Synopsis

Cacciato di casa e con il cuore a pezzi, Mario vaga per una Genova che improvvisamente gli appare estranea. Trova rifugio nella stazione, dove l'incontro con due donne, l'enigmatica "Signora" e la provocatoria Cinzia, apre squarci inaspettati su una vita che credeva ormai conclusa.  
 
Tra la nostalgia di un amore perduto e la possibilità di una nuova felicità, Mario affronta il dolore dell'abbandono, la paura del futuro e oscuri segreti che lo trascinano in un vortice di eventi pericolosi. "Solo un uomo ordinario" è un romanzo che esplora con stile asciutto e realistico la complessità dell'animo umano e la fragilità dei rapporti, sullo sfondo di una Genova suggestiva e decadente. Un viaggio nell'intimità di un uomo in cerca di riscatto, tra le luci e le ombre di una città che custodisce i suoi segreti.

    In Vivien Chien's Misfortune Cookie, Lana Lee returns for another delectable cozy set in a Chinese restaurant in Cleveland, OH. 
     
    “Pair your noodles with this steaming mystery, and you have the perfect chilly night combination!”―PopSugar 
     
    They say fortune favors the bold, and Lana Lee is determined to prove that true. 
     
    Lana, now officially manager of her family’s restaurant, the Ho-Lee Noodle House, is headed to sunny Irvine, California to attend a restaurant convention with her sister, Anna May, along for the ride. The girls’ very Americanized Aunt Grace has asked them to stay in her posh rental, and as the trip begins, it seems to be just what they both needed. Even the restaurant convention proves to be worthwhile and entertaining, especially when Lana witnesses a dramatic cat fight between a fortune cookie vendor and a journalist. 
     
    Lana and Anna May can’t imagine things getting any better until they learn their aunt has yet another surprise in store for them―a swanky cocktail party hosted for the freelancers of Southern California. But on the night of the party, things go south when a close journalist friend of Grace’s mysteriously plunges from the roof top of the hotel. Even more suspicious is the fact that Aunt Grace’s friend is the same journalist Lana saw getting into a screaming match with the fortune cookie vendor at the convention. 
     
    The police rule the death a gruesome accident, but Aunt Grace refuses to accept that explanation and begs Lana for her help uncovering the truth. Lana, Anna May, Aunt Grace attempt to keep up appearances as they search for answers, but unwanted attention from suspicious colleagues and convention attendees starts to surface, causing Lana to wonder if they’ll find the killer in time…or if they’ll be the next ones pushed over the edge.
