Showing results for "Medusa" in Crime Fiction

When a shadow from the past reawakens, successful surgeon Axel Glenne's life turns upside down. Soon after, a woman's body is found in Nordmarka, a forest north of Oslo. Items found near the body suggest that the killer is leaving a message, and while this death is being investigated, another woman is murdered. The similarities are too close to be coincidental - and it appears that Axel Glenne has a connection to both victims.

Cosa: Mattia Vusso, sei anni, viene investito mentre cerca il suo pupazzo, una medusa rossa fatta all'uncinetto. Qualche giorno dopo, sua madre scompare per sempre. Quando: Diciotto anni fa la tragedia Vusso; oggi, prima quindicina d'agosto, tempo di vacanze per tutti (o quasi). Dove: Bagni L'Ultima Spiaggia di Varazze, stabilimento vecchio stile gestito da Oscar Fatali, sessantenne panzuto che, in crisi di mezz'età, ha lasciato Brianza e famiglia per trasferirsi al mare con una velina di provincia.

Un squelette dans le placard, c’est classique. Mais un cadavre décharné dans la penderie d’un luxueux manoir de la métropole, c’est plutôt inhabituel. Le comte de Clairvaux, qui y vit discrètement dans le respect des traditions familiales, se passerait bien de ce genre de publicité.

When a group of Austrian cavers exploring a network of abandoned military tunnels in the Italian Alps come across human remains at the bottom of a deep shaft, everyone assumes the death was accidental - until the still unidentified body is stolen from the morgue and the Defence Ministry puts a news blackout on the case. And is the recent car bombing in Campione d'Italia, a tiny tax haven surrounded on all sides by Switzerland, somehow related?
