UN SEGRETO NON È PER SEMPRE

Alice Allevi is back: funnier, clumsier, more intuitive and ironic than ever. The comeback of the pathologist who has seduced thousands of readers, becoming a literary phenomenon.

Alice longs for a romantic week in Paris with her beloved Arthur Malcomess: journalist, globetrotter and son of His Highness, the director of the Institute of Legal Medicine where Alice is specialising. Alice also hopes to get the longed-for job at the Institute thanks to an entrance exam, but she is told the hated Ambra, engaged to Claudio Conforti, in charge of the interns, got the job instead. Alice has many distractions in life: her eccentric Japanese housemate, the long skype calls with Arthur, and most of all her job as a practicing pathologist. She is asked to work on a case of non compos mentis. An old writer, who wrote a bestseller and was then forgotten by both critics and readers, wants to leave all his possessions to a mysterious woman. He hid her name in an acrostic appearing in his will. The writer’s family wants to have him declared non compos mentis. Things get complicated when the old writer is found dead, seemingly a suicide, in his room… Alice’s curiosity has been triggered and she is not going to let go. Her mission is always the same: she has to find out the truth.
