A SPECIAL CASE FOR THE GHOST WRITER

For Vai, words are important. The way a person chooses or uses them, Vani knows how to read habits, disposition, manias. And he knows how to imitate it. In fact, Vani is a ghostwriter: she fills the blank pages of writers of all kinds with stories, articles, essays that seem to have come out of their pen. An innate ability that has allowed her to establish herself in the publishing world, not without a debt of gratitude to the man who, first, sensed his skill: Enrico Fuschi, his boss. Relations between the two have not always been idyllic, but now Vani, although she would not admit it, is worried about him. Since he missed a very important project he has not come back: he does not answer the phone, does not show up at appointments, no one knows where he is. Henry's gone. Vain knows that he can ask for the help of only one person: Commissioner Berganza. After so many investigations conducted side by side, Vani must admit that she feels increasingly connected to the man who chose her as a police employee for her infallible intuition. Together they set out on the trail of Henry. Tracks that will take them all the way to London, between the timeless pages of Lewis Carroll and Arthur Conan Doyle. Step by step, the two discover that Henry hides secrets that they never imagined and, above all, that he needs their help. And not just him. Vai has in front of him one last case to solve and in his hands, from the nails strictly glazed with purple, the lives of all the people he has learned to love.

Alice Basso has created a fantastic character. An original protagonist that her readers call by name as a friend. A protagonist who lives in the middle of books, from whom she has learned almost everything she knows. Around her, other unforgettable characters to fond of novel after novel. A universe in which to descend to remember that the pleasure of reading is this: a story that enchants and an impeccable style.
