A GUIDO IN THE SOUTH

I have finally started reading Gianrico Carofiglio's highly praised book Involuntary Witness, and the early signs are good. I will have trouble after so many years of Guido Brunetti in Venice to get used to Guido Guerrieri in Bari.

Guerrieri is a defence lawyer, who is making the long journey from cynical time server to fighter against injustice. He has a raft of personal problems, and a healthy distrust of the Italian legal system.
