È la torrida estate del 2022. Dalla finestra che affaccia sul giardino di Villa De Fabbris appare una scena raccapricciante: una figura avvolta nell’ombra sta trascinando sull’erba il corpo senza vita di Valentina, come fosse una bambola rotta. L’opinione pubblica si scaglia immediatamente contro il marito, Mauro, personaggio inquieto e incapace di tessere relazioni sociali durature. A cercare di far luce sul mistero della morte violenta di Valentina è un gruppo di donne agguerrite e pronte a tutto perché la verità venga a galla.

"- Alors qu'est-ce que vous faites dans la région, dites-moi un peu, s'inquiète le commandant Parker. - Disons que c'est pour un film que je suis en train de tourner, indique Robert. Comme vous voyez. - On ne m'en avait pas averti, regrette le commandant, mais voilà qui m'intéresse beaucoup. Et quel genre de film, au juste ? - Toujours pareil, expose Robert, l'amour et l'aventure. Avec l'Afrique et ses mystères, vous voyez le genre. - Ah oui, soupire le commandant Parker, je vois en effet très bien le genre. Et pour votre histoire d'amour, vous avez pris quelle actrice ? - Céleste, dit Robert.

From Danish crime master Michael Katz Krefeld comes a gripping Nordic noir. In the eye of the storm, truth is her only anchor... Dr Maja Holm seeks solace in a desolate Norwegian coastal town, fleeing a turbulent past. But as her gruelling work hours and self-medication take their toll, she teeters on the edge. When a patient's mysterious death raises suspicions, Maja's intuition sparks a daring alliance with local TV journalist Stig Norland. Together, they plunge into the town's secrets, racing against the impending polar storm.

A fast paced novella about a woman with a dark past who enters a nunnery to escape the demons that haunt her. She was involved in an unsolved murder and wants to put it all behind her. She becomes obsessed by a disturbing thought and vows to silence the one man who can send her to Hell.

Meet Tommy Bruce—he's washed-up already, marooned in a ramshackle hotel inherited from dead parents in the armpit of Perthshire, that's just too far off the main tourist trail to be viable. He's too young to be middle-aged, but too old to be what you could call young (and too lazy to care about it, really). Saddled with debt, grotty premises that are falling down around him and a crippling loneliness, Tommy is slowly but determinedly drinking himself and his business out of existence. Until one day into the lounge-bar, and out of the blue, walks Fiona McLean.
