Just an ordinary man

Giovanni Bertini

Summary

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.

All Souls Lost

Dan Moren

Say hello to Mike Lucifer, Spiritual Consultant. He’s back in town to take care of business. Unfortunately, when business is good, things must be very, very bad. 
 
After two years trying to run away from his past, Mike Lucifer’s back in his office less than ten minutes when a persistent young woman shows up asking for help: her boyfriend’s been possessed by a demon. 
 
That’s exactly the kind of mess that drove him from his hometown of Boston to a sunny beach—and the bottom of a bottle—in the first place. But there are some problems that even booze can’t drown, and while Lucifer may be no hero, his dwindling bank account provides a thousand reasons to take the case. 
 
No sooner is he back in the game then the complications and corpses start to add up. The boyfriend’s not possessed—he’s dead. The tech company where he worked is looking shadier by the second. And Lucifer’s client definitely knows more than she should…about everything. The deeper Lucifer digs, the more he wonders if whatever sinister entity lurks behind this case wants him to be the last to die…

Multo

Cindy Fazzi

His latest job is to catch the one that got away…three times.

Filipino-American bounty hunter Domingo has made a career of catching criminal undocumented immigrants. He’s the best in the business—and it isn’t lost on him that he’s so good because of his similarities to his targets. Despite Domingo’s claims that he is unsympathetic to their plight, yet spends his spare moments on stakeouts and in between jobs writing a book of advice for aspiring immigrants. Brash, funny, and candid, he compiles the names of all the people he’s apprehended, documenting the hazards of his profession, and imparting advice to foreigners who dare to dream of life in America.

Domingo’s latest job is finding biracial Filipino woman Monica Reed—for the third time. Monica is the only fugitive who has ever escaped him, and the only one he’s ever released, against orders. As he embarks on a third and final hunt for her, Domingo uncovers a dangerous truth that Monica was determined to publicize—even though it put her life in danger. And as he chases her around the country, despite his agreement to arrest people like Monica, Domingo finds himself taking her side. Flushing out immigrants whose biggest crime was clinging to the American Dream pales in comparison to getting justice for a woman who he discovers was living in the shadows, but was only ever searching for the truth.

Full of action and humor, MULTO is also a meditation on what it means to be unwelcome and unwanted in a country you love and the sacrifices such love requires.
