Summary:
"In un'altra vita, poco piú che ragazzi, i membri del quartetto Razumovsky avevano avuto l'onore di esibirsi davanti al Führer. Adesso, dopo piú di trent'anni di silenzio, si riuniscono per suonare Beethoven in una piccola città del Montana. Ma a pochi giorni dal concerto il primo violino muore per un colpo di pistola: chi l'ha ucciso, e per nascondere cosa? Perché il personaggio che dice «io» in questo libro, oltre a suonare il violino nel quartetto Razumovsky, durante il Reich veniva soprannominato «il Torturatore». E dopo la caduta del regime, la sua unica speranza di sopravvivere è stata scomparire nel nulla, dall'altra parte dell'Atlantico. Con un nome fittizio, Rudolf Vogel ha trovato rifugio nelle comunità tedesche del Montana, dove scrive infimi romanzetti di genere, sentendosi braccato e cercando di non destare troppi sospetti. Ben presto, però, la preda scopre di poter tornare a indossare i panni del predatore, e quando incontra i compagni del quartetto sa di dover chiudere una volta per tutte il cerchio della sua ossessione." -- abridgment of a synopsis from various websites
"In another life, little more than boys, the members of the Razumovsky quartet had had the honor of performing in front of the Führer. Now, after more than thirty years of silence, they gather to play Beethoven in a small town in Montana. But a few days after the concert the first violin dies from a gunshot: who killed him, and to hide what?... The murdered character in addition to playing the violin in the Razumovsky quartet, during the Reich was nicknamed "the torturer". And after the fall of the regime, his only hope of surviving was disappearing on the other side of the Atlantic. With a new name, Rudolf Vogel has found refuge in the German Montana communities, where he writes bad romances, feeling hunted and trying not to arouse too many suspicions. Soon, however, somebody gets revenge." -- cataloger's translation, abridgment, and interpretation of the Italian synopsis
