When a group of Austrian cavers exploring in the Italian alps comes across human remains at the bottom of a deep shaft, everyone assumes the death was accidental. But then the body is stolen from the morgue and the Defence Ministry puts a news blackout on the case. And is the recent car bombing in Campione D'Italia, a tiny tax haven, somehow related The search for the truth leads Zen back into the murky history of post-war Italy and obscure corners of modern-day society to uncover the truth about a crime that everyone had forgotten.
"'Crime writers don't get much better than Michael Dibdin.' Independent; 'Michael Dibdin is a Milton, it would seem, to Conan Doyle's Shakespeare.' Daily Telegraph; 'Zen is back at the height of his powers.' Scotsman"
Michael Dibdin was born in 1947, and attended schools in Scotland and Ireland and universities in England and Canada. He lives in Seattle and is the author of the internationally best-selling Aurelio Zen series, including Blood Rain and A Long Finish.
