Out of Season Audiobook Summary

A clever, engaging new novel from bestselling Italian author, Antonio Manzini, following the dashing deputy police chief, Rocco Schiavone, who confronts his most riveting case ever.

It’s the bitterly cold spring season in alpine Aosta, and a girl has been kidnapped. Chiara Berguet, daughter of the owners of a local construction firm, was targeted thanks to the sizeable debt her parents owe. But like many a best-laid plan, a blown tire causes the crime to go haywire as the kidnappers’ van skids off the road and crashes into a pair of larch trees. Both the driver and his accomplice die on impact, leaving the girl in the back, gagged and bound and unable to break herself free.

Meanwhile Rocco Schiavone wakes to find himself in Anna’s apartment. She’s the best friend of his girlfriend Nora, and memories of the night before, a heated evening with Anna, return to him. As he sneaks out, he sees the first few snowstorm clouds of the spring season move across the sky, an ominous reference that something is off.

If trouble at home and a case of kidnapping weren’t enough, Rocco will eventually have to contend with Enzo Baiocchi. Rocco was the one who sent Enzo to prison, and in the process killed Enzo’s brother. Having just escaped from prison, Enzo is heading north with a newly purchased revolver and, clearly, revenge on his mind. And when an unfortunate incident of mistaken identity makes Enzo’s act of revenge even more fiendish, it also presents a gruesome scene for Rocco to discover on his return home.

A medida que avanza la serie, las tramas van siendo mucho más elaboradas. En esta ocasión, el autor añade una nota de tensión al ir realizando pequeños incisos dentro de la investigación, donde nos irá relatando los momentos de angustia por los que está pasando la joven secuestrada.Schiavone seguirá destrozando clarks y negándose a comprar un calzado en condiciones para el tiempo de Aosta y a su equipo de confianza se le une un nuevo miembro: Antonio Scipioni.Mientras, D´Intino y Deruta siguen haciendo de las suyas, lo que contribuirá a dar una nota de humor dentro de la trama. Aunque la investigación quedará cerrada, a diferencia de las anteriores entregas, nos encontraremos con un final abierto, que dará lugar a la próxima aventura del subjefe Shiavone.

Me encanta el personaje de Rocco Schiavone, su personalidad, su desfachatez, su forma de ser tan cínica, su comentarios mordaces y sarcásticos, sencillamente lo disfruto como una niña y me hace soltar mis buenas carcajadas, por supuesto que sus colaboradores le ayudan muchísimo a que saque esa vena sarcástica, se burle de ellos e incluso se las haga pasar canutas.De los tres libros publicados de esta serie, hasta el momento, este es el que mas me ha gustado, no solo porque a estas alturas conocemos a todos los personajes y por lo tanto es mas fácil reírse de ellos también, si no porque el caso presentado es mas complejo, muchísimo mas complicado y resulta en un caso que me mantuvo en vilo hasta el final.Estos libros se pueden leer de manera independiente, pero en definitiva yo recomiendo leerlos en orden, porque que de esa manera se conocen los antecedentes de la vida de Rocco y se comprende la razón de su forma de ser, un buen policía, excelente investigador, pero corrupto cuando puede, se echa su "oración laica de la mañana" que no es otra cosa que fumarse un porro para despejarse, me parto con este personaje, es eso, todo un personaje.Se los recomiendo muchísimo, en novela policíaca, de los que mas disfruto, además el estilo narrativo es fabuloso, se lee fácil, se disfruta muchísimo

los libros de esta saga van poniéndose cada vez mejor... aun y sólo parezcan sencillos casos policiales, me están gustando muchísimo. en este tercer libro, vemos a schiavone con la investigación de desaparición de una joven, mientras cada vez se van desatando cuestiones más personales y nos vamos internando en la personalidad del subjefe romano. En cada libro lo vamos viendo a mayor profundidad y conociendo esos miedos, situaciones y fantasmas que lleva que te hacen entender por qué Roco es como es. al final del libro vemos a un comisario atormentado por la culpa tras venirse un acontecimiento bastante inesperado que nos deja la puerta abierta y una incógnita a resolver después de que se haya resuelto el caso de ese entonces. no adelanto más para que el que se aventure a leerlos lo descubra. Pronto empezando el cuarto libro de esta serie.

Il terzo capitolo della saga di Rocco Schiavone conferma la qualita' dell'autore. La trama di per se' non e' originalissima ma proprio per questo, sia il livello di scrittura, sia la gestione delle situazioni, risaltano maggiormente. Un buon libro giallo.

