Rencor

A rich and powerful university professor dies suddenly: natural causes, the doctor certifies. His daughter, however, doesn't believe it and turns to Penelope Spada, an unlicensed detective with a mystery behind her and a present of silent desperation. The investigation, which at first seems to lead nowhere, becomes a dramatic reckoning with the past, but also a date with destiny and the unexpected possibility of changing it. In the recesses of a narrative that maintains suspense until the last page, Gianrico Carofiglio gives us an adventure starring a woman with an indomitable character, an absolutely unforgettable heroine with epic strokes.
