'This book provides a stimulating and original addition to our knowledge of contemporary Italy and its representation in different media. Crime in relation to Italy's history is an association which resonates amongst readers, but which is also in need for a proper contextualisation beyond cliches and prejudices. This book does so and, as a collection of fourteen separate essays, allows the term to be interpreted and studied in a range of different cases.’ Guido Bonsaver, University of Oxford
