The Sancasciano family was exterminated in Collegno, in the province of Turin, without an apparent motive. Inspector Milani is called in to investigate the crime because the gruesome and complex crime scene is an exact copy of the murder that exterminated his family 20 years earlier. Is it the same killer or an even more terrible secret?
To find out, he will have to confront his past with unacceptable secrets, sudden deaths and unexplained findings. He will follow the case under the command of Chief Constable Maurizio Levante, who knows much more than he says, with the collaboration of Commissioner Licia Rinaldi, his old and troubled love, and the handsome Detective William Rossi, with his murky and terrible past. A difficult collaboration, given the Inspector's temperament.

Il giustiziere del caos è una trilogia dalle sfumature intense, colpi di scena e segreti che si combineranno perfettamente le une agli altri con uno schema preciso ed evolutivo, composto da incastri entusiasmanti.

Collegno, province of Turin. The investigations of Chief Constable Maurizio Levante's team continue. After the discovery of the horrors in the attic of number 104 Via Amedeo Duca d'Aosta, the Prosecution decided to reopen the file on the Milani crime. 

The Sancasciano case is bringing to light surprising truths and, above all, unexpected revelations. In the second volume of the trilogy ‘The Avanger of Chaos’, the deeper one goes, the more baffling secrets rise to the surface. Betrayal, passion and revenge will be the incentives that lead to extraordinary clues, renewed hopes and exhausting lies. But one encounter will change everything. Nico will come face to face with the executioner of the Collegno massacre and the knowledge of the identity of this criminal will be heartbreaking, more so than the hell he already knew.

In this novel: betrayal, passion and revenge will be the incentives leading to extraordinary clues, renewed hopes and tired lies. Old flames and new love will follow a stolen kiss (or maybe two) and an unplanned hospitalisation. 
And more: a secret underground passageway, a hidden compartment containing past memories, some mysterious letters, a family photograph, an ossuary and two bunkers, the discovery of the skeleton of an unknown infant, the exhumation of the remains of a tormented child, a bride who was not meant to be a mother. Finally: two dying officers and an encounter that will change everything. Nico will come face to face with the avenger of the Collegno massacre and the knowledge of this criminal's identity will be heartbreaking, more so than the Hell he already knew.

Third volume in the trilogy of ‘The Avager of Chaos’ where the investigations of the Levante team come to an end with the extraordinary realisation of what happened. There are no rules this time. There are no ethical laws or compromises to submit to. Five investigators, four reasons not to give up, three open cases, two men out of action, a new element in the team. In fact, two. Two expected deaths and one, not so much, sudden one. A traitor and a judicial psychiatric hospital. An epilogue not at all predictable, which you will read in one breath. All questions will be answered. All circles will be closed. All but one. A new Chief Constable for the City of Collegno will carry on the last chapter in a Prequel, subsequent to this one, with noir notes.

I am ready. I hope you are, too.
Dakota Williams.

Author's Note: the novel can be read in two different ways. You will understand this by reading Chapter Zero.

English Edition.
Avarice and Grace is a romantic novel set in Tuscany at the turn of the 20th century. Written in poetic prose with noir undertones, it recounts the love story between a young Italian heiress and a sensitive English nobleman, sent to Tuscany on behalf of King George V. The Marchesa Vittoria Gherardini has closed her heart to all men, wounded by her former fiancé, Duke Hansel Strozzi, who grew weary of her ways and succumbed to the relentless interference of his sister Adelaide, who harbors an intense disdain for Vittoria. Lord Dartmouth, the young Englishman, after one too many refusals from Vittoria, resolves to leave on business and let fate chart their future. The steadfast support of Count Leopoldo Pitti Metz, Dartmouth’s cousin and Vittoria’s devoted friend, helps draw them closer despite the endless schemes of Duchess Adelaide Strozzi, consumed by an obsession with the financial advantages of her own possible union with the English nobleman. The Marchesa and the Lord navigate fraught circumstances, encounters, and revelations that allow each to glimpse the other's true heart, until destiny forces them to face a harrowing and fateful event. Vittoria must then decide whether to follow her feelings or heed reason. Life has more bitter surprises in store, as the First World War looms on the horizon. Through their correspondence, they share their innermost fears and hopes. Will Lord Dartmouth win the heart of the young Marchesa? Will Hansel relinquish his claim on Vittoria? Will Adelaide achieve her diabolical ambitions? Will the dashing Englishman return to his beloved Tuscany? Perhaps this time, the expected happy ending should not be taken for granted.

The secrets of the ancient monastery of Valle Christi are about to be revealed. Beatrice, a cloistered nun of the order of the Poor Clares, is kidnapped and imprisoned in an underground bunker by a criminal with paraphilic deviancies. But he is not the only one the young woman will have to defend herself against. Treasons, lies, murder, violence and abuse will drag her before a destiny from which she cannot escape.
Faith, often, is the only thing one has to defend oneself against.

RECOMMENDED READING FOR AN ADULT AUDIENCE.
READING STRONGLY DISCOURAGED FOR PSYCHOLOGICALLY FRAGILE AUDIENCES OR THOSE WITH SPECIFIC MENTAL ILLNESSES.

Author’s note: «It is recommended reading for an adult audience. BEATRIX is a horror novel, with erotic and blasphemous overtones. Those who do not accept or reject the freedom of writing, those who reject the freedom of thought of the characters, those who are part of obsessive fanaticism of any kind (including extremist fanaticism) are requested, really, not to read this novel. To those who will feel affected, hurt, outraged by what is written in the work, I apologise. But freedom, in whatever form, is the only right that this life has not taken from us, and as such, I will never stop applying it in my works. Those who do not want to read, do not read. Those who do not want to open their minds, remain prisoners of their own dark world. I believe that, at the end of the day, the judgement of these people is not that important. Nor should it be for anyone. Dakota»

Dakota Williams is the pseudonym of an Italian author. Her writing style, unusual and particularly descriptive, combines shades of noir, thriller, horror, historical and sentimental genres that make her one of the few hard-boiled and exploitation authors in Italy. She writes crime novels, but her character is constantly changing, with challenges of intense character. 

Growing, in the psychological sense, does not mean becoming perfect or infallible. Rather, it means learning to know oneself, accepting one's vulnerabilities, developing awareness and building a more authentic relationship with one's inner world. Personal growth, from this point of view, is not a destination to be reached but an ongoing process. A journey made up of uncertainties and small steps. A trip that must be experienced through relationships and in spite of challenges and changes.
