In Rome, in the middle of a cold winter in the Eighties, preparations for Christmas are in full swing. Near the Vatican City, in a workshop of sacred objects and clothes, old Rinaldo's day begins, as always, among the tourists crowding the streets and the smell of freshly baked pizza. At the same time, Commissioner Rosco says goodbye to the agents of his team, before the imminent transfer to the Rieti police station: the punishment for a mistake made during his last case. A forced confinement that will become the opportunity to show off his intuition and investigate a crime committed thirty years earlier. The two apparently unrelated situations will intertwine in a crescendo of incredible events, after the strange death of old Rinaldo, while a creepy voice follows the entire unfolding of the narration. With her original and clear style, here imbued with faith and sacredness, Daniela Alibrandi offers the reader a multidimensional thriller full of twists, centered on the eternal struggle between Good and Evil.

Off The Books
Nick Forte has lost his detective agency and makes ends meet doing background checks and other paperwork. He pays for everything else through jobs he takes for cash and without any written contract. What starts out as a simple investigation into a traffic accident exposes Forte to people who have truly lost everything and have no viable hope of reclaiming their lives. That doesn’t sit well with Forte, leading him and his friend Goose Satterwhite to take action that ends more violently than anyone expected.

The Two Fathers
The Two Fathers
Sam Dyke Investigations Book 11
by Keith Dixon
Genre: Mystery
Why does Jessica Hastings come home late several times a week?
Her
husband asks Private Investigator Sam Dyke this simple question. Dyke
doesn't want the case: he doesn't do divorce work ... but Brian
Hastings doesn't want a divorce, he wants an explanation.
When
Sam finds out what Jessica is doing, it opens up more questions. And
when Brian Hastings goes missing, they're questions he feels
compelled to answer.
At
the centre of the mystery is a man who most people in Manchester
don't know--Larry Stone. But those who do know him, know that far
from being the simple florist he seems to be, he's actually the
biggest crook in town. He's powerful, he's dangerous, and he's
currently working a deal with a Dutchman who's even worse.
And
Sam is now caught in Stone's sights as he works to find Brian
Hastings, to solve a couple of murders, and to prevent Stone
corrupting even more members of his own family than he already
has.
Before
the biggest deal of Stone's crooked career goes down.
