Críticas:

'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 'Three cheers for an absolute delight! ... The strength of the novel is the in-depth portrayal of the characters ... The descriptions of the sounds and smells of the Tuscan summer are so vivid that you think they are real. The food is to die for. I can't wait to read the next one.' -- www.shotsmag.co.uk on DEATH IN AUGUST [The Inspector Bordelli books] feature a fascinating cop and disillusioned anti-hero who rails against both injustice and the corrupt system but faces classic murder cases with a familiar Christie-like ring -- Maxim Jakubowski 'This is a promising start to a series' -- Literary Review on DEATH IN AUGUST Fuses social commentary with fine cuisine and serves it up on a charming bed of criminality, and is a creditable advert for Italian crime fiction ... definitely one to savour. -- www.bookgeeks.co.uk 'Bordelli damaged by his wartime experiences, is a difficult person to like but he's an interesting antihero.' -- Good Reading

Reseña del editor:

April 1964, but spring hasn't quite sprung. The bad weather seems suited to nothing but bad news. And bad news is coming to the police station. First, Bordelli's friend Casimiro, who insists he's discovered the body of a man in a field above Fiesole. Bordelli races to the scene, but doesn't find any sign of a corpse. Only a couple of days later, a little girl is found at Villa Ventaglio. She has been strangled, and there is a horrible bite mark on her belly. Then another little girl is found murdered, with the same macabre signature. And meanwhile Casimiro has disappeared without a trace. The investigation marks the start of one of the darkest periods of Bordelli's life: a nightmare without end, as black as the sky above Florence.
