From the best-selling author of The Name of the Rose and The Prague Cemetery, a novel about the murky world of media politics, conspiracy, and murder

A newspaper committed to blackmail and mud slinging, rather than reporting the news.
 
A paranoid editor, walking through the streets of Milan, reconstructing fifty years of history against the backdrop of a plot involving the cadaver of Mussolini's double.
 
The murder of Pope John Paul I, the CIA, red terrorists handled by secret services, twenty years of bloodshed, and events that seem outlandish until the BBC proves them true.
 
A fragile love story between two born losers, a failed ghost writer, and a vulnerable girl, who specializes in celebrity gossip yet cries over the second movement of Beethoven’s Seventh. And then a dead body that suddenly appears in a back alley in Milan. 
 
Set in 1992 and foreshadowing the mysteries and follies of the following twenty years, Numero Zero is a scintillating take on our times from the best-selling author of The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum.

Recensione:
"Numero Zero [is]...a smart puzzle and a delight."—Kirkus Reviews, starred "Eco combines his delight in suspense with astute political satire in this brainy, funny, neatly lacerating thriller.... Eco’s caustically clever, darkly hilarious, dagger-quick tale of lies, crimes, and collusions condemns the shameless corruption and greed undermining journalism and governments everywhere. A satisfyingly scathing indictment brightened by resolute love." --Booklist

One of Vulture's "7 Books You Need to Read this November" Included on the Los Angeles Times's "Holiday Books Roundup" One of Bloomberg Business's "Eight Books for Your Holiday Reading" One of The Millions "Most Anticipated" from the Second Half of 2015 One of the Sun Herald's "Ten noteworthy fiction and nonfiction titles on the way" December 2015 Indie Next Pick “Witty and wry...slim in pages but plump in satire about modern Italy...it’s hard not to be charmed by the zest of the author.”—Tom Rachman, New York Times Book Review "Frequently imitated for his amalgamation of intellect, conspiracism, and historical suspense, the author of In the Name of the Rose takes a more contemporary and satirical turn. In 1992, as Italy works to cleanse itself of corruption, a hack journalist is hired to ghostwrite a memoir about a never-to-be-published gossip rag in order to cover up the real rationale for its fakery. Eco’s warped parable is rooted in a very specific time and place, but readers of Elena Ferrante or Rachel Kushner will likely catch the barbs in his clever absurdities."—Vulture (New York), "7 Books You Need to Read this November" "Numero Zero [is]...a smart puzzle and a delight."—Kirkus Reviews, starred "Eco combines his delight in suspense with astute political satire in this brainy, funny, neatly lacerating thriller....

This sly satire, borrowing from outrageous real-life Italian politics, features a larger-than-life leader, conspiracy theories and an almost-corrupt press."—New York Times, Paperback Row "Numero Zero [is]...a smart puzzle and a delight."—Kirkus Reviews, starred "Eco combines his delight in suspense with astute political satire in this brainy, funny, neatly lacerating thriller....

Praise for The Prague Cemetery: "Eco, the star bookworm of our times, has used his genius for excavating libraries to construct a semifictional narrative of how The Protocols might have evolved....The Prague Cemetery is at once entertainment, education, and warning. As usual, Eco has enjoyed himself. The narrative is vivid, shocking, sometimes baffling . . . As a genealogy showing how The Protocols evolved from the nightmares bequeathed to Europe by medieval heresy-hunting (the subject of The Name of the Rose), the book is a triumph." —New York Review of Books "Eco is to be applauded for bringing this stranger-than-fiction truth vividly to life." —The New York Times "The Prague Cemetery is an entertaining and melodramatic farrago of 19th-century European hate-mongering that features a sinister cast of anti-Semites, assassins and Satanists...The novel's chief enjoyment lies in the guilty pleasure of despising Mr. Eco's super-villain—for a little while, at least, we have a scapegoat to blame for one of history's most pernicious nightmares." —Wall Street Journal "I find this book fascinating, perhaps the best Eco has written in years . . . It's already a bestseller in Italy, and I can't get enough of it!" —Huffington Post "Already a best seller in Spain, Italy and other countries, The Prague Cemetery is a well-executed thriller set in late-19th-century Europe. This is Eco's first novel in seven years. It's provocative and suspenseful, and it's already drumming up controversy...The Prague Cemetery is edifying and thoroughly worthwhile. That it is historically accurate makes it all the more chilling." —USA Today
