THE NIGHT OF THE BRIGADE
FORMER AVENGER PARTISANS, MINISTER SCELBA, PLOTS OF THE FORMER REGIME AND SPIES
IN AN INVESTIGATION BY COLONEL MARI WITH INCREDIBLE OUTCOMES
The incipit of the novel
The drizzle was tapping on the strip of asphalt of the Regina road when the partisan Arno looked with satisfaction at the work done: the tree trunk laid across between the embankment towards the mountain and the parapet overhanging the lake would prevent any vehicle from passing in either direction, an insurmountable barrier. The cold air of the uncertain spring bit his fingers, clenched around the machine gun aimed at the middle of the road. How long he would have to wait he could not predict, none of the comrades scattered around knew. Not even Brigadier Buffelli had been precise when he ordered the roadblock to be set up. Since Mussolini had left Milan on the evening of April 25th, all kinds of news had spread, many conflicting, some unbelievable.
A dangerous mission
For a highly confidential assignment from the Minister of the Interior, Colonel Mari, together with Lieutenant Barbetti, investigates a dangerous group of former partisans known as "the avengers": a delicate mission unfolds with surprising discoveries, constant lurking dangers, and plots of unsuspected shadows.
