Una mutevole verità

A good investigator needs to be able to construct a story, imagining what happened before and after the crime, just like in a novel. Once the story is in place, he needs to go out and look for what bears it out or else contradicts it. Or so believes Marshal Pietro Fenoglio of the Carabinieri, a northerner from Piedmont relocated in Bari, who finds himself investigating a murder case which seems utterly straightforward, from the very start. Except that the main suspect, whom all the clues point to, doesn't the slightest motive for committing the crime.

Gianrico Carofiglio (1961, Bari) made his novel-writing debut in 2002 with Involuntary Witness, the first in a series of novels featuring the lawyer Guido Guerrieri. In 2004 Involuntary Witness and A Walk in the Dark became two television movies. Carofiglio's other fiction and non-fiction works include the novels The Past is a Foreign Country (2005 Bancarella Prize), made into the 2008 film of the same name by Daniele Vicari; and The Silence of the Wave (2011), which made the 2012 Strega Prize shortlist.
