| Publisher Description: This second BYZANTINE REQUIEM of the Justinian era Private hard-boiled sleuth Theophilus Vardas, deals with a "delicate" subject which, unfortunately, remains until modern times, not the same as cruel perhaps but this Historical fiction Novel is not irrelevant. Children abuse and Justice are matters of all civilizations in human History. It is all fictional of course, a Noirish mystery adventure more to entertain than educate. The context is rather strong and not very sensitive but it reflects strictly personal ideas. The first part had been previously published as 14CHILDREN and the second part as NEMESIS. Since there's a continuity to the narrative, here they are presented as REQUIEM No2. Theo Vardas and his acolyte Turk are assigned a case by none else the emperor Justinian himself and the result is a ... bloodbath. Physically and mentally. Sensitive readers kindly stay away.Panic over Constantinople when young children start missing. The emperor's services unable to follow and an outside "private" help is demanded. Theo Vardas and the Turk slowly unravel a huge scandal that includes the rich, the noble and the clergy. Justinian has a very tough decision to take and he takes it. Nothing is changed. Nemesis arrives uninvited in the second part and there it is Theo Vardas who had a tough decision to take. but he's shouldered by the Turk while the emperor is shouldered by his wife and we all know it's not the same.I am an old man, inactive and with a twisted imagination, passionate lover of the Noir movies and literature, trying to overcome his boredom by writing fictional novels. Travel in Historical times with his hero, a P. I out of the same mold like all P. Is before him, unraveling the dark sides of the glorious era of the Justinian I reign withing the long History of the Byzantine empire. I am not a WRITER. Writers write books expecting people to read them and make money or a name. in other words, the write books FOR their readers. I write for myself, few might read them a definitely I'm not going to make any money out of it. Or am I ? |
