Fred Das: The Sponsor Part II, Gebunden

Klappentext

THIS LITERARY THRILLER BLENDS SUSPENSE, HISTORY, CHESS, AND ITALIAN CUISINE.

"Godfried Vos --- the hero of The Sponsor, Part I --- uncovers a sinister plot: the Mafia is preparing an attack on the legendary chess festival in Marostica.
Together with blind detective Gino Cancellara, he sets out to expose the truth behind the so-called Fourth Mafia, a ruthless network of drugs traffickers across Europe.
Their investigation leads deep into Italy's hidden history, where the secret Masonic lodge P2 and the clandestine Gladio network once operated as a state within a state. The landscape of The Sponsor II still bears the scars of the brutal World War II battles fought between Fascists and the Allied forces --- battles whose consequences echo into the present.
Against this charged backdrop, Godfried and Gino risk everything to confront organised crime. Their shared passions --- chess, history, and Italian cuisine --- thread through the narrative, giving this literary thriller a unique atmosphere and emotional depth.
A special appendix includes detailed analyses of the chess games featured in the story, as well as recipes for the authentic Italian dishes enjoyed by the protagonists."
