Overview

'A breath of fresh air to mystery writing' - The Book Elf, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

----------

When Hollywood comes to Bologna, La Dolce Vita turns into sweet murder...

A famous Hollywood director arrives in Bologna to remake a cult film, and the city's renowned cinema archive decides to mark the occasion with a screening of the original... only to discover it has disappeared.

After English detective Daniel Leicester follows the trail of Love on a Razorblade to an apparent murder-suicide, he begins to suspect there may be more at stake than just missing negatives - could the film contain a clue to one of the city's most enduring mysteries?

Together with a Hollywood star from the upcoming remake, Daniel moves from the glamour of Venice Lido to the depths of Bologna's secret tunnel system as a sinister network closes in.

Daniel is about to learn that, for the ultimate 'director's cut', some people are ready to kill.
