In Mesiopolis, an imaginary city in a somewhat old-fashioned universe where the internet does not exist and technology is partly modern and partly retro, Inspector Karl is dealing with a murder case that seems very easy to solve. At least, that is the opinion of his superior, Gorghi. However, Karl-though so weary that he hopes to wrap up the investigation quickly in order to go on vacation with his wife Gina-senses that in this apparently simple case, something does not quite add up.
Roberto Barreca, musician, philosopher, psychologist, and psychotherapist, was born in Milan in 1971. An avid reader of Borges, Kafka, and Proust, but also of action, spy, and adventure novels from the Anglo-Saxon tradition, he conveys in his brilliant literary style a taste for the fantastic, with a nostalgic gaze at the atmosphere of the 1990s.
