The eternal people of Agabiya

Aghabia, that small town resting on the slopes of the Carpathian Mountains, welcomed today a new judge, in a position that seems more ceremonial, as Aghabia is known for its tranquility, as no crime has ever been recorded there, and its residents live a life closer to heaven than earth. But soon the young judge finds himself immersed in the heart of a horrific crime, trapped by its complexities like a spider caught in its web, lost in its mysterious paths. This novel goes beyond the framework of traditional crime, delving deep into the depths of the human soul, revealing struggles of power and politics, and the contradiction that afflicts man between innocence of heart and the lust for injustice. In the background, we glimpse scenes from Romanian history, and the conflicts between social and political classes. With high narrative skill, Virgilio Giorgio crafts the events of this work, where the reader’s breath is cut off behind the judge as he chases the truth among the snow that besieges the town, so no one enters and no one leaves, and no sign points to the way of salvation. The snow, that barrier to all traces, erases every fingerprint, as if it were a mirror reflecting the town’s record free of crimes... Author: Constantin Virgilio Giorgio Number of pages: 260
