Wow, superb read and I thoroughly enjoyed this read. I had started it a long while ago and put it down due to being quite deep in other books and picked it up again last week to try an Italian crime book that wasn’t a Montalbano, Ricciardo or Bordelli. This was one heck of a read throughout and so much going on.

A great noir and it was full of twists and I gasped several times, absolutely thrilling and violent but not too voilent. It worked. Reminded me of Suburra, I think like Suburra it would make an excellent film/series. I enjoyed the characters and the relationships between them and I was expecting a few turns and double turns in the betrayals. A satisfying read and conclusion.

I believe in Italian this book is part of a longer series but sadly in English we have only this book translated, which is a shame as I would love to read more both by this author and of this series.
