Beskrivning
The fourth installment in the Rocco Schiavone mystery series from the international bestselling author, Antonio Manzini picks up three days after his last novel, Out of Season, left off, as Rocco seeks revenge for a friend—and closure for himself.Rocco is still reeling from the death of his best friend’s girlfriend, who was murdered as she slept in his bed. There’s no doubt that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and paid the ultimate price. With the identity of the hitman still unknown, a cloud lingers over Rocco, dulling his judgment and leaving this anti-hero exposed to other threats. For Rocco has stepped on one too many people’s toes over the years, namely the mafia that is still being rooted out in Aosta. To complicate matters, the kidnapped teenager that Rocco saved has not fully recovered. But all is not as it appears with that family. Her mother, father, and boyfriend are all running some sort of farce that Rocco can’t easily crack. And now he must grapple between these two parallel investigations and find answers once and for all…before one too many skeletons come after him. With the same clever insights, vitality, and humor readers have come to expect from Manzini, Spring Cleaning is another engaging, page-turning mystery.

Recensioner i media

Praise for Black Run: “In a style both colorful and ironic, Manzini proves himself a great storyteller.” — Suspense Magazine“The ranks of impressive Euro Noir novelists are swelled by the gritty Antonio Manzini…diamond-hard crime writing…. This is lacerating stuff.” — Financial TimesPraise for Out of Season: “A thriller novel as chilling as its snowy cover…Manzini gives the reader a detective who has personality and humor…The result is dramatic and arresting.  I would recommend Out of Season for readers in search of a well-woven crime thriller.” — Reading and Literature Resource BlogPraise for Spring Cleaning: “Rocco’s fourth case offers a procedural panorama with an abundance of subplots, characters, and lively dialogue. For readers new to the series, persistence will be needed, and rewarded.” — Kirkus Reviews“Rocco’s fourth case offers a procedural panorama with an abundance of subplots, characters, and lively dialogue. For readers new to the series, persistence will be needed, and rewarded.” — Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Adam’s Rib: “Manzini delivers a wonderful mix of in-depth characterization with an ever-deepening plot. Best of all, perhaps, are his descriptions (his evocation of the sounds an espresso machine makes is just one example) and his characters’ wide-ranging comments on Italian life and politics.” — Booklist“Schiavone brings the case to a solution out of Agatha Christie as satisfying as it is unexpected here… Schiavone continues to make a memorable companion in crime.” — Kirkus Reviews
