2022br. In un frutteto di Sparzi, località dell'entroterra genovese, viene ritrovato il cadavere di una donna. Il corpo, sottoposto a una rozza imbalsamazione, nasconde un manoscritto indecifrabile. L'indagine, affidata all'ispettore Manzi e alla sua squadra, appare fin da subito delicata per i possibili legami con un noto fatto di cronaca nera: proprio a Sparzi, tra la fine della guerra e gli anni Settanta, si verificarono undici efferati omicidi, attribuiti al cosiddetto Barbiere, mai identificato. Grazie anche al contributo di una giornalista, Orietta Costa, le indagini di Manzi seguono un filo che si muove tra presente e passato e lo portano a fare i conti con la storia del paese, legata alle violente vendette incrociate del dopoguerra. Ma quando l'ispettore comincia a sospettare che la scia di sangue abbia una matrice ben diversa, a essere in serio pericolo sarà la sua stessa vita. L'intervento di Goffredo-Red Spada, questa volta, potrebbe arrivare oltre il tempo massimo...
2014brossura Il Caledon College Institute è il college privato più ambito e facoltoso di tutta la Pennsylvania. Entrarci, infatti, non è così semplice. Holly Williams, vent'anni, ha avuto il privilegio di farne parte. È un anno, difatti, che la ragazza, dopo aver superato un difficile test di ammissione, studia per diventare giornalista all.istituto. Regole ferree, disciplina esemplare, modi impeccabili e grande voglia di apprendere, questo è il clima che si respira al campus. Nulla di meglio per Holly, la quale, a causa del suo travagliato passato, non desidera altro che una vita tranquilla, al contrario della sua compagna di stanza, Elisabeth Townsend, ragazza dal carattere estroverso e con il sorriso perennemente stampato in faccia. Quando, però, il nuovo anno apre i suoi cancelli ai nuovi studenti, l'esistenza di Holly è destinata a sprofondare nell'abisso. La sua vita non sarà mai più la stessa. Cosa sono le voci che sente tutte le notti? A chi appartengono le ombre che scorge nei corridoi del dormitorio? E, soprattutto, perché quando perde il controllo accadono cose inspiegabili? Queste e molte altre sono le domande a cui Holly non riuscirà a dare una risposta. Di certo, non da sola. Tensione, paura, segreti da svelare, coincidenze inspiegabili. Legami del tutto inaspettati si formeranno, altri si rafforzeranno. Un gioco pericoloso che, lentamente, porterà Holly a scoprire che c'è qualcosa di sinistro nascosto tra le mura di quel college.

2017br. Una vita tranquilla e senza pericoli quella di James Clark e di Steve Harris, i due operativi dei servizi segreti americani nati dalla penna di Simonetta Scotto? No, decisamente no. In questa nuova missione vengono incaricati di catturare un terrorista che anni prima aveva causato la morte di decine di persone innocenti e che, sfuggito alla giustizia, ora vive sotto falsa identità in Spagna. Non sarà per niente facile identificarlo e catturarlo in un paese straniero dove essi non hanno alcuna autorità. Dopo molte peripezie, con l'aiuto del loro collega Paco Aznar, riescono a trovarlo; lanciatisi al suo inseguimento in una folle corsa notturna sull'autostrada e intercettati dalla polizia, vengono arrestati e incarcerati. Solo grazie all'intervento del loro superiore, il generale Mitchell, possono riprendere la caccia al fuggitivo e, aiutati da due poliziotti spagnoli messi al loro fianco per supportarli, e soprattutto per controllarli, riescono ad arrestarlo e a riportarlo in America, dove finalmente sconterà la condanna all'ergastolo che gli era stata comminata in contumacia.
2015brossura Laura si sveglia in piena notte in preda a emozioni scordate da anni e inizia a mettere in discussione le scelte poco ortodosse degli ultimi anni. Nel buio, accanto al suo ultimo amante, rivive la sua vita come in un film. Il suo primo amore e il suo vero amore, abbandonato. Un bellissimo ragazzo la porta ad azioni riprovevoli e getta in lei il seme della sfiducia. Solo allora quando ormai è impossibile rimediare ai suoi errori le è chiaro quanto sia stata grande e deleteria la sua illusione, che la sua vita assume dei contorni completamente diversi e il suo carattere e la sua forza d'animo crescono in maniera esponenziale pur non riuscendo a cancellare il suo rimpianto. La sua vita prende una direzione drammatica. Ore e giorni di terrore e di dolore segnano Laura in modo indelebile. Lontana dal suo passato, una nuova tremenda minaccia incombe ed è di nuovo catapultata nel terrore che aveva riempito la sua vita. Che significano un calendario che riporta due date, e due libri i cui titoli dovrebbero essere indicativi del ruolo che si è assunto uno sconosciuto carceriere? Laura capisce infine che il suo ex è solo una parte del suo incubo che è molto più ampio e contorto di quanto appare. In pochi giorni tutto si evolve fino all'inaspettata tragica conclusione.
2015br. Adam Kindred, trentenne climatologo americano sbarcato a Londra per un colloquio di lavoro, dopo aver vagato lungo il Tamigi dalle parti di Chelsea Bridge, decide di varcare la soglia di un ristorante italiano, senza avere alcuna idea del fatto che nel giro di un paio d'ore la sua vita cambierà completamente. A metà cena gli si avvicina un altro avventore solitario. Inglese perfetto con accento americano, il tizio si presenta come il dottor Philip Wang, immunologo. Scambia qualche parola con un certo brio, poi saluta e se ne va. Poco dopo Adam si accorge che Wang ha dimenticato una cartellina di plastica trasparente su una sedia. Fortunatamente c'è il biglietto da visita del dottore, con un indirizzo londinese. Adam decide di riportargli la cartellina, ma quando entra nel suo appartamento trova Wang che giace sul suo letto, in una pozza di sangue.
