Book Description | Published in 1966, this novel can be considered the most complete and fascinating product of the wonderful fusion of the detective novel and the civic protest novel, which strikingly characterizes the early stages of Leonardo Shacha's novel. In a frank style free of literary exaggerations, Shasha tells a story of blood and corruption in a town on the Italian island of Sicily. Slowly, but without hesitation, but with great courage, he shines a light on a web of complicity, cowardice and opportunism that wants to preserve the status quo in Sicily, and through Shasha's agonizing contemplation of an incurable evil, the novel surprises us with the crucial evidence that Sicily has been left just as prey Unarmed by the power of a criminal organization, it seeks only to perpetuate itself. There is no law but the law of the mafia A village apothecary is murdered on a hunting trip, as the crime is orchestrated to appear as a crime of passion. But facts that the pharmacist's closest friend learns lead him to suspect something else, so he himself takes over the task of the investigation. This novel, in short, is a mysterious and cruel Sicilian narration. The tragedy of a vigilant detective, the more he investigates, the more he feels himself morally and sensually mired in confusion and ambiguity. |
