‘Black Run’ is a sizzling, delightful beginning to a new crime series, already a huge hit in Italy. Inspector Schiavone, is a typical Roman – gritty, savvy, brutally and blackly humorous, and, above all, devoted to his city. Something though has gone wrong; Schiavone has crossed a line, offended a power that be. As punishment, he is reassigned to a police station, in a resort town in the Alps. He hates the cold, loathes moon books, and instantly writes off all his new colleagues as barbaric savages. He would rather risk frost bite than relinquish his much loved solid leather brogues. He can’t see how things could get worse. That is, until a horribly crushed corpse is discovered in the middle of a ski piste…Schiavone is thrown into the deep, snowy end of small town Alpine mountain life and makes rapid headway into a new world – complete with drug smuggling, people trafficking, and some rather unexpected and even amusing consequences. Alongside him, the reader is drawn into a gripping crime story, a fascinating portrait of contemporary Italy, and a thrilling new acquaintance with this new star detective.
