Synopsis

At the Bar Lume, with the exception of Massimo the bartender and his assistant, the beautiful Tiziana, the youngest regular is seventysomething Aldo. The principal, indeed the only, activity in which the bar's elderly patrons engage is sitting around playing cards and analysing, gossiping and chronicling every event that occurs in their small Tuscan town. They ask Massimo, to investigate a murder and provide a running commentary, playing devil's advocate to all theories about the crime. Their cunning at three card Monte has taught them to see the truth behind appearances.

About this title

Review:

"Readers will see themselves reflected in this portrayal of the provinces, the small towns, those regular haunts that we visit every day--the same bar, the same cafe. Readers recognize themselves, and it's reassuring."--Andrea Camilleri
