nouvelles et l'occasion unique de découvrir, grâce à ce florilège, la formidable vitalité d'un genre trop souvent confiné dans ses codes établis. "Noires", ces histoires le sont, sans l'ombre d'un doute, et leur suspense n'a rien à envier aux plus terrifiants des "thrillers". Ici, pourtant, pas de psychopathes cannibales ni de sectes obscures complotant à la destruction du monde, mais des salauds ordinaires, les paumés d'une Italie désemparée, des ordures réalistes et d'autant plus frappantes ! [...] A travers ces "petits crimes" foisonnant d'invention, d'humour à la Dino Risi mais aussi de colère et de rage politique, c'est en réalité un panorama de l'Italie d'aujourd'hui qui nous est offert : corruption, culte de la célébrité, nouveaux racismes, déshérence de la politique, désespoir dune société en mal de repères..." -- 4e de couvFrom a far and lovely country (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency #24)

Mma Ramotswe's attention-and she may need to call in back up. Mma Ramotswe and Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni are enjoying a nice meal out at a periperi restaurant when an American woman named Julia approaches seeking Mma Ramotswe's help. Julia's beloved late grandfather was Botswanan, and he instilled in her an abiding love of his homeland. Now, years after his passing and during a rough patch in her own life, Julia has come to visit the land he had spoken of so often and to find her relatives. Unfortunately, her grandfather's stories, while remarkably charming and entertaining, were somewhat light on detail; all Julia can remember are a few first names and some descriptions of his village. It's not a lot to go on, but if anyone is well poised to help, it's Mma Ramotswe, Botswana's premier detective. Meanwhile, a second case leads Mma Ramotswe to look for assistance from an unexpected quarter. For the first time ever, Charlie leads his own investigation at the detective agency, going undercover into a dubious, word-of-mouth gettogether known as the Cool Singles Evening Club, where married men are encouraged to pretend to be single and meet women under false pretenses. Who could be behind such a distasteful venture? Getting to the bottom of this will be a tall order, to be sure, but Charlie is eager for the opportunity. As Mma Ramotswe learns more about Julia, she begins to understand that Julia's heartbreak runs deeper than she had initially realized. Together, Mma Ramotswe and Mma Potokwane must find a way to help their client heal and move forward-from both her past and her present. Julia had originally come to Botswana seeking family and connection, but in the warm embrace of Mma Ramotswe and Mma Potokwane, what she ends up finding is a homeOmerta: roman
