Splendid . . . one of his most inspired investigations. -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times. *

A master storyteller. - Independent. Splendid . . . one of his most inspired investigations. - Sunday Times. Varesi's talent for evoking place and time draws a politically and socially engaged picture of Italy's past. - C.W.A. Judges' Comments. Varesi's plotting is sound and his pacing good. Where he raises his game from the common crime ruck, however, is in his almost painterly evocation of a wretchedly dark atmosphere and character. He could be the long-lost heir to Caravaggio. - Glasgow Herald.
