When The Dead Arise, Jacobsen - B+

                                               This fabulous novel is set in Italy and features the efforts of a young assistant prosecutor pursuing a vicious series of crimes attributable to the Camorra. Since one of the victims was her father, a general in the national police, her motive is not just ambition, but ambition spiced with revenge. The plot is complex, believable and filled with a fantastic cast of characters: an old commanding mafia don, his Albanian henchman, a mysterious assassin, a famous fashion designer, an equally famous scientist and motorbike enthusiast, a driven prosecutor and Sabrina D'Avalo, a worthy heroine. This is fun for all.
