Un omicidio in alto mare. Una straordinaria coppia di detective. Un demone che esiste. O forse no.«Se dovete leggere un libro quest'anno, assicuratevi che sia questo» – Daily Mail«Una diabolica saga marinara» – Kirkus, STARRED Review«L'uomo che ha rivoluzionato un genere monolitico come il giallo» - Riccardo De Palo, il MessaggeroBatavia, Indie orientali olandesi, 1634. La Saardam, col suo carico di pepe, spezie, sete e trecento anime tra passeggeri e membri dell'equipaggio, è pronta a salpare alla volta di Amsterdam. Una traversata non priva di insidie, tra malattie, tempeste e pirati in agguato in oceani ancora largamente inesplorati. Le vele ripiegate, il galeone accoglie nel suo ventre il corteo dei passeggeri aperto da Jan Haan, il governatore generale di Batavia. In sella a uno stallone bianco, seguito da un'accozzaglia di cortigiani e adulatori e da quattro moschettieri che reggono una pesante cassa dal contenuto misterioso, Haan procede impettito. Ad Amsterdam riceverà l'ambito premio per i suoi servigi: sarà uno degli enigmatici Diciassette del consiglio direttivo della Compagnia. Poco dietro avanza il palanchino che ospita Sara Wessel, sua moglie, una nobildonna dai capelli rossi decorati di gemme preziose e un segreto ben custodito nel cuore, e Lia, sua figlia, una ragazzina insolitamente pallida. Seguono dignitari e passeggeri di riguardo, ciambellani, capitani della guardia e viscontesse e, alla fine, a chiudere il corteo, un uomo coi ricci scuri appiccicati alla fronte e un altro con la testa rasata e il naso schiacciato. Sono Samuel Pipps, celebre detective appena trasferito al porto dalle segrete del forte, dov'era recluso con l'accusa di aver commesso un crimine meritevole di processo in patria, e il tenente Arent Hayes, sua fedele guardia del corpo. Le operazioni di imbarco proseguirebbero secondo un consolidato copione se un oscuro evento non funestasse la partenza. In piedi su una pila di casse, un lebbroso vestito di stracci grigi, prima di prendere stranamente fuoco, annuncia che «il signore dell'oscurità» ha decretato che ogni essere vivente a bordo della Saardam sarà colpito da inesorabile rovina e che la nave non arriverà mai alla sua meta. Non è il solo segno funesto. Non appena il galeone prende il largo, sulle vele compare uno strano simbolo: un occhio con una coda. Splendida conferma del talento dell'autore de Le sette morti di Evelyn Hardcastle, Il diavolo e l'acqua scura è stato accolto al suo apparire in Inghilterra e negli Stati Uniti da un entusiastico consenso di pubblico e di critica.

Una storia tra rocambolesche fughe, una misteriosa setta disposta a tutto pur di realizzare i propri scopi e un terribile segreto che affonda le sue radici in un lontano passato\r\n«Se vi è piaciuto Le sette morti di Evelyn Hardcastle di Stuart Turton amerete di sicuro questo romanzo». - Hello Magazine\r\n«Una trama ricca, una prosa brillante, una lettura irresistibile». - The TimesÈ una mite sera di giugno del 1881, la sera della festa di fidanzamento di Phoebe Stanbury. Mano nella mano di Benjamin Raycraft, il fidanzato appartenente a una delle famiglie più in vista della Londra vittoriana, Phoebe accoglie gli invitati con un sorriso raggiante di gioia. È il suo momento, l’istante che suggella la sua appartenenza alla buona società londinese. Un istante destinato a durare poco.\r\nDalla folla accalcata attorno alla coppia si stacca una sinistra figura, un uomo nudo, sporco di fango e col torace coperto da una griglia di tatuaggi, come un fiore gigante. L’uomo solleva il braccio verso Benjamin, facendo balenare la lama stretta nella mano: «Ho promesso che ti avrei salvato» dice, prima di avventarsi sull’ignara Phoebe e tagliarle la gola con un rapido gesto.\r\nLa mattina seguente, a pochi chilometri di distanza, William Lamb, ventitré anni e l’ambizione di diventare socio dell’avvocato Bridge una volta completato il praticantato, fa visita a un cliente molto particolare, Ambrose Habborlain, sino a quel momento seguito esclusivamente da Bridge. Si ritrova al cospetto di un uomo dai capelli canuti e dallo sguardo smarrito che, in preda alla paura, gli consegna un misterioso messaggio: «Dite a Bridge che il Cercatore sa».\r\nTornato allo studio, William spera di avere da Bridge delucidazioni sull’oscuro comportamento di Habborlain. Ma, contro ogni aspettativa, l’anziano avvocato viene colto anche lui dal terrore. Con affanno apre l’ultimo cassetto della scrivania, estrae un piccolo cofanetto in legno sul cui coperchio sono intagliati sette cerchi all’interno di un ottavo, a formare un grande fiore, e lo affida a William con la raccomandazione di tenerlo al sicuro e non farne parola con nessuno.\r\nTra rocambolesche fughe, una misteriosa setta disposta a tutto pur di realizzare i propri scopi e un terribile segreto che affonda le sue radici in un lontano passato, William vivrà giorni turbolenti in una Londra vittoriana che, come un gigantesco labirinto di misteri, custodisce antiche leggende e oscure macchinazioni, saperi secolari e nuovi pericolosi intrighi.

