Once one of Wall Street&’s most powerful forces, Donald McAdam&’s life changed when he found himself in a tight spot with the SEC. Either give up everything, they told him, or inform on your friends. Never one for loyalty, McAdam chose the wire, and sent half the stockbrokers in New York to prison. Now he&’s filthy rich, isolated, and so paranoid that he buys his cocaine laced with strychnine, in hopes of building up a tolerance for the poison. His caution doesn&’t help him, however, when he tumbles off his high-rise balcony and falls headfirst back down to Wall Street. Soon afterward, one of the men McAdam put away invites ex–FBI investigator Gregor Demarkian on a very peculiar cruise—onboard a cramped precise replica of the Mayflower. But when the behavior of the passengers proves rather un-Puritan, Demarkian discovers something that would have shocked Columbus: a New World murder.

Febbre del cuore
by Bob Van LaerhovenDopo il successo della raccolta "Pericolose ossessioni", i cui racconti hanno in comune lo scenario della guerra, l'autore fiammingo Van Laerhoven stupisce ancora con cinque storie che gettano una luce penetrante sui nostri impulsi più autodistruttivi. Un mercenario siriano di Bashar al Assad dipendente dagli steroidi è deciso a diventare un "martire" dopo la perdita del braccio destro dovuta al "fuoco amico". Un conducente in pensione della metropolitana di Londra è ossessionato dal desiderio di vendicare sul proprio nipote il brutale omicidio dei suoi genitori in Croazia. Uno scrittore di viaggio belga rimane invischiato nella follia della guerra in Kosovo durante gli anni Novanta e molto tempo dopo a New York diventa testimone delle drammatiche conseguenze del conflitto. Un cinico pittore d'arte grezza di Bruxelles tradisce il suo migliore amico, un falsario ruandese, consegnandolo alla mafia e così facendo apre la porta al senso di colpa, alla lussuria e all'omicidio. Negli anni Settanta un bugiardo nato, soprannominato Johnny di Machio, si reca a Poona, in India, nel tentativo di risolvere i propri problemi sessuali nell'ashram di Bhagwan, ma rimane intrappolato in un labirinto di violenza a lungo nascosta. Come scrive Aldous Huxley ne "Il mondo nuovo" (1932): "Le parole possono essere paragonate ai raggi X; se si usano a dovere, attraversano ogni cosa." Ed è ciò che fa Van Laerhoven, portando alla luce la nostra solitudine interiore e il nostro ego famelico. "Febbre del cuore" è più di una malattia passeggera.

Feet of Clay: A Discworld Novel (City Watch #3)
by Terry Pratchett“This is fantasy served with a twist of Monty Python, parody that works by never taking itself too seriously.” —Publishers WeeklyMurder! Mahem! Bacon sandwiches! People are dying suspiciously in Ankh-Morpork, and Sam Vimes of the City Watch will find the truth. Another brilliant and hilarious Discworld adventure from beloved New York Times bestselling author Terry PratchettFor Commander Sam Vimes, Head of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of trouble . . . and more trouble: a werewolf with pre-lunar tension, a dwarf with attitude, a golem who’s begun to think for itself. Now he’s got the unusual deaths of three elderly Ankh-Morporkians on his hands. It’s murder in Discworld!—which ordinarily is no big deal. The problem is, the deaths do not bear the clean, efficient marks of the Assassins' Guild; there’s an apparent lack of motive, and there’s no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene. What Vimes does have are some tracks of white clay and more bothersome “clue” thingies that muck up his investigations.The anger of a fearful populace is already targeting the city’s small community of golems—those mindless, absurdly industrious creatures of baked clay, who can occasionally be found toiling in the city's factories. And certain highly placed personages are using the unrest as an excuse to resurrect a monarchy—which would be bad enough even if their would-be “king” wasn’t as empty-headed as your typical animated pottery.In addition to quieting the restless populace, Vimes has to find out whodunit—and howdunit too. He’s not even sure what they dun. But as soon as he knows what the questions are, he’s going to look for some answers.The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Feet of Clay is the 3rd book in the City Watch collection and the 17th Discworld book.The City Watch collection in order:Guards!
