      1924, New York. Jenny Bell ha solo ventiquattro anni, ma è in fuga dal suo passato, che nasconde incubi ancora in grado di tormentarla. Ma adesso è stata selezionata tra i dodici talenti invitati nella prestigiosa colonia di artisti di Louis Comfort Tiffany, il celebre creatore di gioielli. È un’occasione irripetibile, Jenny sa di avere talento e non è disposta a lasciarsi distrarre proprio adesso che è così vicina al suo obiettivo: farsi notare dal grande artista. Le cose si complicano quando si accorge di essere irrimediabilmente attratta da Oliver, l’affascinante nipote di Tiffany. Tra coppe di champagne, lustrini e il ritmo frenetico del jazz, la competizione tra gli artisti della colonia si fa sempre più spietata, mentre una serie di eventi inquietanti turbano Jenny facendole capire che qualcuno conosce i segreti del suo passato e vuole smascherarla. La giovane donna dovrà affrontare una notte senza luna in cui passato e presente si scontreranno, mettendo a repentaglio il futuro, l’amore, e persino la sua stessa vita.

      La legge dell'eterno ritorno

      Una bomba a Roma, un flash di luce bluastra e il mondo del fotografo Josh Ryder esplode. Da quell'istante, niente sarà più lo stesso. Pensieri frequenti carichi di emozione, di intensità e di ricordi. Ma ricordi di chi? Sono antichi e violenti. Lontani, eppure così vividi. Josh, perseguitato da questi flashback di vite precedenti, vaga in cerca di risposte sul mistero della reincarnazione, per imbattersi infine negli scavi della professoressa Gabriella Chase: il rinvenimento di una tomba antica, circondata da un potente mistero che minaccia di mescolare passato e presente. I morti chiamano i vivi e una tragica vicenda della Roma del IV secolo rischia di ripetersi ai giorni nostri. Un'autrice che centra sempre il bersaglio, un thriller senza esclusione di colpi, ricco di atmosfera e di suggestivi richiami a fascinose schegge di passato. Sulla fortunata scia del Codice da Vinci, una corsa a perdifiato che catapulta il lettore oltre i confini del tempo e dello spazio, sino a un epilogo mozzafiato. Una lettura indimenticabile in cui il thriller si amalgama alla perfezione alla fiction storica, con risultati sorprendenti.

      In the latest series entry from Rose ( The Delilah Complex ) to feature psychiatrist Dr. Morgan Snow, a string of murders is plaguing Manhattan, and sexy sex therapist Snow's new patient—a powerful judge with a reputation for being fair and an addiction to Internet pornography—is at the top of the suspect list. While Morgan works with patients addicted to real-time Web cam fantasy girls, someone is killing off the online girls and broadcasting their slow, grisly murders on their own Internet feeds. On the case is Det. Noah Jordain, who maintains a shaky romance with Snow. Soon the investigation is giving their already strained relationship a good rattle, pitting Morgan's professional duty against Noah's. Though creepy letters from the killer to "Dearest" break up the first-person narrative with stabs of dread, this psychological thriller is less thrilling but more thoughtful than the typical genre exercise. As in Rose's first two series entries, Morgan charms as a sex shrink who's seen it all, and the grisly details and bold sexual content blend nicely with themes of family, love and friendship to form a solid whole.
