Luca Ferrini

A young man travels from New York to Switzerland to try to persuade acclaimed thriller writer Patricia Highsmith to write one final installment of her Tom Ripley series, with his efforts gradually turning more sinister.

Tracks the creation and survival of a sacred religious artifact across 500 years, weaving back and forth between a series of interconnected chapters that span across several centuries and countries including pre and post inquisition Spain, 17th-century Venice, Nazi-occupied Bosnia, and a contemporary narrative focusing on an Iraqi refugee family’s harrowing escape journey from ISIS held Mosul to safety in Europe.
