The plot of the novel set in Cefalù

One ordinary morning, a scream shatters the daily routine of the village. Cefalù, famous for its sea and peaceful way of life, is jolted awake by some terrible news: the village’s cats have disappeared. The incident has everyone on edge.

Aaron, a curious lad, is also drawn in by the intrigue and begins to investigate. However, what at first seems like nothing more than a bit of a stunt spirals into a vortex of increasing evil. The book shows how evil comes into the world and how it begins to creep amongst people.

A book for those who love mystery and Sicily

The story combines suspense with the atmosphere of Sicily. Indeed, the settings in the novel are real places along the coast and in the area around Kalura. Anyone who has visited the area will recognise the streets, the views and the little details of village life.

In the end, Aaron and the whole community will learn a lesson that also serves as a warning: the beasts never really go away. That’s why it’s the perfect read for summer evenings or long winter afternoons.
