{"product_id":"9780615783239","title":"The Angel of Numbers: Novel","description":"\"The Angel of Numbers\" is based loosely on the life of the Italian anti-Mafia crusader Judge Giovanni Falcone (en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giovanni_Falcone). Inspired by Alexander Stille's exhaustive 1995 non-fiction book, \"Excellent Cadavers,\" \"The Angel of Numbers, \" tells the story of an Italian Judge, Paolo Borromeo, who takes on the mafia in 1982 Italy after a man dressed as a monk is found dead in Milan, clutching a piece of paper with the number \"11\" on it. Soon, other cadavers start showing up, each with a number counting down to zero and each higher up in the Mafia hierarchy, while at the same time, Claudio Schiavetta, a semi-mythical mafioso, turns himself in to authorities in Sao Paolo and says we will speak only to Borromeo. What happens next is a struggle for life and death against the Italian Mafia as Borromeo tries to understand the connection between Schiavetta and the invisible Mafia war taking place in Italy.","brand":"Sophron Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013742444784,"sku":"9780615783239","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780615783239_p0.jpg?v=1763599751","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615783239","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
