An engaging story that comes to life in the fascinating setting of the most romantic Italian city

Paperback and ebook:

A girl who has just graduated, with the dream of becoming a prominent journalist; a newspaper, The Voice of the Shadows, put together as best as possible by new journalism graduates to try to make ends meet, with the ambitious goal of entering the information elite; Omar Xantios, a famous and mature South American orchestra conductor, which is in his Venetian tour, and whose past is surrounded by a mystery regarding his controversial role in South America, during the political upheavals in his country. These are the ingredients of the engaging story, unfolding in the magical triangle existing among Verona, Treviso and Venice. Chiara needs to interview the great music Maestro to publish the weekly article, or the newspaper risks failing, but things don’t go as expected. In fact, Omar Xantios does not grant interviews. So, at the newspaper, with great difficulty, they manage to allocate a sum, which will allow Chiara to stay at least one night in the same, very luxurious hotel where Maestro Xantios is staying in Venice. Descriptions and atmospheres are the amazing frame of the involving story.

So dear friends, don’t miss the opportunity to read for free “No steps on the snow”! From june 12th to 16th on Amazon great free promotion. It is the English edition of the Italian “Nessun segno sulla neve”, winner of the National Literary Award Circe 2013. It’s a noir plot that starts nowadays but deepens its roots in 1968 and the students fight in Rome. Francesco, a brilliant middle-aged oncologist signs in a social network while surfing the Internet together with his son, and bumps into the profile of the girl he was desperately in love with during High School ‘68, when a horrible homicide happened and the guilty was never to be found. And his current life splits up!

The end is stunning and umpredictable, just like a reader’s four stars review explains:

“There is so much I cannot say without ruining the ending, so let me leave it at this: I didn’t see it coming. If you’ve seen the movie Audition by Japanese director Takashi Miike, you know how easy it is to follow the flow of a story and then get hit with a brick in the face as the truth comes out. That happens in No Steps On The Snow, and was well worth my time.”
