About this listen

Twenty years ago, a mysterious group called the Blue Demon committed a series of bizarre and ritualistic crimes evoking the legacy of the lost race of the Etruscans, and leaving in their wake a group of dead students, a murdered couple, a cryptic message and a kidnapped child.

Now, the leaders of the G8 are descending on Rome for a summit at the Quirinale Palace. But when a politician is found ritually murdered, seemingly by a strange young man dressed as an Etruscan god, detective Nic Costa suspects that the old case was never really solved. The Blue Demon appear to have returned - and planning, under the leadership of the fanatical Andrea Petrakis, to unleash a devastating sequence of attacks on the city. As Costa and his team start to dig deeper into the past, they find that there are still too many unanswered questions – and much more to the history of the Blue Demon than anyone wants to admit.

I’ve read each of the Nic Costa novels as they’ve been available and this one is particularly deep and dark. However I did find it less satisfying than others because the resolution of the story is incomplete and what action there was, seemed to take place with “our” favourite team almost onlookers for much of the story. It is a good read, but at times it seemed to drag and eventually I finished it feeling unsatisfied.

Wonderful narrator as always, twisty storyline
