The Master of Shadows, by Donato Carrisi

A new novel by Donato Carrisi which has a lot of disruption compared to a bibliography of the Italian author that already seemed on track towards the noir genre.

Although the truth is that the same blackness with which a good current thriller can be built, is the one that Carrisi ends up pulling to subject his hometown to the whim of the shadows. A Rome that seemed to await the fateful moment of its blackout like a remote self-fulfilling prophecy, from a vision of Pope Leo X on the brink of death.

At that time, in 1521, any atmospheric phenomenon that led to a sudden darkening of the day pointed to supernatural powers, angry gods, hecatombs ...

Perhaps that is why meeting the claim of a fearful Pope in 2017 is not the most natural thing for Romans in the XNUMXst century. But things just happen until they are redirected towards doom.

And when the electrical system of the entire region must be checked for an unexpected disaster, it seems as if the very hells of hell have been waiting for the moment to take over every corner of the city. A kind of insane telluric power seems to emerge from the catacombs of the old empire.

It is only a matter of time before the electricity returns with its longed-for light. Meanwhile, in the period of twenty-four hours in which it is necessary to maintain the darkness, the old voice of the Pope seems to make all sense. Rome must always stay alight.
