About this ebook
In this compelling psychological thriller, battered corpses of three young students are found between Tower Bridge, Borough Market and the Shakespeare Globe Theatre, warning a London already struggling with a fear of terrorist attacks. Investigation is entrusted to the promising Italian-British detective of Scotland Yard, Sonny D'Amato, who must stop the serial killer before the list of the dead gets longer. Clues lead to investigating old cases of child abuse that may have triggered a weak, suffering mind.
Sonny D'Amato will most likely get the promotion that he feels deserving, but without being able to rejoice. In fact, his soul will be hostage to the pain that extends plentifully from this sad and infamous inquiry that will make him lose sight of the difference between the victim and the executioner. Because, as Alexander Solgenitsin wrote, "the line separating good from evil crosses the heart of everyone".

Questo è il primo giallo della serie dei gialli del cronista salentino Saru Santacroce. Al momento vi fanno parte Gioco mortale - delitto nel mondo della trasgressione, Il dio danzante - delitto nel Salento, Vite spezzate ambientato a Londra e dedicato alle vittime di abusi, L'intrigo - guanti puri e senza macchia, Il filo rosso - delitto sui colli.C’è molto di Cesario Picca in Saru Santacroce. Stessa età, stesse origini, stesso modo di vivere vita e lavoro. Laureato in Economia all’Università di Lecce, Cesario Picca si è trasferito a Bologna per lavoro. Si è occupato per molti anni di cronaca nera e giudiziaria lavorando per il quotidiano L’Informazione-Il Domani e collaborando con l’agenzia Adn Kronos.Nel 2002 è stato insignito del premio 'Cronista dell’anno Piero Passetti' grazie a un’inchiesta giornalistica.Cesario Picca was born and bred in Salento, in South Italy. For 25 years he worked as a crime and judicial reporter so it was very simple start writing thrillers. In his books, like Broken Lives and Murder in the Tremiti Isles, there are many real stories crossed with fantasy.He has already published (2005) the juridical essay Senza bavaglio – l’evoluzione del concetto di libertà di stampa (Ungagged - the developing concept of freedom of the press).His love for thrillers blossomed with Murder in the Tremiti Isles where the main character, the reporter from Salento, Rosario Saru Santacroce, is involved in a femicide. But you can find Saru Santacroce in thrillers Gioco mortale - delitto nel mondo della trasgressione, Il dio danzante - delitto nel Salento, Broken Lives, a psychological thriller set in London, dedicated to victims of abuse and inspired by Criminal Minds, Il filo rosso - delitto sui colli, the esoteric L'intrigo - guanti puri e senza macchia.The main character of his thrillers is a rough and rational man, talkative, charismatic, ready to savor every moment of life as if it was the last. Nicknamed Saru (the nickname that is given in Salento to those named like him), the reporter Rosario Santacroce covers the city's crime beat. As often happens, occasionally work also follows him on holidays because a real reporter is destined (almost) never to unplug. And that is probably why he gets entangled in murders.Maybe, between Saru Santacroce and Cesario Picca there are many points in common; they love life and they think life is a gift. They love footing and untill now they have run lots of marathons. A good way, in their opinion, to relax and feel good.In 2002 Cesario Picca was awarded the Piero Passetti prize for 'Reporter of the year'. He is a speaker or moderator at numerous conferences and participates in many radio and television broadcasts.
