    Una ragazza riservata

    Londra, 1981. Una donna giace sull'asfalto. È stata investita da un'auto mentre attraversava la strada, proprio il giorno del suo ritorno in Inghilterra, dopo anni passati all'estero. È un tragico incidente, che presto verrà dimenticato da una città in fermento per l'evento del secolo, le nozze reali tra il principe Carlo e Diana Spencer. O forse non è così. Perché quella donna era depositaria di tanti, troppi segreti. Londra, 1940. Rimasta orfana, la diciottenne Juliet Armostrong viene reclutata dai servizi segreti per un compito all'apparenza semplice: sbobinare registrazioni. In realtà, si tratta di un compito delicato, perché quelle registrate sono le conversazioni di un agente infiltrato con cittadini inglesi al soldo del Reich. Per il governo, è essenziale individuare e tenere d'occhio una potenziale quinta colonna filonazista in patria. Soprattutto ora che Londra è il bersaglio delle bombe tedesche. Dapprima disorientata, Juliet s'immerge sempre più in un mondo infido in cui ogni gesto, ogni parola è ambigua e pericolosa. E dopo alcuni mesi ha l'occasione di mettersi alla prova come agente operativo, in una rischiosa missione sul campo. E nulla andrà come previsto... Londra, 1950. A cinque anni dalla fine delle ostilità, la crisi economica e le conseguenze nefaste della guerra opprimo ancora il popolo inglese. Juliet adesso lavora per la BBC, e il suo compito è dare vita a programmi d'intrattenimento per sollevare lo spirito degli ascoltatori. Ma anche per lei è difficile liberarsi del passato, che riemerge nella forma di un messaggio lasciato sotto la porta di casa: La pagherai. Dopo tutto quello che è successo dieci anni prima, Juliet non è sorpresa. E riprende contatto con alcune conoscenze del tempo di guerra, che però non le sono di nessun aiuto. Anzi, un uomo misterioso la coinvolgerà ancora una volta in una missione segreta. Il tavolo da gioco è sempre lo stesso, ma è cambiato uno dei giocatori: non più la Germania nazista, bensì l'Unione Sovietica...

    Nacht über Soho

    England 1926: In einem Land, das sich noch immer vom Ersten Weltkrieg erholt, ist London zum Mittelpunkt eines neuen, ausgelassenen Nachtlebens geworden. In den Clubs von Soho tummeln sich Adelige neben Starlets, ausländische Würdenträger neben Gangstern, und Mädchen verkaufen Tänze für einen Schilling. Im Zentrum dieser glitzernden Welt steht die berüchtigte Nellie Coker. Rücksichtslos und ehrgeizig kontrolliert sie die wichtigsten Clubs der Stadt. Doch der Erfolg schafft Feinde: Nellies Imperium wird von außen und innen bedroht. Da sind ihre sechs Kinder, die alle eigene Ziele verfolgen, rivalisierende Straßengangs, ein Mafioso mit guten Manieren und schlechten Absichten ... Und da ist Inspektor John Frobisher. Seine Mission: herauszufinden, was mit den vielen Mädchen geschieht, die im Sohoer Nachtleben spurlos verschwinden. Mithilfe einer jungen Bibliothekarin, die er in Nellies Clubs einschleust, beginnt er, der Königin von Soho das Leben schwer zu machen.

    Normal Rules Don't Apply

    What really binds these stories is their underlying theme, which has perhaps always been Atkinson’s true subject: the nature of storytelling itself. She can be very funny, but she is highly serious about the idea that human existence is bound up with words… If you’re thinking about what fiction means, no invocation could be more thought-provoking or ironically complex
