Tobias Jones reads from The Salati Case

Castagnetti is a private detective who lost his parents and his optimism long ago. He’s impatient with the world of appearances and deceit and prefers the company of his bees to that of humans. At least bees believe in order, hard work and self-sacrifice.

Listen to three excerpts from The Salati case read by the author.
