Dibdin, Michael Cosi Fan Tutti: An Aurelio Zen Mystery
Vintage June 30, 1998 0-679-77911-6 / 9780679779117 Paperback Fine
The career of Italian policeman Auerlio Zen has certainly had its operatic ups and downs: as a nasty colleague points out, "In Milan, you wrongfully a rrest a man for the Tondelli murder, and 20 years later he tries to kill yo u after his release from prison. In Rome, you single-handedly 'solve' the M oro kidnapping, unfortunately too late to save the victim." So it's fitting that Michael Dibdin has used a real comic opera by Mozart and Lorenzo Dapo nte as the frame for his latest Zen outing. A Northern fish in Naples's pol luted waters, Venetian-born Zen seems to have found the perfect job to make himself invisible, as head of the harbor police. But several tangled plots --including one that deftly turns the Daponte stew of unsuitable suitors an d fake Albanians on its head--conspire to bring Auerlio into the spotlight one more time.

Dibdin, Michael Ratking
Faber Faber Inc August 5, 2004 0-571-15421-2 / 9780571154210 Paperback Very Good
In this masterpiece of psychological suspense, Italian Police Commissioner Aurelio Zen is dispatched to investigate the kidnapping of Ruggiero Miletti , a powerful Perugian industrialist. But nobody much wants Zen to succeed: not the local authorities, who view him as an interloper, and certainly not Miletti's children, who seem content to let the head of the family languis h in the hands of his abductors -- if he's still alive.

Dibdin, Michael Thanksgiving
Faber and Faber September 3, 20 0-571-20778-2 / 9780571207787 Paperback Fine
A middle-aged British journalist based in Seattle tracks down his deceased wife's first husband in this novel of nostalgia and obsession, a departure for Dibdin, author of the popular Aurelio Zen mystery series. After the dea th of his American wife, Lucy, in a plane crash, Anthony travels to Nevada to visit Darryl Bob, Lucy's creepy and reclusive former husband, who lives in a trailer filled with porn photos of Lucy and audiotapes of her adultero us trysts. Shortly after Anthony leaves Darryl Bob's trailer, Darryl Bob is found dead. Although Anthony is blameless, he is a suspect because his han dgun is found in the trailer--but only because Darryl Bob bought it when An thony began to brandish it in agitation at Darryl Bob's sarcasm. Gradually, Anthony shakes himself loose of the murder charge. Retreating to his paren ts' vacation home in France, he works toward adjusting to the reality of hi s wife's death, despite imagined visits from her ghost. A touching flashbac k to his courtship of Lucy and transcriptions of his past conversations wit h her further fleshes out Dibdin's portrait of the couple. Snapping along p ersuasively as it skips back and forth in time, the novel perceptively ques tions the boundaries of intimacy and love.

Dibdin, Michael Vendetta: An Aurelio Zen Mystery
Vintage September 1, 19 0-679-76853-X / 9780679768531 Paperback Very Good+
Corruption in high places, underworld skulduggery and a vendetta among moun tainfolk are ingredients for murder in this literate, suspenseful thriller. An intruder guns down an eccentric Sardinian billionaire, his wife and two guests in his seemingly impregnable villa. Enter befuddled Venetian inspec tor Aurelio Zen, last encountered in Dibdin's Ratking. Zen, who has a perfu nctory love life, a half-senile, bad-tempered mother and an intuitive facul ty sometimes worthy of his name, now works for an Italian government minist ry in Rome. He's dispatched to Sardinia to get the chief suspect, a politic ian's friend, off the hook. Two crazies want Zen rubbed out: a just-release d convict whom he'd sent to jail years ago, and the killer, whose lyrical, half-mad ramblings punctuate the narrative--of course, the two could be the same person. Spinning a plot as convoluted as Sardinia's winding streets, Dibdin illuminates a deeply corrupted society and ultimately vindicates his hero, who outmaneuvers the supercops trying to silence him.
