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.
