A brutal murder sparks an investigation by Inspector Remo Jacobi, a 50-something divorcee with no children who lives with his elderly Romanian father in a rural town. Nowadays, his police resume is full of cases he has deliberately chosen to shelve. But faced with the umpteenth atrocity, Jacobi undertakes a battle with faraway origins: the deserts of Somalia, a war zone ruled by ruthless mercenaries, and Eastern Europe, where other types of violence have destroyed all forms of civility. The clues lead to a closer but no less turbid metropolis, where a woman and a chance for redemption await Jacobi.
Massimo Gardella (Milan, 1973) has translated essays and novels for diverse Italian publishers. In 2009, he published the novel Il Quadrato di Blaum. As a musician, he scored Giorgio Fornoni's documentary Ai confini del mondo. Il male quotidiano is his first novel to feature Inspector Remo Jacobi.
