Praise for the authors:'The Italy of Carlotto is a different world entirely, a dangerous setting for serious crimes committed by cruel men.' New York Times'Ammaniti has written a deft masterpiece without a false note.' Michael Dibdin'Camilleri writes with such vigour and wit that he deserves a place alongside Donna leon, along with the additional advantage of an insider's sense of authenticity.' Sunday Telegraph
Italy's best crime writers present nine gripping, often darkly humorous short-stories with settings ranging from Milan to Palermo by way of Rome and even Guadeloupe. These brilliant tales do not feature psychopathic cannibals or obscure power-mad sects but ordinary criminals: a drug-addled cosmetic surgeon, inept blackmailers and various other low-lifes lusting after easy money.
