Book two. The novel takes a different turn. Michele is now head of department with an affable team that I love. Piccolo, Corvu, and Coppola and other questionable characters in the hierarchy. I love the chess game of Italian politicking and reasoning to solve the case. Quintessentially Italian. I wonder if all the dots will connect...

The threads are coming together but are you ready to see the weave? It takes a bit of sharpness to see how it all comes together and balistreri is that someone! Amazing. I missed mentioning the other member of his cop team —mastroianni! So far so good...will there be justice?

Shockingly good. Raw and unfiltered view of the politics in Rome. This is what a good read constitutes: the blemished history of war and post war in Italy, the flawed reasoning in Italian procedurals due to the politicking and manoeuvring of the police, the misogyny yet also the feisty women fighting these off...it's no wonder nothing but also everything can get done only if you have the stomach for politics.
