2013br. Le vicende e le persone descritte nel romanzo sono frutto di fantasia, per quanto gli eventi si ispirino a un delitto realmente accaduto, l'omicidio del giovane iscritto al Fronte della Gioventù Sergio Ramelli, sprangato a morte da militanti di Avanguardia Operaia: ma tale rifacimento è solo per contestualizzare e dare veridicità al romanzo ambientato ai giorni nostri. L'"escamotage" narrativo è dato dal ritrovamento di un vecchio libro: "Il fiore spezzato", che narra di un omicidio politico commesso negli anni Settanta. A ritrovarlo è una giovane donna, che per uno scherzo del destino è l'ignara moglie di un protagonista di quegli anni. L'autore nell'Introduzione: "Non scrivo questo per cercare assoluzioni o simpatie, ma soltanto per spiegare che le vicende di cui mi sono impossessato per dare vita ai miei personaggi, mai esistiti in questo mondo, e che ho in parte modificato secondo i capricci della mia fantasia, non sono usate allo scopo di sostenere tesi o partigianerie, ma solo per cercare di esplorare in un romanzo le infinite possibilità dell'agire umano. Un agire che spesso ci fa accalorare come tanti burattini, senza però farci mai scoprire dove sia il burattinaio".

2022br. Westminster, Londra. James Whitehouse è un uomo di potere, un maschio attraente, un padre devoto. Ed è accusato di violenza sessuale da una donna con cui ha ammesso di aver avuto una relazione. La moglie Sophie è convinta della sua innocenza, ma le sue certezze, o forse le sue speranze, si scontrano con la tenacia di Kate, l'avvocata dell'accusa, determinata a colmare il divario tra giustizia e privilegio. La verità, come spesso accade, è complessa: affonda le radici in un passato lontano, tra i palazzi d'ardesia dell'università di Oxford, dove James e Sophie si sono conosciuti. E può far saltare in aria un matrimonio, un partito, un intero sistema di valori. Thriller psicologico, ritratto di famiglia e insieme giallo giudiziario, «Anatomia di uno scandalo» affronta uno dei grandi nodi del nostro presente.
