Bologna soll brennen … Bologna im Herbst 1312: Mondino de‘ Liuzzi, Medicus und Anatom, wird vom Bürgermeister mit der Aufklärung eines seltsamen Todesfalls beauftragt: Ein Mitglied des Ältestenrats wurde völlig verkohlt in seinem Haus gefunden. Doch im Zimmer, in dem sich die Leiche befindet, deutet nichts auf einen Brand hin. Mondino bringt die sterblichen Überreste in seinen Sezierraum, um sie zu untersuchen. An einem Arm des Toten entdeckt er eine Tätowierung: ein Monster mit Flügeln und einem Löwenkopf, dessen Körper von einer Schlange umringt wird. Wenig später wird ein Franziskanermönch im Bordellviertel tot aufgefunden. In seiner Tasche findet man eine Zeichnung, die der Tätowierung auf dem Arm der ersten Leiche sehr ähnelt. Gemeinsam mit dem ehemaligen Templer Gerardo del Castelbretone kommt Mondino einer Sekte auf die Spur, die dem Gott der Sonne und des Feuers Mithra huldigt – und die eine ungeheuerliche Verschwörung plant …

In Savages, Don Winslow introduced Ben and Chon, twenty-something best friends who risk everything to save the girl they both love, O. Among the most celebrated thrillers in recent memory—and now a major motion picture directed by Academy Award–winning filmmaker Oliver Stone—Savages was picked as a best book of the year by Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly, Janet Maslin in The New York Times, and Sarah Weinman in the Los Angeles Times. Now, in this high-octane prequel, Winslow reaches back in time to tell the story of how Ben, Chon, and O became the people they are. Spanning from 1960s Southern California to the recent past, The Kings of Cool is a breathtakingly original saga of family in all its forms—fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, friends and lovers. As the trio at the center of the book does battle with a cabal of drug dealers and crooked cops, they come to learn that their future is inextricably linked with their parents’ history. A series of breakneck twists and turns puts the two generations on a collision course, culminating in a stunning showdown that will force Ben, Chon, and O to choose between their real families and their loyalty to one another. Fast-paced, provocative, and wickedly funny, The Kings of Cool is a spellbinding love story for our times from a master novelist at the height of his powers. It is filled with Winslow’s trademark talents—complex characters, sharp dialogue, blistering social commentary—that have earned him an obsessive following. The result is a book that will echo in your mind and heart long after you’ve turned the last page.

Once a cop. Ex-NYPD detective Dave Gurney is supposed to be retired. But people with problems keep knocking on his door. Like the police, who are baffled by a gruesome murder they just can't seem to solve. A young bride has been killed in the middle of her own wedding reception. The prime suspect - her new husband's Mexican gardener - is missing.

Lorsque, dix ans après les faits, le mariachi Orlando Merced succombe à ses blessures, l'inspecteur Harry Bosch hérite d'un vrai cas d'école à enseigner à la jeune inspectrice Lucia Soto. Hormis une balle retrouvée à l'autopsie, les pistes sont inexistantes. Plus ennuyeux, et dangereux pour Bosch, Lucia semble beaucoup s'intéresser à un autre dossier, et mettre son nez là où il ne faut pas. Très ébranlé par la nature de cette deuxième affaire, Bosch décide de passer outre au règlement et de mener les deux enquêtes de front, malgré les risques encourus dans une ville où la passion politique l'emporte sur tout.

Dave Gurney, pluridecorato poliziotto del NYPD ora in pensione, non rinuncia di tanto in tanto a interessarsi a qualche caso apparentemente senza soluzione - provocando le ire della moglie, che lo vorrebbe impegnato in attività meno rischiose. Ma ci sono tentazioni a cui è impossibile resistere, e per Gurney il pericolo è una di queste. Stavolta, è alle prese con l'omicidio di Carl Spalter, candidato al posto di governatore dello stato di New York, freddato mentre pronunciava il discorso funebre al funerale della madre. Omicidio per cui è stata ingiustamente condannata sua moglie una sentenza che appare chiaramente pilotata. Ma il caso è tutt'altro che chiuso e, come scoprirà ben presto Gurney, la posta in gioco tutt'altro che bassa: perché là fuori c'è il vero colpevole, qualcuno che, protetto dall'anonimato, è deciso a colpire ancora. E Gurney arriverà molto presto a seguirne le tracce, scoprendo un nemico diabolicamente intelligente, che viene da molto lontano, e ha un insolito soprannome: Peter Pan. Un assassino talmente scaltro che per il poliziotto l'unico modo per fermarlo sarà diventare il suo prossimo bersaglio.
