Aurelio Zen (Dead Lagoon, 1995, etc.) has bailed out of the Rome Questura one jump ahead of a hardship posting, preempting his inevitable exile by requesting assignment to the port detachment at Naples, which seems like a sleepy enough place for him to bide his time till his fortunes improve. In order to do a favor for a new acquaintance, the widow Valeria Squillace, and to enliven his new posting, he arranges for her marriageable daughters, Orestina and Filomena, to be whisked off to London while he dangles a pair of eager prostitutes under the noses of their highly unsuitable suitors, Gesualdo Troise and Sabatino Capuozzo (whence the Mozartean title). Little does Zen realize how deeply implicated Gesualdo and Sabatino are in a rash of assassinations engineered by the Strade Pulite (Clean Streets), an enterprising group of terrorists disguised as garbage men. For that matter, he has no idea that the American ensign his men are holding in jail for assault--a man who's neither American nor an ensign--has uncomfortably close ties to the Strade Pulite as well. The background is sinister, and there's a substantial body count, but the tone is brightly farcical, even before Zen's stolen police identification becomes a deliciously absurd red herring. As in the best farces, practically everybody, including Zen, turns out to be in disguise--though the outrageous variety of masquerades ranges far beyond anything Mozart ever thought of.

An Aurelio Zen Novel Michael Dibdin's overburdened Italian police inspector has been transferred to Naples, where the rule of law is so lax that a police station may double as a brothel. But this time, having alienated superiors with his impolitic zealousness in every previous posting, Zen is determined not to make waves. Too bad an American sailor (who may be neither American nor a sailor) knifes one of his opposite numbers in Naples's harbor, and some local garbage collectors have taken to moonlighting in homicide. And when Zen becomes embroiled in a romantic intrigue involving love-sick gangsters and prostitutes who pass themselves off as Albanian refugees, all Naples comes to resemble the set of the Mozart opera of the same title. Bawdy, suspenseful, and splendidly farcical, the result is an irresistible offering from a maestro of mystery. "From the Trade Paperback edition." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
