'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 an old man
makes a bequest to investigate the mysterious death of his son,
English detective Daniel Leicester follows a trail leading to one
of Bologna's wealthiest families - makers of some of the world's
most coveted supercars - and discovers that beneath the glitz and
glamour of the Formula One circuit lurk sinister interests that may
be prepared to kill to keep their secrets. Time and tide wait for
no man - or woman - and while biology obliges one of Faidate
Investigations' team to finally undergo a long-delayed operation,
history catches up with another. Shadowing a suspect along one of
Bologna's blood-red porticoes or mixing with the glitterati in the
paddock at Imola, the English detective comes to learn in Italy the
past not only has a long tail, but its sting can be deadly. 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
