'There are two major stars in this book, the laconic private eye
Daniel Leicester and the city of Bologna itself. Tom Benjamin mixes
these ingredients perfectly making Italian Rules a really great
read.' Ian Moore, author of DEATH AND CROISSANTS When Hollywood
comes to Bologna, La Dolce Vita turns sweet murder... A famous
Hollywood director arrives in Bologna to remake a cult film and the
city's renown cinema archive decides to mark the occasion with a
screening of the original, only to discover it has disappeared.
After English detective Daniel Leicester follows the trail of Love
on a Razorblade to an apparent murder-suicide, he begins to suspect
there may be more at stake than missing negatives - could the film
contain a clue to one of the city's most enduring mysteries?
Together with a star from the forthcoming remake, Daniel moves from
the glamour of Venice Lido to the depths of Bologna's secret tunnel
system as a sinister network closes in and he learns some people
are ready to kill for the ultimate director's cut. Praise for
Italian Rules ' Benjamin skilfully combines a cracking crime novel
with a love letter to Italian cinema . . . Italian Rules is an
absolute treat' Trevor Wood Praise for Tom Benjamin 'The locale is
brought to life . . . the plot keeps you guessing' The Times 'A
slow-burning, tense and brooding thriller' The Herald Scotland 'Tom
Benjamin's debut novel blows the lid off a political cauldron in
which Leftist agitators, property moguls, the police and city
elders struggle for survival and dominance' Daily Mail 'It's an
immensely promising debut, which leaves the reader feeling they
really know the city.' Morning Star 'Another great crime novel set
in Bologna' Reader Review 'The mystery smolders away nicely and the
wrap-up throws some curve balls. Another indulgent offering in this
rewarding series.' Reader Review
