Full of the tensions and atmosphere Lucarelli is so adept at creating

The Times

Ispettore Grazia Negro thankfully remains centre stage...and Lucarelli carries over many of the fascinations of his feted first book

Time Out

<p>Praise for <i>Almost Blue</i>:<br /><br />A brilliantly psychotic villain...a rollercoaster plot that never slows for red herrings or unnecessary verbiage, this is a compact and powerful masterpiece, and the first example we have of the Turin school of Italian noir. More, please</p>
