When seventeen-year-old Giovanna Galbo finds her father murdered on the church bench at dawn - a black river stone set in each open palm - the whole town understands the message and no one dares repeat it. Her father was the gabellotto, the broker whose records could make or unmake a family. Someone forced those records to lie, and killed him to keep the lie buried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiovanna buries her grief instead of her suspicions. Over the years that follow she becomes something Sicily has no name for and no defence against: a woman who moves through the merchant houses of Palermo unremarked, gathering what powerful men let slip in front of a person they never think to fear. Quietly, patiently, she builds a network of the wronged and the watchful - I Veri, the True Ones - who leave a white stone where the powerful leave a black one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning three decades, The Gabellotto's Daughter is a historical crime novel about silence and its cost, about the slow architecture of justice, and about a woman who refuses to look away.
