Un castello sullAppennino emiliano, due docenti, un manipolo di giovani aspiranti traduttori: questi gli ingredienti della prima edizione della Scuola estiva di traduzione a Castello Manservisi, che si e tenuta dal 19 al 21 luglio 2013 a Castelluccio di Porretta Terme. Il progetto, nato da unidea di Anna Rusconi e Gina Maneri, era quello di un seminario residenziale intensivo in cui studenti di traduzione e neolaureati potessero cimentarsi con un testo inedito in Italia sotto la guida di due traduttrici con qualche annetto di esperienza sulle spalle. A conclusione del seminario, una lettura scenica aperta al pubblico con accompagnamento musicale dal vivo e la successiva pubblicazione in ebook. Due gruppi di lavoro, quindi, due autori, due lingue, due continenti. Un minimo comun denominatore: il genere noir nella narrativa breve. Che ciascuno dei due autori, Ian Rankin e Ana Lydia Vega, declina a suo modo: atmosfera tipicamente hard-boiled nella Scozia di Rankin, Caraibi sudati e pervasi da un sottile umorismo nella Portorico di Ana Lydia Vega. Traduzioni di Giorgia Baggiani, Sandra Boca, Irene Bottai, Caterina Cappelli, Chiara Cozzolino, Anna Ferrari, Chiara Lurati, Elizabeth Pain, Jamuna Perez, Alice Rampinelli, Emilia Russo, Marta Scultz, Enrico Spadaro (Ian Rankin, Domenica) Alice Marta Azzolini, Sonia Bellezza Oddon, Chiara Biffi, Francesca Clemente, Mirta Cimmino, Mariagiulia Da Riva, Angelo Di Santo, Sara Fabbro, Giorgia Ielo, Marika Muretta, Katia Pagliaro, Sara Papini, Marta Pedrini, Silvia Pocorobba, Daniela Sala (Ana Lydia Vega, Di cosa muoiono i tassisti) Illustrazioni dei frontespizi di Giorgio Ghisolfi.

It's late autumn in Edinburgh and late autumn in the career of Detective Inspector John Rebus. As he tries to tie up some loose ends before retirement, a murder case intrudes. A dissident Russian poet has been found dead in what looks like a mugging gone wrong. By apparent coincidence, a high-level delegation of Russian businessmen is in town - and everyone is determined that the case should be closed quickly and clinically. But the further they dig, the more Rebus and DS Siobhan Clarke become convinced that they are dealing with something more than a random attack - especially after a particularly nasty second killing. Meanwhile, a brutal and premeditated assault on a local gangster sees Rebus in the frame. Has the Inspector taken a step too far in tying up those loose ends? Only a few days shy of the end to his long, inglorious career, will Rebus even make it that far?

World leaders descend on Scotland for an international conference. During a dinner at Edinburgh Castle, a delegate falls to his death. While authorities attempt to keep the incident quiet, Inspector Rebus has only 72 hours to find the answers.

Hands in his pockets, Rebus turned to face Cafferty. They were old men now, similar builds, similar backgrounds. Sat together in a pub, the casual onlooker might mistake them for pals who'd known one another since school. But their history told a different story. Retirement doesn't suit John Rebus. He wasn't made for hobbies, holidays or home improvements. Being a cop is in his blood. So when DI Siobhan Clarke asks for his help on a case, Rebus doesn't need long to consider his options. Clarke's been investigating the death of a senior lawyer whose body was found along with a threatening note. On the other side of Edinburgh, Big Ger Cafferty - Rebus's long-time nemesis - has received an identical note and a bullet through his window. Now it's up to Clarke and Rebus to connect the dots and stop a killer. Meanwhile, DI Malcolm Fox joins forces with a covert team from Glasgow who are tailing a notorious crime family. There's something they want, and they'll stop at nothing to get it. It's a game of dog eat dog - in the city, as in the wild. EVEN DOGS IN THE WILD brings back Ian Rankin's greatest characters in a story exploring the darkest corners of our instincts and desires.
