The Fascist Black Brigades, the officers of the S.S. and the partisans of the Italian Resistance compete for control of the city streets in bloody skirmishes.Comandante De Luca, who has proved himself and “the most brilliant investigator and ” in Bologna, but who is now unwillingly working for the Political Police in a building that doubles as a torture facility, finds himself in trouble when three murders land on his a professor shot through the eye, an engineer beaten to death, and a German corporal left to be gnawed on by rats in a flooded cellar.De Luca must rapidly unravel all three cases with ten lives on the ten Italian hostages who will face a Nazi firing squad if the corporal’s killing is not solved to the German command’s satisfaction.As he navigates a web of personal and political motivations – his life increasingly at risk – De Luca will not stop until he has uncovered the dangerous secrets concealed in the frozen heart of his city._____`One of Italy’s most acclaimed crime authors’ Barry Forshaw`The unravelling of the three cases is fraught with hazard and takes the reader on a dark journey into the terrible place that Bologna has become … not just a gripping whodunnit, but also a glimpse into the grim winter where this murder mystery is set’ Historical Novel Society`Tasked with an impossible job in a world in turmoil for which the and “noir and ” adjective seems almost inadequate, De Luca must survive on his wits and beyond in a tense race against time in a world of torn loyalties, both political and personal. The return of a much-tortured but believable character’ Maxim Jakubowski, CrimeTime`A stripped-down historical thriller loaded with tension’ La Repubblica`The Darkest Winter paints the portrait of a city devastated by war, scarred by bombs and with its poorest inhabitants living in desperation. The result is a living fresco, a snapshot of an era.
