      Drawn by family. Driven by fear. Haunted by fate. Would knowing the future be a gift or a burden? Or even a curse…? The Whitney women of Salem, Massachusetts are renowned for reading the future in the patterns of lace. But the future doesn’t always bring good news – as Towner Whitney knows all too well. When she was just fifteen her gift sent her whole world crashing to pieces. She predicted – and then witnessed – something so horrific that she vowed never to read lace again, and fled her home and family for good. Salem is a place of ghosts for Towner, and she swore she would never return. Yet family is a powerful tie. So it is that fifteen years later, Towner finds herself back in Salem. Her beloved Great Aunt Eva has suddenly disappeared – and when you’ve lived a life like Eva’s, that could mean real trouble. But Salem is wreathed in sickly shadows and whispered half-memories. It’s fast becoming clear that the ghosts of Towner’s fractured past have not been brought fully into the light. And with them comes the threat of terrifying new disaster. A literary page-turner with depth, narrative power and a story that novels like ‘The Thirteenth Tale’ can only dream of, ‘The Lace Reader’ is a bewitching and tightly plotted read.

      Alejandro Ballesteros, giovane docente d'arte, giunge in pieno inverno a Venezia, allagata e coperta di neve, per completare le sue ricerche sul misterioso quadro del Giorgione, pittore rinascimentale. In soli quattro giorni Ballesteros assiste all'assassinio di un famoso falsario d'arte, si innamora di una donna eccezionale e conosce personaggi tenebrosi vincolati dalla clandestinità e dal delitto. Tutto ciò nella cornice di una città dove arte e vita si confondono e dove nulla è come sembra.

      Un giorno di dicembre, nel bagno dell'ufficio in cui lavora Héctor Belascoarán Shayne, detective indipendente, viene trovato il cadavere di un uomo travestito da antico ramano, con tanto di elmo, armatura e sandali (ma con i calzini). A breve distanza di tempo Héctor riceve una busta contenente la fotografia di un altro cadavere, un minaccioso invito a non immischiarsi e un biglietto aereo per New York. La malsana ossessione di Belascoarán lo spinge abuttarsi a capofitto in un caso sempre più complicato che a poco a poco assume le caratteristiche di un vero incubo coinvolgendo gli altri 3 inquilini dell'ufficio, i suoi fratelli e la sua misteriosa compagna "a intermittenza", la ragazza con la coda di cavallo.
