Gianrico Carofiglio Brings 'Der Horizont der Nacht' to Mord Am Hellweg Crime Festival

Italian author and former judge Gianrico Carofiglio will present his latest novel, 'Der Horizont der Nacht,' at the Mord Am Hellweg crime festival. The book features Avvocato Guerrieri, a defense lawyer representing Elvira Castell, who has confessed to murdering her twin sister's partner. Guerrieri constructs a self-defense argument, but as the trial progresses, he questions his own manipulation of facts to win the case. Carofiglio, a former Italian judge and prosecutor, explores themes of justice, truth, and conscience. The festival appearances include a reading in Bonn with Denis Scheck. Events are scheduled for September 26 at Mord Am Hellweg/Förderturm Bönen and September 27 at Rheinhotel Dreesen in Bonn. Carofiglio's work delves into how legal strategies can distort reality, and the protagonist ultimately seeks a modest new beginning. The novel is published in German, and the author's background lends authenticity to the courtroom drama.
