Ci sono fatti di cronaca destinati a rimanere per sempre nell'immaginario collettivo, storie capaci di dividere l'opinione pubblica e toccare corde insospettate. Il caso Garlasco è uno di questi: un delitto che ha segnato il Paese, una storia giudiziaria solo apparentemente conclusa e che oggi torna con nuovi interrogativi e nuove ombre. Per anni l'unico indagato è Alberto Stasi, compagno della vittima, il «biondino dagli occhi di ghiaccio».

Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.
