THE BOOK: A FLIGHT FOR SARA (ed. Rizzoli)
A small tourist airplane headed to Sardinia crashes in the Tyrrhenian Sea with several people on board. Among them, a well-known entrepreneur who gave his last interview just before take-off, with the voices of the other passengers in the background, all quiet and smiling, unaware of the impending tragedy.
When retired Services agent Andrea Catapano hears the voices of the victims – he who does not see but knows how to listen better than anyone else – a clear memory resurfaces. So he decides to call his former colleague Teresa Pandolfi, now head of the Investigative Unit. The disaster could conceal a mystery that dates back to the Tangentopoli years.
What if the fall of the aircraft was not an accident, but the link between a story of the nineties and our present?
The only one who can discover the truth is the invisible woman, Sara Morozzi. Flanked by Inspector Davide Pardo and Viola, Mora finds herself investigating untouchable public figures, digging into the gears of Italy's power at her own risk, without a parachute.
