THE FIFTH DAY

Edición de la obra THE FIFTH DAY

Art thief, David Denby, was looking forward to an amusing lunch date with an old flame: the lovely Contessa Antonella. But the meeting led to an astonishing request to steal The Sindone – The Holy Shroud of Turin - icon of the Catholic church and Denby’s most ambitious theft to date. The meticulously executed crime taxes the experience and imagination of Commissario Pasetti, for whom the biggest question of all is WHY? Meanwhile, on the fringes of society, two people threaten Denby’s escape: Anna, a street urchin, who lives by picking the pockets of tourists – and a vagrant known as ‘Radio Man’. Their evidence leads the dogged Pasetti in hot pursuit across northern Italy, to the wooded shores of Lake Como. It is only as the chase closes in, that one of the shadowy figures behind the crime reveals his hand, with shocking consequences.
