Review
"Inspector Bordelli has a lot on his mind. He wonders why he's never found a great woman, he's got to cut back on cigarettes, and he should probably figure out who killed that wealthy older lady in her 17th-century villa." The New York Times
Review
"Vichi's stellar first in a new mystery series delivers a plausible solution worthy of a golden age crime novel." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Review
"Vichi shows us ever more secret and dark sides to an otherwise sunny city. But his happiest creation, in my opinion, remains the character of Inspector Bordelli.
Synopsis
Florence, October 1966. When a young boy vanishes, the police fear the worst, which brings Inspector Bordelli into an increasingly desperate investigation, in the new mystery from critics' favorite Marco Vichi.
Synopsis
Then the flood hits. During the night of November 4th the swollen River Arno, already lapping the arches of the Ponte Vecchio, breaks its banks and overwhelms the city. Streets become rushing torrents, the force of the water sweeping away cars and trees, doors, shutters and anything else in its wake.
In the aftermath of this unimaginable tragedy the mystery of the child's disappearance seems destined to go unsolved. But obstinate as ever, Bordelli is not prepared to give up.
