About this copy
Two gripping novellas from one of Italy's finest writers, Leonardo Sciascia, brought together in a single Granta paperback. Sciascia writes crime fiction with the pace of a thriller and the resonance of poetry, and these two stories are among his most sophisticated work. The Knight and Death follows a murder that follows a dinner-party exchange of mysterious notes, while One Way or Another is a chilling, prophetic tale of secret deals in a remote cement palace.
A sturdy paperback with a striking cover image of a Palermo carrozzella against a harbour backdrop.
