DEATH IN MOST
of
Colleen McCullough
Chi ha detto che a Holloman, piccola città del Connecticut, non succede mai niente? È il 3 aprile 1967: mentre la Guerra Fredda sembra traghettare il mondo verso un futuro catastrofico, nella sonnacchiosa cittadina americana, in un solo giorno si consumano dodici delitti. Dodici morti, tutte diverse, inflitte con mano spietata, esperta e perfino fantasiosa: dallo studente Evan Pugh, stritolato da una tagliola per orsi, a Desmond Skeps, il boss del colosso degli armamenti Cornucopia, torturato e avvelenato. Tocca al capitano di polizia Delmonico indagare su questa serie di crimini senza precedenti: l'istinto gli dice All the killings bear the same signature, that of an individual and his meticulously capable of shocking cruelty. And so a phone call from his wife and a lunch with trusted colleagues in his favorite restaurant, Delmonico's begins a daring descent into the underworld of "quiet" Holloman. Until, with its irresistible mix of cunning and aplomb, comes first to see beyond appearances. Death By Colleen McCullough gives us more in a yellow classic flavor and flawless execution, putting back on stage one of its most successful, the officer Carmine Delmonico's Italian American, with all its quirks and a sixth sense that is not wrong (almost) never, and together, the great writer weaves a story full of light and dark, worthy of a true master of the genre.
