Description
Book SynopsisA professional killer is at large in the cities of Italy. Code-named ''Pit Bull'', he is a master of disguise and an expert with weapons. He modifies his guns and his bullets are untraceable. His skill with prosthetics, wigs and makeup means that no two victims witness the same terrifying final vision. This is a hunt for a man with no face. Only the picture of a pit bull terrier left behind at each murder can link the crimes. Day after day, Ispettore Negro works on her seemingly impossible case. But when a young man unwittingly encounters Pit Bull in an internet chat room, he provides Negro with the clue that could lead her to her target.
Trade ReviewFull of the tensions and atmosphere Lucarelli is so adept at creating * The Times *
Ispettore Grazia Negro thankfully remains centre stage...and Lucarelli carries over many of the fascinations of his feted first book * Time Out *
Praise for Almost Blue:
A brilliantly psychotic villain...a rollercoaster plot that never slows for red herrings or unnecessary verbiage, this is a compact and powerful masterpiece, and the first example we have of the Turin school of Italian noir. More, please
-- Maxim Jakobowski * Guardian *
Funny, black, fast and nasty, pretty much everything you would want from a modern crime novel * Scottish Sunday Herald *
