Un asesino en serie disfruta torturando a sus víctimas y dejando en los cadáveres unas extravagantes pistas que remiten a personajes de un famoso cómic. Dos personas tan distintas como Jordan Marsalis -ex teniente del departamento de policía de Nueva York y hermano del alcade- y Maureen Martini -comisario de la policía de Roma e hija de una gran abogado criminalista-, deben unir sus fuerzas para dar caza a un lúcido y despiadado asesino en serie. La primera víctima es un artista vanguardista, hijo del alcalde de Nueva York y por tanto sobrino de Jordan. Este pronto descubre que la pista que ha dejado el asesino está relacionada con un personaje del cómic de Snoopy y Carlitos Brown, y se da cuenta que este es sólo el principio de una cadena de crímenes. El único indicio que tiene del escenario del crimen es que el asesino cojea de una pierna. Mientras, en Roma, la comisario Maureen sufre una terrible paliza de manos de un delincuente que la deja ciega y decide someterse a una complicada operación en Nueva York, donde le hacen un injerto de córnea. La operación es un éxito, recupera la vista, pero de pronto tiene espantosas visiones de crímenes, que relaciona con la muerte del hijo del alcalde. Se da cuenta que este ha sido su donante y acude al alcalde entrando así en contacto con Jordan. Poco después se suceden dos nuevos crímenes, pistas de los personajes de ficción, y por fin Jordan descubre que las víctimas tienen algo en común: eran compañeros de universidad en una época en que paralelamente se perpetró un atraco en el que los delincuentes cubrían sus caras con máscaras de los personajes de Snoopy, Carlitos, Linus, Lucy... Con el trasfondo de Roma y Nueva York donde todo parece real a simple vista, pero nada es lo que parece, entre incomprensibles mensajes y visiones escalofriantes, los dos protagonistas se ven envueltos en la afanosa búsqueda del asesino, en una loca carrera llena de inesperadas emociones, miedos, obsesiones, que a veces se ve interrumpida por momentos de amor, amistad y complicidad. Un thriller de ritmo vertiginoso, original, con un atractivo estilo narrativo y una trama inteligente que usa los mejores recursos del género. Un estupendo retrato psicológico de sus protagonistas, que son presentados con los matices de vicios y pasiones humanas, fortalezas y debilidades, que confirman los dotes de Faletti en escarbar en los pensamientos más secretos del ser humano y como el maestro del thriller italiano

Grijalbo

From a bestselling Italian author comes a sharply observed new mystery set in the seedy underworld of 1970s Milan
Giorgio Faletti's first thriller, I Kill, took Europe by storm, selling over five million copies. The Corriere della Sera, Italy's leading newspaper, crowned him "the greatest Italian writer." In 2010, with the explosive publication of A Pimp's Notes, Faletti won international celebrity as a writer of world-class, tightly wound, psychologically nuanced thrillers.
 It's 1978. Italy has just been shocked by the kidnapping of the politician Aldo Moro by the left-leaning terrorist group the Red Brigades. In Milan, the upper class continues to amuse itself in luxury restaurants, underground clubs, and cabarets. This is Bravo's milieu. Enigmatic and cynical, Bravo makes his living catering to the tastes, fantasies, and fetishes of the wealthy and depraved. When the mysterious Carla enters his life, what begins as a clandestine romance quickly becomes a nightmare that will transform Bravo into a man wanted by the police, by organized crime, and even by the Red Brigades. As the web around him tightens, Bravo will be forced to confront the violence of the times in which he lives as well as his own connections to the political and criminal networks that control contemporary Italy.

Pimp

Constable Crime

A serial killer holds New York in his grip. He does not choose his victims. Nor does he watch them die. But then there are too many of them for that. The explosion of a twenty-two storey building, followed by the casual discovery of a letter, lead the police to face up to a dreadful reality: some of New York's buildings were mined at the time of their construction. But which ones? And how many? A young female detective hiding her personal demons behind a tough appearance, and a former press photographer with a past he'd rather forget, and for which he still seeks forgiveness, are the only hope of stopping this psychopath. A man who does not even claim responsibility for his actions. A man who believes himself to be God. Praise for the Giorgio Faletti: "In my neck of the woods, people like Faletti are called larger than life, living legends". (Jeffery Deaver). "Publishing sensation". ("Financial Times"). "I Kill is one of those bestsellers that proceeds at a cracking pace and presses all the right buttons with clinical efficiency. Giorgio Faletti's thriller is set in Monte Carlo, home to so many obnoxious millionaires and their trophy girlfriends that what the city really needs is a serial killer. Enter just such a killer .. The writing has no great literary pretentions, but then it does not have to. The plot is the thing". ("Sunday Telegraph). "The best selling first novel by Giorgio Faletti ...has been defined as a masterpiece and Faletti himself as the best living Italian writer." (Corriere della Sera).
