Overview

An international investigative thriller where history, technology, and deception fuse into a relentless game. If you seek the truth, be ready to doubt it until the last page: nothing is what it seems. Not even a golfer. Deputy Chief Max ""SixtySix"" Colombo - a charismatic figure in the Major Crimes Unit of Varese, a city nestled at the foot of the Northern Italian Alps and known as the city of the seven lakes - is drawn into a case that defies logic. The murder of billionaire art collector Louis Fournier, found at the mystical Sacro Monte, shakes established truths and casts unsettling shadows over institutional credibility. A bronze medallion, an ancient papyrus, a lethal botanical poison, and an impossibly precise micro-engraving link past, present, and future in an intrigue that spans continents and millennia. From Varese as their operational base, Max and his team - the sharp-witted Chiara Galli and medical examiner Aldo Renga, an Egyptology enthusiast - navigate official investigations, covert actions, and discoveries that challenge the boundaries of rationality. Every clue opens a new mystery. Every answer sparks a deeper doubt. From the sarcophagi of Sacro Monte to the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. From ancient Ethiopia to the futuristic skyline of Singapore, passing through Madrid and Milan, the investigation becomes a race against time - and against an adversary with no face. One who is always one step ahead. To stop those who manipulate perception and reality, Max must face the most dangerous challenge: discovering where truth ends and deception begins. A thriller blending investigative realism with international scope, where institutions, technology, and the human mind collide with the fragile boundaries of truth.
