Abstract
There is a little girl who dominates her domestic world like a despotic sovereign: she orders and establishes rules, imposes her will, stretches her legs like a spider at the center of a delicate web. She runs something too big for her. And she gets killed. The adolescence we are talking about today is described as a period of growth, which includes negative and positive emotions. In fact, the author deals with a very delicate topic, namely the balance that divides adults and children. Within this novel we read about a teenager named Maya Musella, a very spoiled and capricious girl, but at the same time beautiful. Behind every beauty, however, there is a grain of evil, in fact she loved to have power not only in the family, but also outside it. Although she was a teenager, the girl had a dark circle under her eyes which eventually led to her death. Since her parents were more than absent, her brother was silenced, unable to be strong and courageous. Indeed, the latter has created a barrier to protect itself from this, namely a world of video games. Beyond this, however, we also hear those who have a great desire and a great will to seek the truth. Here we are talking about an old ex-cop and a woman in crisis. Both tried to find out the truth through a lot of reasoning, testing and much more, to finally find the long-awaited truth. Set in Naples, Spanish neighborhoods, in an apartment building a Maya girl (teenager, uninhibited, and bully,) is found murdered in the bathtub at her home. Investigations begin, led by a skilled retired commissioner, Andrea Martino and his niece Anna, living in the victim’s building. A well-written book manages effortlessly to catapult lightly into the world of some Neapolitan teenagers, who with a few tools have invented a nice game to earn a lot of money. The central theme is the web and its misuse, girls, very young who show themselves without veils, and sometimes sell themselves in exchange for gifts and coins.
