Tú eres el mal (Comisario Michele Balistreri #Volumen 1)
by Roberto CostantiniUn homicidio del pasado que jamás fue resuelto. Un asesino que hoy señala a sus víctimas con una sola letra para formar una frase endemoniada. El 11 de julio de 1982, el joven comisario Michele Balistreri está, como Italia entera, pendiente del televisor. La "Squadra Azzurra" juega la final del mundial de fútbol contra Alemania. Por eso cuando recibe el aviso de que Elisa Sordi, a quien él conocía de vista, ha desaparecido se lo toma a la ligera. Un error fatal que no se perdonará jamás. Veinticuatro años después, en 2006, Balistreri es jefe de la Unidad Especial de Extranjería en Roma. Un puesto delicado en un país donde una clase política cínica y la prensa sensacionalista azuzan la xenofobia, y el asesinato de una inmigrante no tiene el mismo valor que el de una chica italiana. Un país donde las decisiones se toman a puerta cerrada, cierta gente y ciertos poderes son intocables, y la justicia pende del hilo de unas pocaspersonas íntegras. Como Balistreri, cuya última investigación le lleva nuevamente al único caso no resuelto de su carrera. Reseñas:«Una compleja trama de crimen, conspiración política y poder, que es a la vez un artefacto altamente emocional.»La Vanguardia «De la mano de Michele Balistreri el lector no sólo avanzará por los senderos del crimen, sino que seguirá también la historia de una Italia convulsa donde la palabra corrupción aparece con más frecuencia de la deseada.»El Mundo «Una historia con mayúsculas, redondita como una cebolla, con muchas capas como esta, en la que es una delicia pasar página y además estar enganchados hasta la última página a un caso que crece, y crece, y crece... Puntuación: 9/10.»Neuronas Asesinas «Cuando uno comienza a leer un thriller cuenta con que éste lo atrape y lo enrede en una madeja de suspense y tensión hasta la última página. Roberto Costantini consigue eso ymucho más con esta novela. Un debut espectacular. Buenos personajes, mucha intriga y un excelente desarrollo. No se la pierdan. Les encantará.»Anika entre Libros «Un apasionante relato de intriga, un inteligente y minucioso rompecabezas que mantiene en tensión al lector hasta los últimos instantes de la novela.»Culturalia «Tras una semana disfrutando de la novela poco a poco, decido una tarde ponerme con las últimas 200 páginas. Casi sin darme cuenta paso tres horas seguidas sentado en el sillón disfrutando de los últimos retazos de Tú eres el mal. Una frase me pasa por la mente al cerrar la última página del libro: Roberto Costantini ha escrito una verdadera obra de arte.»Libros y Literatura «Esta no es otra novela de asesinos en serie. Y no lo es porque los personajes son sorprendentemente... redondos, si es que esa es la palabra. Uno está tan acostumbrado a encontrarse con policías/investigadores/sabelotodo-cazador-de-psicópatas que al final, parece que todos ellos son la misma persona. Pero en esta novela, ese error no ocurre. Parece que el autor se ha tomado tan a pecho diseñar los personajes (el asesino y su némesis), como trazar un hilo argumental sólido, que mantenga todo el miedo, la tensión y el suspense desde el inicio al final. Costantini está a la altura de los grandes maestros del thriller, demostrando que conoce la mente humana tan bien como el mejor Katzenbach, y eso es un seguro.»Los Libros de Mi Vida
