Il delitto della Madonna di Fossalto THE FOSSALTO MURDER MYSTERY (Newton Compton, 2024)
1500 copies sold
A small town in the Lower Po Valley is the setting of a string of misdemeanors: Lambrusco, the village drunk and ex-partisan, ends up with his head smashed; his old friend Arturo Bonomi (mustachioed and bittersweet marshal of the Carabinieri) and Alessandro Peruzzi (perfectionist coroner) are investigating the case, helped by a hotchpotch of officers and passerbys, some hopelessly clumsy, others more smart. The story, set in the 1960s, unfolds between memories of World War II and the memory of a vanished peasant world all under the gaze of a small statue of the Madonna near which Lambrusco’s lifeless body was found. Reconstructing the story of his life and of their friendship, Bonomi recalls invading troops and alleged allies going treasure hunting during the War. Was Lambrusco killed for that phantom treasure? Or is there some other secret in his life that no one knows about? The solution will come only by listening to the stories of the inhabitants of that small town, made up of thugs and informers which (according to their beliefs) swear against God or become newborn Catholics; former fascists and communists, con men, fickle former partisans prisoners of war, bullies, busybodies and teachers. As it has always been, all over the world.

E MAN WHO WAS KILLED TWICE Il caso dell’uomo che fu ucciso due volte – Newton Compton Editori (Newton Compton, 2025)
After the success of his previous book, a new installment of the Arturo Bonomi series.
Fabio Mazza broke hearts and destroyed marriages, and now his body lies lifeless in the town square. He was struck twice by two different hands, but which one inflicted the fatal wound? It’s up to Marshal Arturo Bonomi to find out. A mysterious murder has taken place in a small village in the Bassa region, shrouded in fog. The victim is Fabio Mazza, the local heartthrob. There are many suspects: indifferent as he was to whether his conquests were married or not, the deceased had made many enemies, and the condition of the body found in the middle of the square certainly does not help. Fabio Mazza has two fatal wounds, as if he had been killed twice: with a gunshot and by having his throat cut. Marshal Arturo Bonomi, aided by the ineffable Dr. Peruzzi, Boris the innkeeper, and the rest of his group of friends, is forced to delve into the secrets and vices of his fellow villagers, discovering a world of burning jealousy and hidden passions, loves that begin and loves that end, femmes fatales, and dissatisfied wives… But which one of them is the real murderer?
