Publisher's Synopsis
Mike has a complicated relationship with his son Alex. Elena, Mike's wife, is barbarously murdered after a violent falling out with her husband. Alex catches his father at the crime scene, a murder that investigative bodies would have attributed to Mike if it weren't that Elena's body was torn apart by a ferocious beast. Mike's innocence will never convince his son, especially when Alex will find out, years later, that his father had lied to the police despite his innocence. Why? What's Mike hiding? An incredible story unfolds against the background of the Roman coast. It has roots going back many centuries and involves the Holy See. In fact, a secret order of the Church will be back in action after five hundred years of inactivity to hunt down the one who has returned..
From the authoress of the best-selling Italian trilogy Il Dominio dei Mondi
Readers' opinion
"This book, like every book by Nunzia Alemanno, has captured my interest. I usually read books of different genres from My Father-The Dark Creature but this book really intrigued me and I'd like to see how Nunzia Alemanno will cope with this new genre. She wrote an excellent novel, and her fantasy is always phenomenal. She was able to handle this paranormal thriller at the same way as she did with fantasy: in a superb and professional way. I recommend reading this beautiful novel as it is not limited to tension and suspense, but places human values such as friendship, love and brotherhood in the foreground."
"Nunzia Alemanno shows us her great narrative skills again by focusing her fervent imagination on a new genre. She had already handled the thriller in her fantasy trilogy but, thanks to the addition of the paranormal, she made the latter novel intriguing and fascinating. It is not limited only to demons and Mephistophelian creatures... we can find a beautiful love story between a damned and a witch! It is a very strange thing because demons and witches, by innate instinct, hate each other to death. I recommend this reading."
