Anime trasparenti

Daniele Bresciani’s piercing pen inks an enthrallingly skilled police inspector with a captivating human side. A nature lover, he is not afraid to put himself on the line as he moves through a Milan that is keener on the dark suburban shadows than the limelight of the skyline.

Inspector Miranda knows that rules are made to be broken – so he refuses to comply when he is told to file three cases without investigating them. They couldn’t be more diverse: the hit-and-run death of a woman with no convictions, the body of a prostitute and the murder of a petty crook. Miranda knows from sheer experience that there’s always an invisible thread binding everything. This time, though, he’s holding something back – even from himself. Something very personal is driving him to investigate further and rack his brains like never before: he actually knew Gloria, the hit-and-run victim. In fact, he had an affair with her. They were so close that he covered up an illegal – but humanitarian – activity of hers. For years, Gloria had been running the House of a Hundred Children, a free kindergarten for the children of families forced to live in the shadows, without a residence permit; the children of parents exploited for humble, often back-breaking jobs. It was a safe haven in an often unwelcoming city. Miranda has to figure out what happened. It can’t have been a freak accident. As winter closes its icy grip on Milan, the inspector conducts an unofficial investigation, far beyond the limits imposed by regulations. Miranda doesn’t mind bending the law – he gave up his career to defend his ideals against everything and everyone. What he doesn’t know is that he’s about to lift the lid on a veritable Pandora’s box and release a slew of dark and disturbing scenarios that are going to be a huge challenge even for someone like him and his seemingly unbreakable armour.
