Revue de presse :
Italy's Maigret returns in another smouldering noir from a master of the police procedural
"A master storyteller" Barry Forshaw, Independent
A few days before Christmas, with Parma gripped by frost and fog, Ghitta Tagliavini, the elderly owner of a guesthouse in the old town centre, is found murdered in her apartment.
The case is assigned to Commissario Soneri, but the investigation holds a painful, personal element that sends waves of nostalgia sweeping through him. Tagliavini's guesthouse is where Soneri met his late wife Ada, and where the young couple spent unforgettable hours in each other's company.
But the present can embitter even the sweetest memories. An old photograph of Ada with another man sends Soneri into a spiral of despondency, ever more so when he realises her death may be linked to Tagliavina's lucrative sideline as a backstreet abortionist and faith healer.
Though Soneri would like nothing more than to be allowed to drop the case, he doggedly persists, uncovering at last, along with the truth behind Tagliavini's death, rife corruption at Parma's rotten heart and a raft of ghosts from Italy's divisive past.
Translated from the Italian by Joseph Farrell
Sinisterly atmospheric, cunningly plotted . . . Shot through with lightning flashes of sardonic humour. (Jackie McGlone Glasgow Herald.)
Excellent . . . Compellingly reveals an authentic darkness at the heart of modern Italy. (Ian Thomson Spectator.)
A master storyteller. (Barry Forshaw Independent.)
Varesi's plotting is sound and his pacing good. Where he raises his game from the common crime ruck, however, is in his almost painterly evocation of a wretchedly dark atmosphere and character. He could be the long-lost heir to Caravaggio. (Rosemary Goring Glasgow Herald.)
Varesi's talent for evoking place and time draws a politically and socially engaged picture of Italy's past. (C.W.A. Judges' Comments.)
