The Fault portrays the ambiguous condition of the Italian nation in the years preceding the global financial crisis. Worrying symptoms are piling, but nobody knows that around the corner the smashing wave of an unpredictable tsunami is mounting. Just a deceptive omen is floating in the air. Meanwhile, the trafficking of immigrants coming from the most disparate parts of the world, a business managed by ruthless organizations, is becoming an epochal phenomenon fueled by the increasing flow of desperate people moving from Africa. In this confused scenario is concealed the relentless engine moving the main character together with the reality around, a sort of malfunctioning, a threatening transmutation of the overall social and economic framework which affects his individual psychology. This is what the word "Fault" in the title is meant to convey: an evil malfunctioning of the individual psychology, as well as a fracture that will separate the present and the future social landscape of an entire nation from what had been before, without possible recovery. Engaging and enigmatic to the end, the Fault is a disorienting puzzle of stark passions and social issues that suddenly turn in crime investigation. But no investigation can enlighten the darkness of love. The Story Did you ever get stuck in an IMPOSSIBLE LOVE AFFAIR? With someone you know you can't trust but want still to believe in? This novel will tell you all about it! Until death will put an abrupt full stop to the passion game. Alessandro is a successful manager crossing his midlife crisis. Displeased by his whole lifestyle, he has resigned from his job and is facing divorce. In a foolish last quest for freedom and love, he puts himself in trouble starting a passion game among dangerous acquaintances and ends up in a deadly trap, when murder breaks on the scene. There are many possible suspects, including Alessandro, and only one single uncertain clue can lead the readers to the final discovery. When the case seems finally solved almost by chance, the ending twists with persisting intrigues and achieves an aura of spiritual mystery, raising many new doubts.
