Nadia Dalbuono has spent the last eighteen years working as a documentary director and consultant for Channel 4, ITV, Discovery, and National Geographic in various countries. The Devil is the fifth book in the Leone Scamarcio series, following The Few, The American, The Hit, and The Extremist. She divides her time between the UK and northern Italy.
"Gripping...You won't be able to put down this unsettling
tale."
--The Sun "Nadia Dalbuono is writing this with both the detachment
of an outsider and the understanding of a resident. As with Donna
Leon, Dalbuono clearly sees the terrible stagnation and immorality
of the system...The Few is an exciting and compelling read."
--Crime Squad "Has Donna Leon found her match?"
--Maxim Jakubowski, Lovereading.co.uk "[An] unsettling detective
thriller set in the dark heart of the corrupt Italian political
system."
--Chris Herde, Daily Telegraph "[A] really good debut...The plot is
murky and messy, the pace is fast and the characters well drawn,
conflicted and compromised."
--Auckland Herald "[A] professional and confident foray into the
realms of crime fiction...This detective has many more novels in
him than the modest two-volume series planned so far."
--Kerryn Goldsworthy, Canberra Times "Corruption, politics, and
personal agendas combine to create a murky atmosphere of confusion
and chaos. Scamarcio is a complicated character, as befits such a
complex storyline...Slow burning, slow building, but ultimately
rewarding."
--Tessa Chudy, Good Reading Magazine "Packed full of twists and
turns with never a dull moment...A real page-turner."
--Crime Review "...an excellent mystery and a great foundation for
a new series."
--Tonstant Weader
