Rhode Island Red (The Nanette Hayes Mysteries #1)
by Charlotte CarterThis New York noir tale of a saxophone-playing amateur detective takes some jazzy twists Saxophonist Nanette Hayes, a majestic five-foot-ten-inch Grace Jones lookalike with hot style, lives for the music of her jazz forebears. Self-taught Nan is no Charlie Parker, but she dreams big. She performs regularly--on the sidewalks of New York City. Not exactly the Village Vanguard, but it pays the bills in ways that her master's degree in French does not. Mostly, Nanette just tries to stay cool in the face of the worst kinds of hardship. Recently, this has taken the form of getting dumped--hard--by her live-in boyfriend, Walter. When her normally messy life is at its epic messiest, fellow street musician Sig walks up, and--after insulting her playing and narrowly missing being hit by a bus--changes everything. Out of nowhere, sixty grand that can't possibly be legit appears in Nan's sax. Suddenly she is contending with two grisly murders, a former lover who wants her back, a jazz-obsessed ex-con, and some scarifying cops who are trying to shake her down. Equal parts tough and romantic, Nanette uses her street-musician smarts and her New York City savvy to try to save her own skin and solve a musical mystery no less a legend than Bird himself.Rhode Island Red is the first book in the Nanette Hayes Mystery series.

Esbozado entre 2004 y 2005, retomado en 2016 y publicado póstumamente en 2020, Riccardino ha adquirido el valor de testamento literario, un broche magnífico a una historia de casi treinta años en el que Andrea Camilleri demuestra su genialidad al mezclar realidad y ficción, en un sorprendente guiño del escritor siciliano para despedirse de Salvo Montalbano, su inseparable compañero de aventuras. La crítica ha dicho...«Una novela que contiene alguna de las escenas más cómicas de Camilleri y algunas de las más emotivas, suspendidas entre las melancólicas brumas de la memoria.»Corriere della Sera «El último acto de servicio del comisario Montalbano es también un impresionante viaje en el tiempo.»La Repubblica «Un duelo entre creador y criatura sardónico y muy gratificante. [...] Tenía que ser un testamento, pero es más bien un carrusel literario que no concluye nunca.»il Fatto Quotidiano
