A new Investigation for Wehrmacht Officer Martin Bora. October 1944, in the Republic of Salò, the last fascist stronghold in the country, Bora must investigate the theft of a precious painting of Venus. While the inquiry proceeds among many difficulties, the discovery of three dead bodies throws an even more sinister light on the scene.
Caught in an unforeseeable web of events, hounded by the Gestapo, hopelessly in love with an enigmatic, real-flesh Venus, Bora must resort to all his courage and ability - not only in order to solve the mystery and expose the perpetrator, but also, in a breath-taking crescendo, to try to save himself from the firing squad.Murders, conflict with the Resistance, feuds within the SS, conspiracies within the Nazi élite, the Gestapo constructing a case against Bora, and rivalries within the Fascist élite. A triumph as a novel and a murder story. The CriticPraise for the Martin Bora seriesDark Song of Blood is historical crime fiction at its best. Sunday TimesTin Sky is the best crime novel of the month. This fine story is packed with moral ambiguity. The TimesLumen's plot is well crafted, a disturbing mix of detection and reflection.
