Summary

It can cause pain or give strength, it can make people hate or do stupid things, but…
Every sincere love story, regardless of the gender of the person experiencing it... is a beautiful thing and as such must be respected, encouraged, motivated, protected…

This first book deals with a highly topical social issue: the father-son relationship when sexual “diversity” is discovered or confessed. Roberto, a charming and charismatic rich businessman, has neglected his family for too long, and when he discovers his teenage son’s homosexuality, he cannot accept it. He hates him, beats him, kicks him out of the house. And this intransigence causes him to lose family and friends. He lives terrible days, he cannot find the strength to react, he is on the verge of giving up, when Mario enters his life, who with his methods helps him not only to accept the boy, but to love him more than before and to advise him. However, Roberto is also the victim of a shady character who wants to ruin him by attacking his business and his loved ones. Mario finds himself juggling between Roberto’s intransigence in accepting Nick, the search for this mysterious character, and his own heart. This forces him not only to risk his life, but also to come to terms with his feelings after such a long time.

    Written in 1835, this is a unique example of sci-fi wrtten by a man much better known for dark and fantastical horror. Intended by Poe to be a hoax, this tale describes a journey in a balloon that includes the view of the Earth from space and a volcanic, seething satellite.From the wiki:"The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall" (1835) is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in the June 1835 issue of the monthly magazine Southern Literary Messenger as "Hans Phaall -- A Tale", intended by Poe to be a hoax.The story is regarded as one of the early examples of the modern science fiction genre. The story traces the journey of a voyage to the moon.Poe planned to continue the hoax in further installments, but was pre-empted by the Great Moon Hoax which started in the August 25, 1835 issue of the New York Sun daily newspaper. Poe later wrote that the satirical tone of the story made it easy for readers to see through the supposed hoax.Poe's story had an influence on, and is referenced in, Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon, which can be seen as a retelling of the story.[5] Verne acknowledged Poe as the creator of the "scientific novel" when he referred to him as 'le créateur du roman merveilleux scientifique'.Poe later published a similar hoax, "The Balloon-Hoax", in the New York Sun in 1844.

    Detective Claudia Nunn has never seen anything so beautiful — or so horrifying. The intricate drawing is sent to her at work. It shows a man, naked on a bed. His arms are bound, his face contorted in agony, a huge blade stuck deep in his back. Gory? Certainly. Something to worry about? Not likely. Police get sent weird stuff all the time. Until Claudia is called to a crime scene that exactly recreates the drawing. 
     
    When another sketch arrives, Claudia thinks she might have a serial killer on her hands, who thinks he’s an artist. Claudia’s in a race against time to stop anyone else dying — and the next victim could be her. 
     
    Perfect for fans of Helen H. Durrant, Rachel Abbott, Biba Pearce, Angela Marsons and L.J. Ross. 
     
    “An original take on the classic police procedural, I found it pacy, dark and compelling.” JANE ISAAC
