    The author of the Commissario Ricciardi series "manages to conjure up the terrifying darkness at the heart of a serial killer in this chilling procedural" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).The chaotic, shadowy city of Naples proves the perfect hunting ground for a killer dubbed "The Crocodile" by the press. Like a crocodile, when he devours his own children, he cries. And like a crocodile he is a perfect killing machine: He waits and watches until his prey is within range, and then he strikes.Three young people with very diverse backgrounds have been found murdered in three different neighborhoods, each shot with a single bullet, execution style. While his colleagues see little or no connection, Inspector Giuseppe Lojacono, smells a rat. Once an esteemed member of the mobile unit of the Agrigento police force, Lojacono was accused of leaking sensitive information to the mob and has now lost everything-first and foremost the love of his wife and daughter. But now he's been given a second chance and a shot at clearing his name. A young magistrate has heard of his preternatural skills and his incredible powers of observation and she thinks a man like him is needed in Naples. So it is that Inspector Lojacono is charged with finding the link between the three dead bodies. At the root of these murders, he will discover, is a pain that still burns, a sense of guilt than cannot be purged, and one all-consuming love."A wonderfully suspenseful novel in which de Giovanni restores life to the cliché of the world-weary detective." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"Offers an elegant narrative and vividly rendered characters. It's genuinely seductive." -Booklist

    The seventh Commissario Ricciardi historical mystery is ';an intricately layered whodunit set in Fascist Naples... A richly textured story' (Kirkus Reviews). In the middle of a summer heat wave, as Naples prepares for one of its most important holy days, a renowned surgeon falls to his death from the window of his office. For Commissario Ricciardi and Brigadier Maione it is the beginning of an investigation that will bring them into contact with the most torrid, conflicting, and enduring of human passions. In the world Ricciardi and Maione are about to enter, infidelity appears inextricable from the most joyful expressions of love, and, this interdependence sows doubt and uncertainty in both men, compromising their own attempts at love. Ricciardi is one of the most intriguing and unique figures to appear in crime fiction in recent years. He possesses the dubious gift of being able to see and hear the last seconds in the lives of those who have suffered a violent death. This ability makes him an unusually effective investigator but plagues him and renders human relationships almost impossible. He is a classic noir hero and the cursed son of a city that, for all its Mediterranean splendor, is a perfect noir city. In this new installment in the Commissario Ricciardi series, Maurizio de Giovanni creates a large cast of unforgettable characters and a compelling, suspenseful plot that demonstrates once more why he is considered one of the best crime writers working today. ';Complex, lyrical... A searing look at the tortured soul of the lead makes this entry especially memorable.' Publishers Weekly (starred review)
