Summary

Spring, 1967. The trail of tragedy and destruction that followed the previous winter’s flood seems to have died down; Florence is beginning to recover.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

A real find for anyone who likes their crime novels atmospheric, discursive, humorous and thought-provoking. - Guardian

[Italian] writers are justifiably growing in popularity here: Marco Vichi deserves to be among them … [Bordelli] is stubborn, womanless, cynical and impatient, but strangely appealing. - Marcel Berlins, The Times

Over the course of his police procedurals, Vichi shows us ever more secret and dark sides to an otherwise sunny and open city. But his happiest creation, in my opinion, remains the character of Inspector Bordelli, a disillusioned anti-hero who is difficult to forget. - Andrea Camilleri

Vichi’s stellar first in a new mystery series introduces endearingly melancholic Inspector Bordelli … [and] delivers a plausible solution worthy of a golden age crime novel. Readers will look forward to seeing more of this flawed hero. - Publishers Weekly, starred review for DEATH IN AUGUST
