Thriller, yellow, noir: in June there will be exits in the name of mystery and action, capable of satisfying a transversal and varied audience of readers: from lovers of the ‘old -fashioned’ investigations to fans of action novels that would not disfigure as a subject for a TV series, passing through the ‘TikTok generation’. There will be for everyone, but the most awaited palm goes to The assassins of dawn by Michel Bussi, published by E/O. Giallist more read from the Alps, a master of illusion and manipulation, Bussi leads the reader to Guadeloupe, where strange homidical ones occur that follow a specific scheme, as if it were a mystical ritual. For the inspector Kancel and his assistants is a race against time to stop the killer. In a completely different part of the world, in Glasgow (Scotland) in 1932, it is set On the edge of the abyss by Robbie Morrison, published by Fazi: but between chases, beating and razor, the goal of the detective Dreghorn and Mcdaid is the same, to stop a ruthless killer, and the trail of blood that is sowing, as soon as possible.

The return of the saga is also very awaited, featuring the two friends Hap and Leonard, born from the pen of Joe R. Lansdale: the new chapter is titled Sugar on the bones (Einaudi) and will see the protagonists confront a ruthless criminal company, and a mysterious and disturbing opponent with purple eyes. Antonella Ossorio dug instead in the news of over a hundred years ago and with her The hunger of his heartpublished by Neri Pozza, investigates Alexe Popova, one of the most fierce assassins of the twentieth century, and at the same time on the desire for revenge and the power of sisterhood.

Adelphi Reclocks instead One -way ticket by Muriel Spark, a Crime Story claustrophobic, who drags the reader into a spiral of madness without a way out. The British writer, in this work released for the first time in 1970, subverts the trappings of the yellow novel, reveals the epilogue in advance and the mystery from events moved to the reason why they happen. At the center of the narrative, Lise, a strange protagonist, who drags the reader into a perhaps meaningless research, but to which he cannot escape. Instead, it winks at the youngest Kill for love by Laura Picklesimer (Ubagu): “An incendiary debut”, and again “a women’s Psycho”, called the publisher; A work that sees the fury of a young man at the center of the narration, apparently with a perfect life, to whom suddenly an unstoppable desire to kill young men grows.

One -way ticket (Adelphi)

(Of Muriel Spark; Exit date: June 4). Lise is the strange and painful protagonist of a unnerving metaphysical thriller, who seems to drag the reader into a research as senseless as it is unavoidable. Sofing the scheme of yellow with skill and prosaic and prosaic, Muriel Spark reveals the epilogue in advance, moving the mystery from the events to the reason why they happen, and in doing so the chilling exploration of a madness that dizzyingly falls towards one’s own fulfillment offers us.

Only at the end will the object of Lise’s research, and signs scattered along the story, in appearance, in the end, will then acquire a meaning, composing themselves in the hallucinated logic of delirium and self -destruction.

Kill for love (Ubagu)
