MODERN CANNIBALS CRAVE MONEY, NOT FLESH
Miki is a young, aspiring actor in Italy, but the only work he can find is as a barista. Penniless, taken advantage of, and alone, he's losing hope of having a decent life. Then he meets Don Crist?, a wealthy retiree who sees potential in him as a cultured, brilliant young man. They become friends, but when substantial money enters the picture, it's hard to maintain a neutral friendship. With greed comes temptation to skirt the law, especially when an inheritance is at stake and a beautiful woman is involved...
This unique legal and psychological thriller eliminates the narrator, so there is no one to describe, interpret, guide, or mislead. The reader hears the story directly from the characters and makes up their own mind about the case. Reader Reviews from original language version:
"I've never read a book like this before. It feels like a movie, especially during the trial."
"A surprising psychological thriller, remarkable for its original, innovative approach where the story isn't crafted by the narration but by the characters' dialogues."
"This novel is fantastic because it disorients you. The absence of a narrator is new to me, but I really enjoyed it."
"I'm a fan of thrillers, and in my life I've read a lot of them by a lot of different authors. I start off with that to show that I know what I'm talking about when I say that this novel is as beautiful as it is out of the ordinary."
"After having read the first part that felt a little slow, I stayed up until almost 4am to find out how it ended."
