Synopsis
Commissario Soneri returns home for a hard-earned autumn holiday, hoping to spend a few days mushroom picking on the slopes of Montelupo. This isolated village relies on the salame factory founded in the post-war years by Palmiro Rodolfi, and now run by his son, Paride.
On arrival, Soneri is greeted by anxious rumours about the factory's solvency and the younger Rodolfi's whereabouts. Not long afterwards, a decomposing body is found in the woods. In the shadow of Montelupo, carabinieri prepare to apprehend their chief suspect - an ageing woodsman who defended the same mountains from S.S. commandos during the war.

About the Author
Valerio Varesi has been the Parma correspondent for La Stampa and La Repubblica. The Dark Valley is the second in a series of thrillers featuring Commissario Soneri, now the protagonist of one of Italy's most popular television dramas. Joseph Farrell is the distinguished translator of Leonardo Sciascia, Vincenzo Consolo the Nobel Laureate and Dario Fo.
Review
'Varesi exposes a dark history that still has the power to unsettle' Joan Smith, Sunday Times. 'A master storyteller' Barry Forshaw, Independent. 'Where he raises his game from the common crime ruck, however, is in his almost painterly evocation of wretchedly dark atmosphere and character. He could be the long-lost heir of Caravaggio' The Herald (Glasgow). 'A multi-layered adult thriller about politics, relationships and corruption that will thrill to the very last page' Italia Magazine.
