This is the second in the De Luca trilogy. Again, it is a book that uses a mystery framework to offer a slice of Italian history, this time set just after WW2 and the fall of Mussolini. Commissario De Luca is on the run and hiding his identity, fearing reprisals for his time in the secret police. He is discovered and he must help solve a crime in exchange for his release. The shifting morals and allegiances are quite interesting. #europacollective
