Lives in Smoke unfolds like a long story, hard and subtle at the same time, a jigsaw thriller that was able to earn 6th place for the 2013 Best Thriller Award, City of Cattolica.

Enrica Aragona—previously published by us in the collection I Racconti del Laboratorio—and Luca Ducceschi, author of Un'anima devono prenderla comunque, published in the fourth installment of Knife magazine—combine their literary talents in crafting a dark story that won't fail to amaze even those with finer tastes.

Inspector Moretti, while investigating a homicide, comes face to face with a series of clues that lead inexorably to people in his private life. But the pieces of the mosaic are not all in the proper order, and that which at a certain point presents itself as a terrible insight, will be only the prelude to a more bitter and disturbing truth.
