La strategia della clarissa

by Governa Cristiano
La strategia della clarissa

A caustic noir full of poetry.

“My sister is 1.72 tall, 36 years old, natural blonde. And she’s in a convent. What could a clarissine have found at five o’clock in the morning? Why does her voice seem freightened?”

Carlo Vento is a police inspector in Bologna: he loves old songs and good cooking, hates the sea and those fake TV detectives. His sister Paola, beautiful and restless, has become a Clarissine nun, but a very unusual one: she likes bikinis, dirty talk and his brother’s cooking.

One day Paola finds out that someone is praying St. Catherine to make some people die. At the same time Carlo has to find a 15 y.o. girl who disappeared. A dead body is found in Romagna, by the sea, and Carlo must set off and try to solve the case. Paola will be his helper.
