A powerful industrialist, Ruggiero Miletti, is kidnapped. Inspector Zen is transferred to Perugia to take over the case - but finds that there are many obstacles in his way. The local authorities see him as an interloper, and the victim’s family, one of the most powerful in Italy, seem content to let Miletti languish in the hands of his abductors. Zen has crossed swords with the establishment before - and lost. Can he succeed this time?

Michael Kitchen is quite good.

Kitchen's lugubrious style helped to capture the central character's personality and also, helps paint the scenery that surrounds the action.
Between the author and his orator, this production conjures amazing imagery of the characters and their locations, both of which intertwine a thoroughly gripping mystery.
Narration fabulously enhances a fantastic book.

Would you listen to Ratking again? Why?
PerhapsWhat did you like best about this story?
Zen. And Kitchen reading him.Any additional comments?
I saw the Zen series and Kitchen in Foyle. That's why I bought the book. I like Kitchen's voice. He got into Zen's character and personality really well. Great Job!!!Great Narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would have made Aurelio Zen more of a champion and hero. I did not understand him nor his thoughts and his reasoning sometimes escaped me completely. I wanted to like him more, but often ended up feeling like he was a bit of a lost soul/loser.What does Michael Kitchen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrator was very good and paced the story well. His voices had tons of character and helped me keep each individual in the story separated in my head, which can be a difficult task in an audible book with many characters.Any additional comments?
The mystery existed and until the end, I could not figure it out (which I do like in a mystery novel). However, the main character was not likeable enough for me and although he came through in the end with the answers like all good mystery books, I did not like him anymore at the end then I did as I went through the book. Well written though if you like the silent, remorseful, no longer ambitious type of man.Main character let me down....

Good book, Struggled with Narrator.

Ninety minutes in, I gave up after realizing I'd not taken in any of the story because of the awful narration. His voice is nice enough but his choppy/biting manner of (over)acting rather than narrating is very irritating. If I don't like a narrator, I can usually put push through to the end but I was beaten by this one.
I'll stick to the printed version on this series.
Couldn't finish. :-(
