br. Un thriller che ha come protagonisti i "I quattro ragazzi di Liverpool". Ventiquattrore prima del concerto viene rapito Paul McCartney e giunge richiesta di un sostanzioso riscatto. Mentre la Polizia italiana e Scotland Yard divergono sulle tesi, il rapitore semina morte tra gli ignari spettatori seguendo un piano preciso. La legenda di P.I.D. ristrutturata nella favolosa Venezia. Ispirato dal concerto dei Pink Floyd del 1993, trovati alcuni articoli che narravano il tour dei Beatles in Italia, ho mescolato il tutto avendo la cura di riportare il linguaggio con cui i cronisti degli anni sessanta lo raccontavano. Il risultato che ne è uscito, è un thriller senza respiro, che non toglie il meritato spazio alla band inglese.
