À propos de la quatrième de couverture

THE EUROPEAN BESTSELLER 1978

Italy is shocked by the kidnapping of the politician Aldo Moro by the terrorist group the Red Brigades. In Milan, the upper classes amuse themselves in elegant restaurants and underground clubs. This is Bravo's world. Enigmatic and cynical, Bravo makes his living catering to the fantasies and fetishes of the wealthy and depraved.

When the mysterious Carla enters his life, what begins as a clandestine romance quickly becomes a nightmare as Bravo is wanted by the police, by the organized crime underworld and even by the Red Brigades. As the web around him tightens, Bravo realises that nothing is quite what it seems.

'Expertly . . . As the narrative proceeds, many small and unobtrusively planted seeds are brought to bloom in satisfying and surprising ways.' The New York Times Book Review

'The greatest Italian writer today.' Corriere della Sera

'In my neck of the woods, people like Faletti are called larger than life, living legends.' Jeffery Deaver
