Zamrznutá rieka
Maine 1789. V zamrznutej rieke sa nájde telo mŕtveho muža, a tak zavolajú Martu Ballardovú, aby určila príčinu smrti. Ako pôrodná babica a liečiteľka má na to potrebné skúsenosti, navyše vie takmer o všetkom, čo sa deje v Hallowelli za zatvorenými dverami. Do svojho denníka zaznamenáva každé narodenie či úmrtie, každý zločin a debakel, ktorý sa v meste odohrá. Pred niekoľkými mesiacmi zdokumentovala podrobnosti údajného znásilnenia, ktoré spáchali dvaja vážení obyvatelia mesta a jedného z nich teraz našli mŕtveho v ľade. Po obhliadke dospeje Marta k jednoznačnému záveru. Muža zavraždili. Jej verdikt však nečakane spochybní mladý lekár a vyhlási úmrtie za nehodu. Nikoho viac nezaujíma názor babice a obyčajnej ženy bez odborného vzdelania, ktorej neprináleží vyjadrovať sa na verejnosti. Ona si však za svojím tvrdením stojí. Bol to zločin a nevzdá sa, kým neusvedčí vraha.
Z anglického originálu The Fozen River (Doubleday, USA 2023) preložila Jana Seichertová.

Logika nočního rybolovu
Nejen pod svícnem, ale i pod rybářskou lampou je největší tma. V listopadové Katánii nezvykle vane scirocco a dva přátelé se vracejí z nočního rybolovu bez úlovku, zato s podezřením, že byli svědky čehosi nekalého.
Druhý případ Vaniny Guarrasiové a její svérázné mordparty, které i tentokrát vydatně pomáhá komisař na penzi Biagio Patan?, se točí kolem zmizení mladé advokátky zapletené do sítě nebezpečných známostí uvnitř katánské lepší společnosti. Nekompromisní policistka Giovanna Guarrasiová, pro rodinu a přátele Vanina, pochází z Palerma, kde úspěšně vedla Útvar pro odhalování organizovaného zločinu. Je oddaná spravedlnosti, loajální k přátelům a jako správná Sicilanka důvěřuje víc než slovům svému šestému smyslu. Má pro strach uděláno, jediné, čeho se doopravdy bojí, je ztráta blízkých. S městem pod Etnou se teprve sžívá, ale začíná mu přicházet na chuť stejně jako jeho kulinářským specialitám. Kromě práce a jídla jsou její vášní ještě staré italské filmy. Při vyšetřování záhadného zmizení mladé ženy poslechne svůj policajtský instinkt, který jí radí prověřit indicie, k nimž někteří kolegové přistupují skepticky, a vést případ jako údajnou vraždu, třebaže jim schází to hlavní: mrtvola.
Vrchní komisařka Guarrasiová se svým nesourodým, ale fungujícím týmem mezitím pronikla i na obrazovky, v březnu 2024 měla na italském Canale 5 premiéru první řada televizního seriálu Vanina, který na motivy románů vzniká v produkci společnosti Palomar. V současné době se točí řada druhá. Příští rok se seriál chystá uvést i Česká televize. V knize najdete odkaz k videoreceptům na pokrmy konzumované v příběhu.

Steampunková vražda
Tajemné slovo STEAMPUNK. Slyšeli jste ho už někdy? Ne? Ale určitě znáte „verneovky“, film Vynález zkázy nebo jste jistě už někdy viděli zvláštní šperky plné ozubených koleček a součástek z nejrůznějších přístrojů. Steampunk vychází z představ, které měli o budoucnosti lidé 19. století. A to ještě přesněji z doby vlády královny Viktorie. Anglické slovo steampunk se vlastně skládá ze dvou slov. Steam znamená páru, druhé slovo punk skoro není třeba vysvětlovat. Můžeme ho definovat např. jako něco, co se vymyká všeobecně přijímanému standardu. Můžete se setkat se steampunkovou literaturou, filmy, módou, fotografiemi, obrazy, PC hrami, šperky a různými doplňky. A právě v době sjezdu příznivců tohoto hnutí došlo v Southportu k první vraždě. Tým inspektora Carmichaela to rozhodně nemá lehké. Musí rozplést vztahy mezi skupinou přátel, kteří jsou fanoušky steampunku. A navíc vzápětí dochází ke druhé a třetí vraždě. Každá z nich je značně teatrální. Spáchal je jeden člověk, nebo snad bylo pachatelů víc?
