Assassin Thriller

Guy believed he’d found the answer to overcoming that bleak dysfunctional fatalism they all felt. Bottling up emotions isn’t good, he reasoned. So, he would do what ordinary people did and he would set up an emotional support group. It was only when the newest member joined the group that things started to happen. The tables were turning and the assassins found themselves being targeted. This wasn’t good, but at least it gave an opportunity to get away from the hotel that served the worst tea imaginable.

Rick’s brother Sam might be able to help, but he’s a fugitive from the law himself, on nobody’s side but his own.

"Il commissario Saverio Mineo odia molte cose: per esempio i guanti, la forfora, i piedi brutti, la fretta, i pigiami a righe, il suo assistente Milito e sua moglie. Ma la cosa che odia di più sono i delitti, perché lo costringono a fingere di lavorare, mentre lui vorrebbe starsene in pace a leggere "La Gazzetta dello Sport", nel suo ufficio o al limite su una panchina vista mare. In fondo, perché dovrebbe succedere qualcosa nei tranquilli paesini di Cinisi e Terrasini?"

Si avvertono, inoltre, echi kafkiani e dostoevskijani, ma sopratutto traspare la passione dell'autore per l'analisi psicologica.
