Det är sällan mord förövas på Island.

På våren 1990 förövades ett uppmärksammat brott i Helsingforstrakten. En söndagsmorgon anmäler en person in till polisen i Helsingfors att det ligger en livlös man i ett dike.

In the late 1970s, a string of seemingly unconnected murders had Harlem police and federal authorities at their wits' end until they realized several commonalities. The victims were all either Mafia members or potential witnesses of Mafia activity and they'd all been shot from .22 pistols traced back to a single private sale in Florida. From these details, the FBI and police were able to build a profile of a rogue sect of Mafia hitmen known as the East Harlem Purple Gang.

Detta är historien om ett mord som aldrig klarades upp och som mänskligt att döma heller aldrig kan bevisas. Man hittade nämligen inte något lik. Mordet -- det var nämligen mord med till visshet gränsande sannolikhet -- väckte stort uppseende när det förövades år 1814 och det blev samtalsämne i hela Norge under många år därefter. Ett av skälen till uppseendet var att de inblandade tillhörde personer högt upp på den sociala rangskalan.

Tre dånande pistolskott som avlossades i snabb följd och som följdes av ytterligare ett efter en kort paus satte stopp för idyllen i Höjbjerg, ett mondänt förstadskvarter i Århus. De första skotten dödade 43-åriga fru Ulla Jensen och det fjärde skottet sårade hennes 51-åriga hemhjälp, fru Petersen, allvarligt. Detta utgjorde upptakten till en av de största och mest omfattande utredningar i Århuspolisens histo­ria. Ungefär 18 000 personer förhördes och tips från allmänheten strömmade in.

La storia di Gianfranco Stevanin non è quella che si potrebbe immaginare quando si sente parlare di serial killer. Stevanin, infatti, era per tutti un ragazzo normale, tanto che potrebbe essere definito "un tranquillo serial killer di provincia".

Fino a quando la polizia non iniziò a rinvenire una serie di cadaveri di donne in quello che venne subito ribattezzato il campo degli orrori.

Quella tra Oriana e Pier Paolo è una delle più affascinanti e intense storie di amore-odio della letteratura e del costume italiani del Novecento. Scrittori di primissimo livello, polemisti spietati, personaggi venerati e infangati dall'opinione pubblica del tempo, le loro personalità contrapposte non potevano far altro che incrociarsi. Forse anche perché, a differenza dei loro colleghi italiani, Oriana e Pier Paolo si muovono con agio sullo scenario internazionale.
