Summary

• "Alice Allevi, giovane specializzanda in medicina legale, ha ormai imparato a resistere a tutto. O quasi a tutto. Da brava allieva, resiste alle pressioni dei superiori, che le hanno affidato la supervisione di una specializzanda... proprio a lei, che fatica a supervisionare se stessa! E lo dimostra anche la sua tortuosa vita sentimentale. Alice, infatti, soffre ancora della sindrome da cuore in sospeso che la tiene in bilico tra due uomini tanto affascinanti quanto agli opposti: Arthur, diventato "l'innominabile" dopo troppe sofferenze, e Claudio, il medico legale più rampante dell'istituto, bello e incorreggibile, autentico diavolo tentatore. E infine, Alice resiste, o ci prova, all'istinto di lanciarsi in fantasiose teorie investigative ogni volta che, in segreto, collabora alle indagini del commissario Calligaris. Il quale invece dimostra di nutrire in lei più fiducia di quanta ne abbia Alice stessa. Ma è difficile far fronte a tutto questo insieme quando, nell'estate più rovente da quando vive a Roma, Alice incappa in un caso che minaccia di coinvolgerla fin troppo. Il ritrovamento dello scheletro di un giovane attore teatrale, che si credeva fosse scomparso anni prima e che invece è stato ucciso, è solo il primo atto di un'indagine intricata e complessa. Alice dovrà fare così i conti con una galleria di personaggi che, all'apparenza limpidi e sinceri, dietro le quinte nascondono segreti inconfessabili."--publisher's or bookseller's website.
• "Alice Allevi, a young woman majoring in forensic medicine, has now learned to resist anything. Or almost everything. Like a good student, she resists pressure of her superiors, who have trusted her with the supervision of an intern... just her, which is struggling to supervise herself! And it also shows her tortuous love life. Alice, in fact, is still suffering from a the syndrome that keeps her hovering between two men as fascinating as opposites: Arthur became "the unmentionable" after too much suffering, and Claudio, the coroner, most rampant of the institute, nice and incorrigible, with real tempter. And finally, Alice resists or tries to resist, the urge to launch into fanciful theories and investigation into secret collaboration in the investigation of the Commissioner Calligaris. Instead, this proves to feed her more confidence than Alice has. But it's hard to cope with all this together when, in the summer, hotter since she lives in Rome, Alice stumbles into a case that threatens to involve her too. The discovery of the skeleton of a young actor, who was believed to have died years earlier, instead he was killed, is only the first act of a survey that is intricate and complex. Alice must deal with a gallery of characters who seem clear and sincere, but actually hide shameful secrets."--cataloger's translation of publisher's or bookseller's website.
