As CEO Calla Black by day and the masked dominatrix known only as The Black Dahlia by night, I built a life that kept everyone at a distance. Control kept me safe. Rules kept me steady. And then James Carter Jr. walked into my world with his slow Southern charm and a hunger that matched the darkness I thought I had buried. I could handle him. I convinced myself I could. What I never expected was her.

Tja, da bin ich nun, in einem luxuriösen Penthouse und lerne nach und nach Adrians Rudel kennen. Fünf Betas, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten – und die mein Interesse zugegebenermaßen jeder auf seine eigene Weise wecken. Doch erst gilt es noch, mich mit Adrian irgendwie zu arrangieren. Der Alpha ist zwar bemüht, sich um mich zu kümmern, aber so richtig wohl fühle ich mich trotzdem nicht in seiner Gegenwart.

Mein Aufenthalt in Adrians Penthaus mit seinem Wolfs-Rudel ist vor allem eines: nervenaufreibend. Einerseits fühle ich mich wie Pretty Woman, werde auf Händen getragen und von gleich mehreren Typen verehrt – andererseits merke ich, dass mir die Zeit im Nacken steht sowie ein Canicoren-Alpha, der mich eben dort beißen und markieren möchte. Sofern ich mich denn für ihn als meinen Alpha entscheiden werde. Denn ich bin es, die hier die Regeln aufstellt, nicht Adrian.

Ich, das einfache Hooters Girl, bin mit zwei scharfen Kerlen unterwegs, die sich in riesige Wölfe – oder Canicore, wie sie sich nennen – verwandeln können. Sitze mit ihnen in einem Auto und fahre Richtung Manhattan zu ihrem luxuriösen Penthaus, wo noch vier weitere solche Typen wohnen. Entweder bin ich gerade auf einem Trip, der mich in ein heißes Paralleluniversum befördert hat, oder aber das hier ist der Start in ein äußerst aufregendes Leben.

Il fatto che Agatha Raisin si sia imbattuta in una gamba mozzata farebbe pensare che il caso di cui sta per occuparsi sia particolarmente macabro. Ma le apparenze ingannano, come scopre la stessa Agatha quando viene assunta per indagare su un episodio di spionaggio industriale in una fabbrica in cui tutti, dai fattorini al padrone, sono perlomeno eccentrici. E non fa eccezione la signora Dinwiddy, l’efficentissima e temutissima segretaria… anzi, non faceva eccezione, perché la donna è stata trovata morta nei pressi della stalla di Wizz-Wazz, l’asinella che è la mascotte dell’azienda.

Le campane della chiesa di St Ethelreda sono l'orgoglio dell'idillico villaggio di Thirk Magna, nei Cotswolds. E lo stesso si può dire dei campanari, un gruppetto guidato dalle gemelle Mavis e Millicent Dupin, che da qualche tempo si stanno esercitando per accogliere al meglio il vescovo in vista pastorale. Ma l'ansia gioca brutti scherzi e le gemelle sono così preoccupate che tutto vada per il meglio da costringere i campanari a esercitarsi sino allo sfinimento… al punto che Joseph Kennell, un avvocato in pensione, finisce per gridare loro di avere "voglia di ucciderle".
