The Italian-Swiss writer Joseph Incardona has accustomed us to crazy intrigues with novels like Heat, where two competitors competed to the extreme at the World Sauna Championship in Finland. In Solid bodieshe took us behind the scenes of a game show in France, where the winner would be the competitor who kept his hand on the vehicle to win the longest.
Her unbridled imagination takes us on a journey here to Georgia, in the South of the United States, in the footsteps of a young prostitute who performs miracles when she sleeps with her clients. When the Holy See learns of his miraculous cures, it tasks two twin brothers – and fearsome serial killers – with eliminating him. Helped by a priest (and ex-Navy Seal) to escape, she is plunged into the heart of a chase which leaves many collateral victims on the road, while an ambitious journalist in search of the Pulitzer Prize tries to find her to interview her.
Quite entertaining, Stella and America is the kind of novel that we would see very well brought to the big screen – in the genre of those American comedies with wacky scenarios like Pineapple Express. But it is certainly not a title that will stay in the memory for long or that will win the author new readers, although it was selected among the five finalists of the Grand Prix RTL-Read MagazineIn France.
