Description
Liar Moon by Ben Pastor is a gripping historical mystery set against the backdrop of Italy's tumultuous 1943. When a prominent local fascist is found dead, the investigation falls to Wehrmacht major and aristocrat Baron Martin von Bora, who must navigate a complex web of anti-partisan warfare and the tragedy of the Holocaust. Haunted by his past opposition to SS policies in Russia, Bora must tread carefully as he watches Clara, the prime suspect, with suspicion. As the chase unfolds, relentless violence and betrayal threaten to discredit the regime's public image. This is a breathless tale of detection and reflection, where historical realities are riveted into the narrative. Ben Pastor brings his unique perspective as someone who lived in Italy for thirty years, drawing on their experiences to craft an original and melancholy story.
