Description:
In the Italian Criminalpol officer Aurelio Zen, Michael Dibdin has given the mystery one of its most intriguing protagonists: a man wearily trying to enforce the law in a society where the law is constantly being bent. Case in point: When the scion of a Piedmontese wine-making family is jailed for killing his own father, Zen is ordered to secure his release. The reason: A certain well-connected wine connoisseur wants to make sure that this year's vintage goes to harvest.
Expand description
As soon as Zen arrives in the town of Alba, he finds himself awash in picturesqueness, bombarded with gossip, and stalked by a mysterious telephone-caller with tantalizing clues to Zen's own past. He also -- grazie a Dio! -- discovers the considerable pleasures of Piedmontese wine and truffles. A delectable farrago of greed and vengeance, food and drink, "A Long Finish" is Dibdin at his most elegant, funny and surprising.
