Fiction
Ghosts’ Procession
by Gianluca Lioni
Description
Sardinia, 1864. Russian anarchist Michail Bakunin lands on the island of La Maddalena, where he is personally greeted by Giuseppe Garibaldi and his gang. Meanwhile, at the only tavern in the village, old English captain Daniel Roberts learns about the mysterious death of Loriga, a merchant who claimed to have witnessed the Rèula, a macabre procession of souls that local people believe to be a “portent of doom”. But Roberts is too shrewd a man to fall for superstition, and so he begins to investigate what could be the true reason behind this murder –until the situation soon falls into chaos when another man is found dead.
To solve the mystery, Roberts must delve into the intricate tangle of deceptions, secrets and fables, with Garibaldi, Bakunin and a priest as his allies.
With a skilful and knowing literary eye, Gianluca Lioni creates a strongly convincing scenario for his debut novel, a story just as plausible as historically accurate.
