Two young women become unlikely friends during one fateful summer in Atlantic City as mysterious disappearances hit dangerously close to home.
Summer has come to Atlantic City but the boardwalk is empty of tourists, the casino lights have dimmed, and two Jane Does are laid out in the marshland behind the Sunset Motel, just west of town. Only one person even knows they're there.
Meanwhile, Clara, a young boardwalk psychic, struggles to attract clients for the tarot readings that pay her rent. When she begins to experience very real and disturbing visions, she suspects they could be related to the recent cases of women gone missing in town. When Clara meets Lily, an ex-Soho art gallery girl who is working at a desolate casino spa and reeling from a personal tragedy, she thinks Lily may be able to help her. But Lily has her own demons to face. If they can put the pieces together in time, they may save another lost girl - so long as their efforts don't attract perilous attention first. Can they break the ill-fated cycle, or will they join the other victims?

It's just past New Year's Eve, and Debora Camilli, Rome's most insightful and charming taxi driver, heroically decides to step on the scale - which mercilessly reads two extra kilos. Enough, it's time to go on a diet. As if on cue, halfway through a slow and exhausting shift, Dr. Longobardi, a nutritionist, climbs into her cab. For Debora, it's a call of destiny. But barely time for an appointment and a medical checkup when Longobardi is hit by a car outside her office.
Could it really be an accident? Debora has more than a few doubts. Drawing on her key strengths - great intuition, initiative, and sheer nerve - she begins to investigate. As usual, this means returning to Commissioner Edoardo Raggio, with all the romantic entanglements that come with it, but also with all the work-related discussions. Because while the official investigations immediately focus on a single lead, Debora discovers that another person could have benefited from the doctor's death

But when he's lured into a risky heist, all his rules go out the window, and he ends up on the run from the cops and the bad men who double-crossed him.

Genre: Crime / Mystery

Naples, late 19th century. When the gears of the rotary press start whirring, it means it's time to go to press.
The beating heart of the newspaper is Matilde Serao, known to everyone as 'the lady'. She employs a printer with an overly fondness for gambling and an 'ditor-in-chief tasked with the thankless task of mediating between her and her husband, director Edoardo Scarfoglio. Her relationship with Edoardo, in fact, is shaky, both emotionally and editorially: for him, 'Matildella' should focus on culture and lifestyle articles, and leave aside field investigations. Eleonora Duse, a great friend and the 'Divine' actress, has a completely different opinion, often scolding her and urging her to free herself from her husband's demands.
But now there's no time for romantic squabbles and secrets: the job calls. The body of a socialist has been found in an alley: dark plots tangle around the murder, and for Matilde, the death is also a private matter. While the authorities appear to be pursuing false or tendentious leads, the lady must delve into the slums the government is trying to demolish - among unscrupulous speculators and wretches who borrow from illegal lottery - to unravel the mystery behind the crime

Il Nido del Pettirosso

The sudden disappearance of a young girl brings to light a terrible murder that occurred in the past and was never forgotten.
In Alveno, a small village nestled in the mountains of Trentino, Alice has left behind her most beautiful and her most harrowing memories. After a few years away, she's heading there with her lifelong friends. They're in the car, headed to Nido del Pettirosso, the hotel her parents ran when she was a child. Her mother, Laura, has now decided to sell it to put the tragic events that had occurred nearby behind her. Eleven years earlier, her sister Sara had been found dead at the bottom of a ravine. How things really happened remains a mystery, but her family, in the meantime, has fallen apart.
The next day, Laura receives a call from the police: the car Alice was traveling in had ended up in a ditch; she and a friend had left to call for help, and no one had heard from them since. Laura rushes to the scene to follow the investigation, led by the fierce Inspector Valenti. Could it be that the mountain wants to take her only remaining daughter?
All the fears and doubts of the past reappear like unwelcome guests from the windows of the now-empty rooms of the Robin's Nest: what happened to Alice? Is her disappearance somehow linked to Sara's death? Will Laura and Inspector Valenti be able to find the girl before the irreparable happens again?
A gripping thriller about the courage of a mother who, through a painful journey into the past, will manage to find hope, but not before facing another terrifying experience amidst distressing memories and ghosts that have come to torment her

Translated
Franck Thilliez's dazzling debut novel returns to bookstores in a new translation and with an unpublished letter from the author to Italian readers: a thriller with a dark atmosphere and a fast pace, in which the killer and the policeman chase each other in a macabre spiral of death and violence.
Inspector Franck Sharko is dealing with the most difficult case of his career: his wife, Suzanne, has disappeared. One evening she didn't return home, and he hasn't heard from her since. Six months have passed. No sign of life, no ransom demand. Every attempt to find her has been fruitless.
After a long leave of absence, it's time for Sharko to return to work, and his first assignment concerns a murder that took place in a small village not far from Paris. In an isolated house, the body of a woman was found suspended in mid-air by a system of ropes and hooks, mutilated and recomposed in an unnatural pose.
The crime scene is strangely clean, and the only microscopic clues lead to Brittany, where the inspector will uncover a sordid underworld of depravity. With the help of the charismatic psychocriminologist Williams, the computer genius Serpetti, and his neighbor Dudù Camelia, an elderly Guyanese woman with the mysterious gift of visions, Sharko will try to track down the Machiavellian killer, a vengeful spirit who seems intent on rebuilding hell on Earth.
And as the investigation becomes increasingly intricate and dangerous, a nagging doubt torments the commissioner: will he ever be able to find Suzanne?
