Accompanying him is his young boyfriend Matteo Maltempo, who in the Itria valley runs an illegal trade in alcohol under the cover of a spiritual community. After that meeting, threre is no sign of Colucci lost, while Maltempo was found dead, killed in a violent and barbaric manner, as if it were a ritual murder. Carlo Mazzacani is in Sardinia staying with his “colleague” Luigi Mascio, far away, but at the news of Elia\’s disappearance and the subsequent chaos that broke out in Taranto and Valle d\’Itria he decides to return: Elia is a friend. While camorristi and \’ndranghetisti try to divide the Valle d\’Itria and the prosecutor Buonamica collaborates with her colleague of Catanzaro to come to the head of the murderer of Maltempo, Mazzacani sets out on the trail of Elia\’s enemies, determined to find him before them and before the police. But something in what he discovers does not convince him, the key to solving this case is in the community with which Maltempo did business and in his spiritual guide, a mysterious old lady named Alina Desiati, whose past is anything but clear. Following in the footsteps of Alina and the past of Maltempo, Mazzacani will arrive in Belgium, where Colucci has bartered the life of his lover with the sweet death – euthanasia – in a specialized clinic. Among traditions, change of alliances and a truth that is never definitive, Mazzacani will find Elia in a last moving meeting. With Nobody kills Death Leonardo Palmisano gives us the second adventure of the most unfair, most sought after and most loyal bandit in Italian literature. A thriller about love and friendship.
