Day After Day



Ispettore Grazia Negro tracks down another faceless killer in this intelligent sequel to the CWA Gold Dagger Award-shortlisted Almost Blue.

A professional killer is at large in the cities of Italy. Code-named 'Pit Bull', he is a master of disguise and an expert with weapons. He modifies his guns and his bullets are untraceable. His skill with prosthetics, wigs and makeup means that no two victims witness the same terrifying final vision. This is a hunt for a man with no face. Only the picture of a pit bull terrier left behind at each murder can link the crimes. Day after day, Ispettore Negro works on her seemingly impossible case. But when a young man unwittingly encounters Pit Bull in an internet chat room, he provides Negro with the clue that could lead her to her target.

Praise for Day After Day

Praise for Almost Blue: A brilliantly psychotic villain...a rollercoaster plot that never slows for red herrings or unnecessary verbiage, this is a compact and powerful masterpiece, and the first example we have of the Turin school of Italian noir. More, please

Maxim Jakobowski, Guardian

Funny, black, fast and nasty, pretty much everything you would want from a modern crime novel

Scottish Sunday Herald

Full of the tensions and atmosphere Lucarelli is so adept at creating

The Times

Ispettore Grazia Negro thankfully remains centre stage...and Lucarelli carries over many of the fascinations of his feted first book
