Il caso dell'abominevole pupazzo di neve 4-nov-2020

10,99 € 14,00 €

Un piccolo grande capolavoro, la riscoperta di un classico del periodo d’oro del romanzo giallo.
Mancano pochi giorni a Natale, le campagne di Easterham Manor sono imbiancate da un folto strato di neve, le strade sono completamente ghiacciate e la famiglia Restorick è riunita a Dower House con alcuni amici. Mentre i bambini giocano a costruire pupazzi di neve, gli adulti si intrattengono nella grande casa tra pettegolezzi, cene e… sedute spiritiche.
Il detective Nigel Strangeways è arrivato in città proprio per indagare sugli strani risvolti di una seduta spiritica che, a quanto pare, invece di evocare lo spirito di un vescovo, ha fatto impazzire il gatto di famiglia. Ma, la mattina dopo il suo arrivo, Elizabeth Restorick viene trovata impiccata nella sua stanza: il corpo nudo, le labbra dipinte di rosso, bella nella morte quanto nella vita.
Suicidio? Strangeways capisce subito che c’è qualcosa che non va: la porta era chiusa dall’interno, ma la luce era spenta e la giovane donna sembrava tutt’altro che depressa… Sono molti gli indizi discordanti e tanti i moventi – tanti quanti gli ospiti della casa: lo scrittore innamorato, il medico che l’aveva in cura, il fratello devoto, l’amica gelosa. L’unica cosa chiara è che qualcuno sta cercando in tutti i modi di depistare le indagini, ma è difficile ingannare l’affascinante e incredibilmente colto Strangeways.

La belva deve morire 20-ott-2021

da Nicholas Blake, Giuseppina Caricchio

( 2 )

2,99 € 14,00 €

Frank Cairnes, il famoso scrittore di gialli, è sconvolto dalla morte del piccolo Martie, il figlio che a soli 7 anni è stato barbaramente investito da un’auto. La polizia non è in grado di rintracciare l’automobilista e le ricerche vengono presto sospese ma Frank non riesce a darsi pace, tanto che decide di continuare a cercarlo con i propri mezzi. Dopotutto è uno scrittore di romanzi polizieschi e il suo alter ego letterario, Felix Lane, è esperto di medicina legale, diritto e procedura penale.
«Ho deciso di uccidere un uomo. Non so chi sia né dove viva, non ho idea di che aspetto abbia. Ma lo troverò e lo ucciderò.» Questo è l’inizio fulminante del diario in cui Frank narra le vicende di Felix Lane, novello aspirante assassino, che grazie a una serie di azzeccate deduzioni e a un po’ di fortuna riesce a trovare il vigliacco automobilista che gli ha portato via il figlio. E di come, sotto falsa identità, si insinua nella sua vita e comincia a pianificare di ucciderlo. Ma quando l’uomo muore avvelenato prima che lui possa mettere in atto la sua vendetta, ecco che Cairnes/Lane diventa improvvisamente il sospettato numero uno, e il diario la principale prova a suo carico. Toccherà al detective Nigel Strangeways fare chiarezza su questa complicata vicenda.
Per la sua costruzione atipica e particolarmente avvincente La belva deve morire è uno dei gialli più acclamati di Nicholas Blake e della fortunata serie di Nigel Strangeways tanto da essere selezionato dall’Observer tra i 1.000 romanzi da leggere nella vita.

Ein glühend Messer (German Edition) 7-nov-2013

da Nicholas Blake, Jakob Vandenberg

( 3 )

8,99 €

Was als unbeschwerter Kurzurlaub am Meer mit der jungen Geliebten Laura gedacht war, endet für den verheirateten Schriftsteller Ned Stowe in einem Alptraum. Eines Abends nämlich begegnet er in einem abgelegenen englischen Hafen dem skrupellosen Lebemann Charles Hammer, der Neds Nöte durchschaut und eine perfekte Lösung vorschlägt: einen Pakt zur Beseitigung von Neds neurotischer Ehefrau und zum Mord an einem Onkel, der Hammers beruflicher Karriere im Wege steht. Der Plan für einen perfekten Doppelmord mit vertauschten Opfern scheint zunächst brilliant, doch die Dinge entwickeln sich weit dramatischer und ganz anders, als die beiden Männer das zunächst erwartet hatten.

Nicholas Blake, ein Pseudonym des englischen Lyrikers Cecil Day-Lewis (1904-1972), zählt zu den klassischen Autoren des englischen Kriminalromans. 'Ein glühend Messer' liegt hier erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor.

The Private Wound (English Edition) 17-ott-2012

da Nicholas Blake

( 6 )

4,25 € 6,07 €

In the West of Ireland in 1939 a young novelist rents a lonely cottage to write his new book in peace.

Almost at once, and without great resistance, he is seduced by the wife of the local squire. Harriet's husband is an older man - hot-tempered, impoverished, gone to seed - who once fought famously against the Black and Tans. Soon this eternal triangle becomes a local scandal, and the atmosphere of threat and violence, intensified by the approaching war in Europe, leads to a horrific murder.

The Private Wound is Nicholas Blake's last book, written with such intensity of feeling and depth of character that it is widely regarded as his best.

The Deadly Joker (Bloomsbury Reader) (English Edition) 19-set-2012

da Nicholas Blake

( 12 )

10,21 € 14,59 €

When John Waterson and his young wife chose Netherplash Cantorum, Dorset, for their retirement years, they could not have predicted that this idyllic spot had one severe but unforeseeable drawback: among its inhabitants was a practical joker whose fertile mind ran to the most bizarre and grotesque designs.

The Village was no place for a quite retirement, or for a gentle recuperation from the nervous breakdown that had afflicted Waterson's wife. In Netherplash, the peace is continually disrupted with extraordinary events tripping over each other which, in the end, lead to a hideous and painful murder.

With a cast of characters who are both bizarre and believable, this is an original tour-de-force of crime fiction placing Blake firmly in the genre.

"It really shouldn't be missed...this is a book with an extremely original approach and an extremely original idea." - The Sunday Times

A Tangled Web (English Edition) 16-lug-2012

da Nicholas Blake

( 4 )

4,25 € 6,07 €

Hugo Chesterman is on trial for murdering a policeman. Why did he do it? Or could he be innocent?

Daisy Bland is young, beautiful and naive, and her testimony threatens to send her husband to the gallows.

For Daisy, it all started when she literally bumped into Hugo and fell madly in love. She gave up everything for him: her job, her friends, her independence. Blinded by love, she asks no questions about his vague profession as a 'commission agent', his suspicious associates and his reckless financial decisions.

When Hugo is arrested for the murder of a policeman in a burglary gone wrong, Daisy doesn't know what to believe. Her husband's life is now in her hands.

First published in 1956, A Tangled Web is an intelligent, off-beat crime thriller.

"A persuasive study in criminal character that is a model fusion of the suspense story and mainstream fiction...wholly admirable writing." - The New York Times
