte dei tempi: la storia degli angeli che hanno tradito Dio e della malvagità che è scesa sulla Terra con un battito d'ali: la storia dei Nefilim, le creature generate dall'unione tra gli angeli ribelli e i mortali; la storia degli angelologi, un gruppo di studiosi che, da generazioni, si tramandano il segreto dell'esistenza dei Nefilim e combattono contro di loro. E, soprattutto, la storia di uno strumento musicale di origine divina e dai poteri straordinari, uno strumento andato perduto e che ora Evangeline ha il compito di recuperare, prima che lo facciano i Nefilim. Perché il destino dell'umanità è nelle sue mani.

2017br. Sei corpi sepolti tra le montagne e mai reclamati. Una vicenda conclusasi tra le nevi della Svezia ma partita da molto lontano. Al cinico, spiazzante psicologo Sebastian Bergman e alla Omicidi di Stoccolma il compito di sbrogliarla. Nella regione dello Jämtland, due turiste scoprono per caso una tomba fra i ghiacci. Sono ben sei i corpi sepolti: quattro adulti, due bambini. La polizia locale chiede aiuto alla sede centrale, e la Omicidi di Stoccolma si trasferisce in montagna. Anche Sebastian Bergman partecipa all'indagine, sebbene lassù per uno psicologo non ci sia granché da fare: l'identificazione delle vittime richiede molto lavoro, e la scoperta di altri resti non fa che allungare i tempi. Per Bergman sarà l'occasione per stringere i rapporti con la figlia Vanja, anch'essa detective, prima che sia troppo tardi. Ma mentre la polizia sembra persa in un labirinto di congetture qualcuno molto in alto cerca di depistare l'indagine ufficiale.

2020br. Decidere della vita o della morte di qualcuno senza sporcarsi le mani di sangue, nascosti dietro il completo anonimato: un sogno per molti, un incubo per altri. È questa l'inquietante offerta di Trajan, il misterioso amministratore di un forum che sta spopolando nel dark web. Un forum dal nome piuttosto allusivo: Morituri. Chiunque può proporre il suo candidato e metterlo ai voti. Chiunque può vedere appagato il proprio desiderio di vendetta, i propri istinti più sadici. Potrebbe trattarsi di uno scherzo? Ogni dubbio viene fugato quando una serie di esecuzioni particolarmente cruente lascia la città di Amburgo sotto shock. È il primo caso che il commissario Daniel Buchholz e la sua nuova collega Nina Salomon si troveranno ad affrontare insieme. Ma la situazione rischia ben presto di sfuggire di mano: appena la notizia si diffonde, gli utenti del forum diventano milioni, mentre ogni tentativo di cancellare il sito fallisce. Per i due investigatori inizia una corsa contro il tempo per individuare la prossima vittima e fermare il killer. Gli indizi a disposizione sono pochi e la descrizione del prescelto troppo vaga: un avvocato che ha scagionato uno stupratore, una moglie che se la fa con il fratello del marito, un medico incapace che scarica le colpe sui colleghi... Il commissario Buchholz, impeccabile e maniaco del controllo, non avrà altra scelta che mettere da parte i suoi pregiudizi e lavorare fianco a fianco con l'irascibile Nina Salomon, decisamente insofferente alle regole, eppure dotata di un intuito infallibile. Ma Internet è uno spazio infinito, e gli utenti sono moltissimi e nascosti sotto il manto dell'anonimato: solo la morte è estremamente concreta, ed è molto più vicina di quanto Buchholz e Salomon possano immaginare.
