Il gioco della salamandra
by Longo DavideOlivo Depero, sixteen years old, has been jumping from one community to another since he lost his parents in a terrible accident. He loves books, hates misspelled subjunctives, always wears the same clothes and says no more than six hundred words a day, the bare minimum needed to communicate with the world. Even if the world has no secrets, for Olivo, who with his extraordinary intelligence memorises, deduces, intuits, sees things that no one else sees. It is because of his gift that a desperate police commissioner thinks he is the last chance to find four missing teenagers. A case in which there is something strange that Olivo cannot understand. Exactly how he likes it.
