Review
'Fascinating mix of Christie-like whodunit and spooky thriller set in 1931 Naples.' --Shots Magazine
'A brilliant example of noir that drifts pleasingly into black comedy at times. A delicious blend of murder, love affairs, commentary on working in a totalitarian state with terrible poverty existing alongside ostentatious wealth; and with that green-eyed monster jealousy playing a large part, this is the best book of the trilogy so far.' --Crime Scraps

He sees and hears the final seconds in the lives of victims of violent deaths. It is both a gift and a curse.
