Book description
Hanno Stiffeniis, the magistrate from the gripping thrillers
Critique of Criminal Reason and Days of Atonement, is called to
Prussia's Baltic coast, where the naked, mutilated body of a young
woman has been found by the shore. This is an area rich in amber,
harvested - mainly by women - to be transformed into priceless
jewellery. The occupying French army has taken over this lucrative
trade to finance the battle against the Russian invasion, but as more
women are killed, they suspect the Prussian resistance movement.
Hanno's fears meanwhile point towards a psychotic serial killer, and
no woman here is safe . . .
Michael Gregorio are Michael G. Jacob and Daniela De Gregorio.
She teaches philosophy. He is interested in the history of photography
in the nineteenth century. They have been married for over twenty-five
years and live in Spoleto, a small town in central Italy. Days of
Atonement, their second novel, followed Critique of Criminal Reason. A
Visible Darkness is the third novel in the Hanno Stiffeniis series
