Does the hitman's hitman have the wrong quarry in his sights?

It's not the dead body - Jack Leightner has seen hundred of bodies in his tour with the NYPD. It's not the dank setting - the narrow banks along Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal. So why does the sight of the fatally stabbed young man make the detective almost faint in the canal's tangled weeds? Jack doesn't understand why he becomes obsessed with this low-priority case, why he allows it to jeopardize his career and even his life. Especially since the investigation draws him exactly where he doesn't want to go: into the heart of Red Hook.

Ashley McKenna is a blunt instrument. Find someone, scare someone, carry something; point him at the job, he gets it done. He generally accepts money upon completion, though a bottle of whiskey works, too - he's comfortable working on a barter system. It's not the career he dreamed about (archeologist) but it keeps him comfortable in his ever-changing East Village neighborhood.

From the introduction by David L. Ulin: "For me, Cape Cod is a repository of memory: forty summers in the same house will do that to you. But it is also a landscape of hidden tensions, which rise up when we least anticipate. In part, this has to do with social aspiration, which is one of the things that brought my family, like many others, to the Cape. In part, it has to do with social division, which has been a factor since at least the end of the nineteenth century, when then summer trade began."

Laura and Sam are obsessed with film noir. In their sun-drenched apartment in Miami, they watch 1940's black and white movies, whose characters move in shadows and narrow slats of light. They're fascinated by a Hollywood genre without happy endings, where everyone is corrupt, where lovers betray one another, where the war might be over and the boys might be home, but where nothing is going back to the way it was.

Doch ER ist längst zu ihrem Schatten geworden... einem Schatten der noch lange nicht hat, was er wollte.

When a group of Austrian cavers exploring a network of abandoned military tunnels in the Italian Alps come across human remains at the bottom of a deep shaft, everyone assumes the death was accidental - until the still unidentified body is stolen from the morgue and the Defence Ministry puts a news blackout on the case.

But this dearth of evidence is not Lapslie's only problem.

"Deve essere difficile per il vero colpevole sfuggire alle vostre investigazioni. Può non aver lasciato alcuna traccia materiale, ma voi cercate invece quelle morali e finite per trovarlo". Di Scerbanenco colpisce, soprattutto nei cinque gialli della serie con Arthur Jelling, il miscuglio di realismo e fantastico, di logica investigativa e psicologia. Un insieme che, ben amalgamato, dà ai suoi polizieschi una vaga atmosfera da cruda fiaba. L'effetto fiabesco è marcato dalla singolarità del timidissimo investigatore, dotato di una profondità psicologica da veggente.

Per contagiare l'ascoltatore, a Scerbanenco bastano pochi tratti. Già la presentazione iniziale, secca e lapidaria, degli Steve, i "filosofi", e del loro "antro", è sufficiente a rendere inevitabile il crimine. Il giallo si preannuncia subito come il dramma del fanatismo e delle sue conseguenze fatali.Sono quattro gli Steve, cultori teorici e pratici di scienze morali, vivono monacalmente in una squallida villetta di periferia, l'antro dei filosofi.

When a friendly bet goes horribly awry, they find themselves with two dead bodies on their hands and a homicidal husband in the wings - and acting more like hardened criminals than upstanding citizens.

The roots of racism and persecution in Tomsson Black's ancestry are deep and staggering. In his own lifetime, his misfortunes have become unbearable and, as they mount, serve as an impetus for a final and cataclysmic act of vengeance—the violent overthrow of white society. When acclaimed crime writer Chester Himes died in Spain in 1984, it was rumored that an unfinished story in the Harlem Detective series existed that had all but extinguished his heroes and their fraught city in an explosive paroxysm of racial strife.
