'Pure pleasure.' Evening Standard'An absolute treat . . . wittily and slyly written.' Euro CrimeAN AURELIO ZEN MYSTERYWhen the corpse of the shady industrialist who owns the local football team is found both shot and stabbed, Inspector Aurelio Zen is called to Bologna to oversee the investigation. Recovering slowly from surgery, and fleeing an equally painful crisis in his personal life, Zen is only too happy to take on what at first appears to be a routine and relatively undemanding assignment.But soon a world-famous university professor is shot with the same gun, and the case threatens to spin out of control . . .'The best of the Zen series. Exceptionally clever and witty.' 5* reader review'A very entertaining romp with Zen.' 5* reader review'Very funny and perceptive on Italian society. Michael Dibdin's Zen books are the top of the pile in detective fiction.' 5* reader reviewPRAISE FOR MICHAEL DIBDIN AND THE INSPECTOR ZEN SERIES:'He wrote with real fire.' IAN RANKIN'A maestro of crime writing.' SUNDAY TIMES'One of the genre's finest stylists . . . And Zen himself is a masterly creation: he is anti-heroic and pragmatic but obstinate, cunning and positively burdened with integrity.' GUARDIAN'Dibdin tells a rollicking good tale that you want both to read fast, because of its gripping storyline, and to linger over, to savour the evocative descriptions of place and mood.' INDEPENDENT'One of British crime fiction's most distinguished and distinctive voices.' ANDREW TAYLOR'Dibdin has a gift for shocking the unshockable reader.' Ruth Rendell'Zen is one of the greatest creations of contemporary crime fiction.' OBSERVER'I love the way these books capture the atmosphere and contradictions of Italy.' 5* reader review'Aurelio Zen novels are a great treat.' 5* reader review'There is no better writer than Dibdin. His books are a joy to read.' 5* reader review'Love these books . . . I am sure you will get hooked too!' 5* reader review

Recensioner i media

A first rate whodunit, which memorably exposes the dark side of Emilia Romagna.' - Ian Thomson, Sunday Telegraph Italy with all its foibles is once again expertly dissected.' - Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian 'Back to Bologna has many of the old Dibdin hallmarks: wonderful writing, wit, subtlety, a sense of mischief and exquisite cameos of Italy and Italians ... clever, readable and enjoyable and a whole lot better than most crime fiction being churned out today.' - Marcel Berlins, The Times Pure pleasure from the first page to the last.' - Mark Sanderson, Evening Standard Barely a page goes by without a big laugh. Yet there is no denying that, at heart, this is a morose novel. Zen himself may be none too healthy, but the country he polices, torn between the hollow signifiers of a past it can no longer have and the reamed out cynicism of a future it will never want, is looking more and more like the sick man of Europe. I can't wait until Dibdin takes us there again.' - Christopher Bray, Daily Telegraph One of the most readable detective thrillers of the year.' - Sainsbury's Magazine A thoroughly entertaining romp written with enormous panache.' - Allan Laing, The Herald (Glasgow) Dibdin's fiction is a multi-layered prospect of elaborate edifice, vibrant with colour and revealing a surprising depth ... likely to be one of the finest detective novels published this year ... this is a thrilling tale whose lessons linger longer than most.' - Dave Martin, Scotland on Sunday
