Liar Moon

A well-crafted and spellbinding crime novel, Liar Moon is set in Italy, 1943. The country is now divided into a fascist north and a liberated south. Amidst the backdrop of relentless anti-partisan warfare, an aristocratic German investigating the death of a prominent local fascist must join forces with an Italian police chief hunting down an elusive serial killer. The second in a series of five, this gripping read will appeal to fans of Philip Kerr and Alan Furst. Italy, autumn 1943, the Italian government has switched sides and declared war on Germany. Italy is divided, the North controlled by the fascists, the South liberated by Allied forces slowly fighting their way up the peninsula. Having survived hell on the Russian Front, Wehrmacht Major and aristocrat Martin Bora is sent to Verona. He is ordered to investigate the murder of a prominent local fascist: a bizarre death, threatening to discredit the regime's public image. Against the backdrop of relentless anti-partisan warfare and the tragedy of the Holocaust, a breathless chase begins.
