I Cacciatori di Libri

release date: Dec 19, 2018
I Cacciatori di Libri
Stimare il valore di un volume è la specialità di Cliff Janeway, ex poliziotto di Denver e adesso libraio. Anche un esperto di libri come lui, però, può essere messo a dura prova da alcune prime edizioni firmate da personaggi noti. Come si fa ad avere la certezza che un autografo sia au-tentico? Perché le falsificazioni sembrano vere? Gli stessi problemi si presentano nel corso di un’indagine per omicidio in una piccola città di nome Paradise, nel Colorado. Janeway ac-cetta di dare una mano per il processo alla sua amata, l’avvocato Erin D’Angelo. I due devono capire se l’amica d’infanzia di Erin, con cui lei non parla da tempo, abbia davvero ucciso suo marito o se abbia confessato solo per protegge-re il figlio, un ragazzino turbolento affetto da una forma di autismo. Janeway scopre che la vittima possedeva una meravigliosa collezione di libri, ma non è solo il valore dei volumi che lo spinge a immergersi sempre più a fondo nei torbidi segreti della cittadina; è il desiderio di rimuovere strati di inganni e bugie per arrivare alla verità sulla “firma del libro”. Nel caso di un omicidio a sangue freddo, però, la verità è un lusso che non ha prezzo.

Die Radiosängerin

release date: Jan 18, 2021
Die Radiosängerin
Amerika im Sommer 1942: Das Land befindet sich in einem Zustand höchster Nervosität. Überall werden japanische oder deutsche Spione vermutet. Ein Medium erlebt in all den Wirren seine Blütezeit: das Radio. Als Jack Dulaney, ein erfolgloser Schriftsteller, erfährt, dass sein alter Freund Carnahan in Schwierigkeit steckt, zieht er quer durch das Land an die Küste von New Jersey. Hier, an einer kleinen Radiostation hat Carnahan zuletzt gearbeitet - bis er spurlos verschwand. Unter falschem Namen gelingt es Jack, bei dem Sender eine Anstellung zu finden. Die Hörspiele, die er zu schreiben beginnt, entfalten einen Zauber, der ihm bald den Ruf einträgt, ein Genie des Radios zu sein. Und dann trifft er Holly, Carnahans Tochter. Er hat sie einst geliebt, doch ist sie vor ihm und seiner Liebe davongelaufen. Holly singt in einer Band, ein geheimnisvoller Engel, dem alle Zuhörer verfallen sind. Das Wiedersehen der beiden verläuft äußerst kühl. Holly gibt vor, Jack nicht zu kennen - aus Angst, wie er bald erfährt. Sie glaubt, dass Spione, denen der Sender als Tarnung dient, ihren Vater getötet haben ... John Dunning ist ein großer Roman gelungen - eine wunderschöne Liebesgeschichte, eine Hommage an das Medium Radio und ein einzigartiger literarischer Thriller zugleich.
