happened first time a crime jumps straight to Eurovisionthat Claudio Villa, not Luigi Tenco, is the Italian representative in this edition. Since then, nothing similar has been repeated. At least in reality. who dares kill the favorite To win a competition that brings together 200 million viewers every season? This is the question Luis Miguel Sargento asked himself. Euroblack (Cosecha Negra Ediciones) is a novel set in the symbolic Eurovision ecosystem.
May 2022. Audience favourite, Domenico Fabbriconi, was found dead in his dressing room the day before the first semi-final match at Palasport in Turin. Doubts fall on Sweden, ranks second in bookmakers. Is it all to win? Faced with this chaos, the appointment’s chief executive, Bjön Van Vries, calls the Republic Security Department to investigate what happened.
“This is a competition in which the celebration of the peace of the peoples is not victory but competition. And as with any self-respecting celebration, a need for sacrifice is envisioned,” reads in the preface. Sergeant, who blends reality and fiction with agility, European scale tip Typical questions like what, who, where, when and why aren’t that easy to answer. The hulk that the plot takes place prevents this.
What happened?
Domenico, the favorite participant to win, was killed the morning before the Eurovisual celebrations began. Overwhelmed and the predictions go to Sweden, which is second in the betting houses,” says Sargento. “Is there anything in a format that has these features? This is what police chief Vincenzo Romano will have to learn; Ignazio Bravi, body number two; and Eneko Zubiri, a journalist from the Euromovidas podcast”.
Where did it take place?
According to the author, “Eurovision 2022, the first festival after the pandemic, is an important date for fans. And not only that: it takes place in the transalpine land from which Fabbriconi came. We are faced with a program that has stopped Europe and most of the world for seven days. It’s a scenario hitherto unexplored in detective novels: the number of people following it and the struggle it creates make it the perfect setting for a crime.”
When did it happen?
“During general rehearsals on Monday, May 9th. Despite Italy being part of the so-called Big-5 (a group of five countries that went directly to the final for their contribution to the EBU), they planned different tests at one venue that day until the flag. It was the perfect moment because the nerves were on the surface and the hustle and bustle made everything go unnoticed. And one more piece of information: there were no cameras in the locker room where the artist was found dead to ensure the privacy of the artists,” Sergeant continues.
Who did it?
For the author, “Whoever killed Fabriconi gets to him easily, because it is not easy to reach singers in a competition with these characteristics. He must be an individual motivated by something beyond simple musical rivalry… resentment, envy and self-interest”.
Why did you kill him?
“The answer to this question is about who: someone who only thinks they’re doing the right thing believes they can create chaos in a group as strong as the EBU with complete impunity,” Sargento concludes. “In short, a subject enraged at the simple presence of the victim.”
