Vango, which gives its name to the title of the novel is also the main character. His full name is actually a Latin Evengelisto which means the Evangelist, first as mysterious than is Vango's character and history ...
Vango's afraid of everything and thinks he continued. So says Bastide, a canon of the seminar where Vango studied, when the commissioner questioned Boulard. Vango's what confessing himself to Father John, his friend and confessor. But if this is not paranoia, is it foresight?
the day of his ordination in April 1935, when he was lying on the front of Notre Dame de Paris, Vango is arrested by the Commissioner Boulard. He has done nothing, his instinct told him to flee and he is right. He climbs the cathedral in front of the amazed crowd, becomes the target of a mysterious gunman police, before disappearing over the rooftops of Paris. Thus began a frantic race around the world. Vango is accused of a murder he did not commit, that of father John, and nobody can deny this reality.
Vango Who are you? That is the question that arises Inspector Boulard and that drives him to continue his investigation. But now, Vango himself does not know who he is, who his parents are or even where he comes. He failed three years on the beach of Salina, an Aeolian Sicily. He is left of his childhood as a handkerchief embroidered with a blue night large golden V, a mysterious phrase and a name Romano. He has to remember that Miss This ... by which he was found on the beach, the one who raised him, a Miss nameless memory, as mysterious as Vango itself.
Few people know Vango: father John, Zefiro, Miss Ethel, the master Eken, the mole, but what can they learn from a past that is lacking?
He was 13 when he met Zefiro, one of the monks of a monastery secretly buried in a nearby island of Salina. He was 16 when his life changed when, at the request of Zefiro, he must leave the cliffs with which he is one. He knows when the outside world that swallows and seagulls that come back. But he flew aboard the Graf Zeppelin for a tour of the world with the courageous Captain Eken who will fight tirelessly, and small Ethel whose face will never leave her thoughts more.
But after April 1935, Vango is alone. Father John died, Zefiro is wanted by the biggest arms dealer in the world. Captain Eken, Ethel and the Mole, a girl he met on Vango roofs, looking without success. Miss seems to have pretended to be suffering from amnesia, but when it begins to reveal Vango part of her story, she is kidnapped and taken to Russia. However, she had time to tell Vango his parents were murdered, giving it a new force: the revenge.
Vango, who are you? The end of this first volume we do not reveal. She snatches a Vango caressed by the soft light of Ethel finally found ...
