Inganno: Il bel ratto
by Jerry BaderHarry ha bisogno di provare sé stesso; ha bisogno di un po' di eccitazione nella sua vita, e quell'eccitazione arriva in un insieme mortale di intrighi e omicidi che combina qualcosa chiamato il Progetto Sorella con una spia russa, H, K. Kyrsa, nome in codice, il Bel Ratto. Il mondo è un luogo pericoloso e ogni Paese ha uomini e donne incaricati di proteggerlo. Queste persone hanno molti nomi: agente segreto, ufficiale dei servizi segreti e analista sono solo alcuni di essi. Harry è una di queste persone. È un analista. Passa il suo tempo a leggere, ricercare e analizzare, per poi scrivere rapporti che spesso non vedono mai la luce del giorno. Harry è ben istruito con un lavoro apparentemente importante, ma Harry si annoia. È annoiato perché gli analisti non fanno mai gli eroi, non ordinano mai cocktail mescolati e non agitati e non hanno mai una ragazza. Harry è frustrato, frustrato perché i suoi superiori gli hanno detto che il rapporto su cui ha appena speso sei mesi di lavoro deve essere presentato, e no, non può avere un agente operativo sul campo con cui lavorare per seguire il caso. Harry ha un difetto di carattere molto pericoloso, ha l'immaginazione, non qualcosa che gli uomini del Piano Superiore non apprezzano. Harry ha bisogno di mettersi alla prova; ha bisogno di un po' di eccitazione nella sua vita, e quell'eccitazione arriva in un pacchetto mortale di intrighi e omicidi che combina qualcosa chiamato il Progetto Sorella con una spia russa, H, K. Kyrsa, nome in codice, il Bel Ratto, e la devastante e bellissima Harriet. La domanda è: sta succedendo tutto nella testa di Harry o c'è un vero complotto che deve essere fermato? Harry è semplicemente pazzo o i russi vogliono incasinare l'Occidente ancora una volta? Harry è da solo, senza sapere di chi fidarsi. Ci sono i buoni nel mondo dello spionaggio? L'unico modo per scoprirlo è trovare Kyrsa, il Bel Ratto. Unisciti a Harry nella sua ricerca di ciò che potrebbe anche

A one-time NYPD homicide cop, Perry has been struggling since he lost his badge, and his marriage, in a notorious corruption scandal. So when wealthy Upper East Side matron Julia Drusilla calls him one cold February night, he jumps at the chance to work what seems to be a straightforward (and lucrative) case. Julia needs Perry to track down the whereabouts of her beautiful yet aimless daughter, Angelina, who is about to become a very wealthy young heiress. But as Perry digs deeper, he discovers there's much more to the story of the lovely "Angel." Her father, her best friend, her boyfriend--they all have agendas of their own. This classic noir tale twists and turns down New York's mean streets and around Hamptons' beaches and back roads, during a bitterly cold and gray winter where nothing is as it seems and everyone has something to hide. Told in the same "serial novel" format that made 2011's No Rest for the Dead such a commercial and critical success, Inherit the Dead is a collaboration among twenty of today's bestselling mystery and thriller authors--each taking a chapter of the narrative and infusing it with their signature style. The editor, Jonathan Santlofer, has arranged to donate any royalties in excess of editor and contributor compensation to Safe Horizon, a leading provider of services to victims of violence and abuse, making this a worthy--and winning--accomplishment that showcases today's finest writers at their very best.

Lenox, already gripped by a passionate interest in detective work, made discovering the benefactor’s identity his first case—but was never able to solve it. Now, years later, Leigh has been the recipient of a second, even more generous bequest. Is it from the same anonymous sponsor? Or is the money poisoned by ulterior motives?

When someone close to the bequest dies, Lenox must finally delve deep into the past to uncover at last the identity of the person who is either his friend’s savior—or his lethal enemy.
