Summary

'Benjamin's latest captivating mystery will keep the reader hooked to the very last page while also bringing the city of Bologna to fascinating life. Bravo!'
Camilla Trinchieri, author of Murder in Chianti

'Excellent! This time, English detective Daniel Leicester takes us on a hairpin ride through the glamorous, perilous world of Formula One. An absorbing portrayal of what happens when wealth, rivalry and corruption collide, this is a compelling read from a writer who knows Italy inside out and is at the top of his game.'
Eleni Kyriacou, author of The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou, selected for BBC 2 Between the Covers Book Club 2023

'Raced through this latest in the fab crime series featuring English 'tec Dan Leicester. Set in the murky world of Formula 1, this souped-up thriller should ensure that Tom Benjamin takes his rightful place at the front of the crime-writing grid' Trevor Wood

When an old man makes a bequest to investigate the mysterious death of his son, English detective Daniel Leicester follows a trail leading to one of Bologna's wealthiest families - makers of some of the world's most coveted supercars. He soon discovers that beneath the glitz and glamour of the Formula One circuit lurk certain people, with sinister interests, who may just be prepared to kill to keep their secrets. Time and tide wait for no man - or woman - and while biology obliges one of Faidate Investigations' team to finally undergo a long-delayed operation, history catches up with another. Shadowing a suspect along one of Bologna's blood-red porticoes or mixing with the glitterati in the paddock at Imola, the English detective comes to learn in Italy the past not only has a long tail, but its sting can be deadly.

Totally Excellent

This is another totally excellent book in this series.
Great plot. Characters that are believable with depth.Twists that add rather than being A Christie ridiculous. The mood and feel of Italy and Italians is perfectly captured (I’m half Italian). But it really,really is like being back in Bologna. It feels like I’m walking around the city in my head.
The narrator is superb too. Great characterisation completely avoiding “shud uppa yer face” stereotype Italian
Top job.
One complaint. Why oh why did you mention Da Vito? My only hope is that it’s look and feel will deter our American cousins, ‘influencers’, people screaming ‘oh my God’ whilst photographing a plate of pasta etc etc. for a while yet.
But I guess from your crack about Hammers supporters that is not your target market. Spot on. We do take our pleasures where we can.
This novel is definitely one of mine.

Another great book from Tom Benjamin

Really enjoyed Book 5 in the series, couldn't stop listening and was sad when it was finished. Look forward to the next one!
