By now il morto was clearly suffering, but he struggled on, pausing frequently to gasp for breath before tackling another stretch of the scorched rock on which the soles of his feet left bloody footprints.Aurelio Zen’s final case brings him to remote town of Calabria, at the toe of Italy’s boot, on what is supposed to be a routine assignment: the death of a scout for an American film company. But the case is complicated by a group of dangerous strangers who have arrived to uncover another local mystery – buried treasure – and who will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. The case rapidly spirals out of control, and Zen must penetrate the code of silence in the tight-knit community in order to solve the crime.If you enjoyed the Inspector Zen Mystery series you may also like The Last Sherlock Holmes Story, another crime novel by Michael Dibdin.

The three plays collected in this volume depict the faults, errors and foibles of ordinary people with exuberant humour, savage satire and acute observations. Volpone portrays a rich Venetian who pretends to be dying so that his despised acquaintances will flock to his bedside with extravagant gifts in hope of an inheritance. The Alchemist also deals with greed and gullibility, as a rascally trio of confidence tricksters, claiming to have the legendary Philosopher's Stone, fool a series of victims who are hoping to make some easy money. And in a wonderfully energetic portrait of Jacobean life, Bartholomew Fair shows a diverse group of Londoners sampling the delights and temptations of the Fair - and the traders, prostitutes and cutpurses who set out to exploit them.

Nella quiete sorniona di un sabato mattina in ufficio, mentre Matera si prepara al rituale dello struscio pomeridiano, una telefonata raggiunge il Sostituto Procuratore Imma Tataranni. 'Pensò immediatamente a Valentina, che doveva essere appena uscita da scuola e in quei giorni stava piantando una grana. Invece le dissero che avevano ucciso un ragazzo, a Nova Siri'. Imma per mestiere ha a che fare abitualmente coi morti ammazzati, ma se a morire è un coetaneo di sua figlia, a poco a poco la madre e il procuratore si scopriranno facce della stessa medaglia che finiranno per confondersi e alimentarsi l'un l'altra. L'indagine del procuratore - con le sue tecniche, le sue dinamiche, le rivalità antiche e nuove - pagina dopo pagina assume infatti i contorni del viaggio di una madre alla scoperta di un mistero più importante e profondo: chi sono i nostri figli, che cosa vogliono, che possibilità hanno di questi tempi? In una comunità chiusa del Mezzogiorno italiano, fra dicerie superficiali e misfatti sepolti dalla terra arsa dal sole, Imma scruta, interroga, immagazzina dati: qualche volta inciampa, come sugli irrinunciabili tacchi alti, qualche volta, proprio come con quelli, riesce a ergere lo sguardo oltre l'apparenza dei fatti.
