Night Bus by Giampiero Rigosi
A thrilling black comedy: Leila, a young, beautiful hustler gets caught up in the centre of a political blackmail plot when a document ends up in her hands. In an intense environment of paranoia, secret service operatives, a goon hired by the blackmailer and the police all pursue Leila to retrieve the document and the suitcase of money for the pay-off. Desperate, she joins forces with Francesco, a bus driver and gambling addict on the run from a debt collector. The frenetic pace is set against a backdrop of torture and murder.
"An ironic and relentless thrillerA chase that won't let you catch your breath until the last page." Carlo Lucarelli"Pure delight. Frenetic, savagely funny, this is first rate and witty entertainment" The Guardian"The dripping of blood and the angle of a broken neck are described as lovingly as the preparation of a nice eggplant parmigiana."
