Publisher Description
Kommissar Aurelio Zen steht vor einem Rätsel: ein vierfacher Mord in der festungsartig ausgebauten Villa eines reichen Sarden, in die eigentlich niemand unbemerkt eindringen kann. Ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit? Nicht nur die Leichen bezeugen das Gegenteil. Die Bluttat ist verewigt, da es zu den Gepflogenheiten des Hausherrn Oscar Burolo gehörte, sein Leben auf Video aufzuzeichnen – jetzt dokumentiert die Anlage seinen Tod. Als Aurelio Zen mit den Ermittlungen in Sardinien beginnt, findet er sich in einer brutalen, abweisenden Welt wieder.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Corruption in high places, underworld skulduggery and a vendetta among mountainfolk are ingredients for murder in this literate, suspenseful thriller. An intruder guns down an eccentric Sardinian billionaire, his wife and two guests in his seemingly impregnable villa. Enter befuddled Venetian inspector Aurelio Zen, last encountered in Dibdin's Ratking. Zen, who has a perfunctory love life, a half-senile, bad-tempered mother and an intuitive faculty sometimes worthy of his name, now works for an Italian government ministry in Rome. He's dispatched to Sardinia to get the chief suspect, a politician's friend, off the hook. Two crazies want Zen rubbed out: a just-released convict whom he'd sent to jail years ago, and the killer, whose lyrical, half-mad ramblings punctuate the narrative--of course, the two could be the same person. Spinning a plot as convoluted as Sardinia's winding streets, Dibdin illuminates a deeply corrupted society and ultimately vindicates his hero, who outmaneuvers the supercops trying to silence him.
