Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
For this novel, Dibdin was awarded the 'Gold Dagger' award of 1988. The Aurellio Zen series are Dibdin's best known works. They provide an insight into less visible aspects of Italian society at the turn of the twenty-first century. Aurelio Zen is an anti-hero, which adds to the irony and dark humour found in these books. There are eleven books in the series total. This is the first novel of this popular series. Uncommon in such a fine condition.
