"'A roman noir as dark as the soul of the killer, elegant and precise writing that describes the daily tribulations of an Italian city plagued by strikes. Society falls apart, the investigation leads nowhere. And yet Amaldi works his way through a puzzle anchored in the past.' Le Point 'A wonderful first novel that will seduce the fans of deranged murderers in the style of Hannibal Lecter. And beautifully written to boot.' RTF"
