C'è un Cadavere al Bioparco by Walter Veltroni

 C'è un Cadavere al Bioparco

by Walter Veltroni is a new book published by Marsilio. A new investigation for Buonvino, Goodwine in english, the commissioner of police located in Rome. This time we enter in the immense Bioparco of the capital of Italy, for discovering a corpse. Not a corpse killed with a certain decency, if you can pass me this expression, but dilaniated. In what way?

As maybe you'll know, the biggest serpent of this world is the anaconda. 

Good: someone killed the man, for later decapitating him, throwing to the starved and scared anaconda body and head. The anaconda, for sport, this one is a pretty articulated murderer, sadic, had to be fed that days, and, stressed, upset and scared by the various events, for sport ground the corpse, eating also the head, considering that was close to it, for later thinking that maybe it was better to re-vomiting it. Maybe it wasn't too tasty.

The scenario, pretty heavy, interested the commissariato of mr Buonvino. People involved in the crime various ones, because the man killed wasn't a saint: the modality of killing, with the disfiguration of the body, and an unrecognizable head says everything.

I can't tell you more of this story, but I can write several reflections on Buonvino the alter-ego of mr.Veltroni, an italian politician: writer and journalist, he was also the editor of L'Unità. Plenty of tenderness and romanticism in the description of the love-story of Buonvino and Veronica, he donates to this story a touch of very appreciated old-fashioned feelings.

Highly recommended.

I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of the book.
