The Few by Nadia Dalbuono

The Few by Nadia Dalbuono

Detective Leone Scamarcio, the son of a former leading Mafioso, has turned his back on the family business, and has joined the Rome police force. But when Scamarcio is handed a file of extremely compromising photographs of a high-profile Italian politician, and told to 'deal with it', he knows he's in for trouble.

'Gripping.. You won't be able to put down this unsettling tale.'

* The Sun *

‘Has Donna Leon found her match?'

-- Maxim Jakubowski * Lovereading.co.uk *

'Nadia Dalbuono is writing this with both the detachment of an outsider and the understanding of a resident. As with Donna Leon, Dalbuono clearly sees the terrible stagnation and immorality of the system ... The Few is an exciting and compelling read.'

* Crime Squad *

'[An] unsettling detective thriller set in the dark heart of the corrupt Italian political system.'

-- Chris Herde * Daily Telegraph *

'Dalbuono has a light hand with some very dark themes and has created a most engaging detective' FOUR STARS

-- Shelley Orchard * Adelaide Advertiser *

'[A] really good debut ... The plot is murky and messy, the pace is fast and the characters well drawn, conflicted and compromised.'

* Auckland Herald *

'[A] professional and confident foray into the realms of crime fiction ... This detective has many more novels in him than the modest two-volume series planned so far.'

-- Kerryn Goldsworthy * Canberra Times *

'Corruption, politics, and personal agendas combine to create a murky atmosphere of confusion and chaos. Scamarcio is a complicated character, as befits such a complex storyline ... Slow burning, slow building, but ultimately rewarding.'

-- Tessa Chudy * Good Reading Magazine *

'[A] rock-solid read, with the click-clack of shoes on cobblestones and the oppressive heat of a Mediterranean summer making for a delectable spring treat.' Crime Pick of the Month

-- Fiona Hardy * Readings Monthly *

‘Packed full of twists and turns with never a dull moment … A real page-turner.’

* Crime Review *

‘An excellent mystery and a great foundation for a new series.’

-- RuthAlice Anderson * Tonstant Weader *
