We know Valerio Varesi’s love for Parma, the Po, its mists and its mysteries. Unconditional, this attachment is not exclusive. The mountain, “his mountain”, seems to nurture an equally deep bond with him. After The Shadows of Montelupo dedicated to his father and published in 2018 in French, his new thriller, God’s hand, takes us once once more to the Apennines. In the company, as it should be, of the sympathetic commissioner Soneri.
