La città vuota (English: The Hollow City) is a 2019 Italian mystery novel by Elia P. Ansaloni.Set in the city of Modena during a particularly hot summer, it revolves around the murder of Giada, a brilliant university student, and the improvised investigation put on by four of her former high school classmates. Things become more complicated once another mysterious death from five years before could be linked to the case: during a seaside vacation after the end of high school, their classmate Federico drowned in what was hastily written off as an accident. Could it be that someone is out to get revenge for his death? | |

Dirty Coward | |
| La città vuota / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: While Alessandro tends to react aggressively to any problem he faces, deep down he has no courage. He gets killed for it when he prefers to delay his confession to get a chance to evade justice, which only gives the killer enough time to reach him while he's still under the police radar. | |

Sarcastic Title | |
| La città vuota / int_22294000 | comment |
Sarcastic Title: The song after which the book is named is about a woman feeling alone in a city full of people because she's not with her loved one. In the story, Modena is almost deserted because of the heat and people leaving for vacation, and Lucrezia couldn't be happier if only her former boyfriend Alessandro stayed away from her. | |

| La città vuota / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: On one hand, Alessandro is dead, Ander has been severely wounded and Giada's father is going to be indicted for murdering Alessandro's parents. On the other hand, however, all the culprits have been stopped and their scheme has been exposed, which will potentially save many lives. Also, Ander recovers from his wounds and the group is as tight as ever. | |

| La città vuota / int_45107a1e | comment |
Of Interclass Romance and Interclass Friendship. None of the four protagonists are particularly wealthy, and the relation between Lucrezia and the much richer Alessandro ends bitterly as he doesn't really consider her his equal. Also, Alessandro sees the rest of the water polo team as underlings, which strains his friendship with Ander. | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble | |
| La città vuota / int_65bc92fc | comment |
Four-Temperament Ensemble: The four main characters fit the trope nicely. Lucrezia is choleric — the de facto leader of the group and the one with most initiative. Ander is sanguine — easygoing and friendly with almost everyone, although quite naive. Sergio is melancholic — sarcastic and methodical, not really in touch with his emotional side. Matilde is phlegmatic — The Heart of the group and willing to stay in the background despite being very resourceful. | |

Honest Corporate Executive | |
| La città vuota / int_7a555627 | comment |
Honest Corporate Executive: Riccardo, Alessandro's father, is much more level-headed than his son and expects him to become an adequate inheritor for his company. He even offers Ander a jobs interview soon after the latter has obtained a degree, saying that he values greatly someone who is both smart and reasonable like Ander. It's all just a façade, since Riccardo is both more corrupt and twisted than Alessandro, and the same can be said about his wife Caterina. | |

Deconstruction Of Amateur Sleuth. The protagonists manage to obtain a discrete amount of information only because they know the victim and one of them almost dies after accidentally crossing one of the killers' path. Also, they don't have access to the instruments and freedom of action that is reserved to the police, and they can only get to the truth thanks to a confession left by Alessandro, although they deduce which password will unlock the access to said confession.

Friend on the Force: Sort of. Police chief Caselli knows Sergio because he investigated when the latter's father was injuried in a case of vehicular manslaughter. It works in the opposite sense than the usual one, as Sergio doesn't get filed information from him but rather shares with him what he has obtained from Daniele's... improvised interrogation, knowing Caselli will trust him without asking too much about how he has found out those details. | |
