Antonio Tabucchi, Italy's premier writer and a best-selling author
throughout Europe, draws together Manolo the gypsy, Firmino, a
young tabloid journalist with a weakness for Lukacs and Vittorini,
and Don Fernando, an overweight lawyer with a professed resemblance
to the actor Charles Laughton, to solve a murder that leads far up
and down Portugal's social ladder. As the investigation leads
deeper into Portugal's power structure, the novel defies
expectations, departing from the formulaic twists of a suspense
story to consider the moral weight of power and its abuse.
