For some, Barcelona is a European enchantress of nouveau architecture, fusion tapas, and fine cava. To others, it’s a Gothic labyrinth of tiny streets to lose oneself in; hashish-clouded after-hours bars to forget the time; dimly lit plazas with global bohemians squatting, prostitutes tempting. But come morning, its cold cobblestones and misty beachfronts have even darker stories to tell.

Great Italian Crime Story.
- By Helen SJ on 17-02-20
Summary
The “engrossing” sequel to The Crocodile kicks off an Italian crime fiction series by the author of the bestselling Commissario Ricciardi novels. (Publishers Weekly)
They’ve made a fresh start at the Pizzofalcone precinct of Naples. They fired every member of the investigative branch after they were found guilty of corruption. Now, there’s a group of detectives, a new commissario, and a new superintendent. The new cops immediately find themselves investigating a high-profile murder that has the whole town on edge.
Heading the investigation is Inspector Lojacono, known as “the Chinaman", a cop with a checkered past who is currently riding a reputation as a crack investigator after having captured a serial killer known as “The Crocodile". Lojacono’s partner is Aragona, who wants to be known as “Serpico", but the name doesn’t stick. Luigi Palma, aka “Gigi,” is the commissario, Francesco Romano, known as “Hulk,” is the slightly self-deluded lieutenant. Lojacono, Aragona, Palma, and Romano are joined by a cast of cops portrayed by best-selling author Maurizio de Giovanni with depth and intimate knowledge of the close-knit world of police investigators. De Giovanni’s award-winning and best-selling novels, all set in Naples, offer a brilliant vision of the criminal underworld and the lives of the cops in Europe’s most fabled, atmospheric, dangerous, and lustful city.
“Colorful, fully drawn characters and several intriguing subplots help propel the plot to a satisfying resolution.”(Publishers Weekly)
“De Giovanni provides satisfyingly logical answers to every riddle.... Despite the Neapolitan setting, the crew of mismatched cops may remind you of similar teams in Sweden, New York, or Hollywood. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”(Kirkus Reviews)
