Marker, segnali d’allarme
En italien – New York, Manhattan General Hospital: persone sane e giovani, sottoposte a interventi di routine, muoiono ventiquattr’ore dopo l’operazione. La cosa insospettisce Laurie Montgomery, medico legale dell’ospedale. La dottoressa si getta a capofitto nell’indagine, anche se ostacolata da superiori e colleghi che pensano si tratti di pure coincidenze. Le morti però aumentano e Laurie è sempre più convinta che sia opera di un serial killer: tutte le vittime hanno infatti mappe genetiche simili. Che qualcuno abbia bisogno di materia su sui fare esperimenti? Il tempo scorre rapido ed è necessario trovare una soluzione all’enigma anche per salvare la vita alla stessa Laurie, che, positiva a un marker tumorale, scoprirà di avere un legame particolare con la vicenda…
Man and Superman, Arms and the Man, …..
En Anglais – 1898. Most of Shaw’s early plays were either banned by the censor or refused production. With Plays: Pleasant and Unpleasant he sought a reading audience. He also began the practice of writing the challenging, mocking, eloquent prefaces to his plays, which were sometimes longer than the play itself. This volume contains the Unpleasant: Widowers’ Houses; The Philanderer; and Mrs. Warren’s Profession.
La cote sauvage
Après deux ans de service militaire, Olivier revient passer ses vacances dans la maison de famille bretonne, où l’attendent sa mère et ses deux sœurs. La plus jeune, Anne, à laquelle il est tendrement attaché depuis l’enfance, lui apprend qu’elle va épouser Pierre, le meilleur ami d’Olivier. Quand Pierre les rejoint en Bretagne, Olivier, sacrifiant leur amitié, va tenter d’empêcher le mariage ; il décourage sa sœur, inquiète et humilie Pierre. Pourquoi veut-il que sa sœur Anne reste auprès de lui ? Est-ce un amour qui n’ose pas dire son nom ? Olivier arrivera-t-il à changer comme la saison et à redécouvrir l’autre versant de sa vie ? Il est capable de tout, silencieusement, même de se tuer, et le paysage doux, de brume et de soleil voilé, ne sera peut-être plus que le cadre ultime de sa vie.
The black country
En Anglais – When members of a prominent family disappear from a coal-mining village—and a human eyeball is discovered in a bird’s nest—the local constable sends for help from Scotland Yard’s new Murder Squad. Fresh off the grisly 1889 murders of The Yard, Inspector Walter Day and Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith respond, but they have no idea what they’re about to get into. The villagers have intense, intertwined histories. Everybody bears a secret. Superstitions abound. And the village itself is slowly sinking into the mines beneath it. Not even the arrival of forensics pioneer Dr. Bernard Kingsley seems to help. In fact, the more the three of them investigate, the more they realize they may never be allowed to leave . . . .
