When a seemingly straightforward kidnapping case lands on his desk, Trotti quickly uncovers a web of corruption that reaches far beyond the quiet streets of his hometown. Timothy Williams writes with a cool, understated intelligence, capturing the mood of 1980s Italy — riven by terrorism, organised crime, and institutional rot — with remarkable authenticity. The novel chronicles Trotti's methodical pursuit of the truth, drawing readers into a morally complex landscape where nothing is quite as it appears. A masterclass in European crime fiction, it stands as a compelling and atmospheric debut in one of the genre's most underrated series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956435235035,"sku":"2026100006218-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2374f1ed-d30b-4387-97e2-bd6cd1c3e1ab.png?v=1783501005","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006218-secondhand-converging-parallels","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
