Gianrico Carofiglio

tr. Howard Curtis

The Cold Summer

Published by: Bitter Lemon Press

This is an important book, focusing on the true story of the Mafia War in which a number of magistrates were killed by car bombs. Carofiglio is himself an experienced magistrate and knows the ropes. This looks like, but may not be, a new series with Marshall Pietro Fenoglio.
