Book description
Matty Matthews has been to the town of Forza d'Aguil before. Stationed
there with a small group of soldiers during WWII, it was here that Matty
fell in love with Rosanna. It was a sweet, short-lived affair until the
soldiers unexpectedly got orders to pull out. Matty never got to say
goodbye. Now he's back in Sicily, drawn to the mountain town after all
these years. But the citizens of Forza d'Aguil are easy to offend, and
when Matty inadvertently crosses Pino, the Mafioso sabotages his
leaving. Trapped in Forza d'Aguil, hemmed in on all sides by the
oppression of the town and its silent citizens, he's stuck in the middle
of Mafia country with no way out. He has only the help of the innkeeper
Vinciguerra, a man he can't understand, and the passion of the sweet
Sophia. Or is she part of the sinister web, too?
