But, as Nic Costa and his colleagues attempt to guard the precious collection of historic artifacts attached to the event, the premiere is disrupted by tragedy and a horrific murder.

Before Costa and crew have the chance to find out they are removed from the inquiry and find themselves sidelined by the Carabinieri. But when the movie premiere shifts to California and the iconic surroundings of the Marina in San Francisco, Nic Costa's inspector, Leo Falcone, manages to bring them along to work on the investigation from the sidelines.

Wolves in Chic Clothing: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min
In The Right Address, Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman seared through the upper crust of New York’s glitterati with wicked glee. In their delicious new novel, Wolves in Chic Clothing, they train their merciless spotlight on the young princes and princesses poised to inherit Park Avenue. Julia, a hip, downtown salesgirl at Pelham’s jewelry store, finds her social life turned on its head when she is asked to deliver a necklace to the store’s young heiress, Lell Pelham, on Lell’s wedding day. Beguiled by Julia’s earnest cluelessness and her vintage-chic vibe, Lell and her gang adopt Julia, and “Eliza Doolittle” her into passing as the heiress to a family fortune, just for a laugh. Dazed by the whirlwind of trust funds, pedigrees, Cosmopolitans, and penthouses in her new world, Julia is unprepared for the ardent advances of Lell’s husband - or the vicious claws her new “friends” develop when they decide Julia is an ingrate, and demote her from society goddess to penniless cling-on with one well-timed editorial. Suddenly, she must return the borrowed couture clothes and try to remember who she was before the body snatching took place. Hilarious and completely addictive, Wolves in Chic Clothing is a modern-day rags-to-riches-and-back-again fairy tale that will leave fans stamping their Manolo Blahniks for more. ungekürzt.

Entertaining Disasters: A Novel (With Recipes) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min
In print, the unnamed freelance food writer of Nancy Spiller’s sardonic debut novel, Entertaining Disasters, lives high on the food chain in the heady realm of L.A.’s culinary journalism scene. She waxes poetic about her hip home gatherings, while thinly veiling the identities of her A-list glitterati guests. But in reality, she's been inventing the dinner parties she writes about because social paralysis sets in at the very thought of a real guest in her fabulous - or is it shabby? - hillside home. Enter the glossy food magazine editor, new in town, who wants an invitation to one of her bashes, and the panic-stricken journey from fantasy hostess to reality bites is on.Entertaining Disasters at turns whimsical and deeply affecting, chronicles the struggle she faces in the week before she hosts her first real dinner party in a decade. At the same time, her estranged sister threatens to drop by, her husband takes off, and her house implodes.In the way of Nora Ephron’s Heartburn, Spiller’s book is filled with fascinating culinary lore, (mostly) delicious recipes, generous servings of humor and heartbreak, and infused with longing for a culinary salvation. What the critics say: "...offers sharp, startling observations in a unique and very human voice." (Elle Magazine, a Readers' Prize Pick 2009) Redbook Recommend: "This Zany novel (with recipes)...will make you appreciate your own fallen souffles all that much more." Los Angeles Magazine: "Nancy Spiller's novel offers memoir's most potent pairing: the child's eye, sensual and vindictive, with the grown-up's aching heart...it's a testament to Spiller's skill as a narrator that tragedy and comedy begin to seem like a natural couple and that feeding a gathering of friends is the ultimate modern ordeal." ungekürzt.
