"Milan, winter. A petty thief is suspected of suicide by throwing himself under a subway train. It 's a gesture that destroys the peace of Dazieri Sandrone, called the Gorilla, a man who tries to be only an investigator hired by insurance companies and who has given up everything dealing with heinous crimes. He is a professional, sometimes brutal and ruthless, but he managed to build a perfect public life. But hiding something in himself: a madness that you can call the "member", his dual personality at night, violent and hyper-rational. The Gorilla is forced to expose himself again and to expose his partner to find out the reasons for a suicide which he feels responsible for. Why was this man killed? Who was the girl who embraced him and made him happy in the last moments before his death? And what link is there between him and a bloody robbery two years earlier, during which a piece of art by Damien Hirst went missing, a skeleton with an apparently meaningless name: The Beauty Is A Misunderstanding? Beauty is a misunderstanding between a dizzying play of meanings that are hidden from the eyes of those who look at things without passion and without an acute sense of pain that is hidden in the folds of life. And 'the discovery of a forgotten crime, which no one wants to deal with, and its story of the hunt for a brittle girl dressed in black, the depository of a secret that seems to cost the lives of those it touches. In search of an answer to the question, Sadrone Dazieri (the author? The main character? His double?) finds that the truth can be the scary face of a skeleton. With this novel, which sees the return of his alter ego, Dazieri as a crime fiction author reconfirms he's the most original and innovative in our country."--Summary translated from the front cover flap by cataloger.
