Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A Murdered Sicilian Mayor and Stolen American Trucks: American Lieutenant Benjamin Adano investigates some missing trucks, while the Carabinieri craft a conspiracy to implicate an innocent man for a mayor's murder and protect the dead man's enemies. The entire town, from the priest to the poet, gets caught in a web of half-truths and deception. Class, generational, and political conflicts, poverty and war form the backdrop of this skillfully translated masterpiece of crime narrative. The tension between truth and lies, between words and silence fill this small-town Sicilian drama to mirror the larger devastating effects of injustice, both personal and societal.
