Critics Review
‘Carofiglio raises the standard for crime fiction. His insights into human nature are breathtaking.’
‘Carofiglio raises the standard for crime fiction. His insights into human nature are breathtaking.’ – Jeffery Deaver
‘As exacting and contemplative as any crime writer I can think of.’ * Washington Post *
‘Carofiglio’s engaging main character…Fenoglio is a sensitive, polished figure who has managed to keep his idealism intact in a career meant to break it; he is as comfortable philosophising as he is citing the public safety code.’ * Kirkus Reviews *
‘Gianrico Carofiglio offers an unusually detailed and fascinating portrait, far beyond the clichés of crime families and godfathers… along with a contrasting portrait of how the criminal organization and the police define and control reality.’ * LA Review of Books *
‘A tale of intrigue and plot in Puglia is more than a Mafia vs cop thriller. It is a wonderful portrait of Italy’s south today.’ * Evening Standard , Best Books of 2018 *
