Books, Manuscripts
In March 2016, in an apartment on the outskirts of Rome, two 'ordinary' young men brutally tortured and murdered 22-year-old Luca Varani. News of the seemingly inexplicable crime sent shockwaves across Rome and beyond. After the crime comes to light, Lagioia begins investigating the crime by meeting with the victim's family and corresponding with one of the killers. It soon becomes clear, however, that to investigate this crime means to descend into the darkest corners of Rome and of the human psyche.
