Nella minuscola cittadina di Torre Piccola è avvenuto uno strano incidente: il giovane saldatore Francesco Ramarri, appassionato di pittura, è morto nel cantiere Ostro, durante la costruzione della nave da crociera Athena Museàl. È quindi compito del sostituto procuratore, Sara Malerba, indagare sul caso, col prezioso aiuto del maresciallo dei carabinieri Elvio Berardi. Pochi ed enigmatici, gli indizi: un testimone poco avvezzo a parlare, una fotografia, un monile e un quadro dipinto dal celebre scrittore Carlo Levi. Il tutto, poi, si intreccia col grottesco caso di un’anziana signora che denuncia la mancata consegna di bollini per una raccolta punti. Intriso di ironia, ma al contempo sostenuto da una suspense che non molla mai chi legge, "Operazione Athena" è un esordio brillante, che si nutre di continui rimandi al mondo dell’arte, della letteratura e del cinema (quest’ultimo passione innata della protagonista). Insomma: una storia imperdibile!Luigi Irdi (Roma) è giornalista, scrittore e poeta, da pochi anni anche brillante autore di crime fiction. Nei suoi quarantacinque anni di esperienza, ha collaborato con alcuni tra i maggiori periodici italiani, fra cui L’Europeo, Il Venerdì di Repubblica, Il Corriere della Sera e National Geographic Magazine. Ha esordito nel 2020 con "Operazione Athena", seguito, l’anno successivo, da "Il nero sta bene su tutto".

Welke geheime informatie heeft Bobby, en wie heeft geprobeerd hem ervoor om te leggen? De eigengereide privédetective Kinsey Millhone wordt aangesproken door de gebroken Bobby in de sportschool. Hij vertelt dat hij op een nacht werd aangereden en in een ravijn belandde. Wonder boven wonder overleefde hij het ongeluk, maar na de traumatische gebeurtenis is zijn geheugen bijna helemaal verdwenen. Toch is hij ervan overtuigd dat het niet zomaar een ongeluk was, maar een gerichte moordpoging. Doodsbenauwd voor een nieuwe aanslag schakelt hij de hulp in van Kinsey. Maar hoe kan zij hem helpen als Bobby zich niets meer kan herinneren? Dan slaat het noodlot toe. Vlak nadat Kinsey met de opdracht is begonnen, wordt Bobby dood gevonden...‘C van crimineel’ is het derde boek in de populaire Alfabetreeks van New York Times-bestsellerauteur Sue Grafton, met de eigenwijze Kinsey Millhone in de hoofdrol."The writing is as good as the literary tradition behind it."—Patricia Holt, San Francisco Chronicle"A nice piece of work."—John D. MacDonald"Grafton's a heads-up delight."—Cryptus, Detroit NewsSue Grafton (1940 - 2017) was een beroemde Amerikaanse detectiveschrijfster. Haar populaire Alfabetreeks, die in 1982 begon met ‘A van alibi’, werd wereldwijd een hit. Het was ten tijde van de eerste publicatie bijzonder dat een vrouwelijke detective de hoofdrol had. In de reeks volgt Graftons miljoenenpubliek privédetective Kinsey Millhone die moordzaken probeert op te lossen. Vlak voor haar overlijden in 2017 kwam de laatste misdaadroman in de reeks uit: ‘Y staat voor...’, waarmee Graftons moordalfabet eindigt met de letter Y. De New York Times-bestsellerauteur heeft het hoofdpersonage Kinsey op haar eigen alter ego gebaseerd, een versie van zichzelf als ze niet jong was getrouwd en geen kinderen had gehad. Haar boeken zijn in 29 landen uitgegeven. Bovendien won de schrijfster, naast vele andere prijzen, de Anthony Best Novel Award maar liefst drie keer.
