We are experiencing a great inexhaustible boom in the crime novel. Maybe the boom starts with Stieg Larsson, but the point is that now all the countries of Europe, whether from the north or the south, are presenting their reference authors. In Italy we have, for example, the veteran Andrea Camilleri, Luca D'andrea or to this other author to whom I entrust myself today, Donato Carrisi, as three of the most prominent of the black genre.
In this book, The girl in the mist, the noir genre almost borders on the thriller. Avechot is a sunken town in a valley in the Alps, a space rightly determined to tune in to that feeling of a certain orographic claustrophobia where the mists remain hooked for days and days.
At the entrance of that town a car suffers a slight accident. He drives off the road and comes to a halt in the ditch. At the wheel is Special Agent Vogel. Completely disoriented, he can't quite guess what he is doing there. He should be a long way from that place, on the trail of a missing girl case ...
Still in a state of shock, without knowing if because of the blow or God knows why, he begins to remember that case in which he had been working for a couple of months. He only hoped to once again count on his instinct to once again fill himself with glory in front of the media and the press. As always happened.
And yet now he is completely lost in that strange place, bumpy, without any injuries, although with suspicious blood stains on his clothes. The dark and dense space seems to be strangely variegated on his figure. And then the media arrives. Vogel does not know what they do there or what will happen from then on:
