On a Friday night, off the island of Giglio. The gigantic cruise liner Costa Concordia crashes onto the rocks following a madcap manoeuvre, a sail-past. Captain Schettino flees. Captain De Falco shouts at him to get back on board. And a host of little acts of great courage. What really happened in those sixty-eight minutes? This book presents the people, the details and the documents from a tragic tale that still holds many mysteries. A book that weaves narrative with investigation.
