Riassunto

Biding his time on a routine assignment in remote Calabria, Aurelio Zen finds himself investigating the sudden disappearance of an advance scout for an American film company, in a case that enmeshes him in the centuries-old secrets of the tight-knit local community, a code of silence hiding the truth about a brutal murder, and a hunt for long-lost treasure. 20,000 first printing.

Recensione:

"Didbin's Italy-based Aurelio Zen tales are among the best in the mystery genre."
--The Boston Globe

"Didbin has an abundance of gifts: bracing wit, the ability to wring unexpected poignance out of dark comedy, and a gift for striking imagery."
--The Wall Street Journal

"Didbin belongs to that hierarchy of innovative stylists who make it a point of honor never to repeat a singal trick."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Didbin's work deserves comparison with such...giants as Raymond Chandler."
--The Oregonian

"Didbin is esential reading for those who love mysteries and Italy without illusions."
--The Washington Post
