“A riveting mystery packed with political and historical intrigue. Italy’s past and present are woven together in thrilling detail.” —Jo Piazza, author of The Sicilian Inheritance and Everyone Is Lying to You “Robecchi has the natural gift of graceful irony. Some are born pianists, others as illustrators; he was born to make us discover, with a smile, the unexpected grotesque in situations, the ridiculousness of those who can only gaze at their own navel.” —Il Venerdì di Repubblica
