Un nuovo caso per la dog-sitter detective Gwinny Tuffel Per le indagini ci vuole fiuto L’attrice Gwinny Tuffel si sta preparando per il suo primo ruolo dopo un decennio di inattività, ma nel frattempo continua a lavorare come dog- sitter. Quindi, quando la vecchia gloria del rock Crash Double le chiede aiuto con il suo vivace border collie Ace, coglie al volo l’occasione. Dopotutto, prendersi cura del delizioso Ace sulla casa galleggiante di Crash a Little Venice non dovrebbe essere un compito oneroso. Almeno fino a quando nel canale non viene rinvenuto il cadavere del cantante, durante i festeggiamenti annuali del Canal Carnival. Mentre la polizia considera la morte di Clash un incidente, Gwinny ritiene che si tratti di omicidio. Con una rocambolesca pletora di sospetti e alcuni moventi inverosimili tra cui districarsi, ci penserà Gwinny, con l’aiuto di Ace, a impedire che l’assassino la faccia franca. Quando un mistero chiama, Gwinny risponde. Oramai ci ha preso gusto a indagare, sempre con il prezioso aiuto dei suoi amici scodinzolanti. «Una delizia per gli amanti dei cani.» S.J. Bennett «Il cozy crime nella sua forma migliore.» Tom Mead «Sono stato molto felice di incontrare Gwinny, il suo amico detective, Ronnie e Ace (la componente canina).

40 years have passed since the release of PIECE OF MIND. More than an album, it was a thunderous statement of intent by a band whose meteoric rise from the East End of London would propel them to the world stage, thrusting them into the realms of legend. This commemorative tome, containing comics, art, and remembrances from acclaimed writers, artists, musicians and storytellers, is a powerful celebration of the unparalleled vision which inspired them -- the living legend that is IRON MAIDEN.

Il matrimonio dell’amica Tina con il facoltoso imprenditore Remington De Lucia offre a Gwinny la possibilità di prendersi una pausa dai problemi finanziari e rilassarsi in una stupenda villa.

Forte della sua passione per i puzzle e decisa a dimostrare l’innocenza dell’amica, Gwinny comincia a indagare tra i vari invitati riuniti nella dimora di campagna. E non sarà sola: a farle compagnia e ad aiutarla nelle indagini ci saranno anche Fede e Spera, i due cani saluki che Tina ha ricevuto in regalo dalla futura cognata e di cui, adesso, Gwinny deve prendersi cura... Venite a conoscere la nuova Miss Marple e i suoi adorabili levrieri «Una lussuosa dimora di campagna, un cadavere in biblioteca, una lunga lista di possibil sospettati e un’investigatrice amante dei cani...

Berlim, outubro de 1989. O muro que dividiu a Alemanha está prestes a cair, feito uma peça de dominó que acabará derrubando também a União Soviética e a impenetrável Cortina de Ferro. A Guerra Fria parece chegar ao fim, mas o assassinato de um agente secreto inglês do MI6 com informações inestimáveis — uma lista que contém os nomes de todos os espiões que atuam em Berlim — deixa claro que os dois lados ainda têm muito o que esconder, como até hoje. Mas, junto ao corpo, não se encontra lista alguma.É nesse momento sombrio que entra em cena Lorraine Broughton, a veterana espiã fria e calculista vivida por Charlize Theron nos cinemas. E tudo começou nas páginas de ATÔMICA: A CIDADE MAIS FRIA, graphic novel escrita por Antony Johnston e ilustrada por Sam Hart que a DarkSide® Books está publicando no Brasil.ATÔMICA: A CIDADE MAIS FRIA é uma HQ com os melhores ingredientes de uma boa história de espionagem: ritmo tenso e uma trama que pode mudar a cada momento — no underground de Berlim Oriental, nada é exatamente o que parece —, e inclui um levante popular, contra-espionagem, deserções que dão errado e assassinatos secretos. E o resultado foi tão bem recebido que Atômica já chegou ganhando o prêmio de melhor graphic novel pela Comixology, no ano em que foi publicada.Como um segredo precioso demais para ser mantido, ATÔMICA acabou parando nas mãos de Charlize Theron. Em pouco tempo, a atriz vencedora do Oscar comprou os direitos da graphic novel para adaptá-la junto com o diretor David Leitch (John Wick — De Volta ao Jogo, Deadpool 2).O filme aborda a história de Antony Johnston com uma pegada diferente, incluindo doses extras de pancadaria e sexo. Quem sai ganhando é o público, que pode combinar duas narrativas que partem do mesmo ponto mas não se repetem. Ao contrário, se completam numa experiência inesquecível.O destaque da graphic novel é o estilo sofisticado que os autores imprimem à história. Antony Johnston é o autor da premiada série de HQs Wasteland, roteirista do game Dead Space e escreveu para personagens como Wolverine e Demolidor. A arte é de Sam Hart, ilustrador inglês que mora no Brasil e tem no currículo quadrinhos como Juiz Dredd e Tropas Estelares.ATÔMICA é para ler nos quadrinhos. ATÔMICA é para ver no cinema. ATÔMICA é para se perder nos becos escuros de uma Berlim que não se encontra nos livros de História. Mais um lançamento da coleção DarkSide® Graphic Novel, com o que há de melhor no lado mais dark dos quadrinhos. Em capa dura, claro, à prova de balas da KGB e do serviço secreto alemão.
