Un giorno al Biondo e a Quello con la cravatta capita un incarico che richiede un salto di qualità: l'obiettivo è un arcimilionario, un esponente dell'altissima finanza che vive in una favolosa non-zona sospesa tra Londra e Milano. Incassato l'anticipo, però, piovono le complicazioni, in un ottovolante di equivoci, colpi di scena, incidenti, avventure e sconvolgimenti vertiginosamente intrecciati, in ambienti esclusivi ed extra lusso dove si mischiano fondi di investimento e realtà inconfessabili.

Pompiety: A Dialogue of the Damned is a satirical graveyard exchange between contemporaries, Mark Twain and Friedrich Nietzsche, resurrected for one last reckoning on progress, piety, and the fate of a bruised planet.

For decades, CeCe and Diane ruled New York's elite—frenemies locked in a glitzy battle for social supremacy. Then the FBI showed up. Their husbands vanished with millions in stolen money, leaving the queens of couture with nothing. No assets. No homes. Not even a yacht to fight over.

Wentworth thinks he’s in luck but makes a series of progressively worse decisions and soon finds himself on the run from a gang of criminal reprobates.

Then, one day in geometry class, he forgets how to breathe.