Me ha gustado mucho este libro, es el tercero de la serie subjefe Rocco. Es un libro que desde el inicio sabe mantenerte alerta, quieres seguir leyendo, saber más cosas y con sorpresas hasta el final de la lectura. El desenlace me ha parecido bastante acertado, hay a la vez una trama secundaria a la principal de este libro, pero no por ello menos importante, que se queda sin resolver, con lo cual me ha dejado con ganas de continuar ya con el cuarto libro.La forma de narrar permite una lectura fácil, llega a cualquier tipo de lector. Los personajes: El protagonista, el subjefe Rocco, cada nuevo libro me va resultando más humano, menos arisco, y se nota que empieza a estar a gusto en su destino en Aosta. A la vez lo presenta como no del todo honrado en su trabajo te da que pensar sobre el tema de la corrupción policial. Los otros personajes y los sigue describiendo en la misma línea que las dos anteriores entregas, unos compañeros ineptos molestos a los que quiere entretener para alejar y que no estorben en la investigación y, otros compañeros realmente eficientes.Muy recomendable.Leído en noviembre 2018.

Il meccanismo è quello giusto, e al terzo episodio non ci si stanca, tutt'altro. Manzini, con il vicequestore Schiavone ha costruito un personaggio leggermente fuori dagli schemi, per linguaggio, per abitudini, per vizi, per amicizie… senza però ricorrere alle solite banalità. Lettura scorrevole e gradevole, fra l'altro - in quest'ultimo episodio - con un finale che lascia spazio ad un seguito quanto mai atteso e necessario. Un protagonista politically uncorrect ma simpatico, credibile e coerente. Meglio di molti altri colleghi buonisti o comunque più scontati e gratuiti

Cosa non è questo libro?Letto tutto d'un fiato, le vicende di Rocco Schiavone ti prendono in una morsa e non ti lasciano fino alla fine; e che fine! Lascia presagire che ancora molto deve accadere a questo vicequestore burbero, fuori dagli schemi e con un carattere come pochi, l'uomo che ricorda così gli occhi della moglie:"Gli occhi di Marina, mi ci sono perso la prima volta e non ho più trovato l'uscita..."Ancora una volta Antonio Manzini ha fatto centro nel mio cuore di lettrice mai sazia.

Sigo con el modo Schiavone activado. Estoy disfrutando esta serie y su peculiar protagonista. Este dejó algún cabo suelto, pero me gustó igual que los anteriores. Vamos pal' 4to.

C'est le second roman d'Antonio Manzini que je lis. Je suis contente de retrouver Rocco Schiavone et toute son équipe (de bras cassés ou presque). J'apprécie les sagas pour ce type de retrouvailles. C'est agréable de "revoir" des connaissances dans un cadre déjà un peu familier. Certains protagonistes de cet opus (mais comme pour le précédent) paraissent trop caricaturaux pour être crédibles, mais n'oublions pas que la réalité dépasse assez souvent la fiction. Si, regardez bien autour de vous. L'enquête se déroule en quelques jours. Les mauvaises langues diront que c'est trop rapide, mais c'est oublier que les affaires criminelles se résolvent effectivement soit très rapidement, soit au contraire après des mois, voir des années. L'intrigue est assez classique, mais cela fonctionne. C'est bien le principal. On a notre lot de mauvaise foi, de sarcasmes, de bêtises, d'exaspération, de traits de génie, de vannes, de tacles mérités, de bassesse, de petits et gros malheurs du quotidien, de la vie tout simplement. Une dernière chose, j'aime beaucoup le style de l'auteur (triste réalité et réalité burlesque qu'il arrive à faire passer si facilement), mais surtout les petites références qu'il glisse ici ou là (la série Chips par exemple, mais aussi bien d'autres pépites que je vous laisserai trouver). Hâte de lire la suite des aventures (des emmer...bip aurait plutôt dit Rocco) de notre sous-préfet chouchou.

Questa volta all'indagine di Schiavone, Manzini ha affiancato i pensieri di Chiara, la ragazza rapita, che fanno comprendere al lettore prima che al vicequestore e alla sua squadra chi sia il responsabile del sequestro, o, se non altro, chi siano stati gli esecutori. E si soffre con Chiara, perché si teme che la polizia non faccia in tempo a ritrovarla ancora viva.Ma neanche si chiude un caso che se ne apre un altro, che colpisce Rocco personalmente, riempiendolo di sensi di colpa. Il caso che verrà risolto nel prossimo romanzo, Era di maggio, che, a questo punto, non vedo l'ora di leggere.
