Novità: le ultime uscite

La sconosciuta che giace sul tavolo settorio dell'anatomopatologa Maura Isles è molto giovane. E molto bella. I lunghi capelli castano ramato contrastano con la pelle chiara, tesa sugli zigomi alti. È stata ritrovata sul tetto di un edificio nella Chinatown di Boston, da un gruppo di turisti in cerca di brividi durante un Ghost Tour tra i misteri e le leggende dell'antico quartiere. Qualcuno le ha sparato un colpo di pistola, poi le ha mozzato una mano.

Domitilla Paciotti ne ha viste tante, ma stavolta i guai le piovono addosso direttamente dal cielo. Quando sua madre le chiede di aiutare il vescovo Basile (sì, proprio quella zecca del vescovo Basile), Domitilla pensa a un favore veloce da sbrigare, invece si ritrova invischiata in un’indagine che parte dal furto di un bracciale e termina con una prostituta sgozzata. Il tutto mentre l’ombra di un serial killer ossessionato dalla religione inizia a serpeggiare per Roma.

Alle prime luci della mattina di Natale, l'anatomopatologa Kay Scarpetta riceve una telefonata agghiacciante: lo Squartatore Fantasma, il serial killer che da mesi semina il terrore nella Virginia settentrionale, ha colpito di nuovo. Il suo modus operandi è tanto crudele quanto meticoloso: grazie a una sofisticatissima tecnologia, riesce a introdursi nelle case delle vittime e spiare ogni loro movimento senza lasciar traccia. E poi, nei momenti che precedono l'omicidio, si manifesta puntuale un inquietante ologramma, simile a un fantasma, preludio a una morte certa.

In un canale, l'amo di un pescatore si impiglia in un tappeto, e dentro il tappeto, tenuto al fondo da un sacco di sabbia, il cadavere di un robusto settantenne con un vistoso foro alla tempia. L'ispettrice Mirna Pagani sa che «la laguna è il luogo ideale per uccidere. È vasta, piena di isole, isolette, barene, attracchi più o meno legali». Nella laguna veneta più appartata, Venezia – se si scorge – è sempre in una lontananza brumosa.

Außerdem müssen sie herausfinden, ob der Weihnachtsmann die Geschenke bringt - oder stiehlt.

In the village of Pittlewood, near Earlsraven, they believe in faerie folk. Ask anyone - they'll say there have always been goblins living in the woods nearby. When one of the villagers is found murdered, the footprints made by tiny little shoes are found everywhere around the body. Is it possible? Can one of the little people really be the murderer? The villagers think so. Nathalie and Louise can't believe it and set out to find the truth. Then another murder occurs, and, once again, a tiny trail of footprints seems to implicate the goblins.

When a group of friends gathers at a remote Dartmoor estate for an evening of ancient rituals and playful mystery, the night takes a deadly turn. A man lies dead, struck down as if by some unseen force. Is it murder or something far more sinister? In The Idol House of Astarte, Agatha Christie delivers a gripping blend of intellect and eeriness, where superstition meets cold logic and every guest hides more than they reveal.

Everything about my new supernatural life is going up in flames. My best friends are acting super weird. I thought it was because my boyfriend moved to town, but now I'm not so sure. And worse yet, all around town, the dead are rising. Rumors are swirling at school that my boyfriend and I are the ones raising zombies—er, revenants. And I'm beginning to worry that they might be right. I mean, I am pretty new at this whole "raise the dead" business. What if the resurrection I performed last semester wasn't as successful as I thought?

No matter where I go, the tattered threads of the Moirai follow me. If they have their way, it’s only a matter of time and I'll be joining the early grave of so many Blackwoods before me. What’s worse, the curse is expanding and threatening to take more lives. Expelled from his birthright for loving me, Wade is now completely mortal, and vulnerable human. If he dies, there’s no coming back as an angel because not even a necromancer can save him when fate and death conspire. I need to put an end to this, but how do I do it when everything about who I am and whom I'm becoming is built on a lie?

My life is pretty much an insane mixture of ghosts, death, and destruction. But the last thing I want to do is be the cause of Wade's demise. Especially since the Angel of Death told me in no uncertain terms to stay away from him. So, I guess there's just one thing to do... But of course, fate doesn’t let me off the hook that easily. We're thrust together for a school project, and Wade's put right in the line of fire when an unexplained, and surprisingly violent, haunting erupts at Blackwood Manor.

Ich bin Dakota Adair, stolze Besitzerin von Tattered Pages, einer Buchhandlung für außergewöhnliche und skurrile Bücher. Nebenbei löse ich auch gelegentlich Mordfälle. Rein hobbymäßig. Meistens. Nach einem Vortrag über seltene Bücher sprudle ich nur so vor Ideen, wie ich meinen Laden erweitern könnte. Doch als die Vortragende kurz darauf tot aufgefunden wird, finde ich mich schneller in einem neuen Fall wieder, als ich „Kriminalroman“ sagen kann.
