The deputy prosecutor Fabio De Falco is again in Palermo and this time he will have to deal with a long series of murders, carried out in similar ways, but whose motive is elusive. Tracing the serial killer will not be easy and a red herring will risk disrupting the entire investigation. But the prosecutor will have to deal once again with the darker part of his soul, with his will to act outside the law to pursue his own interests. Uncovering the truth while keeping others away from his tangle of lies and lies will be more difficult than expected for Fabio De Falco. In this new investigation ‘the despicable’ De Falco will move between anger and sense of guilt, convinced that he can circumvent the law and get away with it once again. He already published with Edizioni Leima his first novel, Soldatini ribelli wich has the same main character.
