The Predatory Beast

The book is based on real documented stories. The author is a captain of the Italian police—he removed only some details to make it more like the truth. So much reality is scarier than any fiction… My name is Sabina Mondello, I’m a police officer. And I’ve just arrested the most important man in my life—the one who explained to me that love is simply a six-letter word…

In one of Rome’s prestigious neighborhoods, something happens that the police at first takes for murder and suicide: a husband and wife are found in their own bed—he with a pistol in his hand. It looks as if the man shot himself in the mouth, and the bullet passed straight through and hit the sleeping wife. For Sabina, a young commissioner of the Roman police, everything seems quite obvious—except that in the apartment there are no phone of the deceased and no shell casing from the patron.

However, during the investigation a mysterious person is discovered—someone with whom both victims had been in contact on the day of the death. Sabina quickly becomes subject to his powerful charisma, stunning magnetism, and brilliant mind. She still doesn’t know that soon she will have to seek his help—and break the law herself…
