La foresta del diavolo

by Favaro, Matteo
La foresta del diavolo

In the heart of Transylvania lies the Hoia Forest, a place steeped in mysteries, legends, and inexplicable disappearances. When the body of a young man is discovered in a scene as unsettling as it is ritualistic, the case is assigned to Captain Eva Badea, an experienced profiler transferred from Bucharest after a controversial investigation. Eva is no stranger to the depths of the criminal mind, but this time she faces an enigma intertwining brutality, symbolism, and cryptic messages.

Her investigation leads her through the dark paths of the forest, but also into the political and religious entanglements of a wounded Romania, where the past can become a deadly weapon. Meanwhile, elsewhere in Europe, a woman with a tormented past embarks on a journey to a besieged Kyiv, seeking answers that no one seems willing to give her.

Two distant paths, destined to intersect in a crescendo of tension. Between popular superstitions, religious conflicts, and unspeakable truths, The Devil’s Forest is a powerful and immersive thriller that delves into the darkest corners of the human soul.
