SEVEN QUESTIONS FOR GOD
THE TATTOOED BASTARD
IN YOUR BLOOD
Under the sun of southern Italy, every shadow hides a secret of blood
A small Italian village becomes the macabre scene of a crime that seems inspired by an ancient ritual. Valentina Medici is found dead, bled dry with surgical precision. But here's the twist: her husband, the writer Paolo Bernini, has already seen this horror. Ten years earlier, his first wife died in the same, disturbing way.
Like a swimmer attracted by the waves of a dark sea, Commissioner Luigi Gelsomino dives into this enigma that connects the present to the past. Between the dazzling sun of Salento and the murky fogs of the North, Gelsomino tries to unravel a skein of blood and rancor, tangled by a sect of young literary men with more skeletons in the closet than books on the shelves. Each clue is a step into a vortex in which everyone is a suspect and no one seems to be truly innocent.
Welcome to the first, gripping chapter of the Inspector Gelsomino series, where the sun does not warm, but burns, and every shadow could hide the next clue... or the next crime.
Philosophy, religion, love, hate, and the path to world peace.
This irreverent novel has it all.
Seven Questions for God takes you on a hilarious ride inside an unassuming Bed & Breakfast that becomes the center of the universe overnight. The reason? God has physically manifested and is offering to answer seven questions from humanity. Part screwball comedy, part biting commentary, this book is a scathing satire of a modern world choking on the chains of political correctness.
"A curse written in ink"
Colorado, 1990s. Mike Licometti is a regular guy with a twisted secret: his body is a living map of his romantic failures. He doesn’t visit tattoo parlors; the ink just appears overnight, manifesting as grotesque, Technicolor allegories every time a relationship dies.A blasphemous crucifix for the Catholic girlfriend. A terrified face for the neurotic fling. Sad elephant eyes on his groin for the rebound he used.Terrified of being seen as a monster, Mike hides under long sleeves and cynicism, pining for Laura—the one woman he’s loved for a decade, and the one woman who ran away at the first sight of his ink. When fate drags Laura back into his life, Mike has to decide: strip down and risk it all, or keep hiding behind his scars?
Raw, hilarious, and unapologetically explicit, The Tattooed Bastard is a dark comedy about sex, guilt, and the baggage we can’t wash off. Think High Fidelity in Bukowsky's style with a supernatural kick in the teeth.
