{"product_id":"9781803514420","title":"The Day Of The Owl - Leonardo Sciascia","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the piazza, a man lies dead. No one will say if they witnessed his killing. This presents a challenge to the investigating officer, a man who earnestly believes in the values of a democratic and modern society. Indeed, his enquiries are soon blocked off by a wall of silence and vested interests; he must work against the community to save it and expose the truth.The narrative moves on two levels: that of the investigator, who reveals a chain of savage crimes; and that of the bystanders and watchers, of those complicit with secret power, whose gossipy, furtive conversations have only one end - to stop the truth coming out. This novel about the Mafia is also a mesmerizing demonstration of how that organization sustains itself. It is both a beautifully, tautly written story and a brave act of denunciation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leonardo Sciascia","offers":[{"title":"128 pages \/ 09\/04\/2026 \/ Crime \u0026 mystery","offer_id":57110622437751,"sku":"9781803514420","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781803514420","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
