At this point, it’s not as much of a surprise as it is a
pleasure for us at Benay to see our client, Soho
Press in the New York Times Book Review. Soho Crime, an imprint of Soho
Press, has recently released The Monster
of Florence to American audiences. Written by Magdalen Nabb about several double
homicides in Florence, Italy from 1968-1985, The Monster of Florence was published in Britain in 1996 but never
made its way to American audiences.
The story revolves around the intuitive detective, Marshal
Salvatore Guarnaccia. Guarnaccia may not be the brightest detective but he
understands people on a deeper level than most. “He watches, he listens, he
asks discreet questions, and his intuitive intelligence (‘He either knew things
or he didn’t) gives him insight into minds closed to reason.” The book is
written in Nabb’s “expressive style” and “is one of [her] darkest novels,
almost shocking in its disenchanted acknowledgement of human brutality.”
Another exciting win for Soho Press. You can read an excerpt of the book on
their website.
