Crimini by Giancarlo De Cataldo

Crimini by Giancarlo De Cataldo

Italian crime writing is replacing that of Scandinavia as the fastest growing in the genre. The huge success of Niccolo Ammaniti, followed by the Gabriele Salvatore film of the same name took the UK by storm. Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalban series (Picador), Carlo Lucarelli's Almost Blue (Vintage) and carte Blanche (Europa) and Massimo Carlotto's The Good-bye Kiss (Europa) are further evidence of this surge. These authors, and others, are represented in this volume, which contains nine gripping and often darkly hilarious stories.

Praise for the authors:'The Italy of Carlotto is a different world entirely, a dangerous setting for serious crimes committed by cruel men' New York Times'Ammaniti has written a deft masterpiece without a false note.' Michael Dibdin'Camilleri writes with such vigour and wit that he deserves a place alongside Donna leon, along with the additional advantage of an insider's sense of authenticity.' Sunday Telegraph
