A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An Italian general is found dead in his apartment. Next to his body is a small card inscribed with a salamander in a bed of flames. Is it suicide or murder? Dante Matucci, a captain in the Italian secret service, begins an investigation that leads him into a maze of political violence and intrigue. He meets the general's former mistress, Lili Anders, and embarks on a dangerous affair with the beautiful one-time spy. Soon he is drawn into the net of the great Salamander himself, millionaire industrialist Bruno Manzini, who is pitting his wits against the elaborate machinery threatening Italy's government. In a game of high stakes, how much is Matucci prepared to pay to survive? The Leopard and The Godfather rolled into one. The Pittsburgh Press Once started you'll HAVE to finish it. Sunday Mirror An exceptionally well-informed thriller. The Times
