33 Indagini per Sarti Antonio

by Macchiavelli Loriano
33 Indagini per Sarti Antonio

Sarti Antonio, is an honest and tenacious police sergeant. He is an antihero portrayed in all his humanity and has an extraordinary memory. He loves coffee and suffers from chronic colitis. He lives in Bologna, where most of his investigations take place,  to which he is forced to collaborate willy-nilly. To help him solving the cases, there is Rosas “the mole”, who was a member of the leftist extra-parliamentary movement, an eternal university student, with a sharp and discerning intellect.Loriano Macchiavelli has never abandoned his character. He has continued to write stories centered on his Bolognese police sergeant, always up to date with current events. Through these short stories we end up discovering important pieces of the policeman’s past, and some striking parallelisms with our present, when he writes about immigration and black market labour. In fact, the world of Sarti Antonio is a true and faithful copy of ours. In this book readers will find all the investigations published between the mid 70ies through 2008. Readers will learn about the other familiar characters who share the protagonist’s adventures: Felice Cantoni, who drives his car 28; Chief Inspector Raimondi Cesari; the archivist Poli Ugo known as “the Crippled” and “the Blondie”, intimate friend of Sarti Antonio.
