'An investigation into the astonishing claim that the Nobel prize winner was killed by the Soviet secret police.' -- The Sunday Times 'Published in English for the first time, the Italian poet and historian Giovanni Catelli argues that Camus, author of the existential masterpiece The Stranger , was murdered by the Soviet security agency.' -- The Telegraph 'Kisil maintains that Zabrana did his utmost to find credible and objective sources of information in the USSR. It's possible -- and actually even probable -- that he could have met someone from this circle of people who told him about the assassination of Camus, and who themselves had heard it from someone close to the upper echelons of the Communist Party, he said.' -- Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty 'Catelli learned not to give up hope in the time since he discovered the testimony of Jan Zabrana. His book reads like a detective novel without resolution or punishment -- no one was or will be jailed for murdering Camus.' -- Pagina 12 (Argentina) 'A text of seductive literary, biographical, critical and historical value.' -- Avvenire 'Catelli succeeds in convincing us that Camus could have been assassinated by the KGB.' -- Le Monde Libertaire 'Fast-paced and entertaining, reads like a spy novel.' -- La Capital (Argentina) 'Catelli contends that the KGB was responsible for the auto accident that killed Camus [...] More controversially, he also argues that the French government was complicit in the killing.' -- Inside Hook
