"Aurelio Zen is temporary police chief in Cosenza, when Peter Newman, an advance scout for an American movie company is murdered. It turns out that Peter was previously Pietro Ottavio, from a wealthy local family. A local shady lawyer, Nicola Mantega, was involved in the kidnapping, and meets the son of the victim, Jake, and Martin Nguyen from the company. Jake becomes translator for Nguyen. The movie company is really looking for ancient artifacts; Jake falls in love with the undercover police woman, and Martin coninues his nefarious deeds. The book is written with humor."
"A typical Aurelio Zen book - starts slowly, plot thickens, writer's style delightfully odd. So sad that Dibdin died and can bring us no more Aurelio Zen. I recommend you read them all, from book one to the last."
"I actually really enjoyed this book up to page 287. Often hilarious, interesting plot twists but this time, unlike previous Zen novels, the plot lines were clear and straight forward. I was looking for a satisfying ending to tie them together and bring the various actors and their stories to a close but instead the author has Zen miraculously concoct a story to a minor thug that turns out to be exactly true. Said thug then reports the story to his boss who then gets nicely rounded up in a sting. What a cheap and disappointing ending to an otherwise enjoyable and quite funny book."
"Het laatste deel uit de Zen-reeks, tevens het laatste boek dat Dibdin schreef, zoekt donkerder oorden op een hoort bij het beste uit de reeks. Een genadeloos portret van het moderne Italië. (****)"
