Fiction
Zodiaco Street Food
by Heman Zed
Description
Times change and even organized crime needs to run for cover. Romeo Marconato, former member of the Mala of Brenta, certainly does have a gift: the ability to sniff out good deals. Stuck with a wife he hates, a difficult child and a villa in the Paduan countryside, he has built his business from the ground up at the edges of the law: Zodiaco, a zodiac themed food truck franchise that runs along the Padova-Venezia highway.
Then there is super chef Vitiello, tv super star from the show The Simple Cook, and his writers, knees deep in a creative slump for the following season format. And there is also a loose cannon: she waits tables at L’ultimo Doge, hiding her true descent in spite of herself.
However, Romeo Marconato is the pivot of the story. Uncontested king of low priced and even lower quality street food, he will be served a juicy opportunity at the hands of his past. All is left to see, is how well he will handle a chain of events well beyond his grasp.

Reviews
“Zodiaco street food has something noir and terribly comical as well. A brilliant depiction of the Venetian lagoon and its characters at the edges of reality.”
«Il Mattino»
“If there’s anything inherently Tarantinian among my most recent reads, it surely is this Serenissima interpretation of a noir.”
«Blow Up»
“Heman Zed crafted a narration that flows perfectly: the plot, the storyline, the structure, its twists and turns. Everything does the trick.”
«Corriere del Veneto»
