Voices in the Wind: A Matter of Honor

Tony Manera

4.9/5 (21931 ratings)

Description:Don Pasquale has the inside track on a five-billion-euro project that promises him fame and fortune. Complications arise when the European Investment Bank, worried about Mafia involvement, freezes the project’s funding, and he receives a mysterious warning from the local police inspector. He decides to raise cash from his corrupt allies in London, unaware that he’s being betrayed in Sicily. All appears lost until the Byzantine machinations of Italian politics create an opportunity that will make his troubles dissipate like morning dew under a rising Sicilian sun. And he’ll go down in history as the man who got the grand project done. A complex investigation involving police forces in Italy, Canada, Scotland Yard, the FBI, and Interpol follows. The scenic Sicilian resort town of Taormina, with its rich cultural heritage, provides the primary setting for the plot’s epic clash between corruption and the pursuit of justice.Kirkus Review Excerpt: “Manera, author of several novels as well as nonfiction books and a memoir, writes a fast-paced story that wastes no time in building to its climax. He shows a keen understanding of Italian and specifically Sicilian politics, business practices, and culture; matters such as the complicated Italian Parliamentary system are explained clearly, sometimes in helpful footnotes. He also makes good use of Mount Etna as a metaphor for Don Pasquale’s rise and possible fall, as Bellini suggests to him in a nice bit of foreshadowing: “Isn’t it amazing how peaceful Etna is most of the time? Yet, even when a mantle of snow covers its peak, there could be a devastating eruption. Sometimes, there are warning signs.” The ending provides satisfaction, with all the loose ends tied up.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
