Book 48 of 2022. This is the third in a series of WW2 noir detective stories about a German army officer called Martin Bora. He's in Rome in 1944 just before it falls to the Allies and looking into the apparent suicide, and possible murder, of a German embassy employee. Replete with the moral ambiguities of the best detective fiction, it brilliantly recreates the surreal atmosphere of a city under siege.
