Ancora un’altra

Victim number eight is found like all of the others before her: carefully made up, dressed up and neatly laid on her bed. No signs of door break-ins or violence. Again, the victim is an elderly woman. Ancora un’altra is a detective novel set in Genoa and follows in parallel the investigations of the inspector Elena Masala and the moves of the social and health worker Giulia Santelmi, engaged in a lethal and psychotic mission: to stop her patients’ suffering, forever. But no crime is perfect and to complicate Giulia’s plans, there are those of her brother, addicted to gambling and overwhelmed by debts. With Ancora un’altra Sabrina Mills also lets us enter the personal story of the inspector, a transgender woman in love with her job and her husband, struggling with the custody of a young girl who is victim of family violence. The author intertwines, with ease and elegance, the different points of view and stories of the characters, blending the personal into the political and mixing suspense with burning social issues.
