DARKNESS WITHIN Antonio Lanzetta
Damiano Valente is The Jackal, a writer whose greatest talent is to turn heinous crimes into very successful novels. Nevertheless, when the corpse of a girl is found hanging from the branches of an old willow, Damiano simply cannot turn that homicide into a great novel. That is because 31 years earlier, in 1985, when Damiano was just a kid, his close friend Claudia had been murdered in the same way. Antonio Lanzetta tells this story drawing on pure emotions, outlining his own land with the typical furious love of those who know it well, not censoring anything and without recurring to trite stereotypes.
