Dieci piccoli inquilini

by Baccalario Pierdomenico , Gatti Alessandro , Dalla Fontana Andrea

While the city seems to be plunging into a nightmare of continual blackouts and tremors, a murder takes place in Ash Building, a sinister apartment building on the extreme outskirts of the city. Unusually, the famous detective inspector Julius Asgren – the star of the city police force – is called in to conduct the investigation. But what’s so special about this murder, that it requires the attention of such a renowned police officer? Soon Inspector Asgren, along with the reader, will discover that nothing is normal in this building, starting with the tenants, who are dying like flies. A spiral of death that is turning into the most infernal case of Asgren’s long career.

• An intense and unique atmosphere, making this the first ever noir for kids.

• Illustrations by Dalla Fontana: full of mystery, but also an irresistible streak of black humour.

• Two powerful plot twists that come together in a totally unexpected finale.

Baccalario Pierdomenico , Gatti Alessandro , Dalla Fontana Andrea

Pierdomenico Baccalario, Alessandro Gatti & Andrea Dalla Fontana are three authors from Piedmont who share a passion for good cooking, quality music, the mountains and murder, albeit literary. After numerous books written together, Alessandro and Pierdomenico were dazzled by Andrea’s illustrations, and they wanted them for this novel. Andrea accepted with enthusiasm, greatly complicating the work of the other two. This is their first and last book of the I casi dell’Ispettore Asgren.
