THE SILENCE OF SAPPHIRE: origins and crossroad
In the wild and primordial nature of Madagascar's Isalo National Park, soaked by rain and fragrant with frangipani blossoms, primatologist Dr. Anja Virtanen's research on sifaka lemurs is violently interrupted by the discovery of a murdered colleague, Luc. His death, initially dismissed as a mere accident, is only the tip of an insidious iceberg.
Unable to accept the superficiality of the investigation, Anja launches into an incessant search that leads her to uncover a tentacular web of corruption, an illegal trade in precious stones, and ancient, legendary secrets. Her journey drags her from the vibrant markets of Antananarivo to the treacherous depths of Isalo Park's intricate caves, and even to the heart of Europe and Italy.
Joined by a close-knit and courageous group of international investigators, Anja finds herself confronting treacherous officials, ruthless businessmen, and betrayals from unsuspecting individuals.
Their investigation leads them deeper into a dangerous entanglement of coded messages and veiled threats, revealing the chilling truth: corruption, illegality, and individuals without scruples or conscience are a universal plague, thriving in every corner of the world with different methods, levels, and aims, but with a similar and terrifying predatory nature.
This novel is an impactful denouncement of corruption at every level, an adrenaline-fueled exploration of the tension that accompanies the search for truth, and a tribute to the courage of protagonists determined not to give up. It's a story that shines a spotlight on the indiscriminate exploitation of human and natural resources and the illegality perpetrated with glacial indifference, showing how, everywhere in the world, the fight for justice is a battle without borders.
Aimed at lovers of investigative thrillers and legal dramas, this novel will captivate anyone fascinated by the complex dynamics of power, justice, and the secrets hidden behind the façade of legality.
