While chasing down a curfew breaker, Aldo stumbles across a body posed to resemble Jesus on the cross and with its tongue cut in half.

Trying to solve the murders Strocchi and Aldo encounter exorcists and spymasters while Aldo deals with the disquieting possibility that the victims were chosen because they were gay. Another thrilling read. ⬇

rwmg I\'m not sure whether people in those days understood being gay as something they were rather than something they did but that is a minor quibble. Can\'t wait for the next one to be published. 3mo
