Every list has a book it was built to publish. For us, one of them is The Gabellotto’s Daughter.
DM Matthews’s I Veri series opens in Sicily in 1873 with a murder dressed as a warning — a black river stone set in a dead man’s open palms, the old sign that a matter is closed and no one will speak of it. His daughter is seventeen, and she will spend the next thirty years answering that stone. What she builds, in secret, becomes the spine of the series: not vengeance, but a patient, unshowy justice, carried mostly by the people no one thinks to watch.
It’s historical crime with the patience of literary fiction, rooted in the real Sicily of the great estates and the emigrant boats — the same crossing our imprint is named for.
Some silences take a generation to break. The Gabellotto’s Daughter is out now, eBook and paperback → books2read.com/u/mqY6NO or on Amazon paperback and kindle editions. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1066795320
