I looked through all the books I have stacked up and nothing appealed to me. Therefore, I have gone back to the last Dibdin Aurelio Zen book I have left. I love the Zen series and I was saving the only one I have not read. "In Blood Rain, Zen has been exiled to Sicily under the guise of acting as a sort of watchdog, observing a recently reestablished anti-Mafia taskforce. By the nature of the locale--Sicily makes its own rules--the fact that the work of this commission will inevitably be compromised seems clear. What these books deliver is a uniquely hard-edged, no-holds-barred cynicism--light years from the squishy idealism lurking beneath the hard-boiled exteriors of most American detectives." Blood Rain by Michael Dibdin 300 pages published by Vintage. Unfortunately, Michael Dibdin, a British writer, died in 2007 and there will be no more books.
