Crime and mystery: hard-boiled crime, noir fiction

Milano, 1958. Leonardo Bruni dirige l’omonima e fortunata casa editrice con sede in Porta Venezia. Tra i suoi collaboratori spicca Alberto Masserini, correttore di bozze poi promosso a redattore capo dopo aver scovato e fatto pubblicare un romanzo di successo.La sua fortuna però si esaurisce presto, perché viene trovato con la gola squarciata nel suo appartamento in via Settala.L’assassinio del giovane e brillante redattore capo porta Arrigoni a indagare in un ambiente per lui del tutto nuovo, quello dell’editoria. Il caso si presenta piuttosto complicato: l’omicidio è avvenuto a casa della vittima, ma non c’è traccia di forzature alla porta d’ingresso né tanto meno impronte digitali: l’assassino ha agito con freddezza e lucidità.L’indagine mette il commissario in contatto con i vari personaggi che hanno a che fare con la casa editrice: l’editore, la moglie e i componenti dei diversi reparti, più il classico ricorso alla portinaia della vittima. Ma non ne esce un gran che, se non che il defunto aveva una forte passione per le donne e il gioco d’azzardo. L’inchiesta si allarga così coinvolgendo anche conoscenze extra lavorative del Masserini...La soluzione del caso alla fine arriverà nel modo più inaspettato e imprevedibile, con la scoperta di un assassino assolutamente insospettabile.©2022 Società Editrice Milanese (P)2022 Saga EgmontDario Crapanzano, nato a Milano, nel 1970 ha pubblicato la guida sentimentale A Milano con la ragazza...e no.

Der erste Teil der erfolgreichen Thriller-Serie um das Ermittlerduo Carol Jordan und Tony Hill beginnt mit dem Fund von vier männlichen Leichen in Yorkshire. Diese Entdeckung ist selbst für das hartgesottene Team der Mord-Kommission ein Schock: Offenbar wurden die Opfer vor ihrer Ermordung mit mittelalterlichen Folter-Instrumenten gequält und verstümmelt. Obwohl alles nach der Tat eines Serienkillers aussieht, besteht der Superintendent darauf, dass die Morde getrennt voneinander untersucht werden.Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan und der um Unterstützung gebetene Psychologe und Profiler Tony Hill arbeiten dennoch an einem Täterprofil des möglichen Serienkillers. Sie stellen fest, dass die Morde immer einem bestimmten Muster folgen. Und sie decken auf, dass die Opfer des Serienkillers gar nicht, wie vorerst angenommen, homosexuell waren. Die Zeit wird immer knapper, denn schon taucht eine weitere Leiche auf: Wieder verstümmelt und wieder gefoltert, doch dieses Mal ist es einer von ihnen, ein Polizist. Wird es Carol und Tony gelingen, den grausamen Serienkiller zu stoppen? Mit einer Sache haben beide nicht gerechnet: selbst das nächste Opfer zu werden.Val McDermid, geboren 1955, arbeitete lange als Dozentin für Englische Literatur und als Journalistin bei namhaften britischen Tageszeitungen.

La quinta colección de irresistibles cuentos cortos del maestro del arte de contar historias, Jeffrey Archer. Tramas ingeniosamente urdidas, con personajes dibujados con esmero y conclusiones deliciosamente inesperadas, con el aliciente de las ilustraciones a color del artista internacional Ronald Searle. Durante su encarcelamiento de dos años en cinco prisiones diferentes, Jeffrey Archer reunió varias ideas para cuentos cortos. En esta colección se presentan algunos de ellos, como «El hombre que robó su propia oficina de correos», la historia del director general de una compañía que intenta envenenar a su esposa durante un viaje a San Petersburgo... con inesperadas consecuencias. En otro de ellos, «Maestro», un restaurador italiano acaba en la cárcel, incapaz de explicar a Hacienda cómo es que posee un yate, un Ferrari y una casa en Florencia a pesar de que solo declara un beneficio de 70.000 libras anuales. «El rey rojo» es la historia de un timador que descubre que un Lord inglés necesita una última pieza de ajedrez para completar un tablero que puede llegar a valer una fortuna. En otro de estos relatos, «El inspector», un timador de Bombay acaba en la morgue tras usar al jefe de policía como cebo en su último golpe. «La coartada» nos habla de un convicto que se las arregla para quitar de en medio a un viejo enemigo aun estando entre rejas, con dos funcionarios de prisiones como coartada. Un fuerte contraste presenta el contable que, en «La caridad empieza en casa», se da cuenta de que no ha conseguido nada memorable en vida y se propone hacerse con una fortuna antes de su jubilación. Y por supuesto, tenemos la historia favorita de Archer, con la que se cruzó recién salido de prisión: «El ojo del que mira», en la que un guapo futbolista de primera división se enamora de una chica obesa... que resulta ser la novena mujer más rica de Italia. Jeffrey Archer es el único autor que ha conseguido coronar las listas de bestsellers ya sea en ficción, no ficción o relatos cortos. Puede que algunos presos antiguos hayan servido de inspiración para Cat O’Nine Tales, pero el autor se ha valido de esa inspiración para tejer historias tristes, ingeniosas e inolvidables, rematadas por las divertidísimas ilustraciones de Ronald Searle.Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano.Jeffrey Archer es un autor y ex-político británico.
