Sobre IBD

A young woman’s murder sets off a chain of events that entangles a philosophical assassin, a charismatic detective, and the heir to a ruthless mob family. In this second edition of Bruce Crown’s debut novel, 'Chronic Passions,' readers follow the lovelorn Clark as he struggles to escape his past, while the witty Niccolò investigates the disappearance of his childhood sweetheart. Crown masterfully blurs the lines between right and wrong, weaving rich philosophical ideas into pragmatic actions within a modern setting. Through vivid similes and allegories, the narrative unfolds outside traditional concepts of time, delving into the complexities of love and justice.
