An anonymous phone call, a disturbing call… A man announces his forthcoming crime and challenges Julia!
 

KILLERS ARE AMONG US! Garden City, as Julia's readers are by now well aware, is a quiet place in appearance only. This is certainly true in the new adventure in which our investigator of the Soul becomes involved, entitled "Nel paese di Alice", where the small city in New Jersey turns out to be not exactly an enchanted microcosm. For in Garden City there's a murderer on the loose, who robs children of their most precious possessions: dreams, trust, the future… life! A dreamlike surreal story - with a script by Giancarlo Berardi and artwork by Giogio Trevisan - in which Julia Kendall, her hand held by the cuddly bear Jiri and the dolly Charlie, ventures into a fantastic world where dolls, garnished with deadly cyanide-laced candy, become instruments of death…In the issue on sale at news-stands in April, on the other hand, a man announces he's about to commit a murder. Nobody knows his real identity, whether he really means it or whether he's just seeking a blaze of publicity. What's certain is that for years this guy has cherished within his bosom the desire to kill, trying not to give in to it; but that damned temptation has always come back to torment him, stronger and fiercer every time. Now his moment has come, the moment he's been waiting for so long, too long. Now he's decided to capitulate, taking the life of his first victim. But for what obscure reason has this potential murderer decided to disclose his secret to Julia? Perhaps, subconsciously, he hopes the criminologist can stop him… Or is it actually Julia who's the object of his homicidal madness?
