The second novel in the Inspector Bordelli series set in 1960s Florence, and this time he must race to unmask a particularly brutal killer. This is evocative, well-written crime with an undercurrent of noir, translated by Stephen Sartarelli, who also translated the novels of Andrea Camilleri. 'A real find for anyone who likes their crime novels atmospheric, discursive, humorous and thought-provoking' "Guardian"
