Riassunto

The latest Aurelio Zen mystery follows the world-weary Venetian detective to Bologna to investigate the apparently straightforward murder of a local industrialist, embroiling him a case that quickly spirals out of control and entangles him with a semiotics student, a mysterious immigrant claiming to be royalty, and Bologna's most incompetent private detective. Original. 40,000 first printing.

Recensione:

“Clever. . . . It has wit, subtlety, a sense of mischief and exquisite cameos of Italy and Italians.”–The Times (London)

“Back to Bologna is the sprightliest entry in the Zen oeuvre for a good few years...Barely a page goes by without a big laugh. . . . I can’t wait until Dibdin takes us [to Italy] again.”–Daily Telegraph

“A clever mystery. . . . Pure pleasure from the first to the last.”–The Evening Standard
