    "description": "From the wildly inventive mind of thriller master Sandrone Dazieri, whose first novel featuring investigators Colomba Caselli and Dante Torre, Kill the Father, was an international bestseller, comes the ingenious second novel in the series, Kill the Angel.\n\nIn Rome, a high-speed train hurtles into the city\u2019s main station with a carriage full of dead bodies, the macabre discovery of which falls to Deputy Police Commissioner Colomba Caselli. Subsequently, the police receive a claim of responsibility and the threat of more murders to come. But neither Caselli nor her eccentrically brilliant ally, Dante Torre, are yet ready to buy the terrorist link.\n\nAs the two maverick investigators puncture the fa\u00e7ade of what the perpetrator wants everyone to believe, they come close to dying several times.\n\nNot for the first time, Dante\u2019s bizarre childhood, during which he was kept confined for years in a concrete silo, enables him to see what others miss, and in this case, to connect with a kindred spirit of sorts, a woman named Giltine who experienced an equally bizarre childhood from which she emerged damaged, lethal, and full of murderous intent.\n\nAdding to Giltine\u2019s eerie fierceness is that, as the victim of a rare mental illness, she believes she\u2019s already dead. She\u2019s unacquainted with fear. And that makes her the most formidable foe Colomba and Dante have faced yet.\n\nAs the story climaxes, the duo finds themselves utterly on their own, on the outs with law enforcement and the only ones with a chance to make sure the waters of Venice don\u2019t turn red with blood.",
