Rate this book
Un imprenditore assassinato. Sospetti chiave con alibi di ferro. Riuscirà il testardo commissario Scala ad individuare e catturare l'assassino e far sì che il crimine non rimanga irrisolto?

Roma. Il commissario Maurizio Scala ha un forte debito d'onore nei confronti delle vittime di brutali assassini. Così, quando un ricco e benvoluto imprenditore viene trovato morto nella sua auto, lui è determinato a rendergli giustizia. Ma con ogni sospettato in grado di fornire prove apparentemente inconfutabili della propria innocenza, il caparbio commissario potrebbe non riuscire nell’intento.

Mentre vengono alla luce gli oscuri segreti della potente famiglia, l'indagine prende una svolta sconvolgente e la lista dei potenziali colpevoli, improvvisamente, si allunga. Con nuove informazioni a stravolgerla, Scala teme che l’assassino riesca a sfuggirgli e colpisca di nuovo.

Sarà in grado il commissario Scala di superare in astuzia l’elusivo assassino prima che questi scompaia nella notte?

L'Anno della Mantide è il primo libro ricco di suspense della serie Le indagini del commissario Scala. Se vi piacciono i polizieschi, gli eroi grintosi e i colpi di scena sorprendenti, allora adorerete l'emozionante giallo scritto da P. J. Mann

I read PJ's books out of order so have gone back to the beginning and making sure I get all the goodness. I have really enjoyed the other books in this series and was excited to see where it all began.

The Year of the Mantis is the first book in this A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome crime series. This book may be part of a series, but it reads just as easily as a standalone novel.
Detective Maurizio Scala is on a case in the beautiful city of Rome, Italy.

He gets caught up in tangled in a web of lies and deceit. It is not in his nature to give up even if it leads danger to his door. It is a gripping murder mystery that is full of action, suspense, and a few twists and turns to keep you interested. It is fast paced with lots of tension and suspense and realistic interactions and banter between characters.

This whodunnit is well written and kept me intrigued throughout.

If you enjoy a crime story, you won’t be disappointed.

A successful businessman is found dead in his car, and the facts gather, but just don't feel right. A detective with years of experience, he just knows there is something more. The nosey neighbor has more to offer, but it takes dedication, and a gut feeling there is so much more. A great read.
