The slow regard of silent things
Deep below the University, there is a dark place. Few people know of it: a broken web of ancient passageways and abandoned rooms.

The small hand
A ghost story
Late one summer evening, antiquarian bookseller Adam Snow is returning from a client visit when he takes a wrong turn. He stumbles across a derelict Edwardian house and, compelled by curiosity, approaches the door. Standing before the entrance, he feels the unmistakable sensation of a small cold hand creeping into his own, 'as if a child had taken hold of it'.
At first he is merely puzzled by the odd incident but then begins to suffer attacks of fear and panic, and is visited by nightmares. He is determined to learn more about the house. But when he does, he receives further, increasingly sinister, visits from the small hand.

The Woman in black
Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral Mrs Alice Drablow, the house's sole inhabitant of Eel Marsh House, unaware of the tragic secrets which lie hidden behind the shuttered windows. The house stands at the end of a causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but it is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose.

The woman in the fifth
Harry Ricks is a man who has lost everything. A romantic mistake at the small American college where he used to teach has cost him his job, his marriage and his relationship with his only child. And when the ensuing scandal threatens to completely destroy him, he votes with his feet and flees... to Paris. He arrives in the French capital in the bleak midwinter, where a series of accidental encounters lands him in a grubby room in a grubby quarter, and a job as a nightwatchman for a sinister operation. Just when Harry begins to think that he has hit rock bottom, romance enters his life. Her name is Margit - an elegant, cultivated Hungarian émigré, long resident in Paris - widowed and, like Harry, alone. But though Harry is soon smitten with her, Margit keeps her distance. She will only see him at her apartment in the fifth arrondissement for a few hours twice a week, and remains guarded about her work, her past, her life. However, Harry's frustrations with her reticence are soon overshadowed by a ever-growing preoccupation that a dark force is at work in his life - as punishment begins to be meted out to anyone who has recently done him wrong. Before he knows it, he finds himself of increasing interest to the police and waking up in a nightmare from which there is no easy escape.

This is not a Novel
The day she hears of Johnny's disappearance is one that Imogen blackens from her life, for how could such a brilliant swimmer possibly have drowned? Imogen has so often watched her brother and his friend Bruno, the handsome young German tutor, slicing through the waters of the bay beneath the family house in County Cork, she can't believe all that vitality has gone for ever.
Nearly thirty years later, as Imogen slowly pieces together fragments of her family history, we hear the tragic echoes that connect her with the Great War and Ireland in the nineteen-twenties.

Un colpo al cuore
"Il Giustiziere è un serial killer che ha deciso di riparare i torti del sistema giudiziario rapendo, torturando ed eliminando i criminali che l'hanno fatta franca in tribunale. Indossa una maschera demoniaca e si fa annunciare ogni volta da un video intitolato "La Legge sei tu" in cui chiede alla gente di pronunciarsi tramite votazioni anonime e irrintracciabili. A colpi di clic il richiamo alla giustizia sommaria diventa virale. L'indagine sul caso che sta scuotendo l'Italia è affidata al vicequestore Vito Strega, criminologo dall'intuito infallibile, affiancato dalle ispettrici Mara Rais ed Eva Croce. Le due formano una coppia d'eccezione: i modi bruschi e l'impulsività di Mara sono compensati dall'acutezza e dal riserbo sfuggente di Eva. Tra la Sardegna e Milano, i tre poliziotti dovranno mettere in gioco tutto per affrontare un imprendibile nemico dai mille volti e misurarsi ciascuno con i fantasmi del proprio passato. "
