Description

"Know why she's smiling" he asked, pointing a small torch at the corpse. "Fish hooks. Two fish hooks at the corners of her mouth, a bit of nylon, pull it round the back of the head and tie a knot." Amaldi noticed the metallic glint at the corners of the taut mouth. Inspector Amaldi had enough problems. A city choked by a rubbish strike, a beautiful student harassed by a telephone stalker, an arson case at the city orphanage. Then the mutilated bodies begin to appear.

Reviews

"Di Fulvio exposes souls with the skills of a surgeon. It's like turning the pages of something forbidden- seductive, elegant and dangerous." Alan Rickman "A novel that caresses and kisses in order to violate the reader with greater ease." Rolling Stone "A wonderful first novel that will seduce the fans of deranged murderers in the style of Hannibal Lecter. And beautifully written to boot." RTL

Author Bio

Luca Di Fulvio, born in 1957, lives and works in Rome. His self-avowed schizophrenic nature leads him to write, with equal passion, gruesome thrillers and fairytales for children. The Mannequin Man and Dover Beach, both thrillers, have been made into films.
