Almanacco del Giallo 2004

A marginal world made of petty dealings and small-time crooks, yet no less ruthless for that... this is the world that costs Officer Keller his life, lured under a pretext by the young Alina Rink to a dilapidated building on the Lower East Side. But Alina too dies in the trap for which she served as bait, and Boris Vogel, her man, has disappeared. Did he kill Keller and Alina? Possible, but unconvincing: he loved his young companion and trusted the policeman, who had often helped him in the past. Nick and Marvin are too experienced to follow the most obvious trail, and the facts will prove them right. Behind those murders lies a story of blackmail and criminal interests, in which law and justice are not always on the same side...
