The Murder at Belpoggio Street - Italo Svevo

Svevo Italo

Beschreibung

After dropping out of high school, Giorgio, a lazy and reckless young man from Trieste, works as a porter and shares a small room with a peer of his age. Money is scarce, and so, in a moment of madness, the young man robs and kills a man. The hair-raising attempts to escape from the police begin. More than from the authorities, though, what Giorgio wants to flee from is himself and the horror he has committed. This unusual detective story, which immerses the reader in a bygone era, marks the literary maturity of Italo Svevo, one of the greatest Italian writers of the 20th century.

Italo Svevo (1861-1928), born Aron Hector Schmitz, was an Italian writer. Influenced by the multicultural nature of his city, Trieste, Svevo was a keen observer of social changes and a pioneer of psychological introspection in literature. Among his most famous works are "Una vita," "Senilità," and "La coscienza di Zeno" (Confessions of Zeno).

Malyn Bromfield

On 17th October, 1678, Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey, a justice of the peace, is discovered dead in a ditch at Primrose Hill, run through with his own sword. Suicide or murder? This has been the historian's dilemma for three centuries. King Charles II had awarded Godfrey a knighthood for his bravery following the great plague and the fire of London. But is Godfrey all he appears to be? During his final days, Godfrey confesses to friends that he is master of a great secret and will be hanged. Titus Oates, arguably the most audacious liar history has ever known, had visited Godfrey claiming to have discovered a Jesuit plot to assassinate King Charles II and overthrow Parliament. Following a £500 reward from the King for information about Godfrey's death, murderers are named and Samuel Pepys, Secretary of the Naval Office, discovers that he has an enemy who has accused him of orchestrating Godfrey's murder. He must seek the truth to save himself.
Readers will accompany Mr Pepys to coffee houses, taverns, palaces, to his home where his marriage is in crisis, to Newgate prison, and to the trials of men who are accused of murdering Godfrey. Who lies and who is telling the truth? Who killed Edmund Godfrey?

Message in a Bullet - A Raymond...

Owen Thomas

Raymond Mackey is a struggling crime writer. His friends call him Mack. But friends are in short supply these days. Mack’s 30 years as a homicide detective came to the kind of abrupt, ignominious end that tends to make friends dry up and blow away. It matters little that Mack was never actually a mole working for a shadowy, seemingly omnipresent mob boss. Somehow, the evidence was there anyway, and the scandal ended everything for him overnight. Lucky to stay out of prison, Mack lives in a netherworld of forced retirement, spinning his memories of old homicide cases into pulp fiction and working part time as a shopping mall cop. His wife Marlo has been dead of pancreatic cancer for nearly five years. That leaves his ancient Smith-Corona Corsair, a pack of Camels, a bottle of Old Forester, and Marlo’s bourbon-loving cat, Phil, as Mack’s only company.Almost. Because Mack also keeps himself company. The psychiatrists call it depersonalization-derealization disorder. Mack calls it triple-D. But crazy also works. It means he watches himself, usually from an overhead perspective, as though someone has tied a floating camera to a back beltloop on a long string. It makes him feel watched, and not by someone inclined to judge him kindly. “Watch yourself, Mack,” people tell him. He has no choice.When an old informant goes missing and Mack’s face turns up in a dead man’s camera, his past comes roaring painfully back to life. Now the cops want him for questioning, the mob want him dead, and it’s getting tough to tell who, exactly, is working for who. As a mercilessly hot Chicago summer finally breaks and it starts to rain bodies, Mack is past his prime for this kind of action. Retirement has added weight and subtracted agility. His antiquated cell phone will not stop ringing with a mysteriously blocked number. In the end, as Mack watches himself from above, it is razor-sharp instinct, cheap consumer electronics, and his dead wife that offer his only hope.
