Summary

DESPUÉS DEL COMISARIO MONTALBANO, LLEGA EL COMISARIO VIVACQUA.

Carlo F. De Filippis suma su nombre a la gran novela negra europea con Camilleri, Lemaitre y Dazieri a la cabeza.
 
Salvatore Vivacqua, Totò para los más íntimos, es el jefe de la Brigada de Investigación de la policía de Turín. Siciliano de origen, ama Turín aunque le cuesta lidiar con su impenitente lluvia. No obstante, pronto tendrá razones más serias para preocuparse: Pierluigi Paternostro, un artista de renombre, ha sido ferozmente asesinado. ¿Quién podía odiarlo de esa manera?

Las víctimas comienzan a sucederse, y la presión de los medios y de sus superiores crece: Vivacqua tiene tres días para encontrar al culpable. En su cometido contará con la ayuda del doctor Silvano Meucci, un funcionario fanático de Napoleón que será clave para entender los movimientos del misterioso asesino. Mientras tanto, otro pequeño drama doméstico lo reclama: Tommy, el amado perro de la familia, ha desaparecido.

Con ecos de Camilleri, Fred Vargas y Lemaitre, De Filippis suma su nombre a la gran novela negra europea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

AFTER COMMISSIONER MONTALBANO, COMMISSIONER VIVACQUA ARRIVES.

Carlo F. De Filippis adds his name to the great European crime novel with Camilleri, Lemaitre, and Dazieri at the helm.
 
Salvatore Vivacqua, Totò to his close friends, is the head of the Turin Police Investigation Brigade. Sicilian by origin, he loves Turin although he has trouble dealing with its unrepentant rain. However, he will soon have more serious reasons to worry: Pierluigi Paternostro, a renowned artist, has been savagely murdered. Who could hate him so much?

The victims begin to turn up one after another, and pressure from the media and his superiors grows: Vivacqua has three days to find the culprit. In his role he'll have the help of Dr. Silvano Meucci, an official who's a Napoleon fanatic and who will be key to understanding the movements of the mysterious assassin. Meanwhile, another small domestic drama demands his attention: Tommy, the beloved family dog, has disappeared.

With echoes of Camilleri, Fred Vargas, and Lemaitre, De Filippis adds his name to the great European crime novel.
