Book description
Aurelio Zen of Rome's Criminalpol is back, but nobody's supposed to
know it. After months in hospital recovering from a bomb attack on his
car, he is lying low under a false name at a beach resort on the
Tuscan coast, waiting to testify in an imminent anti-Mafia trial. Zen
has clear instructions: to sit back and enjoy the classic Italian
beach holiday. But Zen is getting restless, and as an alarming number
of people are dropping dead around him, it seems just a matter of time
before the Mafia manages to finish the job they bungled months before
on a lonely Sicilian road ...
