    Shutter Island

    L'agente federale Teddy Daniels è appena salpato in traghetto dalla città e già l'orizzonte gli si ribalta addosso. Tutto gira intorno e gli rimesta nei visceri. È il mal di mare. Quel mare che fin da bambino vedeva come un buco nero e che oggi gli appare altrettanto ostile, mentre l'isola verso cui è diretto, Shutter Island, si avvicina. E avvicinandosi rivela la struttura dell'Ashecliffe Hospital, l'istituto psichiatrico in cui sono ricoverati pazienti affetti da gravi patologie psichiche. Insieme al collega Chuck Aule, Daniels è stato chiamato sull'isola a indagare sulla scomparsa di un'ospite della clinica, Rachel Solando, internata dopo essersi macchiata dell'orrenda uccisione dei suoi tre figli. Teddy è un giovane e brillante agente, ma la sua vita è già segnata dalla morte della moglie, avvenuta in un incendio divampato nella loro casa. Le immagini delle fiamme e del volto di lei abitano la sua mente e scandiscono anche la sua non facile missione. Tra risposte elusive, sguardi diffidenti e testimoni ambigui, Teddy si muove in un crescendo di sospetti, mentre una violenta tempesta si abbatte sull'isola, tagliandola fuori dal resto del mondo. Tutto ricomincia a girare intorno. Ma questa volta non è il mal di mare. "Shutter Island" non è solo uno dei capolavori di Dennis Lehane, che ha dato vita a un film di culto e che è qui riproposto nella nuova traduzione di Fabiano Massimi. È un romanzo raffinato che, grazie a un complesso di personaggi magistralmente tratteggiati, scende negli abissi più cupi dell'animo umano, e ci sfida a cogliere l'ingannevole potere della nostra mente.

    Mystic River

    Quando erano ragazzini, Sean, Jimmy e Dave erano amici. Poi, un giorno, una strana macchina si è fermata nella loro strada e li ha avvicinati. Uno solo è salito su quell'auto che odorava di mela, mentre gli altri due sono rimasti fuori. E da quel momento tutto è cambiato. Perché qualcosa di terribile è successo, qualcosa che ha segnato per sempre le loro vite. Venticinque anni più tardi Sean è un detective della Omicidi e Jimmy, dopo qualche guaio con la giustizia, gestisce un negozio. Dave cerca di tenere lontano i demoni che lo perseguitano e che lo vorrebbero spingere a fare cose indicibili. Quando la bellissima figlia ventenne di Jimmy scompare, tocca a Sean indagare. E a Dave rispondere di una notte randagia, piena di chiaroscuri. I tre uomini torneranno così tragicamente in contatto, costretti a fare i conti con il passato e il suo carico di segreti e ferite.

    Small Mercies

    “Small Mercies is thought provoking, engaging, enraging, and can’t-put-it-down entertainment.” — Stephen King The acclaimed New York Times bestselling writer returns with a masterpiece to rival Mystic River—an all-consuming tale of revenge, family love, festering hate, and insidious power, set against one of the most tumultuous episodes in Boston’s history. In the summer of 1974 a heatwave blankets Boston and Mary Pat Fennessy is trying to stay one step ahead of the bill collectors. Mary Pat has lived her entire life in the housing projects of “Southie,” the Irish American enclave that stubbornly adheres to old tradition and stands proudly apart. One night Mary Pat’s teenage daughter Jules stays out late and doesn’t come home. That same evening, a young Black man is found dead, struck by a subway train under mysterious circumstances. The two events seem unconnected. But Mary Pat, propelled by a desperate search for her missing daughter, begins turning over stones best left untouched—asking questions that bother Marty Butler, chieftain of the Irish mob, and the men who work for him, men who don’t take kindly to any threat to their business. Set against the hot, tumultuous months when the city’s desegregation of its public schools exploded in violence, Small Mercies is a superb thriller, a brutal depiction of criminality and power, and an unflinching portrait of the dark heart of American racism. It is a mesmerizing and wrenching work that only Dennis Lehane could write.

    Prayers for Rain

    A New York Times Notable Book Now available with a contemporary look, New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane's Prayers for Rain is a ?hard boiled shocker? (New York Times Book Review) and stunning psychological thriller about a master sadist determined to tear Kenzie and Gennaro's world apart. When Patrick first meets Karen Nichols, she strikes him as a naive woman from a protected upbringing, untouched by tragedy. But six months later Karen commits suicide by leaping from one of Boston's monuments. Patrick finds himself wondering what can alter someone so drastically, so quickly, that suicide seems her only option. Yet Patrick soon suspects that tragic events that befell Karen during the last months of her life?an ?accident? that destroyed her fiancé; the loss of her job, her apartment, and eventually her mind?may not have been as random as they first appeared. Enlisting the aid of his ex-partner and ex-flame, Angela Gennaro, as well as that of his friend, the lethally unbalanced Bubba Rogowski, Patrick enters into a treacherous game of cat-and-mouse with a man who, instead of merely killing his victims, prefers to make them wish they were dead. As Patrick, Angie, and Bubba wage psychological warfare with this brilliant, depraved sociopath, they discover they might be fighting a losing battle against an enemy who is determined to tear their worlds apart.
