Incluso nella prima selezione del Premio Strega 2023, "Mare mosso" è un noir da ascoltare tutto d’un fiato che si delinea sullo sfondo di un mondo sommerso, le cui profondità celano insidie di ogni tipo... Cagliari, 1981. Al largo delle coste della Sardegna c’è la Izmir, una grande nave cargo battente bandiera turca, che lancia un allarmante SOS. L’ingegnere navale Achille Vitale, che dirige un’intrepida flotta di rimorchiatori per conto di un facoltoso armatore napoletano, si mette subito all’opera: bisogna raggiungere la nave il prima possibile, in modo da salvare l’equipaggio da morte certa.

Un gruppo di pescatori norvegesi con la loro barca si imbatte in una improvvisa e violenta tempesta. La piccola imbarcazione viene sospinta dai flutti delle onde al centro di un immenso vortice perenne presente in quella zona, chiamato maelström. Per i pescatori è impossibile sfuggire a quel fenomeno naturale: una volta che si viene attirati verso il centro, infatti, si apre un abisso a forma di cono, che scaraventa la barca sul fondale con incredibile violenza. I marinai vengono risucchiati dal vortice, ma uno di loro si salva aggrappandosi a un barile vuoto.

We have only explored five percent of the ocean. The ocean takes up 70 percent of our planet's surface. By that logic, we only know about 25 percent or our planet's geography. The sea is like the Earth's lungs, breathing in and out, supplying the Earth with life and balance. We don't know exactly how old the Earth is. We don't know how deep the deepest part of the ocean is. We don't know how vast the universe is.

Fatalitas ! Après s'être emparé du Bayard, bateau-cage à destination du bagne de Cayenne, l'indomptable Chéri-Bibi trouve sur sa route l'individu qu'il hait le plus : le marquis du Touchais, l'homme qui lui a ravi sa belle Cécily. Mais la vengeance se déguste comme la viande... froide.

La suite des aventures de Palas que nous avons laissé dans une fâcheuse situation avec Chéri-Bibi.

Arigonde dit le Parisien, fric-Frac, le Caïd, le Bêcheur, Palas n'a pas pires ennemis à Cayenne et il passerait de mauvais quarts d'heure sans la protection du "dab du Pré", autrement dit le roi du bagne Chéri-Bibi. Celui-ci l'a pris en affection parce qu'il le sait injustement condamné et a décidé de l'aider à s'évader pour qu'il refasse sa vie.

Le commandant du Bayard ne respirera à l'aise qu'une fois à Cayenne, sa cargaison de forçats débarquée, car quelque chose se prépare, il le sent. La mise aux fers de Chéri-Bibi, chef occulte et incontesté des forçats, ne le rassure pas et il a raison: Chéri-Bibi s'évade et s'empare du navire.

Il poursuit son bonhomme de chemin avec une idée fixe en tête. Une idée formidable ! Faire de son fils le maître de la France ! Car il a un fils, ce loqueteux !

Hugh Redvers is supposed to be dead. So the appearance of the sun-bronzed giant with the piratical black eye patch is deeply disturbing to Lady Daphne Davenport. And her instant attraction to the notorious privateer is not only wildly inappropriate for a proper widow but potentially disastrous. Because he is also the man Daphne has secretly cheated of title, lands, and fortune. She could be his salvation. Daphne Redvers's distant, untouchable beauty and eminently touchable body are hard enough to resist.
