Il Boia (I fascicoli dimenticati Vol. 3)

The mood of the novel is so tense and visceral — I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or specific crime stories.

The romance added depth but also a layer of vulnerability that contrasted with the darker themes. How did others interpret its role in the story?

Switching between characters kept me guessing, but I wonder if the narrative was planned this way from the start or evolved during writing.
