    We all have a dark place in our subconscious that comes out only in dreams as nightmares. To write them down is to capture them and give insight to the trepidation we can instill in others. The darkness is a deep, inky black. It's a place where our fears take root and grow. It's a place where we are powerless and alone. It's a place where we are lost and can't find our way back. The darkness is a place where we are consumed by our fears and nightmares.

    It Is What It Is... this indeed describes the circumstances, views and lives of the characters of this novel, but also their constant struggle with what is right and what is wrong, or moreover, what is to be found moral and immoral, what is to be found ethical and unethical. It is impossible not to be drawn into this world where the characters of the book have to make decisions that society would rather sweep under the rug or turn their back on. It is never that simple, life is full of complications, and society cannot dictate the rules we live by. Sometimes it is required of Frank to step up, and step outside these rules that society has created and that measures into his own hands. He is not a vigilante, that would be such a disregard to what he truly is and has become. No, Frank is a whole different animal altogether, and he shares this life, unexpectedly with people that cross his path. Why they are allowed to live is beyond Frank. Maybe amidst all the carnage the simplicity of humanity can still touch even him.

    Luke Woam is out to become a missing person finder. With such awesome skills as being long-term unemployed; award-winning daytime television trivia knowledge; racking breadcake trays (and occasionally injecting jam into doughnuts when needed in an emergency) and generally being good at nothing useful, Luke sets out with his girlfriend in tow, to the metropolis that is London, to work on his first ever case-locating a runaway teenage girl. It's a case that will take him way out of his comfort zone of his bed, settee, console, television and unhealthy snacks, which (like everything else in his life post-school), have mostly been paid for by the benefit system. Luke and his partner, Tina, are thrust into a dangerous world far unlike their own back in small-time Bolton. On the plus side, they do possess a cheap, tacky, lucky charm purchased from a gypsy-like night-time street peddler of an old lady; the charm is probably of no real help to be honest, but alas, it is all in the belief, innit? And, both are in their early 20s still, is that a plus or minus, who knows in this lark? So, do the UK's newest, fledgling double act crack their maiden case, or does this missing maiden case crack them? One thing is for sure though, it definitely is a case of people, cultures and cities on a cataclysmic, nay, apocalyptic collision...well, they come into contact anyway!

    In 2015, Aaron Statham - a very successful marathon runner in the past - goes missing on his wedding day. The police are convinced that the young man has disappeared of his own free will and close the inquiry. Only his fiancée Lisa doesn't believe that Aaron is capable of betraying her, she is convinced that something horrible has happened to him. A year later, having exhausted all other means, she turns to the small "H&W private investigation agency", run by an eccentric 62-year-old Lady Arina Holroyd and her junior partner Luke Weir, to find out the truth. The case of the missing marathoner is not as straightforward as it seems at first glance, nor how it is dealt with by the police. It turns out to be a much more complex and increasingly dangerous murder investigation. The nearer Arina and Luke get to the bottom of it, the more obstacles they meet on their way. The killer is clever and heartless, he removes anybody who gets in his way, he doesn't leave any trace behind. One after another the key witnesses are murdered or disappear without a trace. The killer is exceptionally smart, he covers up his tracks well and, like a shark, he is approaching from the deep gloom ready for the next merciless attack.

    "It seemed, at the time, back on the 29th of July 1996, that the newspapers' black, thick and bold headlines were screaming - you could almost hear the foul cries. Talkback radio programmes didn't discuss any other topic but that one and the TV networks - ALL TV networks - were working around the clock, sending their best reporters, trying to outdo each other: crews from around the globe - even from the USSR - assembled in Beijing, China's capital, and in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Switzerland was in shock - after all, the Schmidt family members were Swiss citizens and held Swiss passports..." This is how Uri J Palti begins his amazing novel - a delicate love story well-spiced with ingenious and unbelievable spying. From the first chapter to the last, you won't be able to put Dream Is Another Word for Hope down, eager to find out how the story develops and how it ends...

    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.

    To Christian Simpkins, time was of the essence. His old friend, a rather eccentric rotund scientist had been abducted from his own facility in Cornwall, England. Simpkins was on the trail, piecing together tiny snippets of information to steer him onward into the unknown. Others also desperately wanted this scientist, they wanted his knowledge and they wanted a particular little prototype that could seemingly defy gravity. Slowly, too slowly, Simpkins begins to unravel the workings of those that took his friend and their murderous intentions. Highly skilled in their deadly arts, they turned their attention to this worrying thorn in their side. Simpkins' survival plan was based on luck, circumstance and very little else except his strangely tuned mind, a strategy somewhat lost to the seasoned professionals on their deadly errand. A fast-paced windmill of twists of thought and cryptic subterfuge. A tale of intrigue, death, love and unerring friendship set in today's world of unforgiving hard truths.
