Chock full of thrills and adventure, a drop of noir, and a little humor with a tough-as-nails hero that has all the savvy of a Travis McGee and suave demeanor of TV's Lovejoy. He chats with the reader, outwits the bad guys, pulls in the beautiful ladies, and maybe make a buck or two while he's at it. All set in the 1950s Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavide Mana was born in Turin, Italy, 1967, and lives in Castelnuovo Belbo, a 900-souls community in the hills of the Monferrato area of Northern Italy.
