A Walk in the Dark

1. The second in the highly successful Guerrieri series. 2.5 million sold worldwide.

2. New edition with attractive new jacket.

3. Will appeal to readers of foreign crime. Non of the extreme violence of Stieg Larsson but similar social commentary and sense of place and time. In this case the southern province of Puglia in Italy. Instead of a violent Goth hacker we have an engagingly complex, emotional and moody defense lawyer falling in love with a nun.

4. Fans of legal procedurals and courtroom thrillers will appreciate the insight into the Italian court and prosecution system. An alien and frightening world for an American reader let alone for the unwary traveler.

5. “Raises the standard of crime fiction. Carofiglio’s deft touch has given us a story that is both literary and gritty—and one that speeds along like the best of legal thrillers. His insights into human nature—both good and bad—are breathtaking.” Jefferey Deaver.
