The Good Thief's Guide To Venice - Plot & Excerpts
To this end, I’d spent many hours at the planning stage, breaking down Faulks’ strengths and then using those components to build an adversary who was more powerful in every department. I ended up with the character of Don Giovanni, a seven-foot-tall, six-teen-stone Mafia godfather with a network of enforcers and crooks throughout Italy and beyond. Don Giovanni lived in a heavily guarded villa on the shores of the Lido, from where he oversaw his extensive criminal enterprises. A chess grand master, a dab hand at Shaolin Kung Fu and a champion breeder of Argentine Dogo fighting dogs, he was the most complete enemy Faulks had ever had the misfortune to come up against. In short, I knew everything I could care to know about The Godfather of the Veneto, and the threat he represented. So, on reflection, it was hard for me to ignore the fact that I knew next to nothing about my own aggressor. Most importantly, I had no idea what was in the attaché briefcase Graziella had given me, or whether anything she’d told me about returning it happened to be true.
