For fans of Daniel Silva and David Baldacci comes a gripping thriller based on real world events that will have you riveted until the final page is turned. When NYPD detectives Paul Rossi and Hamilton P. Turner begin investigating the Sutton Place murder of an Italian air force pilot, the last thing they expect is that they will and find themselves sucked into the potential cover-up of the Ustica massacre, the most horrific aviation crime in Italian history, in which all 81 souls on board perished, where Italian President Francesco Cossiga blamed a missile deployed by the French Navy for the disaster. But as they begin investigating, Rossi, recovering from a broken marriage, and Turner, an African-American opera buff, poet, and former lawyer with ambitions to be mayor, come up against NYPD bureaucratic obstacles and stonewalling by the Italian Consulate in NYC. Lieutenant Laura Muro, the policewoman sister of the victim, comes to New York to aid the investigation, but soon the trio find themselves in the crosshairs of the Gladio, Italy's powerful, shadowy political cabal whose reach extends to the highest reaches of New York political and ruling class. From New York to Italy, Rossi, Turner, and Muro must uncover the shocking truth about one of the most notorious disasters in airline history, and how this infamous act ties to the present-day murder. Riveting, erudite, and surprising at every turn, THE MAN IN MILAN announces a major new voice in international thriller fiction.

      At the start of Racanelli’s entertaining debut, NYPD detectives Paul Rossi and Hamilton Turner examine the body of Gaetano Muro in the gutter of an East Side Manhattan street. The pair initially identify Muro as an Italian diplomat, but an interview with his estranged wife raises questions when she tells them she has no idea where her husband has been living or how he made ends meet. However, she does know that he had been receiving threatening phone calls. The murders of two other people connected to Muro raise the ante. Facing resistance from the NYPD bureaucracy and the Italian consulate in New York City, Rossi and Turner decide to go to Italy in search of answers. The detectives become convinced that the deaths are related to the real-life 1980 Ustica plane disaster, in which 81 people died. Exciting action sequences play out against a travelogue background. The protagonists each have a full complement of vices, virtues, and quirks, which will serve them well in any future adventures. Hopefully, they’ll be back soon. Agent: Priya Doraswamy, Lotus Lane Literary.

      Gal Raver, formerly the lead singer in a popular girl band, returns to Boston to play a memorial benefit concert for Aimee, the group's drummer. While singing the band's breakout song, "Hold Me Down," she sees a face in the audience and falters. The next day, a body is found behind the concert venue: it's TK, Thomas Kennedy, the roadie who had traveled with the band back in the day and who is the man Gal saw in the audience. Gal is helping Aimee's daughter, Camille, sort her mother's things when Camille reports that her father has been arrested for TK's murder and isn't interested in defending himself. Puzzled, Gal begins investigating. Through reminiscences with the remaining members of the band and Gal's own flashbacks, Gal revisits the group's hard, often alcohol- and drug-blurred life on the road. Simon draws on her career as a journalist, in particular her reporting on Boston's music scene in the 1990s, for the setting, concert scenes, and flashbacks, bringing a gritty reality to this dark suspense tale.
