In an elegant apartment in a chilly Alpine town a cleaning lady makes a gruesome discovery: the body of her employer hanging from a chandelier in a dark room in an apparent suicide. Working the case is Deputy Police Chief Rocco Schiavone, banished from his beloved Rome to snowy, small-town Aosta. An incurable cynic, perpetually at war with the world – and the weather – Rocco is unconvinced that Esther killed herself.Armed with his intuition and his inimitable brand of morality, he begins to hunt for a killer.

But as he digs deeper into Esther’s life Rocco is increasingly troubled by personal matters: his dissatisfied girlfriend Nora; the very vocal memory of his deceased wife, Marina; and a score that still needs settling back in Rome.

Industry Reviews

Praise for the Rocco Schiavone Mysteries:

`At last a detective who's not haunted by personal demons or soaked in booze - but who glories in his job of solving crimes. He would not be out of place in a James Ellroy masterpiece. The tale is deftly told with sharp, cynical dialogue. Let's hear more of Schiavone' Daily Mail

`An Italian detective to rival Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano' GQ

`An arresting murder mystery' Monocle

`Diamond-hard crime writing ... this is lacerating stuff' Barry Forshaw, Financial Times
