"A beguiling read . . . A cold-case whodunnit [and] a Shadow of the
Wind-style quest" - John Dugdale, Sunday Times "Bestselling writer
Luca D'Andrea has concocted a fearsome witches' brew of myth,
memory and mayhem" Sunday Times Crime Club A haunting thriller
drawing on myths, legends and fairy tales, set in a mysterious
Italian valley - from Italy's bestselling answer to Stephen King.
"D'Andrea piles on the action and the atmosphere with the panache
of a seasoned writer" Marcel Berlins, The Times It begins with a
slap in the face. Out walking his St Bernard, Tony Carcano is
confronted by a girl on a motorbike who shows him a photograph from
his past. Of him posing with the body of a young woman. Smiling.
"Why were you laughing?" It's not the last Tony sees of Sybille
Knapp, an orphan whose mother drowned herself in Kreuzwirt lake in
1999. That was the official verdict. Before long, Tony, a
bestselling writer, is turning his imagination to working out what
really happened. But Kreuzwirt is a sullen, silent community, loyal
to the powerful Perkman family, who will stop at nothing to keep
the truth buried. And there are other forces at work in this
valley. Stories of an ancient evil. Whispers of a figure who stands
between this world and the next. The Wanderer sings and his song is
the wind. Translated from the Italian by Katherine Gregor
