Darkness for the Bastards of Pizzofalcone
Darkness for the Bastards of Pizzofalcone | Maurizio de Giovanni
4 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
A kidnapped child and the burglary of a high-class apartment: two crimes that seem to have no connection at all until Inspector Lojacono, known as "The Chinaman," starts to investigate. De Giovanni is one of the most dexterous and successful writers of crime fiction currently working in Europe. His award-winning and bestselling novels, all set in Naples, offer a brilliant vision of the criminal underworld and the police that battle it in Europa's most fabled, atmospheric, dangerous, and lustful city. The Bastards of Pizzofalcone is a new series set in contemporary Naples that draws inspiration from Ed McBain's 87th Precinct novels and features a large cast of complicated cops doing battle with ruthless criminals."

A group of misfit police in Naples isn't really the group of screw-ups and losers everybody's thinks they are. Maybe, in spite of their failings and flaws, they're heroes after all.

Really good Italian noir!

ImperfectCJ It occurs to me that until this post, I was entirely unaware of Italian noir as a genre. I might need to check some out! Welcome to Litsy! 5y
