Trace Elements: A Comissario Guido Brunetti Mystery (A Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery #30)
by Donna LeonThe New York Times–bestselling author of Unto Us a Son Is Given continues &“one of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever&” (The Washington Post). When a dying hospice patient gasps that her husband was murdered over &“bad money,&” Commissario Brunetti softly promises he and his colleague, Claudia Griffoni, will look into what initially appears to be a private family tragedy. They discover that the man had worked in the field, collecting samples of contamination for a company that measures the cleanliness of Venice&’s water supply, and that he had recently died in a mysterious motorcycle accident. Piecing together the tangled threads, 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 he reads Aeschylus&’s classic play The Eumenides. Praise for Donna Leon&’s Commissario Brunetti Mysteries &“[Leon] has never become perfunctory, never failed to give us vivid portraits of people and of Venice, never lost her fine, disillusioned indignation.&” —Ursula K. LeGuin, author of Dancing at the Edge of the World &“You become so wrapped up in these compelling characters. . . . Each one is better than the last.&” —Louise Erdrich, winner of the National Book Award for Fiction &“Leon&’s Venetian mysteries never disappoint, calling up the romantic sights and sounds of La Serenissima even as they acquaint us with the practical matters that concern the city&’s residents.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“The sophisticated but still moral Brunetti, with his love of food and his loving family, proves a worthy custodian of timeless values and verities.&” —The Wall Street Journal

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...

by Rebecca Cantrell Elena D'AmbrosioBerlino, 1931La Germania sta per cadere nelle mani dei nazisti. Truppe d'assalto e comunisti si scontrano nelle strade. Gli ebrei più ricchi e gli intellettuali pensano solo a come fuggire. I club di Berlino sono pieni di emarginati sociali e di persone dai più svariati orientamenti sessuali, pronti a raccogliere un ultimo ballo.Hannah Vogel vive sola e lavora come reporter di cronaca nera.Durante un'indagine di routine, trova la foto di suo fratello nella Hall dei Morti Senza Nome. 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. Questo romanzo indimenticabile, doloroso da leggere quanto la storia che fa presagire, si conclude con un finale giustamente agrodolce.» Publishers Weekly«Una storia umana e avvincente che cattura brillantemente l'atmosfera che si respirava a Berlino durante l'ascesa del nazismo.» Anne Perry, aut
