A Fine Line by Gianrico Carofiglio
When Judge Larocca is the subject of corruption allegations, Guerrieri goes against his better instincts and takes the case. After all they had been at school and university together. Helped by Annapaola Doria, a motorbike-riding bisexual private detective who keeps a baseball bat to hand for sticky situations, he discovers the judge's links to the mafia. Larocca is blind to the immorality of his actions but Annapaola makes sure that justice is done, perhaps not in the most orthodox way. Of course Guerrieri cannot stop himself from falling for Annapaola's exotic charms. The novel takes the form of a suspenseful legal thriller but it is much more. It is the story of a judge who , to quote Brothers Karamazov, "...lies to himself and listens to his own lies, so gets to the point where he can no longer distinguish the truth, either in himself or around himself." A man always looking to justify his evil and corrupt behaviour, perhaps an apposite metaphor for Italy itself.
Praise for the series: WALK IN THE DARK (9781904738-534) "This book is hard-boiled and sun-dried in equal partsWhere Philip Marlowe would be knocking back bourbon and listening to the snap of fist on jaw, Guerrieri prefers Sicilian wine and Leonard Cohen. " Financial Times; INVOLUNTARY WITNESS (9781904738-527). "Written with brio, humour and skill. Guerrieri is a lawyer who struggles with his own demons as much as with his stressful case-load. It sometimes feels as though he's the only honest lawyer in Bari." Daily Mail
