Introducing: Inspector Visco 3 Cheer An Italian murder Classic

Set in the South of Italy in the 1980s, Inspector Visco is an honest Italian cop swimming against a tide of corruption and criminality.

You are either a fan of Inspector Visco, or you haven't read any of the books yet. Every novel is an addictive mix that is set in the beautiful but dangerous South of Italy. Visco is not like your average police detective but is as much of an enigma as the south itself. Colourful, tough, dry-witted and occasionally crooked, but at the end of the day, a hen-pecked Italian husband and fashion guru.

Three deaths in a couple of days set alarm bells going about a possible serial killer. The murders lead Visco and his team into a world of Italian cheerleaders and prostitutes. Under pressure from his boss, it is a race against the clock to see if he can connect the clues and find the killer. As always with Visco, nothing is as it seems, and the twist at the end is brutal.

Cheer is part of the Inspector Visco series.
