ISBN: 9780979233265 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

On the Eve of St. Rosalia, Count Reo Cardoni is ambushed by assassins, who inflict on him a... "The mysterious and singular appearance of Valfroni, joined with the immense deformity of his person, rendered him an object at once dreaded and avoid...
