Description: | Select Guide Rating The latest in the Guido Guerrieri series set in southern Italy. Guerrieri takes on another case with dubious merits. This time he agrees to defend a judge suspected of corruption, an accusation that sadly looks likely to stick. This suspenseful legal thriller tells the story of Judge Larocca who, to quote The Brothers Karamazov, ''lies to himself and listens to his own lies, so gets to the point where he can no longer distinguish the truth.'' A man always looking to justify his evil and corrupt behaviour, he is perhaps an apposite metaphor for Italy itself. When he becomes the subject of corruption allegations, fellow judge, Judge Guerrieri goes against his better instincts and takes the case. Eventually, justice will be served, though perhaps not in the most orthodox of ways. |
