Giorgio Scerbanenco Venere Privata Novel
«Duca Lamberti is an atypical investigator, disenchanted and angry, immersed in the crowd and in his city, among mafias, seducers, hypocrisies of all kinds and sizes. Scerbanenco in Lamberti's novels, his aggressive and not at all politically correct alter ego, perhaps can finally bring to light the reason why he too, like his character, cannot sleep. " (From the preface by Cecilia Scerbanenco)
You learn a lot in three years in prison spent collecting the stories of the innocence of your cellmates, all Abel killed by Cain and all Adam corrupted by Eve. Duke Lamberti - a former doctor convicted of helping an elderly patient to die - in prison he learned to listen, and not to talk too much. This is why a wealthy entrepreneur, Pietro Auseri, chose him for a task that is particularly close to his heart: to save his son Davide from a sudden depression drowned in alcohol. Perhaps to redeem his life dedicated to others, or perhaps just out of curiosity, Lamberti agrees to take care of the young Auseri, becoming familiar with him until he unearths the secret that threw him into the dark. It is a story that leads to the little-traveled streets of the outskirts of Milan, where the fog keeps the secrets of lovers and criminals who share the night, up to the body of a young girl who was looking for a better life and has met her death. The only clues, a roll of hot photographs and a combative woman, Livia, who applies the categorical imperatives of philosophy to reality.
In a sprawling and seductive city like the sinful souls who live there, Duca Lamberti has begun to investigate.
"Like all things I don't like, I want to do them right away."
