Night Bus by Ann Goldstein
Leila is young, beautiful and a hustler who robs hapless men picked up in trendy nightclubs of Bologna. It's easy money, until she ends up with a document at the centre of a carefully crafted plot of political blackmail. She is now pursued by two secret service operatives, a goon hired by the blackmailer and the police, in this crime adventure.
"A perfect blend of a fast-paced chase film with biting satire; pot-shots taken at politicians, the secret service, the police, the idle and less idle rich, and various other urban low-lifersLet war begin." La Repubblica "A brilliant thriller, ironic and hard hitting, full of astonishing plot twists. Inspired by the hardcore writing of Elmore Leonard and Donald E. Westlake but Rigosi takes things a step further with a gift for drawing truly relevant and unforgettable characters." Il Manifesto"
Giampiero Rigosi, born in 1962, lives and works in Bologna.
