  • "Giorgio ha ventidue anni, famiglia di intellettuali borghesi, studente modello, vita normale e un po' noiosa. Senza crepe, in apparenza. Francesco è torbido, misterioso e affascinante. E prestigiatore. E baro. Le loro vite viaggiano separate fino all'incontro che segnerà il destino di entrambi. I due diventano amici e passano da una partita di carte truccata all'altra, da un misfatto all'altro, da un'avventura all'altra in un vortice che è insieme ubriacante avventura picaresca e inarrestabile discesa agli inferi. In parallelo corre il racconto di un'indagine condotta da un tenente dei carabinieri su una serie di misteriose violenze. Una storia struggente sull'amicizia e il tradimento. Un'avventura picaresca in una Bari segreta e allucinata. (Alice)."
