Funny, black, fast and nasty, pretty much everything you would want from a modern crime novel * Scottish Sunday Herald * 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 * Ispettore Grazia Negro thankfully remains centre stage...and Lucarelli carries over many of the fascinations of his feted first book * Time Out * Full of the tensions and atmosphere Lucarelli is so adept at creating * The Times *
