UNA SPIRALE DI NEBBIA

Una Spirale Di Nebbia (A Spiral of Mist) 
 by Michele Prisco     
(La Biblioteca KCIC #100) 

Michele Prisco is a renowned author who set his novel in southern Italy.  A movie was made from the novel in 1977 but, chances are, the book is better as it remains true to the author’s original intention of a story from the South. 

La Storia: 

Fabrizio Sangermano, appartenente a una delle piu potenti famiglie della provincial napoletana, ha veramente ucciso sua moglie Valeria, or e stata una disgrazia, un incidente di caccia?  Qual era la realta del loro matrimonio dietro l’ovvia facciata di rispettabilita e di agiatezza?  La morte di Valeria libera, in una reazione a catena, iconflitti e le angosce di tutte le persone coinvolte.  

Translation of several reviews: 

This novel is described as a psychological thriller.  A woman is killed during a day of hunting, but was this just an accident or is there more to discover?  There are family connections, unhappy couples and no obvious motive for a murder.  Was it the illusions of love, of power or a rich woman?  “The plot thickens.”
