Transferred to Naples after a tangle with the Sicilian Mafia,
Detective Inspector Giuseppe Lojacono feels that he's marking time,
waiting out an awkward scandal. But when the bloodied bodies of
teenagers start appearing around the city, victims of a strange and
sinister killer whom police and locals take to calling The
Crocodile, it soon becomes clear to Lojacono that the killings are
more than simple Mafia hits, and that the labyrinthine streets of
Naples are more deadly than he'd dared imagine. Can he catch the
assassin in time to save the city's innocents? A bestseller in
Italy, The Crocodile is a dark, bloody story of murder and revenge
that will grip and thrill you.

This is Naples as you've never seen it before. A chaotic, shadowy
city full of ominous echoes and dark alleyways where each
inhabitant seems too absorbed by his or her own problems to give a
damn about anybody else. And that is exactly what makes it possible
for a cold, methodical killer to commit his atrocious crimes
largely undisturbed, to merge with the crowd as if he were
invisible. The newspapers call him "The Crocodile" because, like a
crocodile, when he devours his own children, he cries. And like a
crocodile he is a perfect killing machine: he waits and watches
until his prey is within range, and then he strikes.
Three young people with very diverse backgrounds have been found
murdered in three different neighborhoods, each shot with a single
bullet, execution style. While his colleagues see little or no
connection, Inspector Giuseppe Lojacono, smells a rat. He is driven
by his instincts and his own troubled recent history. He has just
been transferred to Naples from Sicily where a
Mafioso-turned-informant accused him of leaking sensitive
information to the mob. Once an estimated member of the mobile unit
of the Agrigento police force, Lojacono has lost everything, first
and foremost the love of his wife and daughter. But now he's been
given a second chance and a shot at clearing his name. A young
magistrate, the beautiful Laura Piras, wants him in Naples. She's
heard of his preternatural skills and his incredible powers of
observation and she thinks a man like him is needed in Naples. So
it is that Inspector Lojacono is charged with finding the link
between the three dead bodies. At the root of these murders, he
will discover, is a pain that still burns, a sense of guilt than
cannot be purged, and one all-consuming love.
