Lake crimes 6, collection

The fascinating and enchanting lakes of Northern and Central Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia and Bolivia, with their villages overlooking the placid waters, are the ideal places for the setting of the mysterious events narrated in the new anthology Lake crimes 6, a I invite you to discover these places in the footsteps of the assassins.

The island of San Giulio on Lake Orta is the scene of a mysterious murder set in the XNUMXs; on the lake of Varese, on the other hand, a young woman will die; in Stresa, in the days of the 2021 lockdown, three young people suddenly disappear; on Isola Bella, a concert turns into a tragedy; the discovery of a dead woman who suggests a suicide, on Lake Mergozzo, will open a glimpse into female violence; in Lesa an investigation is made into the disappearance of a man in Thailand and, in another story, a stranger is found dead in an Art Nouveau villa; on the other hand, at Capo San Martino on Lake Lugano, the gloomy atmosphere of those sentenced to death will be relived.

The vacation of two young girls on Lake Orta will be abruptly interrupted, while in Verbania a sax musician with a murky past will find his death. A mystery dating back to 1946 will shake the town of Orta San Giulio; on Lake Como, in the XNUMXs, a theft will turn into a tragedy; on Lake Idro, the commander of the Idra boat will die.

In 1924, in Stresa, the body of a rich foreign tourist was found; on Lake Maggiore a minor story will intertwine with a murder. In Slovenia, the ghost of Tito will return to animate the nights on Lake Bled; a bank manager will perish on Lake Bracciano; in Sesto Calende two barmaids will investigate the disappearance of some young tourists.

Facebook will be the trap for two women on Lake Orta and, in Verbania, a female body will emerge from the waters of the lake.

Finally, on the shores of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, research into the death of a woman will lead to a mystery about disturbing paintings.
