The American by Nadia Dalbuono
Detective Leone Scamarcio is called to an apparent suicide on the Ponte Sant'Angelo, a stone's throw from the Vatican. A man is hanging from the bridge, his expensive suit suggesting yet another businessman fallen on hard times. But Scamarcio is immediately troubled by similarities with the 1982 murder of Roberto Calvi, 'God's Banker'.‘[P]its the little guy against the global forces that shaped the late twentieth and early twenty first century behind the scenes.. a taut, well constructed thriller.’
* PS News *'The American is disquieting and illuminating, I found it an utterly absorbing read.'
-- Lesley Thomson, author of The Detective's Daughter‘A rollercoaster ride … Unsettling but compelling.’
