In the piazza, a man lies dead. No one will say if they witnessed
his killing. This presents a challenge to the investigating
officer, a man who earnestly believes in the values of a democratic
and modern society. Indeed, his enquiries are soon blocked off by a
wall of silence and vested interests; he must work against the
community to save it and expose the truth.The narrative moves on
two levels: that of the investigator, who reveals a chain of savage
crimes; and that of the bystanders and watchers, of those complicit
with secret power, whose gossipy, furtive conversations have only
one end - to stop the truth coming out. This novel about the Mafia
is also a mesmerizing demonstration of how that organization
sustains itself. It is both a beautifully, tautly written story and
a brave act of denunciation.
