In this mesmerizing new novel from bestselling author Lisa Black, the discovery of a young man’s corpse leads forensics expert Maggie Gardiner and Cleveland detective Jack Renner into a dark and dangerous web of lies . . .  Life and death have brought Maggie Gardiner full circle, back to the Erie Street Cemetery where she first entered Jack Renner’s orbit. Eight months ago, she learned what Jack would do in the name of justice. More unsettling still, she discovered how far she would go to cover his tracks. Now a young man sprawls atop a snowy grave, his heart shredded by a single wound. A key card in the victim’s wallet leads to the local university’s student housing—and to a grieving girlfriend with an unsettling agenda.   Maggie’s struggle to appease her conscience is complicated by her ex-husband, Rick, who’s convinced that Jack is connected to a series of vigilante killings. Also a homicide detective, Rick investigates what seems like a routine overdose on Cleveland’s West Side; but here, too, the appearance belies a deeper truth.   Rick’s case and Jack’s merge onto the trail of a shadowy, pill-pushing physician who is everywhere and nowhere at once, while Maggie and Jack uncover a massive financial shakedown hiding in plain sight. And when Rick’s bloody fingerprint is found at another murder scene, Maggie’s world comes undone in a violent, irreversible torrent of events . . .

British journalist Robert Lovelace travels to California to report on the social media giant Global Village. He's horrified by what he finds: a company–guided by the ruthless vision of its founder, Evan Bone–that seems to be making journalism itself redundant. Appalled, he decides to abandon the project and return home.
But as he leaves he has a disconcerting encounter that sends him off in a totally different direction. Soon he finds himself embarked on an increasingly fraught and dangerous mission. The aim: to uncover the murky truth about Evan Bone's past and his pathological disregard for the human cost of the behemoth he has created.
Robert's quest takes him from San Francisco to a small college town in the Midwest, to the site of a former hippie commune in northern California, introducing us to a range of vivid characters, and confronting us with the price we pay–online trolling; the loss of privacy; professional ruin–for living in an «interconnected» world. Finally, he makes a startling discovery–and is thrown into a completely unforeseen existential dilemma.
A timely, stylishly written, and brilliantly conceived metaphysical thriller, Coyote Fork carries us on an unforgettable journey, before bringing us face to face with the darkness at the heart of Silicon Valley itself.

Augusto De Angelis (1888–1944) è stato uno scrittore e giornalista italiano, attivo soprattutto durante gli anni del fascismo. Nel 1930 pubblicò il suo primo romanzo Robin agente segreto, fortemente ispirato a L'agente segreto (1907), romanzo di Joseph Conrad, mentre il suo primo romanzo giallo fu Il banchiere assassinato (1935). Nella sua breve carriera scrisse romanzi polizieschi, nella maggior parte dei quali è protagonista il commissario De Vincenzi, capo della squadra mobile di Milano (cui la Rai ha dedicato, con il titolo di Il commissario De Vincenzi, fra il 1974 e il 1977, due serie televisive con Paolo Stoppa nei panni dell'investigatore), un personaggio arguto ma molto umano, attraverso il quale l'autore si svincolò presto dai cliché dell'investigatore di stampo anglosassone, creando una sorta di Commissario Maigret italiano ante litteram. Nonostante il buon successo dei suoi romanzi, tuttavia, De Angelis non poté goderne a lungo: la censura del regime fascista infatti impose il sequestro del romanzi noir nonché la chiusura della famosa collana dei gialli Mondadori, sia perché vedeva con sospetto il genere letterario noir cosiddetto d'élite, considerato come un prodotto della cultura anglo-sassone, sia perché, per motivi propagandistici e di ordine pubblico, tendeva a far scomparire il crimine dalle cronache e dalla letteratura. A causa dei suoi articoli pubblicati sulla «Gazzetta del Popolo», scritti dal 25 luglio all'8 settembre 1943, fu arrestato con l'accusa di antifascismo e successivamente trasferito nel carcere di Como. Uscì di prigione nel 1944 dopo aver scontato diversi mesi di detenzione, estremamente provato e debilitato dalla prigionia, tornò a Bellagio sul lago di Como dove risiedeva. ma ebbe la sfortuna d'incontrarsi con un «repubblichino» della zona, che per una banale discussione, lo aggredì con pugni e calci, tanto da causarne la morte, avvenuta pochi giorni dopo per le conseguenze del pestaggio.

Antonia was last seen in Regent's Park walking her Jack Russell terrier. The remains of a female body have been recovered from Regent's Canal, and both her husband and his best friend are suspects in what increasingly appears to be a murder. The fast-moving story travels backwards in time. Exploration of the mystery of Antonia's fate follows twists and turns as hair-raising as the roads on the mountainous isle of Capri. Jane Huxley, detective of the human psyche, ushers readers to the astonishing ending, proving along the way that the deepest mystery of all is that of the soul torn between desire and loyalty. Jane Huxley once again shines a light on what one reviewer of her previous work called «the pampered indolence of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and the Damned». She keeps up a brisk pace, both in the elegant prose and the suspense instilled from the opening pages, affording readers a voyeuristic thrill along with keen psychological insight.
