La mezzaluna di sabbia
by Tokarczuk Olga
The first novel of an intriguing series.
Gregorio Misticò, known as Gori, is chief inspector of the Carabinieri on leave. Forty years old, he has a twentycentimetre scar over his heart. After working with the Anti-Terrorism Unit in Milan he returns to San Telesforo Jonico, his hometown in the South, and goes on leave. No one knows why, except his friend Nicola Strangio, an oncologist working in Milan. Gori has cancer, probably incurable. He travels to the north of Italy for medication, but without much conviction. Gori Misticò doesn’t want to be bothered in this crucial time of his life.
But a heinous murder followed by another very elegant but no less suspicious death will disrupt San Telesforo. The Vice Brigadier Federico Costantino asks for his help. Gori refuses, but…
A portrait of Calabria caught between degradation and splendour. A classic investigation with a contemporary pace.
