Synopsis

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CRIME WRITERS' ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL DAGGER 2013.

Set in Florence in the 1960s, this is the third in the Inspector Bordelli series of atmospheric Italian crime.

Florence, 1965. A man is found murdered, a pair of scissors stuck through his throat. Only one thing is known about him - he was a loan shark, who ruined and blackmailed the vulnerable men and women who would come to him for help.

Inspector Bordelli prepares to launch a murder investigation. But the case will be a tough one for him, arousing mixed emotions: the desire for justice conflicting with a deep hostility for the victim. And he is missing his young police sidekick, Piras, who is convalescing at his parents' home in Sardinia.

But Piras hasn't been recuperating for long before he too has a mysterious death to deal with . . .

Loved this book, the third in Italian author Marco Vichi's series set in 1960s Florence, Italy. Wry Inspector Bordelli and his cronies are back in a novel that calls on dark memories of the war and Fascism in Italy. All is leavened with great dollops of droll humor and companionable, lengthy dinners......more

Goodreads review by Sifra on January 02, 2014

The third book of Inspector Bordelli is not to be read for a good whodunnit. The book treats more the question of right and wrong and the moral answer to that question. Nontheless the picture the writer paints for us of 1965 Italy is perfect! The characters in the book are given depth, and thoughts......more

Goodreads review by Tripfiction on December 31, 2014

Crime novel set in Florence and Sardinia (an Inspector Bordelli mystery…) A book that starts on the 12th December 1965, and ends on the 31st December 1965 – so an ideal one for me to have read over the Christmas period. And a book with a slightly misleading / abbreviated title… there are actually two......more

Goodreads review by Padmin on October 14, 2022

Non c'è che dire: l'italica provincia addormentata, setacciata nelle sue più riposte pieghe geografico-antropologiche, resta tuttora il fertile terreno d'ispirazione della nostra recente narrativa. Che il giallo si sia involontariamente sostituito al neorealismo è un altro incontestabile dato di fat......more
