Sotto gli occhi
by TA MooreL’avvocato divorzista Clayton Reynolds è un cinico felice che crede nel duro lavoro e nelle avventure di una notte. Crede anche che essere un ottimo avvocato significhi non dover mai più tornare al miserabile parcheggio per roulotte in cui è cresciuto e che fare volontariato in un rifugio per donne maltrattate serva a placare la sua coscienza che, di tanto in tanto, viene a tormentarlo. Così, quando Nadine Graham arriva con un braccio rotto e un figlio che desidera disperatamente proteggere, Clayton non può rifiutare la sua richiesta di aiuto. Accettare il caso significa rivolgersi all’investigatore Chiamami-Kelly-e-basta. Il che non sarebbe tanto male, se Kelly non fosse un inguaribile romantico… nonché l’uomo più sexy che lui abbia mai incontrato. Kelly ha sempre avuto una cotta per l’inarrivabile Clayton Reynolds e acconsente ad aiutarlo, anche se è già parecchio impegnato ad accudire il figlio del fratello rimasto vedovo. Quando il caso di Nadine si fa pericoloso, i due uomini, all’apparenza agli antipodi, sono costretti a collaborare, scoprendo così di avere moltissime cose in comune… ma risolvere il caso e salvare la vita di Nadine potrebbe costare caro a Kelly.

Reiko Himekawa of the Homicide Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is assigned to the investigation, along with her squad and several other units. From the amount of blood spilled in the van and at the crime scene, it’s clear to the team that the missing contractor Keninichi Takaoka is dead and presumably murdered. But searches of the area around the abandoned van and the river itself fail to turn up the rest of the body.The mystery surrounding the murder takes a sharp turn when a childhood friend of the presumed victim is shown a recent photo and definitively declares that the missing man is not Takaoka.

Soul Clap Hands and Sing
by Paule MarshallThe strong talent of Paule Marshall has matured in this, her second book. Woven through these four diverse and fascinating short novels is a theme that unifies them despite sharp differences of character and background.In each a man moving toward the later reaches of life experiences a climatic confrontation. In each a woman is involved as both a creative and a destructive force. In each a man is reaching out desperately to grasp at his life before it is gone. None succeeds, but the moment involves is presented with such vividness and dramatic force that it reveals and illumines depths of human experience.Paule Marshall writes a singing, effortless prose. Her insights into men and women are extraordinary: whether she is dealing with a small landowner in Barbados and the girl who is little more than a domestic slave; with a discredited college professor in Brooklyn and the lovely student he wants as consolation for a wasted life; with the last of a proud family of mixed blood in British Guiana and the woman who he feels robbed him of a crucial opportunity to prove his manhood; or a famous nightclub comedian and his woman partner in Brazil.—Print ed.
