Publisher's summary
"A Palermo ad agosto non succede mai niente". Di questo è convinto il commissario Francesco Mancuso della Omicidi, ma sarà smentito dai fatti. Nel sotterraneo della chiesa delle Anime Purganti viene trovato il corpo di un uomo nudo, con una pietra al collo, giustiziato con un colpo alla nuca.
Nel giro di pochi giorni gli uomini uccisi con lo stesso rituale si moltiplicano. Le indagini si snodano fra istituti per trovatelli e fondazioni religiose, pedofili noti e pervertiti insospettabili, palazzi lussuosi e cassonetti dell'immondizia, chiavi che tutti potevano prendere ma che nessuno può avere preso; intuizioni, depistaggi e conti che non tornano, passi avanti e "passi di lato".
Un puzzle che Mancuso ricomporrà per un finale inatteso e ad alta tensione.
Carlo Barbieri (1946) è uno scrittore italiano. Legato molto alla sua terra natia, la Sicilia, Barbieri ha vissuto e lavorato in Nord Africa e medioriente. Marketer e chimico pentito, come si definisce lui stesso, adesso scrive gialli.

They were madly in love. The perfect couple. That was the story everyone in South River believed...until Gin Talcott and Adam Archer are found shot in their bed. Adam is dead at the scene. Gin is fighting for her life. Detectives Greta Jessup and Finn Pate are assigned to the case. Greta has a long history with Gin’s first husband, Eddie, and is determined to protect his 18-year-old twins. Piper discovered the bodies. Daniel is missing—and so is Adam’s gun.

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.
