English Title: The Signora's Diary

Fascists in Italy today are dressed as businessmen, passing themselves off as men of the world who have nothing to do with the ›bad old days‹. But the past cannot be denied, and there are still people whose memories remain unadulterated. Like Signora Brandini. In her diary, she documented the events that took place back then, in September 1943, at Meina on the Lago Maggiore – how the massacre of civilians came about and who was responsible. She was 17 at the time and could only look on as her friends were murdered before her. But she is not only tormented by her memories – her suffering is even greater as she knows that the guilty have never been brought to justice. That is why she wants her diary to be published. It is not to a journalist that the Signora entrusts the matter, but to an artist – Frank Veronese. A dangerous undertaking, because those involved have no wish to be portrayed as criminals. With all of the resources at their disposal, they attempt to stop the diary being made public.

»Liaty Pisani is the legitimate successor to the great spy thriller authors like John le Carré and Raymond Chandler.«Brigitte

»Time and again, literary critics are surprised that women can write spy thrillers. Above all, they marvel at Liaty Pisani. What makes her books stand out from the crowd is Pisani’s thorough research into contemporary events.«Emma
