Ma ha prestato i suoi documenti ad alcuni amici ebrei in fuga, e non può identificarne il corpo e fare avviare le indagini.Sarà lei stessa a mettersi sulle tracce dell'assassino.Recensioni:«Narrazione intensa in un'agghiacciante ambientazione storica... un contesto insolitamente vivido da cui Hannah racconta la decadenza del suo mondo, cercando di non perdere la vita, o la testa.» The New York Times Book Review«Un ritratto crudo e realistico della Berlino degli anni '30. Mantenendo sempre alta la suspense, la Cantrell riesce con un ottimo lavoro a descrivere le paure dell'epoca attraverso i suoi personaggi. Decisamente raccomandato.» Library Journal«Un romanzo d'esordio inquietante. Evocativo, compassionevole, e coinvolgente.» Kirkus Reviews«La Cantrell riesce a descrivere sia l'atmosfera gioiosa del cabaret, sia la disperazione che galleggia tra le bollicine di champagne. Un debutto promettente.» Booklist«Ambientato nella Berlino del 1931, il romanzo di debutto della Cantrell, scrupolosamente documentato, tributa un oscuro requiem alla Germania di Weimar nei suoi ultimi giorni.

Trace
by Patricia CornwellWITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now freelancing from south Florida, returns to the city that turned its back on her five years ago. Richmond, Virginia's recently appointed chief medical examiner claims that he needs Scarpetta's help to solve a perplexing crime. When she arrives, however, Scarpetta finds that nothing is as she expected: her former lab is in the final stages of demolition; the inept chief isn't the one who requested her after all; her old assistant chief has developed personal problems that he won't reveal; and a glamorous FBI agent, whom Scarpetta dislikes instantly, meddles with the case. Deprived of assistance from colleagues Benton and Lucy, who are embroiled in what first appears to be an unrelated attempted rape by a stalker, Scarpetta is faced with investigating the death of a fourteen-year-old girl, working with the smallest pieces of evidence--traces that only the most thorough hunters can identify. She must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak--and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear...

Trace Elements (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries #29)
by Donna LeonWhen Dottoressa Donato calls the Questura to report that a dying patient at the hospice Fatebenefratelli wants to speak to the police, Commissario Guido Brunetti and his colleague, Claudia Griffoni, waste no time in responding. <P><P> "They killed him. It was bad money. I told him no," Benedetta Toso gasps the words about her recently-deceased husband, Vittorio Fadalto. Even though he is not sure she can hear him Brunetti softly promises he and Griffoni will look into what initially appears to be a private family tragedy. They discover that Fadalto worked in the field collecting samples of contamination for a company that measures the cleanliness of Venice's water supply and that he had died in a mysterious motorcycle accident. Distracted briefly by Vice Questore Patta's obsession with youth crime in Venice, Brunetti is bolstered once more by the remarkable research skills of Patta's secretary, Signora Elettra Zorzi. Piecing together the tangled threads, in time Brunetti comes to realize the perilous meaning in the woman's accusation and the threat it reveals to the health of the entire region. But justice in this case proves to be ambiguous, as Brunetti is reminded it can be when, seeking solace, he reads Aeschylus's classic play The Eumenides. <P><P> As she has done so often through her memorable characters and storytelling skill, Donna Leon once again engages our sensibilities as to the differences between guilt and responsibility.
