The Dark Comedy by Giacomo LaMantia delves into secret
societies and the connection between dreams and waking life. Does might ever make
right? Does using force to achieve a greater good make even murder acceptable?
Mathew Lenz works for a secret society called The Circle. Known for making money to
fund good causes, The Circle also has a nastier and more brutal way to get things done.
When Lenz finds himself embroiled in a series of murders targeting his fellow agents, he
wonders if he could be next. But who would want him dead and why? And what is the
true nature of the organization he works for? As his dreams begin to veer into nightmares,
he begins to wonder whom he can trust and whether his dreams could actually solve the
mystery and stop the murders.
Inspired by the author’s overseas travels and experiences, The Dark Comedy is a
gorgeously written drama which journeys deep into the mind of a man who is
manipulated and betrayed at every turn. Eerie, smart and suspenseful, The Dark Comedy
is a thinking person’s entertainment.
It was a hot summer in Vienna. Mathew Lenz had just woken up from a long night of drinking and a bad dream; or so he thought. His head and body ached all over. Worse still was that he dripped of sweat and reeked of the gin he drank last night. He reached for a cigarette on the nightstand next to his clock and cell phone. Having a cigarette was his
morning post-drinking ritual. Mathew slowly rubbed his eyes.
His cell phone was vibrating still. Mathew realized that he must have missed several calls due to the excess of last night. Shit, he thought as reached for his phone. Mathew had missed four messages and calls; they were from Katje Braun, his boss.
He listened to the messages, each one sounding of greater importance. Mathew. Call me! We have a situation developing. We need your help right away!
The third book in the funny Silver Sisters Mysteries series. The twins and their 80 year-old mother and uncle get into trouble sleuthing in Sin City.
