The book of hidden things / Francesco Dimitri. 1st ed. London : Titan Books, 2018. 385 p. ; 21 cm. An enthralling fantasy following four old friends and the secrets they keep. Four old school friends have a pact: to meet up every year in the small town in Puglia they grew up in. Art, the charismatic leader of the group and creator of the pact, insists that the agreement must remain unshakable and enduring. But this year, he never shows up. A visit to his house increases the friends' worry - Art is farming marijuana. In Southern Italy doing that kind of thing can be very dangerous. They can't go to the Carabinieri so must make inquiries of their own. This is how they come across the rumurs about Art - bizarre and unbelievable rumors that he miraculously cured the local mafia boss's daughter of terminal leukemia. And among the chaos of his house, they find a document written by Art, "The Book of Hidden Things," that promises to reveal dark secrets and wonders beyond anything previously known. 20180716.
