Gianrico Carofiglio and Peter Lohmeyer roam the alleys of Bari at night
Gianrico Carofiglio is considered by some to be Italy’s Ferdinand von Schirach: He was a judge, senator and anti-mafia public prosecutor and his books have sold millions of copies. Carofiglio is a brilliant storyteller and observer, whose texts have always dealt with the relativity of truth or guilt, with the gap between law and justice. He now presents his new crime novel, Horizon of the Night. In it, Elvira Castell admits to having shot dead her twin sister’s toxic partner. The evidence is compelling. But was it cold-blooded murder or self-defense? Attorney Guerrieri knows that the defense’s strategy is crucial. Intent means a life sentence. But as the trial reaches its climax, Guerrieri gradually loses his faith in justice and desperately looks for answers in the nocturnal alleys of Bari. German text: Peter Lohmeyer; host: Paola Barbon
