Gli Archivi di Enzo

Questa serie segue le avventure di uno scienziato brillante ma imperfetto, coinvolto nella risoluzione di vecchi casi irrisolti francesi. Mescola magistralmente il mistero del "whodunit" e l'indagine avvincente con l'umorismo e la complessa vita personale del protagonista. Ogni caso lo spinge più a fondo negli oscuri segreti del passato, costringendolo a usare scienza all'avanguardia e acuta intuizione per scoprire la verità. I lettori saranno catturati dai colpi di scena, dove l'esperienza forense si scontra con criminali pericolosi ed emozioni umane profondamente sepolte.

    Stará záhada. Moderné technológie. Temné znamenia. Expert Enzo Macleod na stope nevšedného zločinu. Brilantná detektívka z pera Petra Maya, jedného z najoceňovanejších autorov súčasnosti. Píše sa august roku 1996 a celý Paríž je šokovaný záhadným zmiznutím jedného z najvýznamnejších francúzskych intelektuálov svojrázneho odborníka na francúzsku kinematografiu Jacquesa Gaillarda. Jediná indícia, ktorú po sebe zanecháva, je tajuplná poznámka v diári na pracovnom stole. Mad a minuit. Koho alebo čo označuje? Polícia je bezradná a vyšetrovanie sa čoskoro ocitá v slepej uličke. Zdá sa, že Gaillardovo zmiznutie zostane navždy zahalené tajomstvom. O desať rokov neskôr Enzo Macleod, bývalý škótsky kriminalista, ktorého osud zavial do francúzskeho Cahors, prijíma výzvu priateľov a podujme sa vyriešiť zabudnutý Gaillardov prípad. Hľadanie pravdy, spočiatku motivované najmä túžbou vyhrať stávku, Macleoda čoskoro úplne pohltí. Otrasné zistenia, ku ktorým dospeje, okamžite zaujmú aj vyššie politické kruhy, čím sa však Enzov život i celé vyšetrovanie značne skomplikuje.

    Three years ago the body of France's foremost wine critic was found strung up like a scarecrow in a Gaillac vineyard, dressed in the ceremonial robes of the Order of the Divine Bottle and pickled in wine. For ex-pat Scot and forensic forager Enzo Macleod, the answer to this unsolved murder lies in cracking the critic's secretly coded reviews - which on publication could make or break a vineyard's reputation. He finds that under the sweet idyll of southern French winery lurks a bitter, back-stabbing community - including several suspects for the critic's death.

    A promise made to a dying man leads forensics ace Enzo Macleod, a Scot who's been teaching in France for many years, to the study which the man's heir has preserved for nearly twenty years. The dead man left several clues there designed to reveal the killer's identity to the man's son, but ironically the son died soon after the father. So begins the fourth of seven cold cases written up in a bestselling book by Parisian journalist Roger Raffin that Enzo rashly boasted he could solve (he's been successful with the first three). It takes Enzo to a tiny island off the coast of Brittany in France, where he must confront the hostility of locals who have no desire to see the infamous murder back in the headlines. An attractive widow, a man charged but acquitted of the murder--but still the viable suspect, a crime scene frozen in time, a dangerous hell hole by the cliffs, and a collection of impenetrable messages, make this one of Enzo's most difficult cases.
