Sonny D'Amato will most likely get the promotion that he feels deserving, but without being able to rejoice. In fact, his soul will be hostage to the pain that extends plentifully from this sad and infamous inquiry that will make him lose sight of the difference between the victim and the executioner. Because, as Alexander Solgenitsin wrote, "the line separating good from evil crosses the heart of everyone".
I'm Cesario Picca, I was born and bred in Salento (South Italy) thanks to my parents Francesco and Antonia. For 25 years I worked as a crime and judicial reporter, now I devote my time to my thrillers. I have already published (2005) the juridical essay Ungagged - the developing concept of freedom of the press. My love for thrillers blossomed with Murder in the Tremiti Isles (She, the other and death…) in which the main character is a reporter from Salento, Rosario Saru Santacroce, who is involved in a femicide. But you can find Saru Santacroce in the thrillers Gioco mortale - delitto nel mondo della trasgressione (Because transgress also means dying…), Il dio danzante - delitto nel Salento (It is hard to deal with our own certainties…), L'intrigo - guanti puri e senza macchia and Broken Lives (The monsters from the past destroy the future…), a psychological thriller set in London, dedicated to victims of abuse and inspired by Criminal Minds. In 2002 I was awarded the Piero Passetti prize for Chronicler of the year. I’m a speaker or moderator at numerous conferences and participate in many radio and television broadcasts.
