Sweet Life, Sweet Death
1963. The lights of Rome shimmer at the time of La Dolce Vita. Cameras flash between the slick, nervous hands of the paparazzi, scandal is the other name for social life. In the cafes everybody stays up late, the most beautiful dream is the one dreamed together. A German girl is also dreaming: she is twenty-three years old, her name is Greta, and she wants to be an actress. Until, one day in May, she is found stabbed to death in a building near Via Veneto. Beneath the dazzling surface of the capital, in fact, lies the abyss. Marcello Montecchi, 30, a brilliant byline of a prestigious Roman newspaper, knows this well. His editor asked him to follow up the case without knowing that he actually met Greta during fleeting encounters flavored with whiskey and cigarettes. And now he will have to delve into the secret and dark side of that elusive girl.
Through a new and fascinating narrative lens Giancarlo De Cataldo, drawing inspiration from an inextricable cold case that marked the Sixties in Italy, tells us about the obsessions and the mysteries of the eternal city.
