El caso Paternostro

Salvatore Vivacqua, Totò for the most intimate, is the head of the Investigation Brigade of the Turin police. Sicilian by origin, he loves Turin although it is difficult for him to deal with its unrepentant rain. However, he will soon have more serious reasons to worry: Pierluigi Paternostro, a renowned artist, has been fiercely murdered. Who could hate him like that? The victims begin to follow each other, and the pressure from the media and his superiors grows: Vivacqua has three days to find the culprit. In his mission, he will have the help of Dr. Silvano Meucci, a Napoleon fanatic official who will be key to understanding the movements of the mysterious murderer. Meanwhile, another little domestic drama claims him: Tommy, the family's beloved dog, has disappeared. With echoes of Camilleri, Fred Vargas and Lemaitre, De Filippis adds his name to the great European crime novel.
