Its irresistible combination of vitality, charm and criminality has made Naples a magnet for writers and film-makers for more than a century, and no one captures its flavours more vividly than Maurizio de Giovanni, whose Commissario Ricciardi novels are set in the city in the 1930s. In Nameless Serenade, the ninth book in the series, translated by Antony Shugaar, Vinnie returns home from the USA, where he has become a champion boxer - and the husband of the woman he loved and left is found dead from a single knockout blow.
To celebrate the publication of Nameless Serenade, Europa Editions UK is offering five Crime Club readers the chance to win three titles from the backlist:
- Blood Curse, translated by Antony Shugaar
- Everyone in Their Place, translated by Antony Shugaar
- The Day of the Dead, translated by Antony Shugaar
- By My Hand, translated by Antony Shugaar
- Viper, translated by Antony Shugaar
- The Bottom of Your Heart, translated by Antony Shugaar
- Glass Souls, translated by Antony Shugaar
