Mink Paperback - 2008

From the publisher

So many eyes in the dark. Eyes that change from moment to moment. Closed eyes that can't see anymore. Frightened eyes that don't scream anymore. Half-closed eyes that don't care anymore. Angry eyes that can't fight anymore. In their enclosures, they wait quietly. Parents clutch their children. Males clutch their females. Some have no one left to clutch, so they clutch the wire mesh that imprisons them. They know where they are. They know what happens here. Count Zeto Pantaleone Ulderico is a pampered and coddled mink noble whose spoiled and privilege life comes to a screeching halt when he and his cousin, Muccino, are trapped and taken by Guiseppe Tucci to his mink farm. Plagued with night blindness and no ability to track or scent, Zeto can no longer depend on his name or position. With the aid of the beautiful mink named Ardrianna and a cast of fellow cellmates, they attempt an escape in hopes of obtaining freedom before they become articles of fashion in Milan's haute couture. Set in Italy's Apennine Mountains, Mink, is a stirring tale of adventure, courage and the quest for survival. It follows this very special mink on his journey through harrowing trials posed by adversaries and predators. It is about pathways and bridges that must be crossed against incredible odds.
