“Sadie Smith” is how the narrator introduces herself to her lover, to the rural commune of French subversives on whom she is keeping tabs, and to the listener. Sadie has met her love, Lucien, a young and well-born Parisian, by “cold bump”—making him believe the encounter was accidental. Like everyone Sadie targets, Lucien is useful to her and used by her. Sadie operates by strategy and dissimulation, based on what her “contacts”—shadowy figures in business and government—instruct. First, these contacts want her to incite provocation. Then they want more.

Story
Quando rientra all’alba, esausta dopo notti di bevute e sesso occasionale, Elena Blanco ha un rito: esaminare le immagini di una fotocamera che ha piazzato davanti al portone del suo palazzo. Chi ha paura di vedere? O meglio, chi più di ogni altra persona al mondo vorrebbe vedere? C’è un caso irrisolto nel passato di questa eccezionale ispettrice di polizia. L’unico della sua carriera. È molto più di una delusione, è un profondo trauma che ha sconvolto la sua vita e che continua a perseguitare ogni secondo della sua esistenza.

Un cadavere viene trovato nella valle della Meuse, nel cuore delle Ardenne. Incidente, suicidio o omicidio? La capitana Katel Marelle è esterrefatta quando scopre l’identità della vittima. Renaud Duval aveva... tre vite a settimana? Tre donne aspettano il suo ritorno. Ognuna sostiene di essere il suo unico amore. Insieme cercheranno di svelare l’enigma di un’impossibile triplice vita... Ma, come in un teatro d’illusioni, si aggirano ombre pronte a vendicarsi. Chi sa la verità? Chi dirige il gioco? Chi tira le corde? Diffidate dei fili invisibili.

Por el otro, la investigación policial que los ya conocidos judiciales Sabino y Román realizan sobre los misteriosos crímenes perpetrados en contra de homosexuales, entre quienes se encontrará el hermano de un político importante.

Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon è un minuscolo arcipelago punteggiato di casette colorate al largo della costa del Canada, una sconosciuta appendice di Francia ai confini del mondo che, all'inizio dell'estate, quando i merluzzi attraversano le sue acque, viene inghiottita dalle nebbie. Un luogo ottimo per sondare, sotto i silenzi della neve e il fruscio del vento, le anime degli uomini.
