In een afgelegen deel van New Jersey is een ministaat gesticht - een toevluchtsoord voor fanatieke bekeerlingen en fervente gelovigen. Binnen de muren van die afgezonderde gemeenschap worden plannen gesmeed die angst, dood en verderf zullen veroorzaken... Jack Bauer, belast met de oprichting van een CTU-kantoor in New York, bevindt zich in het oog van een orkaan die waarschijnlijk te sterk is om tegen te houden. Maar als dat niet wordt gedaan dan zal Amerika binnen 24 uur op de knieën worden gedwongen door een geheim leger van eigen bodem. Jack Bauer kan niemand vertrouwen, want de wortels van de terreur reiken bijzonder diep... en angstaanjagend hoog.

At a dinner party given by his parents-in-law, Commissario Brunetti meets Franca Marinello, the wife of a prosperous Venetian businessman. He's charmed - perhaps too charmed, suggests his wife Paola - by her love of Virgil and Cicero, but shocked by her appearance. A few days later, Brunetti is visited by Carabinieri Maggior Filippo Guarino from the nearby city of Marghera. As part of a wider investigation into Mafia takeovers of businesses in the region, Guarino wants information about the owner of a trucking company who was found murdered in his office. He believes the man's death is connected to the illegal transportation of refuse - and more sinister material - in his company's trucks. No stranger to mutual suspicion and competition between rival Italian police departments, Brunetti is nevertheless puzzled by the younger man's behaviour. Eventually Guarino agrees to email a photo of his suspect, but by the time the photograph arrives, he himself is dead. Was he killed because he got too close? And how is it that Franca Marinello is involved?

Anna, a newly qualified interior designer, has decided it's time to put her money and her expertise where her mouth is. She's risked everything on buying a tiny but adorable cottage so she can renovate it, sell it on, and prove to her family that she can earn her own living. Outside, the chocolate-box cottage is perfect, but inside all is chaos: with a ladder for a staircase, no downstairs flooring, candles the only form of lighting and a sleeping bag and camping mat for a bed, Anna's soon wondering whether she's bitten off more than she can chew. Her neighbor Chloe comes to the rescue, providing tea, wine and sympathy - and a recently rescued greyhound, Caroline. But just as Anna's starting to believe she's found the perfect idyll, the good-looking yet impossible Rob Hunter arrives on the scene, putting up more obstacles than the Grand National. Can Anna get over all of life's hurdles?
