Inspector De Luca: Fighting for Truth Amid Madness
In corrupt or brutal regimes, the truth is often a crime. The Inspector De Luca detective novels of Carlo Lucarelli (born in 1960) serve as a reminder of this fact.

Think about the depraved insanity of this: Forty-three United States senators basically told their colleagues, including the former Vice-President, that even though many of them were mere minutes away from a brutal death at the hands of a mob unleashed by Trump, and that he gleefully watched this mob s actions on television instead of sending help to quash it, this does not disqualify or render him unfit to hold future political offices.
