L’enigma di Leonardo [Piemme]
Writer-journalist Claudio Paglieri (Genoa, 1965) has written for Secolo XIX since 1990. In 1989 he published his first two books: Magica Samp and a biography of Agostino Pareto, a Genovese mayor from the Napoleonic age. In 2005 he won the Premio Bancarella Sport for the crime novel Domenica Nera, the first of the Inspector Luciani series. He followed it up with Il vicolo delle cause perse (2007) and La cacciatrice di teste (2010). His previous novels include Non son degno di Tex. Vita, morti e miracoli del mitico ranger (1997) and Mi chiamo Dog, Dylan Dog. Vita e imprese di un playboy fifone (1998). L'enigma di Leonardo is the fourth Inspector Luciani adventure.
In one of the hottest summers of recent years, in Villa Moncalvo, on the Ligurian Riviera, a count grips his most prized possession, a beguiling portrait his father left him. Now that the end is near, the old man, who has no wife or children, is accountable to no one. Perhaps only the treasure he’s been hiding his whole life, which he wants to protect from greedy hands. Like those of Agnese, his Polish caretaker who, in fact, upon his death hastily "cleans" his house, as due compensation for years of toil and dedication. But her deed does not remain unnoticed for long. Summer isn’t being kind to Marco Luciani either. Even though the reason he’s losing sleep isn’t the Genoa police or the heat, but the desperate cries of a new "boss." Alessandro arrived about three months earlier, abandoned in a basket in front of his house in Camogli, and from that moment Luciani’s life has not been the same. But even though he’s been through the wringer, the inspector has not lost his killer instinct. He knows that even in the face of a death by seemingly natural causes, questions need to be asked. Especially when hovering over the case there’s a masterpiece of inestimable value, which has vanished without a trace.
