Un importante direttore di banca scomparso nel nulla. Un plico di documenti che potrebbero mettere in ginocchio perfino il potente IOR. Un killer in cerca di redenzione. Tra vecchi nemici e nuove sfide, la seconda indagine del viceispettore Boavista e del detective Mendes ci accompagna in un intrigante mistero. Uno spaccato della società in cui viviamo che sarà in grado di emozionare anche grazie ai riferimenti sempre più espliciti a quanto di corrotto ci gira intorno.

Un curato e dettagliato romanzo, un giallo graffiante e ingegnoso, ma anche profondo indagatore dell'animo umano. In una società dall'atmosfera sporca e subdola, appena sotto la superficie, sfumature nascoste e intrecci inaspettati agiscono nell'ombra. I protagonisti sono fotografati fin nei minimi dettagli, le loro emozioni scavate e messe a nudo. Una serie di misteriosi e orrendi crimini che mette in moto congetture e sospetti, che presta grande attenzione ai dettagli e che può rivelare volti nascosti a chi bene li osserva.
