      Gli Hatter di Washington Square non sono molto amati; sono "gente cattiva" mormora il vicinato, viziosi e malati, nessuno escluso: dall'eccentrica poetessa Barbara all'alcolizzato Conrad, al crudele Jackie... La più detestata è però Emily, ricchissima e potente matriarca, che guida con pugno di ferro le sorti della famiglia. Così quando la vecchia viene trovata assassinata, nessuno se ne dispiace troppo. Tranne, forse, Louise, la figlia disabile. Degli altri parenti, nessuno è esente da sospetti, ma alla fine tutti gli indizi sembrano convergere su York Hatter, il marito di Emily, da lei tiranneggiato e umiliato. Peccato che York sia morto: scomparso dal giorno di Natale, il suo cadavere è stato ripescato alcune settimane addietro nel porto di New York e tutti hanno pensato a un suicidio. L'ispettore Thumm non sa che pesci prendere e ancora una volta ricorre all'aiuto dell'amico Drury Lane, il celebre attore, che riuscirà a sciogliere la rete di inganni di una tragedia familiare degna dei drammi shakespeariani. Solo che questa volta Drury Lane non sta recitando su un palcoscenico...

      The Dollmaker was the name of the serial killer who had stalked Los Angeles ruthlessly, leaving grisly calling cards on the faces of his female victims. Now with a single faultless shot, Detective Harry Bosch thinks he has ended the city's nightmare. But the dead man's widow is suing Harry and the LAPD for killing the wrong man-- an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature. So for the second time, Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive, before he strikes again. It's a blood-tracked quest that will take Harry from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go-- the darkness of his own heart. With The Concrete Blonde, Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has hit a whole new level in his career, creating a breathtaking thriller that thrusts you into a blistering courtroom battle-- and a desperate search for a sadistic killer.

    • When a body is found in a hotel room, reporters are soon all over the case: it appears to be a missing LAPD narcotics detective, apparently gone to the bad. The rumours were that he had been selling a new drug called Black Ice that had been infiltrating Los Angeles from the Mexican cartel. The LAPD are quick to declare the death a suicide, but Harry Bosch is not so sure. There are odd mysteries and unexplained details from the crime scene which just don't add up. Fighting an attraction to the detective's widow, Bosch starts his own maverick investigation, which soon leads him over the borders and into a dangerous world of shifting identities, police politics and deadly corruption . . .
