A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Finalist for both 2017 Hammett Prize (International Crime Writers Association) and Foreword Indie Book of the Year.

Noir master Domenic Stansberry returns with this sultry, decadent murder mystery. THE WHITE DEVIL tells the story of an aspiring American actress, who, together with her too charming brother, is implicated in a series of crimes dating back to their childhood days in Texas. The novel begins in Rome, among the American ex-patriot community, and from there follows the siblings latest obsessions: an aging Italian actress and her charismatic husband. Stansberry s protagonist, Vicki Wilson, narrates the story in a voice alternately intimate and distant, a cipher of unwholesome impulse and erotic intrigue. The result is an elegant tour de force, a psychological noir exploring the murky depths where the differences between familial and erotic love, between criminal and victim, merge in deadly, unexpected ways.

FREAKING INCREDIBLE Crimespree Magazine

Stansberry nails the sultry, decadent, and erotically charged tone with one perfectly placed hammer stroke after another. Booklist

Perhaps the most surprising feature of this tour de force is its pervasive links to both Jacobean tragedy and contemporary Mediterranean noir. Who knew? Kirkus
