    Deadly Forgery
    Francesco Benetti is a desperate man who won’t give in, even in the face of certain circumstances. He must find the money to save his wife and pay off his gambling debts. The only way he can do that is to try and sell a fake Titian painting for ten million dollars.

    The Burmese Game
    Francesco Benetti’s poker addiction matches that of a far-away drug warlord.
