“A new voice... with which I am sure we will soon become familiar is that of Gianrico Carofiglio..."

DAILY MAIL

“Raises the standard for crime fiction. Carofiglio's deft touch has given us a story that is both literary and gritty-and one that speeds along like the best legal thrillers. His insights into human nature – good and bad – are breathtaking"

JEFFERY DEAVER

“Carofiglio writes crisp, ironical novels that are as much love stories and philosophical treatises as they are legal thrillers.”

THE NEW YORKER
