Looking for a suspense-filled Italian crime fiction book or series? This is the first in a nine-book series.
Paperback: While Sara Farnese pores over ancient texts in the silent Vatican reading room, a brutal murder is taking place in a nearby church.
Then suddenly a crazed man arrives in the Vatican carrying a bloodied bag.
He walks up to Sara's desk.
He has something he would like her to see.
Soon Sara is inextricably linked to a series of horrific and cunning murders, each one in some way symbolizing the death of a Christian martyr.
Into this climate enter Detectives Costa and Rossi, enlisted to track down the killer, and to protect Sara from the horrors she is doomed to confront.
About the author: David Hewson was a weekly columnist for the Sunday Times before giving up journalism entirely in 2005 to concentrate on writing fiction. A Season for the Dead (2003) is the first novel in an Italian crime series set in Rome featuring Detective Nic Costa.
Hewson is also the author who recreates the Bafta-winning Danish TV series The Killing into literary form - The Killing (2012) and The Killing II (2013). Both books are available in shops now. The author lives in Kent, England.
