Commissioner Soneri is anxiously watching the rain fall on Parma when he receives two dramatic bits of news in just a few hours. A mysterious and elegantly dressed young man has hung himself in an old, abandoned hotel. The fancy suitcase found next to the body contains neither money nor documents. As if he decided to leave the world without a trace. With just a few, inconsistent clues, Soneri starts up an investigation, and receives news of another tragic death, the stabbing of Elmo Boselli, a leader of Parma's terrorist group in 1968, an accomplished agitator and impenitent seducer of rich, local heiresses. But maybe his murder has nothing to do with politics. The commissioner starts digging into Boselli's life, which leads him to one of the man's old flames, and the Cinque Terre. Which, oddly enough, is also where the case of the mysterious suicide - a Romanian who belonged to a fascist group of football fans - leads him.
Valerio Varesi (Turin, 1959) began writing for newspapers and magazines in 1985 and also published short stories in collective anthologies. A correspondent from Parma for La Stampa and La Repubblica, in 1987 he began working for the Gazzetta di Parma and in 1990 for the Bologna desk of the La Repubblica. His debut novel, Ultime notizie di una fuga (1998), was a crime story loosely based on true events. In 2000 he published Bersaglio, l'oblio. Together with ten other writers he published Aelia Laelia Crispis, a collection of stories inspired by a mysterious gravestone in Bologna. In 2002 he wrote Il cineclub del mistero, followed by L'Affittacamere, Il Fiume delle nebbie, Le Ombre di Montelupo and A mani vuote. Since 2005, Commissioner Soneri has been played on TV by Luca Barbareschi, in the series Nebbie e Delitti.
