by James ComeyA Newsweek and Reader's Digest most-anticipated read of 2023. In the thrilling first crime novel from the former director of the FBI, a murder investigation reveals deadly connections between high-ranking politicians and the mafia. The gripping crime fiction debut from former FBI director James Comey takes readers deep inside the world of lawyers and investigators working to solve a murder while navigating the treacherous currents of modern politics and the mob. When a years-long case against a powerful mobster finally cracks and an unimpeachable witness takes the stand, federal prosecutor Nora Carleton is looking forward to putting the defendant away for good. The mobster, though, has other plans. As the witness’s testimony concludes, a note is passed to the prosecution offering up information into the assassination of a disgraced former New York governor, murdered in his penthouse apartment just days before. It’s enough to blow the case wide open, and to send Nora into a high-stakes investigation of conspiracy, corruption, and danger.

That unique perspective gives the novel much of its allure, but it’s the unforgettable characters, shocking twists, and courtroom scenes as authentic as they are dramatic that will leave readers looking forward to more from this bold new talent in the genre.

Centro Perfetto: Quando gli attentatori suicidi non sono dei fanatici religiosi! (Centro Perfetto #1)
by Owen JonesCentro Perfetto Quando gli attentatori suicidi non sono dei fanatici religiosi! Quando un kamikaze si fa esplodere allo Sheherazade, un grande magazzino di Baghdad, la reazione delle autorità irachene è di considerarlo un normale atto di terrorismo e assegnare il caso al capitano Allawi della polizia nazionale irachena. Mentre ispeziona abitualmente le riprese video delle telecamere di sicurezza, un giovane poliziotto con la vista acuta nota che l’attentatore suicida non è quello che vuole far credere, e questo da una svolta all’indagine in una direzione che nessuno aveva mai considerato possibile prima. Le conseguenze di questa nuova forma di terrorismo sono terribili. Poi, in un breve lasso di tempo, si verificano altri sei crimini che coinvolgono attentatori suicidi, inspiegabili a meno che non siano visti alla stessa luce dell’attentato di Baghdad. Questo porta le forze di polizia di Marsiglia, Essen, Belfast, New York, Londra e Los Boliches a lavorare insieme sotto l’egida dell’Interpol per mettere fine a questa nuova banda criminale. Una svolta arriva quando la polizia si rende conto che ci sono diversi moventi per gli attentati suicidi, ma dal momento che i colpevoli sono imprevedibili, arrestarli diventa impossibile. L’unica tattica percorribile è concentrarsi sul metodo di ricerca degli attentatori, anche se ovviamente muoiono tutti nelle incursioni. Il caso inizia a sembrare senza speranza. Nonostante numerose piccole svolte, le forze di polizia congiunte, a capo del capitano Allawi, non riescono a compiere importanti progressi, quindi chiedono al governo cinese l’assistenza dei loro esperti di Internet, perché si ritiene che siano i migliori al mondo. I cinesi, con l’ausilio delle autorità lettoni e argentine, rintracciano il probabile quartier generale della banda nell’Inghilterra occidentale, e quando i loro omologhi britannici esaminano i dati
