| book description |

'Dibdin's best book.' LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS 'Bawdly, suspenseful, and splendidly farcical.' ITALIAN MYSTERIES AN AURELIO ZEN MYSTERY Inspector Zen has been posted to Naples in disgrace, where he is asked to oversee the clean-up of the city's corrupt authorities. Like the rest of Italy, Naples is concerned about its image and is trying to reform itself. Zen, however, finds that someone else is already at work: corrupt politicians, shady businessmen and eminent members of the Italian Mafia are disappearing off the streets at an alarming rate. With his commitment to his work at an all-time low, Zen must still find out who is behind the murders. 'One of British crime fiction's most distinguished and distinctive voices.' ANDREW TAYLOR 'An especially witty facet of [Dibdin's] rich talent.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'Brilliant - reminds me of the TV series Inspector Montalbano, but with a better storyline.' 5* reader review 'Best one so far - surreal and funny!' 5* reader review 'One of my favourite 'comfort' reads.' 5* reader review PRAISE 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
