Judge Surra. La Bambina. The Triple Dream of the Prosecutor.
Andrea Camilleri is one of Italy's best-loved and most successful authors. The Potter's Field was the winner of the 2012 International Dagger. Carlo Lucarelli was co-founder of the 'Gruppo 13' writers' collective, and now teaches at Alessandro Baricco's Holden School in Turin, as well as at Padova's maximum-security prison. Giancarlo De Cataldo is an Italian magistrate turned crime writer. He is the editor of Crimini, the Bitter Lemon book of Italian Crime Fiction.
Each story covers a similar theme but are all very different in approach and time-frame and the high standard does make you wish that more of Lucarelli's and De Cataldo's books were available in English. All three authors have recently had tv series shown in the UK: Montalbano, Inspector De Luca and Romanzo Criminale, so one can hope - EurocrimeA delightful blend of the serious and the comic. The protagonist is a version of the holy fool, always one step ahead of the villains without (apparently) realising it. - CWA Judges' comments on Judge Surra
