"A lost Italian noir classic from 1966 finally makes its way into English translation. . . A series of terse, unsentimental crime thrillers featuring Dr. Duca Lamberti, starting with this one."-Publishers Weekly "This is the first time fans of the acclaimed master of Italian noir can read this classic in English. . . Suicide, murder, and prostitution aside, there is considerable poetry in these pages."-Mystery Scene Magazine "Quotable, sparkling dialogue guarantees that this mix of crime novel and sociological study will appeal beyond the genre. A perfect choice for crime readers who like some Ellroy in their Doyle and who appreciate long stretches of breath-snatching suspense without the slightest hint of a shootout or explosion."-Booklist
