Pequena biografia
Hi, I'm Cesario Picca, I was born and bred in Salento (South Italy) thanks to my parents Francesco and Antonia. For 25 years I worked as a crime and judicial reporter, now I devote my time to my thrillers and to my character Rosario Saru Santacroce. In 2002 I was awarded the Piero Passetti prize for Reporter of the year. I have been a speaker or moderator at numerous conferences and has participated in many radio and television broadcasts.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
If you`re the lover of Italy and everything Italian, like I am, than this book is quite right for you. When spiced with the crime story, being my favourite kind of literature, you get a nice jigsaw puzzle, with not too many pieces, but resembling a nice picture.

A nice Italian journalist, Rosario Santacroce (nicknamed Saru), write about the murder of a wealthy tourist at the Tremiti Isles. In this thriller you can find suspense, love of good food, love of life with a smile on your face. Because even tragedies and difficulties are best approached with good humor. A sort of ode to life is what Rosario Santacroce offers his readers. The protagonist of this thriller is a forty year old Salento reporter who lives in Bologna and works for a local newspaper. A rough and rational man, talkative, charismatic, ready to savor every moment of life as if it was the last. Nicknamed Saru (the nickname that is given in Salento to those named like him), he covers the city's crime beat. As often happens, occasionally work also follows him on holidays because a real reporter is destined (almost) never to unplug. And that is probably why he gets entangled in the murder of a wealthy tourist from Bologna who like him is on vacation in the Tremiti Islands. The first to rush to the scene of the crime was none other than Saru and for that reason he ends up among the suspects. Journalists of all the national newspapers arrive on the island but Saru always manages to get a bit more news than the others thanks to his friendship with the marshal of the local station who hails from the same part of Italy as him. The story is peppered with amusing expressions in the Salento dialect related to the food, tastes and customs of that part of Italy surrounded by two seas and contains the right mix of eroticism and suspense. The author reveals the often humorous interplay between fellow-journalists, refers to real news stories and packs the investigation with twists right up to the surprise ending.… (mais)
