The Evil That People Do

Long ago, Itala Caruso, the police "queen" managing an extensive corruption network, was forced to imprison a man who was falsely accused of abducting and killing three teenage girls. Thirty years later, a new abduction occurs — and the victim, sixteen-year-old Amala, realizes that she is unlikely to escape alive unless she finds a way to flee on her own. However, Amala is being searched for. She is sought by Francesca Cavalcante, her mother's sister, a lawyer who thirty years ago failed to protect an innocent man from prison — and now she suspects that the serial killer who was free back then has resumed his activities. Additionally, Amala is being searched for by someone named Jerry, a dog lover with extensive knowledge in the most unexpected fields, seemingly just an Israeli tourist who rushed to Italy as soon as news broke of the new abduction, and is willing to do anything to save the girl. Even kill.
Sandrone Dazieri is a renowned Italian author of thrillers and noirs, with bestsellers that are successfully published in thirty countries. "The Evil That People Do" is a novel that promises all that we expect from a thriller: terrifying secrets, chases after ghosts, deceptive moves, unforgettable characters — and if we are very lucky, perhaps justice will prevail in the end, although there are certainly no guarantees.
