Magdalen Nabb
The Monster of Florence

Published by Diogenes as Das Ungeheuer von Florenz

After all the years that Marshal Guarnaccia has commanded the Carabinieri Station housed in Florence's Pitti Palace, great paintings are as familiar a part of his life as the snarled-up traffic. Still, if he joins battle with a successful forger, it is only as a favour to an old friend - and because the man fascinates him. Then he is dragged into a last-ditch attempt to nail a serial killer, only to find himself faced with a forgery in his own line of business, where the issues prove distressingly familiar. Nobody wants to know the truth about a fake. And if a false case is made against the wrong man, who is going to admit it?

»A haunting thriller where past and present collide, where ambition brutalises those who have most need of compassion and where lies are often more credible than truth.«Manchester Evening News

»Nabb's account of the details is freshly horrifying, as are many of the characters who people the book. The vicious, incestuous suspect is so vivid on the page that the reader feels the need of a shower after each of his many appearances... One of the many wonderful things about this book is the impossibility of distinguishing between fact and fiction, but that is, after all, the nature of justice in Italy.«Sunday Times
