Book Description
Lungo le acque del Mississippi scorrono vite diverse e affascinanti. La Louisiana di fine Ottocento è una terra di contrasti: vi si alternano inglese e francese, la schiavitù è stata abolita ma la segregazione è radicata nella società, città che paiono copie di quelle europee sono attraversate dalle culture creola e afroamericana. Così, nei racconti di Kate Chopin, ambientati in questi luoghi, si consumano amori felici e infelici, soprusi e storie di riscatto personale.

Pages : 338
Book Description
WINNER OF THE JOHN CREASEY DEBUT DAGGER AWARD Nominated for the Edgar Award for best first novel An astonishing debut crime thriller about an unforgettable woman who combines the genius and ferocity of Lisbeth Salander with the ruthless ambition of Walter White The Crenshaw Six are a small but up-and-coming gang in South Central LA who have recently been drawn into an escalating war between rival drug cartels. To outsiders, the Crenshaw Six appear to be led by a man named Garcia . . . but what no one has figured out is that the gang's real leader (and secret weapon) is Garcia's girlfriend, a brilliant young woman named Lola. Lola has mastered playing the role of submissive girlfriend, and in the man's world she inhabits she is consistently underestimated. But in truth she is much, much smarter--and in many ways tougher and more ruthless--than any of the men around her, and as the gang is increasingly sucked into a world of high-stakes betrayal and brutal violence, her skills and leadership become their only hope of survival. Lola marks the debut of a hugely exciting new thriller writer, and of a singular, magnificent character unlike anyone else in fiction.
