Jamal loves to run. But one morning - as he is training on a path winding up a steep cliff - he stumbles across a woman in distress. It's a matter of seconds: suddenly she is falling through the air, crashing on the beach below. Jamal is only an unlucky bystander - or is he?His version of events doesn't seem to fit with what other eyewitnesses claim to have seen. And how to explain the red scarf carefully arranged around the dead woman's neck? Perhaps this was no accident after all. Or perhaps there is something more sinister afoot - a devilish plan decades in the making, masterminded by someone hell-bent on revenge.

En una fría mañana de diciembre, cerca de via Porpora, el cuerpo de una bella joven rubia es encontrado sin vida dentro de su Mickey Mouse de amaranto. La autopsia revela que fue asesinada por una inyección letal de cianuro. No se tarda mucho en averiguar la identidad de la niña asesinada, Gilda Dell'Acqua, propietaria del café Le Gemelle, un bar de tabaco en Piazzale Loreto. La investigación está encomendada a Mario Arrigoni, comisario jefe de Porta Venezia, y envuelve el pintoresco mundo de los mecenas del club, desde el gemelo de la víctima hasta un tío escurridizo y lascivo, pasando por un enigmático marqués, el gerente de un garito clandestino y un guapísima amiga de Gilda en trajes casuales... Los investigadores se mueven en un intrincado contexto de fiestas emocionantes, relaciones ambiguas, drogas y apuestas. Pero la investigación no da un solo paso: no surgen motivos ni pruebas confiables, y las huellas se disuelven como la nieve al sol. Tanto es así que ahora Arrigoni parece a punto de izar la bandera blanca y cerrar con nada la investigación, cuando, de forma totalmente inesperada, se reabren los juegos...

From New York Times best-selling author Lori Lansens comes a harrowing survival story about four strangers who spend five days lost in the mountain wilderness above Palm Springs.Four go up the mountain, but only three will come down.On the morning of Wolf Truly's 18th birthday, he boards the first cable car to head up the mountains just a few miles from his sun-bleached trailer home in the desert community outside of Palm Springs. Armed with nothing but the clothes on his back, Wolf's intention that morning was to give up on life - specifically at the mountain site of his best friend's tragic accident one year ago. But on that shaky ride up the mountain, fate intervenes and Wolf meets three women that will leave an indelible imprint on the rest of his life. Through a series of missteps, the four wind up lost and stranded among the forested cliffs - in sight of the desert city below, but unable to find a way down.As the days pass without rescue, we come to learn how each of them came to be on the mountain that morning. And as their situation shifts from misadventure to nightmare, the lost hikers forge an inextricable bond, pushing themselves, and each other, beyond their limits.Reminiscent of John Krakauer's modern classic Into the Wild and Cheryl Strayed's number-one best-selling Oprah-endorsed Wild, Lori Lansen's The Mountain Story is a deeply affecting novel that pays homage to the rugged beauty - and utterly unforgiving nature - of the wilderness, and considers the question: What price are you willing to pay not only for the ones you love, but for a complete stranger?

En 2018, Diégane Latyr Faye, jeune écrivain sénégalais, découvre à Paris un livre mythique, paru en 1938 : Le Labyrinthe de l'inhumain. On a perdu la trace de son auteur, qualifié en son temps de ''Rimbaud nègre'', depuis le scandale que déclencha la parution de son texte. Diégane s'engage alors, fasciné, sur la piste du mystérieux T.C. Elimane, où il affronte les grandes tragédies que sont le colonialisme ou la Shoah. Du Sénégal à la France en passant par l'Argentine, quelle vérité l'attend au centre de ce labyrinthe ? Sans jamais perdre le fil de cette quête qui l'accapare, Diégane, à Paris, fréquente un groupe de jeunes auteurs africains : tous s'observent, discutent, boivent, font beaucoup l'amour, et s'interrogent sur la nécessité de la création à partir de l'exil. Il va surtout s'attacher à deux femmes : la sulfureuse Siga, détentrice de secrets, et la fugace photojournaliste Aïda...D'une perpétuelle inventivité, La plus secrète mémoire des hommes est un roman étourdissant, dominé par l'exigence du choix entre l'écriture et la vie, ou encore par le désir de dépasser la question du face-à-face entre Afrique et Occident. Il est surtout un chant d'amour à la littérature et à son pouvoir intemporel. ''Le temps est assassin ? Oui. Il crève en nous l'illusion que nos blessures sont uniques. Elles ne le sont pas. Aucune blessure n'est unique. Rien d'humain n'est unique. Tout devient affreusement commun dans le temps. Voilà l'impasse , mais c'est dans cette impasse que la littérature a une chance de naître.''

Il volume raccoglie due racconti, già pubblicati separatamente, della scrittrice istriana. Il primo, ''Verde acqua'', è una testimonianza, vista da un'angolazione molto privata, di un dramma collettivo: quello dell'esodo di trecentomila italiani dall'Istria e dalla Dalmazia nell'immediato dopoguerra. Il secondo, ''La radura'', è una metafora poetica e malinconica dell'esperienza umana.
