    About this audiobook

    Book 3 in de Giovanni’s bestselling "Bastards of Pizzofalcone" series is set in contemporary Naples during season of cold winds, political hijinks, and murder.
    A heinous, double murder in a squalid apartment on the wrong side of town pits Inspector Lojacono, Di Nardo and the rest of the motley collection of cops known as the “bastards” of the Pizzofalcone precinct against their superiors, the press, and the local political hierarchy. Only by bringing the killer to justice can they save their reputations and the department.
    De Giovanni is one of the most versatile, prolific, and successful Eurpean mystery in Europe. His award-winning and bestselling novels, all set in Naples, offer a brilliant vision of the criminal underworld and the lives of the cops in Europe's most fabled, atmospheric, dangerous, and lustful city.

    Editor's Note

    Hard-boiled crime…

    The third book in Maurizio de Giovanni’s series is centered around another gruesome murder in the underbelly of Naples, this time a double homicide that has the “bastards” — including Inspector Lojacono — in a standoff against the local powers that be. If Lojacono and his crew can’t solve it, their reputations as the hardest crime solvers in town won’t make it either. For fans of hard-boiled crime novels, this series always delivers.

      Fantastic. Excellent mystery where the clues actually are clues and the final result could possibly be guessed at but probably not until close to the end even for a veteran mystery solver. Excellent characters. I care about them. There is deepness between the lines but I can’t explain it it’s too hard.
    • 4/5
      I love this series, and it’s very well read by Chris Keyser, except for his continual mispronunciation of key Italian words and names such as trattoria, Cesare, Giovanni (although his accent is great!)
