Una Milano come non ve l'hanno mai raccontata. Pietro Mai, coriaceo ex pugile con burrascosi trascorsi, e l'ispettore Liana Sestini sono più che un istruttore e un'allieva. Uniti da vincoli d'onore e di passioni inconfessate, sono al centro di una guerra. La mala vecchia contro quella nuova. L'Antico, il Truce, il Riccio, il Serpente, Roxy, Milky Sex, mafiosi ucraini, russi e turchi: un girone infernale che schiera tutti contro tutti per il potere, la vendetta e un favoloso malloppo che riemerge dopo anni. Milano è lo scenario vibrante di un "nero criminale".

Un cadavere. Un ragazzino di quattordici anni giace morto, con il cranio spappolato, nella conduttura di scolo delle fogne. Spetterà a Riccio, rude poliziotto di una Milano fine anni '70, indagare sul delitto. Tra biciclette, tunnel misteriosi, palline clic clac, figurine e fumetti si snoda il piano di un mostro. Un terribile assassino che colpisce senza pietà chiunque provi a ostacolarlo. Per nascondere un segreto che lui stesso non riesce ad accettare.

Tre ragazze sparite nel nulla. Chi le ha rapite? Cosa le accomuna? Fino a dove si può spingere una mente sconvolta, dilaniata e ossessionata dagli orrori di una guerra combattuta in Afghanistan? Vecchie fotografie ritornano da un passato che non vuole restare sepolto e innescheranno i piani di vendetta di una mente malata. Ogni minuto che passa rischia di essere l'ultimo, macchine diaboliche sono già in azione. Sarà il commissario Narducci, in una corsa contro il tempo, a tentare di risolvere un mistero intriso di violenza e solitudine.

Damien Scott è arrabbiato con il mondo intero. Il suo gemello è stato incastrato, sono stati allontanati e, come se non bastasse, la ragazza che gli aveva spezzato il cuore è riapparsa. Dopo un periodo trascorso lontano dal Minnesota, Mariam è tornata, ma la situazione che trova è più complicata di quella che aveva lasciato tanto tempo prima. La sua migliore amica è a pezzi, suo fratello sta cercando di rimettersi in piedi e il ragazzo che ama la odia. Lei brucia per lui, mentre lui arde dal desiderio di distruggerla.

Perché gli Italiani mangiano la pasta al dente? La "tempura" è davvero un'invenzione giapponese? Perché la pizza ha conquistato il mondo? E perché il sushi ha conquistato noi? E cosa c'entrano il baccalà con il Concilio di Trento e il caffè con la nascita delle compagnie di assicurazioni? Sono alcuni degli argomenti affrontati da questo libro. Tradizioni gastronomiche, modi di cuocere il cibo, maniere di comportarsi a tavola, passioni, repulsioni, valori estetici, tipicità, territori, sono altrettanti specchi del rapporto che gli uomini hanno con se stessi.

Siamo entrati nell'era di Homo dieteticus. Crudisti, sushisti, vegetariani, vegani, gluten free, no carb: fra etica e dietetica la ricerca del modello alimentare virtuoso è diventata la nuova religione globale. E come tutte le religioni nascenti produce continue contrapposizioni, scismi, eresie, sette, abiure. Ciascun credo si ritiene l'unica via verso la salvezza. E verso l'immortalità. O almeno quel suo succedaneo salutistico che chiamiamo longevità.

From the outside looking in, Sibley Sawyer has a perfect life. As a successful attorney, she’s worked hard to get to the top of her game--but when her personal and professional lives implode, Sibley looks for a way to turn the page. Unable to shake the tragic circumstances that caused her to flee her rural Midwestern hometown, Sibley wants nothing more than to reunite with her estranged mother, Deborah, and bury their past tensions. But as she reenters the life she left behind, she realizes her mother isn’t the same person she remembers, and she’s not the same daughter either.

When witch Sara Hart hooks up with a master vampire at a coworker's wedding, she fully expects to never hear from him again. After all, she's just a poor receptionist with mediocre powers - certainly not an appropriate match for someone of his status. And he clearly thinks so too since he never even tries to track her down. That stings, but not as much as when she learns he's actively seeking a new mate and she isn't even in the running.

As a sultry siren, Cora Murphy can have any man she wants - and her interfering mother has a long list of eager candidates suited to her daughter's station as fae royalty. But Cora just wants to live a normal life, working at Othercross as a Sentinel and hoping one day a man will fall in love with her instead of succumbing to her mystical - and totally bogus - allure.

After one passionate night, witch Iris Holloway is left with more than just the memory of the sexiest vampire she'd ever met - she's pregnant. And the little bladder squasher inside her belly seems to take great joy in reminding her of its presence at the most inopportune moments. Like when she's sitting in judgment over another witch in her job as an Othercross Sentinel. It's hard to focus on justice when a gal's gotta pee. It's also hard to focus when the baby's vampire master father shows up at her work after seven long months, trying to claim her as his beloved.

The vamp life sure as hell ain't the glam life. Just ask Alena Falkov. One day she'll be a full-fledged attorney, but for now, she's stuck working her fangs off at a thankless job while she attends Othercross University's esteemed law school. Of course she might not have the job for long if she can't be on time, but when a vampire catches the scent of her Beloved - her one true soul mate - in the hallways of the courthouse, no one could blame her for tracking him down. Now if only he wasn't the defendant...and by all accounts, guilty. Or is he?