'The most fun I've had with a book this year. Every page is a delight' Stuart Turton, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle\n\nThey were a band of mysterious private detectives who lived beneath the streets of London...\n\nLondon, 1958. Elaborately disguised and hidden deep beneath the city's streets lies the world of Miss Brickett's, a secret detective agency. From traversing deceptive escape rooms, to engineering almost magical mechanical gadgets, apprentice detectives at Miss Brickett's undergo rigorous training to equip them with the skills and knowledge they will need to solve the mysteries that confound London's police force. \n\nBut nothing can prepare 23-year-old apprentice Marion Lane for what happens after the arrest of her friend and mentor, Frank, on suspicion of murder: he tasks Marion with clearing his name and saving his life. Her investigation will place Marion and her friends in great peril as they venture into the forbidden maze of uncharted tunnels that surround Miss Brickett's. Being discovered out of bounds means immediate dismissal, but that is the least of Marion's problems... \n\nThis is the first installation in a fantastical historical mystery series for fans of Stuart Turton's The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and Natasha Pulley's The Watchmaker of Filigree Street.

Stanotte Evelyn Hardcastle verrà uccisa... di nuovo. Come puoi impedire un omicidio già compiuto?\r\n\r\n«Complesso, affascinante e sconcertante. Un debutto straordinariamente raffinato» – The Times\r\n\r\n«Da capogiro. abbagliante come il finale di uno spettacolo di fuochi d’artificio» – Guardian\r\n\r\n«Questo libro mi ha fatto impazzire. È assolutamente originale e unico. Non riuscivo a togliermelo dalla testa» – Sophie Hannah\r\n\r\nBlackheath House è una maestosa residenza di campagna cinta da migliaia di acri di foresta, una tenuta enorme che, nelle sue sale dagli stucchi sbrecciati dal tempo, è pronta ad accogliere gli invitati al ballo in maschera indetto da Lord Peter e Lady Helena Hardcastle. Gli ospiti sono membri dell'alta società, ufficiali, banchieri, medici ai quali è ben nota la tenuta degli Hardcastle. Diciannove anni prima erano tutti presenti al ricevimento in cui un tragico evento – la morte del giovane Thomas Hardcastle – ha segnato la storia della famiglia e della loro residenza, condannando entrambe a un inesorabile declino. Ora sono accorsi attratti dalla singolare circostanza di ritrovarsi di nuovo insieme, dalle sorprese promesse da Lord Peter per la serata, dai costumi bizzarri da indossare, dai fuochi d'artificio. Alle undici della sera, tuttavia, la morte torna a gettare i suoi dadi a Blackheath House. Nell'attimo in cui esplodono nell'aria i preannunciati fuochi d'artificio, Evelyn, la giovane e bella figlia di Lord Peter e Lady Helena, scivola lentamente nell'acqua del laghetto che orna il giardino antistante la casa. Morta, per un colpo di pistola al ventre. Un tragico decesso che non pone fine alle crudeli sorprese della festa. L'invito al ballo si rivela un gioco spietato, una trappola inaspettata per i convenuti a Blackheath House e per uno di loro in particolare: Aiden Bishop. Evelyn Hardcastle non morirà, infatti, una volta sola. Finché Aiden non risolverà il mistero della sua morte, la scena della caduta nell'acqua si ripeterà, incessantemente, giorno dopo giorno. E ogni volta si concluderà con il fatidico colpo di pistola. La sola via per porre fine a questo tragico gioco è identificare l'assassino. Ma, al sorgere di ogni nuovo giorno, Aiden si sveglia nel corpo di un ospite differente. E qualcuno è determinato a impedirgli di fuggire da Blackheath House... Accolto dall'entusiasmo della critica al suo apparire, vincitore del Costa First Novel Award, Le sette morti di Evelyn Hardcastle è, come ha scritto il Financial Times, «qualcosa in cui il lettore non si è mai imbattuto fino ad ora», un romanzo geniale in cui Agatha Christie incontra \"Black Mirror\".
