Turin 1946. Un bouquet de fleurs et une étrange inscription, Italia 1944 ma vengeance pour toi, accompagnent à chaque fois la découverte de cheminots assassinés. L'affaire n'intéresse personne. Seul l'ancien inspecteur de la Police ferroviaire, Adelmo Baudino, injustement révoqué pour collaboration, devenu manœuvre sur les chantiers, recherche la vérité. L'une des victimes était en mesure de le réhabiliter. Que s'est-il passé ce 3 mars 1944 ? de quelle vengeance s'agit-il ? show more L'Italie d'après-guerre, loin d'être intégralement convaincue des bienfaits de la démocratie, garde jalousement ses mystères. Si retrouver son honneur est essentiel, Adelmo Baudino risque aussi d'y perdre la vie... show less
This is a story of a an Italian man who has been imprisoned in relation to the death of his French wife. You learn about their courtship, their marriage, and its disintegration. Although his wife was born in France, she is of Iranian descent, and is assumed by many to be a Muslim. As she strives to stand up for women's rights, her religious beliefs change, leading to a shocking conclusion. This was a very good **** novel.
This could not sustain my interest to the end.

It is written well, but the story is slow moving and somewhat disjointed. I suspect these are the major factors which led to a lack of connection with the characters and story.
