The good of Donato Carrisi He always delights us with hybrids between enigmas and crimes, a kind of mystery genre that ends up breaking like a full-blown noir. The miscegenation is always a success when it is possible to combine the best of each part. And of course, as you become an expert in mixing, as is the case with Carrisi, the closer you get to that excellence that ends up being the best-seller labeling.
On this occasion, all part of the psyche as a labyrinth, with that juicy sensation of narrow corridors and confusing mirrors through which the mind takes us when we succumb to the delirium or trauma of the moment that the author presents us. The background of childhood provides a component of estrangement, of shadows among the natural colors of childhoods assaulted by improper events.
Because everything that happens in childhood, when it should never have happened, remains there like a stain capable of marking everything, destiny and the most sinister drives. The will may want to offer us outlets. And perhaps memory can occupy itself in burying what should not have been. But it is a matter of time before everything comes out ...
Pietro Gerber is a psychologist unlike any other: his specialty is hypnosis and his patients have one thing in common: they are children. Sometimes children who are traumatized or who hide memories that they are unable to evoke. He is the best specialist in Florence and collaborates with the police in criminal cases.
One day he receives a call from an Australian colleague asking for help with a patient, Hanna. The case is interesting, but also very special: Hanna is now an adult and her childhood memory is a murder that she does not know if she committed.
