From the Jacket Flap: "A novel of quality, "The Inquest" is the gripping, emotional drama of Bibiana Santis, a passionate young woman who, in her fanatical hatred of fascism, was willing to sacrifice anything and everything to fight it - and found sex her most dynamic weapon...A strong, impassioned writer, Mr. Neumann has something important to say here, and he says it with powerful, bitter force, using an original technique absorbing different from anything yet to appear in contemporary fiction."
