Two of Sciascia's most powerful novellas published side by side: One Way or Another is a chillingly prophetic work, while in The Knight and Death a mysterious handwritten note proves fatal
Secret deals, powerful men and murder - One Way or Another is a chillingly prophetic work. The Knight and Death features a nameless (and apparently terminally ill) detective investigating the murder of a lawyer believed to have been killed by a mysterious revolutionary group. The detective thinks otherwise and sets out to prove that powerful business interests were involved, with the revolutionary group invented to cover up the real reasons behind the murder.
Writing of the highest calibre... Both works deal unflinchingly with the dark, unspoken currents of corruption...but do so with a black wit and a sophisticated command of nuance... A writer of exceptional and rightly acclaimed skill * Observer *
Of such sophistication and intelligence that it bears little resemblance to the humble whodunnit... An ideal introduction to Sciascia's outstanding talent * The Times *
