Novità: le ultime uscite

Milano, 2002. Molti misteri s'intrecciano sotto la Madonnina. Tutto comincia quando un noto avvocato viene assassinato in pieno giorno nella centralissima piazza dei Mercanti: prima di morire, però, l'uomo traccia uno strano simbolo col proprio sangue. Da qui parte una complicata indagine che porterà Enrico Radeschi, giovane aspirante giornalista nonché hacker alle prime armi, a indagare, insieme allo scorbutico vicequestore Loris Sebastiani, su una misteriosa confraternita che trae ispirazione da san Carlo Borromeo e persegue un disegno spietato per ristabilire l'ordine morale.

Un commissario di polizia così a Bari non se l'erano mai nemmeno immaginato: Lolita Lobosco detta Lolì, trentasei anni, occhi sempre accesi, lunghi capelli corvini e una quinta di reggiseno che negli uomini evoca la pienezza dei frutti mediterranei. Ma in questa vigilia natalizia anche per lei le cose si fanno terribilmente complicate. C'è un arrestato, le dicono, uno stimato professionista, con il golfino di cachemire e le mani tanto curate, accusato di violenza sessuale. Quell'uomo lei lo conosce bene...

London, England: Slough House is where washed-up MI5 spies go to while away what’s left of their failed careers. The “slow horses,” as they’re called, have all disgraced themselves in some way to get relegated there. Maybe they botched an Op so badly they can’t be trusted anymore. Maybe they got in the way of an ambitious colleague and had the rug yanked out from under them. Maybe they just got too dependent on the bottle—not unusual in this line of work. One thing they have in common, though, is they want to be back in the action. And most of them would do anything to get there.

È la vigilia di una torrida estate e pochi eventi italiani, tranne i vicini mondiali di calcio, sembrano scuotere il ritmo levantino di Bari.

Lolita Lobosco, finiti i rituali del mattino – le spremute d'arancia e la contemplazione del mare –, arriva sul posto di lavoro di buonumore come sempre.
