We’re delighted to hear of a
rare visit to London
by Roberto Costantini. He is
appearing in conversation with Barry
Forshaw at the Italian Cultural
Institute on 9th April 2013.
Roberto Costantini’s debut
novel, Tu
Sei Il Male, has been a huge success in many European countries, especially
Germany . It
went into its third reprinting within a week of being published in Italy and
was the only debut novel among the 5 finalists of the 2011 Scerbanenco
Prize, realising special mention as “debut work revealing itself as a great
promise for noir fiction”.
Here’s the book video
–
It is now being published in
the UK
under the title The
Deliverance of Evil by Quercus, the publishers of Stieg
Larsson. The Deliverance of Evil is an outstanding thriller
which starts against the backdrop of Italy winning the World Cup in 1982
and concludes in 2006 just as they are about to be victorious again. A
vicious murderer who first struck twenty-four years earlier is waiting to kill
again. The author combines the plotting and pace of international
crime with the poise and prowess of literary fiction.
Jeffery
Deaver said of this novel: “Deliverance
of Evil is one of those rare novels that bring together the best elements of
literature: it is rich with fascinating political history, filled with
brilliant psychological insight into all of the characters, and a nonstop
thriller that drives readers relentlessly from first page to last. Bravo,
Roberto Constantini!”
Roberto Costantini was born
in Tripoli . He
is the manager of the LUISS Guido Carli University in Rome ,
where he also teaches on the MBA programme.
