Adam's Rib: A Rocco Schiavone Mystery (Rocco Schiavone Mysteries)
by Antonio ManziniFrom the bestselling author of Black Run comes Antonio Manzini’s mesmerizing second mystery novel featuring detective Rocco Schiavone.Six months after being exiled from his beloved Rome, Deputy Police Chief Rocco Schiavone has settled into a routine in the cold, quiet, chronically backward alpine town of Aosta: an espresso at home, breakfast in the piazza, and a morning joint in his office.A little self-medication helps Rocco deal with the morons that almost exclusively comprise the local force. Especially on a day like today. It’s his girlfriend’s birthday (if you could call her that; in his mind, Rocco’s only faithful to his late wife), he has no gift—and he’s about to stumble upon a corpse.It begins when a maid reports a burglary in Aosta. But there’s no sign of forced entry, and after Rocco picks the lock, he notices something off about the carefully ransacked rooms. That’s when he finds the body: a woman, the maid’s employer, left hanging after a grisly suicide. Or is it? Rocco’s intuition tells him the scene has been staged. In other words, it’s murder—a pain in the ass of the highest order.In this stylish international mystery, Antonio Manzini further establishes Rocco Schiavone as one of the most acerbic, complicated, and entertaining antiheroes crime fiction has seen in years.

Ad ogni costo
by Larry Darter Eva Melisa MastroianniUna storia di inganno, tradimento, scelte oscure e omicidi ispirati a una storia sconvolgente. Ad ogni costo, il libro di debutto della nuova serie di gialli del Detective Ben Malone, è una corsa elettrizzante ad alto rischio attraverso il grintoso ventre della Città degli Angeli. Il detective della divisione di Hollywood Ben Malone è coinvolto in una serie di eventi sfortunati. La peggiore è il suo sfortunato coinvolgimento in tre sparatorie fatali in meno di un anno in un momento in cui gli attivisti stanno protestando contro l'uso della forza letale da parte della polizia. L'ondata di sparatorie porta i suoi superiori della polizia di Los Angeles al limite e mette in discussione il suo giudizio. Malone è troppo propenso ad usare la forza mortale? Sollevato dal servizio di strada, Malone è affidato alla Sezione Casi Irrisolti della divisione Rapine e Omicidi per tenerlo sotto controllo mentre è sottoposto a una valutazione psichiatrica imposta dal dipartimento. I suoi problemi legati al lavoro, aggravati da un'ex-moglie vendicativa intenzionata a distruggerlo, Malone scende in una spirale di depressione che presto lo fa bere troppo nel tentativo di far fronte alle sue sventure. Inizialmente risentito per la sua riassegnazione alla Crimini Irrisolti, l'atteggiamento di Malone inizia a cambiare quando lui e il suo nuovo socio, il detective Jaime Reyes, si imbattono in un caso di omicidio irrisolto di 23 anni prima. Più scoprono, più diventano fiduciosi che la teoria perseguita dagli investigatori originali, un omicidio derivante da un furto con scasso, è stata completamente sbagliata. L'omicidio pluridecennale non si adatta ai criteri dell'unità per riaprire un caso freddo per un'indagine attiva, così Malone e Reyes intraprendono un'indagine off-the-book che, prevedibilmente, crea problemi, specialmente per Malone. Diventa subito chiaro che ci sono forze potenti al lavoro sia all'interno che all'esterno della polizia di Los Angeles, determ
