Bread

The Bastards face their hardest challenge yet...

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Sometimes it takes facing a formidable adversary to truly know one's worth. The Bastards of Pizzofalcone may have found just that: when the brutal murder of a baker rattles the city, they are ready to investigate. There's nothing they wouldn't do to prove themselves to their community.

But this time the police are divided: for the special anti-mob branch, the local mafia is doubtlessly responsible for the crime, but the Bastards are not so sure and think there may be another reason for the murder of the renowned artisan, whose traditionally baked bread attracted customers from far and wide.

A rivalry between the policeman and the magistrate is formed, one that, in the end, will extend to more than just their work lives.

Bread by Maurizio Giovanni is a gripping tale of mystery, challenging assumptions, and the quest for justice within the ever-complicated tapestry of city life.

Bread by Maurizio Giovanni is praised for being both entertaining and a compelling thriller, set in the vibrant and gritty modern-day Naples. Reviewers highlight its colourful characters and intriguing subplots, contributing to a satisfying narrative resolution. It's part of the engaging Bastards series, revolving around the murder of an artisanal baker, which appears deceptively like a Mafia hit.
