***A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR***



The Bastards face their hardest challenge yet

Sometimes it takes facing a formidable adversary to truly know one’s worth. The Bastards of Pizzofalcone may have found just that: when the brutal murder of a baker rattles the city, they are ready to investigate. There’s nothing they wouldn’t do to prove themselves to their community. But this time the police are divided: for the special anti-mob branch, the local mafia is doubtlessly responsible for the crime, but the Bastards are not so sure and think there may be another reason for the murder of the renowned artisan, whose traditionally baked bread attracted customers from far and wide. A rivalry between the policeman and the magistrate is formed, one that, in the end, will extend to more than just their work lives.

Maurizio de Giovanni’s Commissario Ricciardi books are bestsellers across Europe, with sales of the series approaching 1 million copies worldwide. His new contemporary series, The Bastards of Pizzofalcone, has been made into a TV series. He lives in Naples with his family. Antony Shugaar is a translator and writer. Among his recent translations are winners of the Italian Strega Prize, for 2011 (Story of My People, Edoardo Nesi, Other Press), 2013 (Resistance Is Futile, Walter Siti, Rizzoli), 2015 (Ferocity, Nicola Lagioia, Europa), and 2016 (The Catholic School, Edoardo Albinati).
