Description
Private investigator Bacci Pagano can't resist taking the bait when his new client offers him a substantial sum. However, he soon realizes that there's always a catch. In a hospital corridor, Pagano is keeping watch over Jasmìne Kilamba, whose testimony could be crucial in bringing down a notorious human trafficking ring. A chance encounter with an elderly German man named Kurt Hessen sets off a chain of events that draws Pagano into a world of old secrets and new lies. As he delves deeper, the past comes back to haunt him, and the bill for the sins of the past is due - with interest. This wartime thriller elegantly intertwines two storylines, one set in Nazi-occupied Genoa and the other in the present day. Originally published as Rossoamaro, The German Client has been praised for its masterful tale that weaves together gritty realism and a gripping mystery.
