En esta novela transitaremos por los caminos de la política y el tráfico de influencias, de los mercados financieros y las venas criminales que los alimentan. Entenderemos aquí que los hombres públicos arrastran y esconden pasados tortuosos, que los personeros del Estado y su aparato represivo obran en la sombra más en beneficio del lucro personal que de idearios nacionales. Y confirmaremos que buena parte de esos procesos se desarrollan más allá del escrutinio–tan relativo–que los medios y el ciudadano común realizan sobre la agitación de la vida pública.

Il commissario Mariani ha un omicidio ufficiale di cui occuparsi: un senegalese è stato accoltellato poco lontano da Raibetta, la piccola piazza di Genova. Forse è stato uno spacciatore, forse no.

Nelle giornate di Mariani si intrecciano due indagini in cui nulla, forse, è come appare. Due indagini che lo costringono a fare un bilancio delle proprie scelte.

Человек просыпается неизвестно где — возможно, в больничной палате, но это неточно — и не помнит о себе вообще ничего. "Зовите меня Измаил", — предлагает он врачам, которых, за неимением других версий, нарекает Юрием Живаго и мадам Бовари. Человек мучительно вспоминает, что с ним произошло (какая-то авария? и, кажется, у него была любовь? и вправду ли его следует звать Измаилом?). Он описывает круги подле разгадки, подбираясь к ней все ближе и ближе, — ночным мотыльком, что кружит во тьме и обречен погибнуть в пламени.
