As you know, I live in Italy and we are always hopeful when a new year begins. We experienced pandemic in the last two years, but 2021 left us also good memories and, especially during the summer, we had some good time.
My literary acrivity had an overlift with new books published and national awards. So, let’s hope next year wil be the one, when we’ll forget about pandemic and start to stay all together close, like we used to do before!
In Italy we say “Try to be positive, remaining always “negative” (to pandemic of course!)”
Still difficult days all over the world with pandemic, but let’s think about a better future and let me give you my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
And remember to read as much as you can, because reading and writing are the highest forms of freedom!
The setting of “Denied Crimes In The Sacred Underground” (Ianieri Edizioni):
On the eve of a Christmas in the early Eighties, in Borgo Pio district of Rome, close to the Vatican Walls and their secrets, with the melodies of bagpipers and the scent of roasted chestnuts, the many tourists and the rubbing clothes of the religious walking on the cobblestones. And the ferrous smell of blood that mixes with that of the dampness of an ancient shop of cassocks and sacred objects … it must be read!
Investigating is the team of Commissioner Rosco, a character that readers love more and more, with his Titian red hair and light eyes, beard and mustache of fire, a tall and overweight man, greedy, with diabetes and high blood pressure. His rough nature has made his private life disastrous, but he is too fascinating not to live stories that are sometimes just adventures, described without filters, while he is starting to have a deep feeling for a woman again … but it will be difficult, very difficult to have her.
“Denied Crimes In The Holy Underground” ia part of a trilogy including “Off-hour Crimes” and “Postdated Crimes”. In short, if you want to enter a particular atmosphere, with a three-dimensional character, in which the plots are different from each other, while having in common only the settings in Rome, and its underground world, in the fascinating frame of the Eighties and the evolution of the personal life of Commissioner Rosco, here are the novels that make up the trilogy published in the magnificent graphics by Ianieri Edizioni:
