2021brossura Tutto ha inizio una sera di prima estate di molti anni fa in una galleria artificiale lunga quasi otto chilometri. Quindici anni prima, durante lo scavo, i minatori incontrano un grande vuoto, una grande grotta. Nel 1988 alcuni speleologi decidono di esplorare l'antro e, misteriosamente, uno di loro svanisce nel nulla. La vicenda resta confinata a lungo in un alone misterioso, ma in seguito la caparbia determinazione di alcune persone svela, almeno in parte l'incredibile enigma. Fatti agghiaccianti si susseguono, tutti connessi alla scomparsa di P. L'ambiente socio-culturale è quello speleologico, in una città di provincia del nord-est d'Italia e i luoghi ove si svolgono i fatti esistono realmente. Questa è una storia inquietante e arcana che affonda le radici in epoche assai lontane, quando la Santa Inq lontano dal tunnel, mette al rogo un intero gruppo di religiosi Benedettini Olivetani, accusati di eresia, blasfemia, occultismo e stregoneria. A Luca e Claudio, coprotagonisti, le cui vite saranno segnate dalla terribile vicenda, spetta il gravoso compito di svelare gli enigmi che si celano dentro antiche abbazie abbandonate da secoli, fino ai giorni nostri, nel 2020, anno catastrofico e, come tale, già previsto da forze ostili e misteriose.
