In modern-day London, a city that sparkles with lights and intrigue, Commissioner Anthony Casu, a Sardinian investigator with a casual air and a scoundrel's charm, finds himself involved in one of the strangest and most dangerous cases of his career. A lover of cigars, reggaeton and beautiful women, Casu travels around the metropolis aboard his inseparable 1960s Alfetta, a relic that clashes with the modern urban chaos. At his side, as always, is Bobore, a taciturn but loyal friend, whose past in the London slums has honed both his fighting skills and his caustic sense of humor. The investigation begins when the body of a young woman is found in a luxurious apartment in Soho. The crime scene is an enigma: rose petals scattered on the floor, an unlit candle next to an ancient parchment, and a note that says **"Love is the most powerful of magic"**. Casu immediately understands that there is something darker and more sinister behind that crime, an invisible thread that leads him into the exclusive and decadent world of a secret club, the *Velvet Rose*. In this club, where the art of eroticism mixes with esoteric rituals, Casu and Bobore discover a web of intrigue involving the London elite, and the suspects multiply: a rich philanthropist, a jazz singer with a tormented past, and even a young magician with quick hands and a dark heart. Each encounter is a piece that brings them closer to the truth, but also exposes them to new dangers. To complicate matters, there is the presence of Dr. Eva Martini, the coroner with whom Casu has worked for years. Bright, charming and seemingly inaccessible, Eva hides a secret: she has always been in love with Anthony, but she fears that confessing her feelings could compromise their fragile balance. Between DNA analysis and nights spent discussing evidence in his laboratory, a palpable tension develops between the two, made of stolen glances and biting jokes, which culminates in an unexpected kiss during a moment of extreme vulnerability. The case becomes complicated when it is discovered that the victim had a connection to a series of unsolved murders in the past. Here the flashbacks take us to London in the 90s, a dark period full of mysteries, and the flashforwards show a future in which Anthony risks everything to protect Eva from a killer who seems obsessed with her. In a crescendo of adrenaline, sensuality and twists, Casu and Bobore will have to rely on their skills, their friendship and their instinct to solve the case. In the meantime, Anthony will have to face his feelings for Eva, in a race against time where the stakes are not only the truth, but also the heart. With sharp irony, noir atmospheres and a London that becomes a character in itself, *Love Spell* is a novel that skillfully mixes mystery, passion and magic, in an investigation that will change the life of Commissioner Casu forever.
