Mind Body Spirit

Michael Kitchen reads this complete, full-length "Aurelio Zen" novel by bestselling author Michael Dibdin. Fresh from the successful investigation of a series of crimes in Naples, Aurelio Zen is given another unorthodox assignment: to release the jailed scion of an important wine-growing family who is accused of a brutal murder. Zen travels to Piedmont, where amongst the quiet fields, autumnal skies and crumbling farmhouses, he must try to penetrate a traditional culture in which family and soil are inextricably linked. Here secrets can last for generations, and have a finish as long and lingering as that of a good Barbaresco. As Zen struggles to dig up long-buried truths, he must also face up to mysteries from his own past...This is a complete and unabridged reading by Michael Kitchen.
