A great novel from one of America's finest literary crime writers... They never found the killer. All they knew, back in the winter of 1985, was that someone was taking teenagers, killing them and leaving their abused bodies in public parks.

Detectives Gus Ramone and Dan Holiday - two of the leads on the case - have pursued very different paths.

Strafalcioni detti e ascoltati nelle librerie di tutta Italia, capolavori di contorsionismo e virtuosismi su classici di tutte le epoche e ultimissime novità. Capita così a uno sbalordito commesso di sentirsi domandare: "Dove posso trovare "II fu Mattia Bazar" di Luigi Pirandello?" e due minuti dopo: "Cerco un vecchio libro della Fallaci, "Cincillà"". Ma il comico involontario a volte non è il povero cliente, sta dall'altra parte dell'ipotetico bancone. Cliente: "Avete qualcosa sui Monty Python?" Commesso: "Deve chiedere al piano di sotto, settore guide turistiche, reparto alpinismo".

"Sotto Tiberio" è una storia di crimini e inganni che racconta di un uomo chiamato Gesù Cristo. Nei recessi della biblioteca Vaticana viene ritrovato un codice antichissimo, scritto in un latino elegante; narra di un tristissimus hominum, il più tetro fra gli uomini - l'imperatore Tiberio - e di Jesvs, detto Gesù. L'autore che l'ha scritto, nel primo secolo, è Gaio Fulvio Falconio, mandato in esilio da Tiberio nella misera terra di Cesarea. Eppure in quella terra Falconio percepisce subito un'aspettativa diffusa nell'aria, la promessa di una salvezza finale, sancita dal Libro sacro dei Giudei, dopo "un'eternità passata nell'attesa, nel lamento e nel pianto". Tutta una bugia, pensa l'aristocratico romano, ma che potrebbe essere raccolta e rilanciata: con parole nuove, come proprio lui aveva già fatto a Roma con l'imperatore, dando preziosi consigli, scrivendo discorsi costruiti con maestose parole, creando l'illusione di un nuovo dio. Perché non farlo anche qui in Giudea, creare un nuovo profeta e liberarsi di Roma? E per avidità naturalmente, per mungere le nascoste ricchezze di quel deserto. Ed ecco che davanti a lui - tra tutti i malridotti messia possibili, numerosi come mosche - si fa avanti uno strano accattone con gli occhi luminosi. Sono Gesù, dice, "nato dalla sporcizia, figlio del nulla". Insieme faremo miracoli, miracoli per denaro.
