Description
On 11 July 1982, Elisa Sordi was beautiful. Commissario Michele Balistreri was fearless. Italy was victorious. A killer was waiting . . . On 9 July 2006, with Sordi's case twenty-four years cold, and Balistreri haunted by guilt and regret, Italian victory returned. And so did Sordi's killer . . . But this time Michele Balistreri would be ready. This time he would fear no evil.
Advance Praise
[A] sprawling tale of personal and political corruption, expediency and revenge' Guardian.
'An ambitious book in which the corruption of the state, the police, business and the remnants of the aristocracy [...] are implicated in an effort to relate individual experience to the condition of the nation' Times Literary Supplement.
'Sprawling, violent and beset by a tortured morality, this is a compelling vision of modern Italy' Mail on Sunday.
'Compelling drama ... The gripping strength of the novel lies in its passionate portrayal of a corrupt and criminal Italy, from seedy traffickers to the Vatican' The Times.
'Utterly compelling' Peter May.
