Cristina Origone"Il sussulto della pioggia"Golem Edizionihttps://golemedizioni.itCamilla Serra, la conduttrice del programma “Segreti e Misteri”, scopre per caso nell'appartamento di Elvira, l'anziana vicina di casa, il cadavere della donna. La morte sembra per cause naturali, ma il mistero si infittisce quando Camilla si accorge che, nell'abitazione dell'amica, manca un vecchio ritratto di Philippe Dubois, un misterioso pittore francese. Chi aveva interesse a rubare un quadro all'apparenza di poco valore? Elvira era già morta quando il ladro è entrato nell'abitazione? Camilla, indecisa sul da farsi, si rivolge a Tancredi Massari, il tenebroso commissario con cui ha una relazione altalenante. Le indagini li riavvicinano e prendono una piega inaspettata. Incoraggiata da Luc Bertand, un enigmatico giornalista francese, si trova coinvolta in un intreccio che la porta in Francia, alla scoperta della vita del pittore e del passato di Elvira. Negli anni Settanta, per un breve periodo, Philippe e la vicina di Camilla sono stati impegnati nelle frange estreme della contestazione politica, ed Elvira faceva parte di un gruppo femminista. Al commissario non resta che indagare pm a fondo per aiutare Camilla, e la paura di perderla lo porterà a fare scelte azzardate e significative soprattutto quando la vita della stessa Camilla sembra essere in pericolo .Cristina Origone è nata a Genova.

Dario Galimberti"La ruggine del tempo"Un'indagine del delegato di polizia Ezechiele Berettalibro/maniahttps://libromania.net/Lugano, 1881. Una banda di ladri penetra nel castello di Trevano e fa razzia di preziosi. Poco dopo Vera von Derwies, figlia del barone proprietario del castello, muore in seguito a una caduta da cavallo. E nei giorni seguenti la tragedia torna ad abbattersi sul castello: vengono trovati senza vita lo stesso barone e un giovane inserviente, Nuto.Cinquant'anni dopo, l'anziana Liside chiama al proprio capezzale il figlioccio Ezechiele Beretta, massima autorità della polizia cittadina, e gli chiede di indagare sulla morte di Vera. Ormai prossima alla fine, la donna – all'epoca dei fatti in servizio al castello – non riesce a darsi pace: è convinta che quella caduta da cavallo non sia stata accidentale.Nonostante le circostanze della richiesta e le prove inconsistenti, il Beretta si interessa al caso: assistito dall'appuntato Bernasconi appura che le teorie di Liside sono più plausibili del previsto, e qualcosa non quadra neanche nella morte del povero Nuto.L'indagine storica si sovrappone a quella su una morte più recente e altrettanto misteriosa, che porta Beretta a scontrarsi con personaggi in vista della Lugano che conta e tinge di sangue le acque blu del lago che bagna la città.Dario GalimbertiDario Galimberti è architetto e vive a Lugano, in Svizzera.

Sabrina Caregnato"Il diavolo a rovescio"LibriManiahttps://libromania.net/Abruzzo, 1572. Una nobile e antica casata, due fratelli, due destini: immutabili, prestabiliti da ferree leggi dinastiche. Un duplice crimine sconvolge il solco tracciato dalla volontà umana. Il giovane cadetto deve partire per Venezia dove per caso, o forse per fatalità, riscopre il piacere non soltanto dei sensi, ma anche e soprattutto della libertà e dell'autodeterminazione. E per un nobiluomo le opportunità non mancano. L'avventura si trasforma così in una sorta di viaggio iniziatico, attraverso i fasti e i lati oscuri della città più edonistica e pragmatica dell'Italia tardorinascimentale. In Abruzzo però gli eventi famigliari incalzano. Proprio quando l'incontro con una donna misteriosa e sensuale sta per trascinarlo in un irresistibile vortice, un imprevisto rimescola le carte in gioco…Sabrina Caregnato è mediatrice, specialista in gestione dei conflitti e dei rischi psicosociali sul lavoro, vive a Ginevra, in Svizzera. Ha pubblicato vari racconti e poesie su riviste letterarie.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Salvo Bilardello"Il violino della salvezza"libro/maniahttps://www.deaplanetalibri.it/Vincitore del premio Fai Viaggiare la tua Storia 2020A ottobre Trieste sembra un dipinto. Dal porto si stende una tela blu e all'orizzonte luccicano come argento le vele della Barcolana gonfiate dal vento. Anche il commissario Renzo De Stefano, da poco trasferitosi a Trieste da Aquileia per raggiungere la sua compagna, cerca di godersi l'atmosfera di festa che la famosa regata porta in città, quando arriva la notizia che la 47° edizione della gara è stata macchiata da un duplice delitto: a bordo di un'imbarcazione sono stati ritrovati due corpi, uno dei quali marchiato a sangue con le lettere NN. De Stefano analizza scrupolosamente l'insolita scena del delitto e inizia subito a indagare, ma gli omicidi non sono finiti, si susseguono uno dopo l'altro in diversi luoghi della città. Il marchio NN sembra essere la firma di una mente spietata e con un piano molto preciso. Cos'altro accomuna le vittime di queste terrificanti esecuzioni? Tra false piste e la pressione di un'opinione pubblica sempre più spaventata, De Stefano e i suoi uomini iniziano una corsa contro il tempo per fermare una scia di sangue che sembra inarrestabile e si intreccia alla dolorosa storia della città.Salvo Bilardello vive tra Trieste e Marsala, è un chimico prestato alla scrittura e oggi si occupa di consulenze. Autore di diversi articoli di divulgazione scientifica, è un amante di gialli e thriller e un grande appassionato di Simenon, Mankell, Dexter.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
