BLOOD RAIN BY MICHAEL DIBDIN IN SOUTH AFRICA

After his last case, among the gentle hills and lush vineyards of Piedmont, Inspector Zen finally receives the order he has been dreading all his professional life: his next posting is to Sicily. The gruesome discovery of an unidentified, decomposed corpse sealed in a railway wagon on a disused siding marks the beginning of Zen's most difficult and dangerous case.  Set against the backdrop of the three-thousand year old city of Catania, in the shadow of the smouldering volcano of Etna, Blood Rain reveals Aurelio Zen at his most desperate and driven. Soft cover, fairly good condition.  The paper is yellowing a bit. There is a rubber stamp marking on the inside cover.  326 pages.
