    È la fine di aprile del 1968. Firenze, come il resto dell'Italia, è scossa dalle manifestazioni studentesche. I figli sono contro i padri, senza mediazioni né compromessi, ed è difficile capire dove stiano ragioni e torti, dove sia il male. Università occupate, scontri con le forze dell'ordine, battaglie tra studenti di destra e di sinistra, slogan impregnati di ideali: un vortice di sogni cozza contro una società ormai sorpassata che aveva creduto di durare in eterno.

    Times are hard. Anne Chatham is a clever, modest young woman with little money, no prospects for marriage, and a never-shared secret—she can see spirits. Anne finds employment as a typist at Northfield House, the grand country manor of the Wellington family. Her employer, the wheelchair-bound Mr. Wellington, is kindly. His haughty wife is not. He has two handsome sons, the wry and dashing Thomas and the dark and somber Owen. Anne feels sure her prayers have been heard. Until the terrifying night she stumbles upon a tortured spirit roaming the dark halls of Northfield.

    1896. A new client at Baker Street claims he’s being threatened via the new art of the moving image. Eadweard Muybridge, pioneer of motion picture projection, believes his life is in danger. Twice he has been almost run down in the street by the same mysterious carriage, and moreover, disturbing alterations have been made to his lecture slides. These are closely guarded, yet just before each lecture an unknown hand has defaced images depicting Muybridge himself, which he has discovered, to his horror, only as he projects them to his audience.

    Hamburg 1920. Einbrüche und Raubüberfälle sind an der Tagesordnung. Die Polizei sieht sich einer gut organisierten Bande von Kriminellen gegenüber, die auch vor dem Einsatz brutaler Gewalt nicht zurückschreckt. Doch Gewalt gibt es auch anderswo. Das junge Nachkriegsdeutschland steckt in einer schweren Wirtschaftskrise. Kapp-Putsch, Hungerunruhen, Ausnahmezustand in Hamburg. Und die Polizei hat ihre eigenen Probleme. Bei einer Inflationsrate von mehr als 100 Prozent reichen die Gehälter der Beamten kaum aus, um ihre Familien zu ernähren.

Lui ed Enrica hanno cominciato a incontrarsi, ma il commissario non può continuare a nasconderle la propria natura, il segreto che a lungo lo ha tenuto lontano da lei.

    In 1920s England, private detective Henry Fleming is invited to spend the weekend at Watermead Manor to celebrate the marriage of Gerald and Ida Langley. The handsome millionaire had been instantly smitten with the glamorous Ida and, after a whirlwind romance, they had married in secret. Upon returning to England, however, it soon becomes apparent that not everyone is pleased or excited about the marriage and very soon accusations begin to fly about Ida's motives: Does she really love him, or is she just an opportunistic gold-digger?
