Politics, terror, and spellbinding literary gamesmanship are at the heart of a daring fiction debut . . .
Milan, 1962. David Montorsi, an earnest young police detective, is obsessed by a death that his colleagues conspicuously ignore: a child found murdered and half-buried under a Second World War monument in the football stadium. Montorsi's investigation leads him into a world of secret assassinations and danger - engineered, it seems, by an elusive figure named Ishmael.
Set in a Milan shadowed by rain, cold, and menace, as well as in Paris, Frankfurt, and Brussels, 'In The Name Of Ishmael' is a thriller that will leave its readers gasping for air and a bold exploration of the hidden uses of power.
