Summary

Bologna: city of secrets, suspicion...and murder.

When the body of a radical protestor is found floating in one of Bologna's underground canals, it seems that most of the city is ready to blame the usual suspects: the police.  

But when private investigator Daniel Leicester, son-in-law to the former chief of police, receives a call from the dead man's lover, he follows a trail that begins in the 1970s and leads all the way to the rotten heart of the present-day political establishment.  

Beneath the beauty of the city, Bologna has a dark underside, and English detective Daniel must unravel a web of secrets, deceit and corruption - before he is caught in it himself.

A dark and atmospheric crime thriller set in the beautiful Italian city of Bologna, perfect for fans of Donna Leon, Michael Dibdin and Philip Gwynne Jones.

Insight

Loved it and it was interesting to learn about Italian Politics whether true or not. Great narration.

British detective gets into all sorts of murkiness and deals with a stroppy teenager in Bologna

Actually my heading probably sums it all up! The crime is suitably messy and twisty, the relationship with the daughter feels authentic and I enjoyed it.

Narrator too fast.

The narrator sounds like he has a train to catch, had to keep going back to listen again. Not finished it yet but will find it hard to reach the end because of this. Pity because otherwise good
