4.0

Romanzo breve, o meglio, racconto lungo in cui, per la prima volta si parla esplicitamente di mafia, in cui il muro di omertà crolla sotto i colpi di un poliziotto venuto dal nord in Sicilia, per cercare di debellare questa piaga terribile.
La vicenda si apre con un omicidio, avvenuto davanti a diverse persone, ma nessuno ha visto nulla, nemmeno il morto cadere a terra. Piano piano, colpo dopo colpo, scoperta dopo scoperta, Bellodi riesce a risolvere un'intricata trama di delitti e favori.

Spoiler

Ma la vera denuncia non è che la mafia esiste. La vera denuncia è che la mafia non esiste, che è tutta un'invenzione. Dopo tutto il lavoro svolto da Bellodi, arriva un colpo di spugna a cancellare tutto. Non è stata la mafia. La mafia non esiste.
