Enigma of Room 622 (Joël Dicker)
One night in December a corpse lies on the ground from room 622 of the Palace de Verbier, a luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps. The police investigation will never be completed and the passage of time will make many forget what happened. Years later, the writer Joël Dicker arrives at the same hotel to recover from a sentimental breakup. He does not imagine that he will end up investigating the old crime, and he will not do it alone: Scarlett, the beautiful guest and aspiring novelist from the next room, will accompany him on the search as he also tries to learn the keys to writing a good book.
What happened that night at the Palace de Verbier? It is the big question of this devilish thriller, built with the precision of a Swiss watch. Joël Dicker finally takes us to his native country to narrate a police investigation in which a love triangle, power games, betrayals and envy are mixed in a not so quiet Switzerland, where the truth is very different from anything we have imagined.
The evil of Corcira (Lorenzo Silva)
A middle-aged man appears naked and brutally murdered on a lonely beach in Formentera. According to several testimonies collected by the Civil Guard of the islands, in previous days he had been seen in the company of different young people in gay clubs in Ibiza. It could be one more case for Second Lieutenant Bevilacqua, but he will quickly understand that it is not. When his bosses call him to take over the investigation, they let him know the peculiarity of the deceased: he is a Basque citizen convicted in his day for collaboration with ETA.
To try to clarify his death, after investigating on the ground, he will have to travel with his team to Guipúzcoa, the place of residence of the deceased, and an area that Bevilacqua knows well for his involvement almost thirty years ago in the anti-terrorist fight. There he must overcome the mistrust of the victim's environment and, above all, he will have to deal with his own ghosts from the past, with what he did and what he did not do in a war that he preferred to abandon. Ghosts that will lead you to an uncomfortable question that as a human being and as a criminal investigator does not cease to concern you: to what extent do we become what we fight against?
