Guglielmo DIzzia Reihenfolge der Bücher

"Told in a cinematic, darkly humorous, present tense, The Transaction leads De Angelis to a small town perched somewhere in Sicily's hinterland to negotiate a straightforward real estate deal. While en route, however, the train he is on breaks down. Unable to reach his local go-between, he must spend the night in a squalid whistle stop. What follows is a tangled series of unsettling events, involving child prostitution and brazen killings, that thrust him at the centre of a murky mafia plot. Alone in a hostile village, he stumbles into a cast of despicable characters intent on preventing the ill-fated property from being sold. But De Angelis refuses to leave town. As he erratically obsesses on piecing together what went wrong with his transaction, he crosses path with Marinella, an alluring eleven-year-old girl with luscious chestnut hip-long hair, softly cascading along slender contours. The inciting chance encounter traps him in a psychological and moral cul-de-sac that leaves him with no choice but to confront the type of man he really is."--
