The mysterious saga of the Caskey family begins in Blackwater I: The Flood, as a devastating flood brings a strange and beautiful visitor to the small, sleepy lumber town of Perdido, Alabama.
Elinor Dammert's arrival will forever change the town and the wealthy and powerful Caskey family.
James, who dotes on Elinor like a second daughter...
Sister, who pines for Elinor's strength and independence...
Oscar, who loves Elinor and determines to build a life with her...
And matriarch Mary-Love, perhaps the only person in Perdido with an inkling of Elinor's true power and purpose.
For Elinor is more than she appears, and she brings to Perdido - and to the Caskeys - a deadly, inexplicable otherness from which no one can ever be safe

A story as old as myth, and as startling and iconic as the rest of King's work, Fairy Tale is about an ordinary guy forced into the hero's role by circumstance, and it is both spectacularly suspenseful and satisfying

MADRID, 1834, A HORRENDOUS CATASTROPHE. BUT TERROR HAS ANOTHER NAME.
Madrid, 1834: a terrible cholera epidemic has brought the city to its knees. But terror also has another name, that of the Beast: a ruthless and elusive being who kidnaps little girls from the poorest neighborhoods and dismembers their bodies. When little Clara disappears, her sister Lucía doesn't want to wait to find her body: thus begins her fight against evil and against time. She is fourteen years old and has the unquenchable courage of someone who feels powerless. Especially because no one seems to want to truly stop the monster.
Except Diego, a stubborn and reckless journalist, who also drags his friend Donoso, a cynical but loyal one-eyed policeman, into the investigation. Their frantic search will involve guerrilla monks, ambassadors, and prostitutes, while a secret society weaves its fatal intrigues between taverns and salons, palaces and hospitals. It's the dawn of a capital born in blood, a city teeming with life and death, struggling to leave the Middle Ages behind.
Spanish Planeta Award winner, a relentless and moving historical thriller, an atmosphere as breathtaking as the coils of the serpent on the cover. Reading it, you'll find yourself right there, in the alleys of Madrid, in a story of hell and darkness

'Family Ghosts' is the novel of a normal family, typically marked by hypocrisy and tacit mutual cover-ups. Divided into two parts, the first set in the 1980s and the second in the present day, it unfolds across multiple narrative levels: the third-person narrative alternates with notebooks, letters, and dead architecture, and in the second part, the protagonists' first-person narratives. The geometry of the structure and the theater of inanimate objects subtly reveal the upheavals of existence

Translated
Franck Thilliez's dazzling debut novel returns to bookstores in a new translation and with an unpublished letter from the author to Italian readers: a thriller with a dark atmosphere and a fast pace, in which the killer and the policeman chase each other in a macabre spiral of death and violence.
Inspector Franck Sharko is dealing with the most difficult case of his career: his wife, Suzanne, has disappeared. One evening she didn't return home, and he hasn't heard from her since. Six months have passed. No sign of life, no ransom demand. Every attempt to find her has been fruitless.
After a long leave of absence, it's time for Sharko to return to work, and his first assignment concerns a murder that took place in a small village not far from Paris. In an isolated house, the body of a woman was found suspended in mid-air by a system of ropes and hooks, mutilated and recomposed in an unnatural pose.
The crime scene is strangely clean, and the only microscopic clues lead to Brittany, where the inspector will uncover a sordid underworld of depravity. With the help of the charismatic psychocriminologist Williams, the computer genius Serpetti, and his neighbor Dudù Camelia, an elderly Guyanese woman with the mysterious gift of visions, Sharko will try to track down the Machiavellian killer, a vengeful spirit who seems intent on rebuilding hell on Earth.
And as the investigation becomes increasingly intricate and dangerous, a nagging doubt torments the commissioner: will he ever be able to find Suzanne?

An intense and gripping novel that tells the story of the silent strength of women and the possibility of starting over, always.
Isabella Boccadoro d'Este has chosen to live without flaunting her noble origins, working as a housekeeper in Milan. With her discretion and innate sensitivity, she brings order and serenity where solitude and disharmony reign. Until one morning, upon entering the Tizzonis' elegant apartment, she finds Laura, the young landlady, seriously injured.
Behind the respectable facade of a perfect family lies a history of violence that threatens to overwhelm the couple's two children. As justice struggles to take its course amid lies and silence, Isabella finds herself increasingly personally involved in the affair, discovering the strength of female solidarity and the fragility of those who seem invincible.
At her side is Duccio Soldanieri, a charming and determined Carabinieri captain, also a nobleman, who brings a new and unexpected feeling into her life. Through secrets, passions, and difficult choices, Isabella must confront her fears and learn that, sometimes, being brave means letting yourself be loved
