In December 1820, at twenty-one years old, Edward Geoffrey Stanley, the future 14th earl of Derby and three-times prime minister, began an extensive tour of continental Europe. By the time of his return to England twenty months later, he had visited many of the foremost centres for art and culture in Europe, and mostly in Italy.

Dalle gesta di Graziano Mesina al rapimento del piccolo Farouk Kassam, dal sequestro di Fabrizio De André e Dori Ghezzi al caso Soffiantini Che sia stato dettato da motivi politici o da volgare sete di denaro, il rapimento ha tristemente accompagnato la storia criminale della Sardegna fino ad assurgere al rango di “specialità isolana”. Con passione e competenza, Giovanni Ricci passa in rassegna la lunga lista dei sequestri di persona perpetrati in Sardegna dal 1875 fino ai giorni nostri, seguendo l’esportazione del modus operandi dei rapitori sardi in continente e dando corpo a una narrazione in cui la cronaca giudiziaria si fa storia vissuta e analisi sociale.
