La polizia parla di atto terroristico ma, dalle pagine della Stampa della Sera, Annika Bengtzon conduce la sua personale indagine e scava nel mondo del comitato olimpico e della sua direttrice, donna potente e famosa, ma con molti lati oscuri nella vita privata.

2021br. Dietro alle lusinghe di un fotografo dal taglio rarefatto e mistico si nasconde un serial killer che rinviene nell'Undicesima Musa, la Moda, la profanazione religiosa della nova era. Nei giochi del Casinò si rinviene una misteriosa applicazione delle antiche teorie pitagoriche e cabalistiche, utilizzate allo scopo di delinquere. La medianità e la telepatia, le nuove tecniche per parassitare i sogni, ma il sangue scorrerà a lavare le colpe. Un maniaco misogino trasforma la propria automobile in alcova del piacere, tra sesso, adrenalina, alchimia e allucinazione. Ma l'ultima corsa si trasformerà in vendetta. Una zingara di strada legge nei fondi del caffè la propria condanna: sarà proprio il grande amore a toglierle il soffio vitale. La leggenda delle streghe nere di Triora si mischia a quella delle dirimpettaie streghe bianche del borgo di Ellera, tra tradizione celtica e magia orientale che si fondono in terra ligure, amori, tradimenti e una strana maledizione. La storica leggenda di Vlad il vampiro viene rivisitata alla luce delle conoscenze di filosofia orientale, dove il simbolo del Gral e del drago, rimandano ai codici segreti di un sapere alchemico ed esoterico.
2014brossura Una forte esplosione, improvvisa, talmente inattesa da non concedere la possibilità di fuggire... Polvere, urla, feriti e cadaveri. Siamo a Firenze e la Banca Selenia crolla sui suoi dipendenti a causa di una crudele rapina perfettamente organizzata: dei dipendenti si salvano soltanto il direttore e un'impiegata, diventando i principali sospettati. Il commissario D'Ambrosio inizia le indagini, ma è difficile trovare le tracce degli attentatori: le prove raccolte sono scarse e gli unici indiziati saranno inaspettatamente uccisi uno dopo l'altro. Le inchieste proseguono ma deragliano su binari morti. Per questo e altri ovvi motivi, D'Ambrosio sarà destituito dall'incarico. Il tenente Lo Bello investiga a sua volta sul collega che resta coinvolto in un incidente stradale. Grazie al fondamentale apporto di una pietra situata lungo il tragitto fu possibile dare una svolta decisiva alle indagini.
