2016br. New York, 31 dicembre. Il magnate della finanza David Bellino attende l'arrivo del nuovo anno con un gruppo di vecchi amici e la bellissima fidanzata Laura. Nessuno però ha voglia di festeggiare davvero. Gli amici hanno accettato l'invito di David solo per poter finalmente fare i conti con l'uomo che, in momenti diversi, ha distrutto la loro esistenza, portandoli all'infelicità in cui vivono oggi. Ma non ne avranno il tempo, almeno non tutti: David viene ritrovato morto nel suo studio, ucciso da un colpo di pistola. Una vendetta? Ma di chi? E perché? Tutti avevano un movente, e tutti sembrano avere un alibi. Durante i lunghi interrogatori della polizia e le drammatiche conversazioni fra loro riaffiorano i dolorosi ricordi del passato che, come in un assurdo caleidoscopio, si confondono in un gioco di ombre che avvolgono le loro vite. Gli amici del passato e la donna di oggi: destini uniti e divisi dal desiderio di amore e amicizia, dal sapore amaro della sconfitta, dalla determinazione a trovare giustizia... Tra la Berlino del dopoguerra, un esclusivo collegio inglese, i bassifondi e i quartieri alti di New York, Charlotte Link tesse una tela di relazioni ambigue e pericolose.

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...
