It had been a bad week for January Esposito. First, he is fired from his job in London; then a letter from his girlfriend enclosing a snapshot of her wedding to a Mormon missionary. A visit from his medallion-sporting brother Gigi didn’t help, particularly when his hasty departure through the kitchen window coincided with a mysterious visit from two less amicable Neapolitans. January couldn’t quite fathom why they were taking such an inordinate interest in his classical music collection and, having accepted their rather crudely expressed invitation to a drive round the countryside, felt he might not live long enough to find out.
The mystery takes him to Naples, where he realises he and his brother are embroiled in a conspiracy that is fast assuming global and deadly proportions.
