Crime Suspense Anthology

The best noir writers make us feel the heat of the sun, the touch of a lover. Setting can be gritty but can also be sublime, no longer relegated to urban locales and seedy hotel rooms but also mansions and swimming pools. Hence, Palm Springs, which may seem like an odd setting for a collection of dark short stories—it’s so sunny and bright here. The stories in this collection come on like the wicked dust storms common to the area.

Il commissario Adalgisa Calligaris è reticente a festeggiare in grande le "nozze di stagno". È una donna dura, un po' brusca, e preferisce di gran lunga la semplicità agli sfarzi. Ma l'insistenza di suo marito, il magistrato Gualtiero Fontanella, la convince ad accettare l'idea di partire per una crociera in Giappone. Durante il volo da Roma a Tokyo, Adalgisa conosce Bianca, una karateka di quattordici anni che fa parte di una squadra di otto giovani atleti in viaggio premio, che la coppia incontrerà di nuovo, per una coincidenza, sulla nave da crociera.

Torna in una nuova edizione un libro prezioso, indimenticabile, sospeso fra perdita e riconciliazione, fra crudeltà e commozione. Nel 1978, in Corsica, un ragazzo viene ucciso dal colpo di fucile sparato da un principe in esilio. Trent’anni dopo, quella vicenda rivive sulla stessa spiaggia, intrecciandosi alla storia di un regista e del suo gruppo teatrale.

Saverio Pesapasta non è un architetto da grandi opere, e ricevere l’incarico di ristrutturare un vecchio appartamento nel centralissimo viale Michelangelo di Napoli è la cosa più improbabile che possa capitargli. Unica condizione posta dal committente è la più assoluta discrezione. Quando scopre che i cadaveri del padre, della madre, della sorella e del cane del suo cliente vennero trovati nella vasca da bagno in un lago di sangue, capisce il perché di quella richiesta.

Ancora una casa misteriosa per l'architetto Pesapasta. Mummie che tornano dal passato con i loro segreti, cantine che nascondono misteri, pittrici di spiriti, una famiglia non proprio normale e un pazzo che riesce a farti dubitare di te stesso. Per l'architetto Pesapasta ogni ristrutturazione si trasforma in un incubo.

Some stories are all about the crime. These stories are about the maelstrom of what happens afterward. A hard-bitten crew of professional thieves pull of the score of their lives, coming away with millions in cash, enough to change their lives, make new identities, start fresh. But that's when the real trouble begins. In this linked anthology, we follow each member of the crew of culprits after the heist and watch as this perfect score ends up a perfect nightmare.

In addition to tales from some of today's top stars — including Laura Lippman, Susan Wiggs, Marcia Muller, Carolyn Hart, Nancy Pickard, and Elizabeth George herself — Two of the Deadliest showcases work from an impressive array of exceptional newcomers, as together they explore the dark depths women and men will sink to when driven by passion, avarice, and a lethal hunger for power.
