About this listen
“Il Coccodrillo” lo chiamano i giornali: perché, come il coccodrillo quando divora i propri figli, piange. E come il coccodrillo è una perfetta macchina di morte: si apposta, osserva, aspetta. E colpisce. Tre giovani, di età e provenienza sociale diverse, vengono trovati morti in tre differenti quartieri, freddati dal colpo di un’unica pistola. L’ispettore Giuseppe Lojacono è l’unico che non si ferma alle apparenze, e riuscirà a trovare il collegamento, apparentemente inesistente, tra i delitti.

Story
Sono sette. Gigi, il Presidente, il Cinese, Hulk, Mammina, Alex e un ultimo agente scelto che vorrebbe esser chiamato Serpico. Ognuno ha qualcosa da nascondere o da farsi perdonare. Per tutti sono i Bastardi di Pizzofalcone, poliziotti che devono ricostruire l'immagine di un commissariato con una macchia difficile da cancellare. Li hanno scelti perché sono sicuri che falliranno... Staremo a vedere.

Story
In Europa la guerra è cominciata, eppure da noi qualcuno si illude ancora che sia possibile tenerla fuori della porta. E poi sta arrivando la piú bella delle feste, quella dove si mangia, si beve, ci si abbraccia, quella in cui ci si scambiano doni con le persone care. Erminia Cascetta era diversa, a modo suo. Aveva troppa voglia di vivere, perciò l’hanno uccisa. In questo tempo che accelera verso l’abisso, spetta al commissario Ricciardi e al brigadiere Maione scoprire chi è stato. La chiave di tutto, però, è sempre la solitudine.

Story
Nel villaggio dietro la Collina Secca, dentro la Casa Strana, vive da sempre la vecchia Nonnamà, che mentre sbuccia frutta e verdure tiene i bambini di tutti, e racconta loro le storie più belle, quelle che sono anche un po’ vere ma non si sa mai fino a quanto. E così Nonnamà racconta la storia di Gnazio, che tanto tanto tempo fa viveva in quel villaggio e amava la terra e le piante, ma che poi era dovuto partire oltre il mare, ed era stato via così tanto che quando era tornato era forse troppo vecchio per avere una moglie, ma poi ne aveva trovata una, Maruzza.

Story
In una mattina di aprile, alla Playa, l'unica spiaggia sabbiosa di Catania, viene scoperto il cadavere di Thomas Ruscica, qualcuno lo ha ucciso con un colpo di rastrello alla testa. Thomas era uno dei "carusi" di don Rosario Limoli, parroco di frontiera che opera nel difficile quartiere di San Cristoforo. Vanina lo conosceva: un ragazzo con una famiglia e un passato pesanti alle spalle, però determinato a rifarsi una vita e ad aiutare altri come lui. Criminalità organizzata o delitto passionale? Questo è il dilemma che da subito si trova davanti la polizia.

Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali. Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret. Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe. Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Nathan Tyler is an unassuming professor at a middling American university with a rather obscure specialty in mathematics—in short, a nobody from nowhere. So why is the White House calling? Summoned to Washington, DC, for a top-secret briefing, Nathan discovers that he’s the key to a massive foreign intelligence breakthrough. Reading between the lines of a cryptic series of equations, he could open a door straight into the heart of the Kremlin and change the global balance of power forever.

Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

È un libro avvincente, ironico e spiritoso.
La storia è intervallata dai pensieri dei protagonisti che non appesantiscono o rallentano la narrazione, ed
anche i loro problemi e la vita sentimentale non interferisce con il ritmo narrativo come accade in altri romanzi di questo autore.
