His first thought is to contact heronly her innocence can reassure him that his teachings have not contributed to the creation of a monster. But instead of the comforting proclamations of innocence Stasi was hoping to hear, Nina coolly alludes to her guilt. She then entrusts him with a simple task that soon turns deadly serious. A lethal game has now been put into play and nothing can stop its course.Yet matters may not be entirely as they appear. Into the story steps Domenico Starnoneauthor, retired teacher himself, character in his own fictional worldand First Execution becomes an exhilarating voyage to that murky terrain where fiction and real life mix.
