2016ril. Non guardare, Alex Cross. Il chirurgo plastico Elijah Creem è famoso per i miracoli che sa compiere in sala operatoria, ma anche per i suoi festini con escort e modelle minorenni, fra sesso, droga e alcol. Questo finché Alex Cross non interrompe una delle sue serate e lo arresta. Il denaro però permette a Creem di pagarsi la cauzione, e il chirurgo è pronto a tutto pur di non finire in carcere, persino a cambiare letteralmente volto. Non pensare, Alex Cross. Cross però non ha tempo da dedicare a quel caso: una donna bellissima viene trovata morta nel bagagliaio della propria auto in un tranquillo quartiere della città, i lunghi capelli biondi tagliati con rabbia. Il detective sta raggiungendo la scena del crimine quando gli arriva l'agghiacciante notizia di un secondo ritrovamento: un'altra ragazza, impiccata e con una brutta cicatrice sul ventre. Al terzo cadavere, orribilmente mutilato, l'opinione pubblica è terrorizzata: sembra proprio che a Washington imperversino tre serial killer. E se invece i tre omicidi fossero collegati? Corri e basta, Alex Cross. Cross è talmente impegnato nelle indagini che non si accorge che qualcuno lo sta spiando. A tenerlo d'occhio è un folle che vuole vendetta. E non intende fermarsi davanti a niente...

2022br. 12 luglio 2018. Non piove da settimane e l'aria è torrida a Sacramento, capitale della California. Tutta la città attende l'arrivo dell'esemplare Maxberg, uno dei fossili di dinosauro più rari al mondo, ma qualcosa va storto e il prezioso reperto sparisce subito dopo l'arrivo al museo di storia naturale cittadino. Micaela Colligan, ex giornalista e stella in ascesa della politica locale, ha più motivi di quelli che è disposta a confessare per ritrovarlo e si tuffa a capofitto nella caccia al fossile, trascinando con sé Peter Ashby, giovane addetto stampa del municipio. Ma quello che sembrava vero fino a poco prima diventa falso. Gli alleati diventano nemici. I nemici diventano alleati. E l'improbabile coppia finisce dritta nel sottobosco criminale della città. Trentasei ore fra malavitosi che diventano imprenditori, giornalisti d'assalto, politici ricattati che sanno ancora mordere. Trentasei ore al cardiopalma per ritrovare il reperto più ricercato degli Stati Uniti senza rimetterci la testa.
2019brossura Giorgio Scerbanenco negli anni Sessanta del secolo scorso era un famoso scrittore-giornalista che dirigeva le riviste femminili "Grazia", "Annabella", "Bella"; collaborava col "Corriere della sera", teneva rubriche per i suoi lettori e scriveva romanzi. Gli ultimi quattro, d'investigazione, hanno avuto un tale successo sia in Italia che all'estero che da allora è considerato il padre del "noir" italiano. Gianni Bertini, il narratore, è cresciuto nel mito dell'eclettico scrittore, russo di nascita. Convinto che sia stato assassinato ne studia e racconta la controversa vita e "subisce" la voce dello scrittore che racconta la sua versione. Quattro persone morranno al posto dell'ostinato indagatore e della sua compagna Olga. Ma la tragica conclusione di questo noir chiarirà non soltanto la vera natura di Scerbanenco ma anche la causa della sua morte.

2021br. Mantova 1590. Il Ducato è una delle corti più floride d'Europa e la casata dei Gonzaga è stabilmente al potere. Il giovane duca Vincenzo, da poco succeduto al padre, predilige il lusso e i vizi alla politica ma, grazie alle enormi ricchezze della famiglia, nulla sembra poter intaccare il suo prestigio... Tranne uno spietato assassino che si aggira per i vicoli di Mantova decapitando, con salomonica equità, sia nobili che popolani. Quando tra le vittime dell'omicida finisce un ambasciatore francese, la faccenda si complica: che fine ha fatto la preziosa lettera che il diplomatico custodiva? Il movente della macabra scia di sangue è forse nascosto tra quelle righe? Per smascherare l'assassino, il duca si affida a una misteriosa ed enigmatica dama, madonna Bianca Donati, e al pittore Giulio de Tatti. La loro indagine porterà alla luce una verità sconcertante e sinistra...

2018ril. In una Roma attraversata da omicidi silenziosi ed enigmatici, che gettano una luce nera sulla città, il commissario Mancini per la prima volta dopo molto tempo accoglie la sfida con nuova determinazione. Perché ora Enrico Mancini non è più l'ombra di se stesso: supportato dalla psichiatra della polizia che l'ha in cura, e affiancato dalla fedele squadra di sempre, si lancia alla ricerca di indizi che gli permettano di elaborare il profilo del killer. Costretto a rincorrere l'assassino passo dopo passo, vittima dopo vittima, tra i vicoli e le rovine della Roma più antica e segreta, il commissario capisce ben presto che il killer è anomalo, sfuggente come un riflesso. E in un gioco di specchi tra presente e passato, tra realtà e illusione, la posta finale non è solo l'identità del serial killer, ma quella dello stesso Mancini.
