Review
Praise for The Dogs of Rome 'A powerful and hugely compelling novel. Dark, worldly and written with tremendous style and assurance' * William Boyd * `The American-born Blume is an engaging hero who might just have to potential to fill the gap left when Michael Dibdin's death ended his Italian detective Aurelio Zen's investigations' * Sunday Times *
