La serie di racconti brevi gialli Dritto al punto, Chase! consta di una serie di storie brevi di giallo e suspense che coinvolgono episodi di stra-ordinaria criminalità nella ridente cittadina di Tursenia, in centro Italia. Chase si è trasferito lì per dimenticare il suo passato burrascoso a Londra. Eppure, il suo fiuto investigativo non lo abbandona, e lui non resiste dal ficcanasare. La formula di questa collana di racconti brevi polizieschi è stata particolarmente vincente nel mercato internazionale (qui ci sono i libri in inglese): tutti i racconti gialli constano di mille parole al massimo, per cui queste storie brevi di giallo e suspense sono perfette da leggere tra due libri più lunghi, mentre si è sul tram o semplicemente per spezzare il ritmo del solito tran tran di letture. Credo che questa sia stata una delle ragioni per cui tutti i libri della collana Dritto al Punto, Chase! hanno raggiunto la TOP 100 su Amazon negli Stati Uniti, Inghilterra e Australia e considerati tra i libri gialli più letti nelle categorie di Mystery and Suspense.
