Titoli in Investigatori privati

Sal Puglise ha sessantatré anni. Alle spalle tanti fallimenti e il futuro non si prospetta certo migliore: pensione da fame, due o tre amici fidati, un pappagallo fissato con le telenovelas e una solitudine che gli si allarga davanti agli occhi. Sulla scrivania pochi casi, squallide fotocopie uno dell'altro. D'altronde il mestiere dell'investigatore privato non è più quello di una volta. Infedeltà coniugali, dipendenti assenteisti, qualche persona scomparsa. E poi la gente, che è sempre meno disposta ad accettare la verità, e ancora meno a pagarla.

È solo, perché non ha bisogno di nessuno. Ma quando assiste per caso ai preparativi di un omicidio, d'istinto interviene e l'aggressore finisce ucciso.

The job of unraveling this sordid transatlantic mystery falls to Holmes and his trusty companion, Dr. Watson.

Scandal, treachery and crime are rife in Old London Town. A king blackmailed by his mistress, dark dealings in opium dens, stolen jewels, a missing bride - these are cases so fiendishly complex that only Sherlock Holmes would dare to investigate.

Together with his indefatigable partner, Brigadier Maione, Commissario Ricciardi, a man driven into solitude by his paranormal "gift" of seeing the final seconds in the lives of victims of violent deaths - a talent that also makes him a highly effective investigator - is conducting an investigation into the death of the beautiful and mysterious duchess of Camparino.
