The first in the Aurelio Zen series and what a debut it is! Here we are introduced to our protagonist as a Commissioner sent to Perugia to investigate a kidnapping case, which ends up being quite the tangled web of scheming, double-dealing and dirty tricks. We get glimpses of Zen's resourcefulness in the face of seemingly insuperable corruption within the mechanisms of the state and how he plays that corruption to his own advantage. We see how people constantly underestimate him, much to their peril. We also see his trademark humour, often showcased through Dibdin's sparkling narration. If you like Italy and you like your protagonists with a bit of cleverness, then pick up this book.
