From the unpredictable author of The Theology of the Wild Boar, a new mystery set in the mythical Sardinian village of Telévras. A strange car accident, an unthinkable suicide, a wheeler-dealer accountant are just some of the elements that bring us back to Telévras, one of the poorest territories on the planet. Tourists don’t arrive there. Something must be invented to ensure that the depopulation and demographic decline stop. It is a contemporary Telévras, but the inhabitants, their behaviors and their aspirations do not seem to adapt to the times. A gallery of new characters, from Donamìnu Stracciu, a “stateless and apocryphal” poet, to the professional catechist Titina Inganìa, to Michelangelo Ambéssi, the man for whom everything taller than 1.60 meters is to be regarded with suspicion: they are some of the protagonists of this story that seems to go almost unnoticed even in the local news. But, on a cold winter morning, Inspector Marzio Boccinu, currently on leave from the police force, arrives in the village and will find himself entangled in a plot in which reality, as always, will surpass every fantasy?
