Agony (Italian Crime Writers) - Hardcover

Agony is the first English-language translation of Federico De Roberto's Spasimo," a psychological-detective novel that marks the first time an author with Sicilian connections penned a detective story in the procedural manner from crime to conclusion. De Roberto brings together a diverse set of characters - including two Russian anarchists and a melancholy young poet - each struggling with a complex moral dilemma. De Roberto uses a multiplicity of techniques to portray their issues. In this complex scenario, the judge called to investigate the death of Countess Fiorenza d'Arda has to determine whether it was murder or suicide. He works on shifting ground as each new revelation uncovers another aspect of the case, another moral quandary shedding new light on the motivations of the central characters"--
