«Un noir oscuro y magnético . -Corriere della Sera
Un asesino en serie, detenido por la comisaria Battaglia hace veintisiete años, consigue escapar del módulo de alta seguridad de la cárcel en la que está preso. Sin embargo, tras diez dÃas de fuga, él mismo se vuelve a entregar a la policÃa porque teme ser el blanco de otro peligroso criminal que quiere reproducir los antiguos y macabros escenarios de sus asesinatos. Para desvelar nuevos detalles sobre sus crÃmenes e información sobre su misterioso imitador, solo está dispuesto a hablar con Teresa Battaglia. Teresa debe interpretar las enigmáticas pistas que este deja tras de sà unas refinadas piezas de mosaicos que construye con trozos de huesos humanos, al tiempo que intenta reconectar con la persona que fue hace casi tres décadas, aquella mujer brillante, atrapada en una turbulenta relación conyugal, que se convirtió en una pionera cazadora de asesinos en serie y en la primera especialista en perfiles criminales de la policÃa italiana. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Set in the idyllic mountains of Northern Italy, the latest volume in Ilaria Tuti's gripping series is a tour de force, a poignant and irresistible story about the relentless pull of the past on the present. Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, a trail-blazing criminal detective on the Italian police force, is on sick leave, recovering from her recent brush with death in pursuit of a killer. But none of her colleagues, not even her partner, know: her Alzheimer's is getting worse; and Teresa is unsure she will ever return to work. Teresa's plans for retirement are shelved, however, when she is urgently summoned to meet with menacing serial killer Giacomo Mainardi. Refusing to speak with anyone but Teresa, whose investigative work twenty-seven years prior landed him in maximum security prison, Mainardi has disconcerting news: somebody is after him, and only Teresa holds the key to keeping everyone, including herself, safe. To solve the case, Teresa must come face to face with a history she thought she'd buried, back to when Giacomo first began to kill, and Teresa--newly pregnant and married to an abusive man--did everything she could to catch him.
