In the heart of southern Italy, the perfect crime is about to meet its match: a book club.
The Black Cats Bookshop in Southern Italy has everything a crime-fiction lover could dream of: shelves stacked with Christie, Penny, Osman, and King, a book club full of amateur detectives . . . and a terrifying masked killer on the loose.
Inside the bookshop that owes its name to formerly stray cats Miss Marple and Poirot, who wandered in one day and decided to stay, grumpy bookseller Marzio Montecristo meets weekly with a group of self-appointed crime and thriller experts. The cats attend as well, of course.
But there is a killer afoot. Thanks to their literary expertise, Marzio and his club once solved a baffling cold case within days, spotting parallels between the real crime and plotlines from books they had read. Now, confounded by a series of brutal murders, police superintendent Angela Dimase must turn to the unlikeliest of consultants: Marzio Montecristo's book club.
With wit, warmth, lightness of touch, and countless loving nods to the great works that shaped the mystery genre, Piergiorgio Pulixi rewrites the rules of cozy crime fiction, delivering a story that will appeal to everyone who loves a good crime novel.
