Delitto al buio (Murder in the dark) is the second crime novel by the writer Laura Graziano. The main protagonist is Saverio Grave, a dark and irreverent character who lives as a recluse in his house in Saliceto - a small town in the Piedmontese Langhe – hunted by the ghosts of his mysterious and painful past.
The charming ex-military man with a penchant for solving complicated enigmas is invited to spend the weekend at the majestic villa of Colonel Gustavo Del Venchi, his old friend and ex- comrade. Reticent because of his agoraphobia, he nevertheless decides to accept and sets off with his inscrutable butler Archie in tow.
Suddenly he finds himself caught up in a tragedy that happens in the house and, despite himself, involved in the investigation.
Semi-serious, humorous and at the same time dramatic, it is a detective story capable of arousing the reader's curiosity thanks to its refined, intriguing, ironic and never predictable style.
