"An ironic and relentless thriller. A chase that won't let you catch your breath until the last page." Carlo Lucarelli"Pure delight. Frenetic, savagely funny, this is first rate and witty entertainment" The Guardian"The dripping of blood and the angle of a broken neck are described as lovingly as the preparation of a nice eggplant parmigiana." New Yorker'A BLACK COMEDY IN THE STYLE OF QUENTIN TARANTINO' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
Leila is young, beautiful and a hustler. She makes her living drugging and robbing her clients - before or after bed, whichever is easier. Things get complicated when she ends up with a document at the centre of a plot of political blackmail. In an atmosphere of intense paranoia two secret service operatives, a goon hired by the blackmailer and the police all pursue Leila for the document and a suitcase full of dollars meant to be the pay-off. She joins forces with Francesco, a bus driver and gambling addict on the run from the Bear, a terrifying debt collector. Suitcases and blackmail notes change hands at a frenetic pace against a background of torture and murder.
