258,95 kr. Un medico in pensione scopre nel bosco delle ossa umane. È il cadavere di un bambino. Michela Gambino della scientifica di Aosta, nel privato tanto fantasiosamente paranoica da far sentire Rocco Schiavone spesso e volentieri in un reparto psichiatrico, ma straordinariamente competente, riesce a determinare i principali dettagli: circa dieci anni, morte per strangolamento, probabile violenza. L'esame dei reperti, un'indagine complessa e piena di ostacoli, permette infine di arrivare a un nome e a una data: Mirko, scomparso sei anni prima. La madre, una donna sola, non si era mai rassegnata. L'ultima volta era stato visto seduto su un muretto, vicino alla scuola dopo le lezioni, in attesa apparentemente di qualcuno. Un cold case per il vicequestore Schiavone, che lo prende non come la solita rottura di decimo livello, ma con dolente compassione, e con il disgusto di dover avere a che fare con i codici segreti di un mondo disumano. Un'indagine che lo costringe alla logica, a un procedere sistematico, a decifrare messaggi e indizi provenienti da ambienti sotterra-nei. E a collaborare strettamente con i colleghi e i sottoposti, dei quali conosce sempre più da vicino le vite private: gli amori spericolati di Antonio, il naufragio di Italo, le recenti sistemazioni senti-mentali di Casella e di Deruta, persino l'inattesa sensibilità di D'Intino, le fissazioni in fondo comiche dei due del laboratorio. Lo circondano gli echi del passato di cui il fantasma di Marina, la moglie uccisa, è il palpitante commento. Si accorge sempre più di essere inadeguato ad altri amori. È come se la solitudine stesse diventando l'esigente compagna di cui non si può fare a meno. Questa è l'indagine forse più crudele di Rocco Schiavone.

183,95 kr. After getting into serious trouble with the wrong people, Deputy Police Chief Rocco Schiavone is exiled to Aosta, a small, touristy alpine town far from his beloved Rome. The sophisticated yet crotchety Roman despises mountains, snow, and the provincial locals as much as he disdains his superiors and their petty rules. But he loves solving crimes.When a mangled body is discovered on a slope above Champoluc, Rocco immediately faces his first challenge—identifying the victim, a complex procedure complicated by his ignorance of the customs, dialect, and history of his new home. Proud and undaunted, Rocco makes his way among the ski runs, mountain huts, and aerial tramways, meeting instructors, alpine guides, the enigmatic folk of Aosta, and a few beautiful locals eager to give him a warm welcome. It won’t be easy, this mountain life, especially with a corpse or two in the mix. But then there’s nothing that makes Rocco feel more at home than an investigation.

213,95 kr. Six months after being exiled from his beloved Rome, Deputy Police Chief Rocco Schiavone has settled into a routine in the cold, quiet, chronically backward alpine town of Aosta: an espresso at home, breakfast in the piazza, and a morning joint in his office.A little self-medication helps Rocco deal with the morons that almost exclusively comprise the local force. Especially on a day like today. It's his girlfriend's birthday (if you could call her that; in his mind, Rocco's only faithful to his late wife), he has no gift?and he's about to stumble upon a corpse.It begins when a maid reports a burglary in Aosta. But there's no sign of forced entry, and after Rocco picks the lock, he notices something off about the carefully ransacked rooms. That's when he finds the body: a woman, the maid's employer, left hanging after a grisly suicide. Rocco's intuition tells him the scene has been staged. In other words, it's murder?a pain in the ass of the highest order.

There’s no doubt that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and paid the ultimate price. With the identity of the hitman still unknown, a cloud lingers over Rocco, dulling his judgment and leaving this anti-hero exposed to other threats. For Rocco has stepped on one too many people’s toes over the years, namely the mafia that is still being rooted out in Aosta. To complicate matters, the kidnapped teenager that Rocco saved has not fully recovered. But all is not as it appears with that family. Her mother, father, and boyfriend are all running some sort of farce that Rocco can’t easily crack. And now he must grapple between these two parallel investigations and find answers once and for all…before one too many skeletons come after him. With the same clever insights, vitality, and humor readers have come to expect from Manzini, Spring Cleaning is another engaging, page-turning mystery.

118,95 kr. Already an international hit, a sly, sizzling mystery set in the Italian Alps, the first in a sensational crime series. The dark flanks of the Alps tower over everything. Wind whistles through the fir trees. An expanse of ice and snow with no end in sight. A growing stain. A mess of flesh and blood. A corpse buried six inches under the snow. Enter Rocco Schiavone, Deputy Police Chief and a man who has more beautiful women in his bed than sensible shoes under it. He's stuck in this backwards Alpine town after getting on the wrong side of the wrong people and longs for the fritto misto, cobbled streets and lucky breaks of his beloved Rome. He hates this place and the provincial locals almost as much as his superiors for their petty rules and for exiling him here. On top of that, he's got a body to deal with and this mangled corpse is "e;a pain in the ass, number 10 on the scale, summa cum laude"e;... There is blood on the black run and nothing to identify the victim but a tattoo of Luisa Pec, owner of a bar popular with the locals and a pair of blue eyes popular with Rocco. Was it a crime of passion? Or of jealousy? And how are the mafia involved? Rocco Schivone is on the case, the first in a sensational new crime series.
