Maxi Nathan Never N. 2
Contatto / Assassinio sul TB 961 / L'uomo virtuale
A mysterious message that comes from the stars and is picked up by the Jack Silver space observatory. From that moment on, Dr. Gilda Zane, astronomer and incurable dreamer, becomes the target of a cruel killer who has no qualms about killing anyone who tries to help her... including Nathan and Branko, who have the task of shedding light on the case. Did aliens really try to contact Earth? On TB 961, a train that connects the town of Laroch with the West City, a team of ruthless killers is on the trail of David Scott, an inconvenient witness who they have the task of silencing forever. The manhunt among the narrow corridors and compartments of the train continues throughout the night and David's only hope of saving his skin is to find the person with whom he had arranged to meet to ask for protection: Nathan Never. Special Agent Alfa finds a truly intricate case in his hands: in an explosive attack against Maximilian Braitenberg, a rich businessman and director of an auction house, an innocent bystander, little Tom Grant, also dies accidentally, whose parents turn to Solomon Darver's agency to identify the person responsible for their son's death. The killer was careful not to leave any traces, but Nathan's investigations can count on an exceptional witness: Braitenberg's virtual conscience...
